WEP was an old network security protocol that ended up being replaced due to its intrinsic weakness to be able to get the password from a packet (beacon) without even being authenticated with the network. But you can make it more secure by using temporary credentials, and why would you not, if the cost is reasonable? In fact, it may even be acceptible in many scenarios. So as you can see, sending the username/password in each request is not a direct vulnerability. This of course may or may not be acceptable from a user experience point of view - but security is always a balance. It's usually better if the user enters credentials, receives a temporary token and the client forgets about the actual password until the token expires and the user has to provide his password again. Storing sensitive stuff on the client is not usually a good idea, opens up possibilities for an attacker. You need to store the password on the client if you want to send it with each request. The same as above, it's much better if he can only observe temporary ids instead of actual passwords. If you have an attacker already on the server, he may not be able to access the database to directly read/modify credentials, but he may be able to observe the web server process for a limited time. Internal attackers are also something to consider. It's still good, but at least not the password. If it's just a temporary API key (or a session id or whatever), that's less value for the attacker. If the webserver receives the user password all the time, it will be in memory probably multiple times. A while ago there was a vulnerability in the openssl implementation where you could practically read parts of the server memory (the webserver process). Server vulnerabilities can also be a problem. If he only decrypts an API key that has been obsolete for 3 years, fine, but if it's a user password. Chances are not very high, but the problem is, with many TLS cipher suites, an attacker can record traffic now, and decrypt it later (because it takes long, or the method is not yet invented). For some time though, it may be possible for an attacker to deduce bits from an encrypted stream, which may be made easier if the encrypted content is partially known (ie. It does happen from time to time that a new attack against TLS is disclosed, which is then patched eventually. Sometimes there are weaknesses in SSL/TLS. You don't need to run this risk in an API app, however, sending it in every request or not barely modifies this risk, but it does a little bit, because of the next point. If you have many users, many will have passwords like 123456 and similar. However, you should still probably not do it in most cases, for at least the following reasons. There is absolutely no difference in this regard. You are totally right, a password could be sent the same way as an API key on each request, you can revoke it the same way, etc. An API key is even worse in a sense, because depending on implementation, you would typically store API keys plaintext in the database, as opposed to properly hashed passwords (sidenote, but please use something like bcrypt or pbkdf2 when hashing). Technically, a username/password is pretty much the same as something like an API key, they are equivalent for the time they are valid. Sending username/password in each request is not advisable, but the other answer does not even touch on the real reasons why. ![]() This would make a great security interview question, because it measures very well the level of understanding in the security domain. ![]() ![]() It is a crime to falsify records or to misrepresent your income when applying for City, State and/or Federally subsidized housing.

"Me my lord?" Draco asked respectfully as he sat and got ready to listen to what Voldemort had to say. You will be honored beyond all others in the months to come." Voldemort told Draco as he bade him to sit down in the nearest chair. Now that his father was incarcerated in the Wizard's prison of Azkaban, either he would take on his family's lifelong debt to the Dark Lord or he would pay the price of his father's misfortunes. "My lord," Draco bowed respectfully in front of his new Master. ![]() The guest of honor, Draco Malfoy." he said as DracoĮntered the room all by himself. Incompetent fools!" Voldemort spat as he paced the room throwing hexes at whoever tried to interrupt his brooding. The Dark Lord awaits!"

But that’s not why you’re being summoned to the Dark Lord." Bellatrix cut in before Narcissa could answer. "Is it true Mother.? Has father been captured?" Draco asked his mother as he finally made it to her, still breathing hard. If Lucius were here, he'd never allow it!" She berated her sister, nearly in tears at learning that her only son would be undertaking a very dangerous mission that only he could perform. Draco will have the honor of serving the Dark Lord in the most important mission he will ever have." Bellatrix Lestrange told her sister as her nephew walked towards them. ![]() Waiting for him there was his aunt Bellatrix and mother Narcissa Malfoy. After learning of his father's capture at the Ministry of Magic, Draco had fled the school and made it to Hogsmeade. While Harry threw Dumbledore's prized possessions around his office without regard, Draco Malfoy was being summoned to Lord Voldemort, back at his parents' manor. If the trauma of losing the only family Harry had left was not enough, Harry finally found out why Dumbledore had been avoiding him all year. All of this eventually culminated in a battle at the Ministry of Magic and the death of Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. This had led to a very difficult fifth year at Hogwarts for Harry one which had seen him fight with his friends, question Dumbledore and battle against bad press all year. Although Harry had seen the return of Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore had backed up his claim, both the Ministry of Magic and eventually the entire magical world had seen it as far easier to simply ignore the idea of Voldemort returning to power and instead accuse Harry and Dumbledore of being either attention grabbers or that they were simply crazy. Only when he had reached his full power again and had regained his valuable book, did Voldemort lift the book's powers from the school and wipe everyone's memory of the book and the fictitious events it had produced. It was all used as a ruse to confuse and divert everyone's attention away from the actions of Wormtail and Voldemort during his slow return to power. It had therefore come as a shock to learn that the book's spells and potions were all fictitious and the books only real power was to affect the minds of everyone near it to make them believe they were living out their wildest fantasies. Harry and his friends had been using the book all year to play out their sexual fantasies with both their friends and enemies. Harry had escaped the reborn Voldemort and his Death Eaters after a fantastic battle and learning the secrets behind the fabled Spellbook of Desires and the effects it had had on Hogwarts and all who dwelled inside the school. After a very difficult fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Harry and the rest of the school was secretly subjected to the mind-altering Spellbook of Desires, Harry had to watch a fellow Triwizard Champion, Cedric Diggory, murdered by Peter Pettigrew, just before the return of Lord Voldemort. Publicly slighted by both the Ministry of Magic and the influential magical media, Harry had been called a liar, attention-seeker and delinquent. Chapter 1- In The Beginning Harry Potter's fifth year of education was one of the most diffi cult times of his young life. ![]() ![]() ![]() You'll understand the concept better towards the end when I attach the screen to the wall. In my Magic Mirror it is the screen that supports the frame, not the other way around. In my build, I've reversed this situation - making my Mirror much lighter, cheaper and easier. Invariably they have a wooden bar across the back to hold the screen in place. Most builds seem to use a heavy wooden frame to support the substantial weight of the screen. In constructing my Mirror I did something I haven't seen elsewhere. Unfortunately these brands may not be available outside North America. Mirroview - this one seems to be designed specifically for computer screen scenarios.That said, from my research I came to the conclusion that two mirrors from Pilkington are probably the best available: I scoured the internet looking for the definition of the "best ratio of reflectivity/transparency." Most sources say 70% reflective, 30% transparent is ideal. Acrylic is good because it's very light, but from experience, I think it's better for smaller mirrors only. Personally, I used 3mm acrylic and although it looks great, I'd prefer to replace it with glass that eliminates distortion. See here for discussions about acquiring in different places. It can be difficult to get in many countries. The glass/acrylic for the mirror is about the hardest component to get right. Drill (for attaching VESA mount to wall).You'll probably want it flush to keep the screen as close as possible to the wall. Screen wall mount - usually called a "VESA" mount and you'll need one for your specific screen.Extension power cable - you'll probably cut the power cable from your screen and splice it to another cable.It's ideal because you can find it anywhere, it's strong and it doesn't stretch. Strapping band - I found the single meter I needed wrapped around a box of printer paper.IKEA's RIBBA frame (No.: 200.780.50.) I specifically suggest this frame because of a certain characteristic that simplifies construction of the mirror.You'll also need a video cable (and probably a converter to HDMI) and power cable.

![]() Over the period 1450-1500, the master printers who established presses in cities across Europe were overwhelmingly German. The first known “blueprint” manual on the production of movable type was only printed in 1540. Ironically, in the context of this article, the printing press itself was monopolistic as the knowledge of materials was quasi-proprietary: Europe was going through an information revolution albeit, a much slower one than we’re enjoying now.Īccording to Professor Jeremiah Dittmar of the London School of Economics, writing in 2011, European cities which adopted the printing press experienced 60% higher economic growth than those which didn’t buy into the technology from 1450 to 1600. The printing press had been invented by Johannes Gutenberg in 1440, only 160 years before the EIC received its Royal Charter. The legal foundations which enabled capitalist modes of exchange had been formed in Germanic states and the codification of laws and legal practices was beginning to occur across northern Europe. What we see in the East India Company is a business established during a period of broader social change. The company ruled much of India until 1858 when the British government stepped in and established the Raj. It traded in cotton, silk, salt, tea, opium, and much more. The East India Company (EIC) was the British wing of this venture and, at its largest, its operations amounted to half the world’s trade. This was the birth of empire and the global expansion was delivered largely through the competition of private forces. (Finally managed to make use of my degrees…) One of the first widely known examples of monopolies may be that of the trading companies established as quasi-feudalist mercantilism began to transition closer to what we might consider early manifestations of capitalism. History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as AOL East India Trading Companies and the birth of corporate monopolies In this article, we’ll look at the rise and fall of some monopolistic scenarios and try to learn a little about how this current dominance may look moving forward. Monopolies form and fade, doing so in response to specific factors and environments. Market position isn’t static, it’s dynamic. ![]() Maybe it’s not a monopoly at all, but a duopoly?
