I understand that u suppose 2 crawl b4 we walk n walk b4 running, but I think its time we stepped up our game. Im totally down with this, I just think that at the end of the day the main point of these challenges, competitions and study groups is to learn and practice right? So why not learn by making a real app that can help our society and give us money. Like experience is the best teacher. What if we did these challenges, competitions and study groups in order to make a real app like: a. An app that can predict when NEPA will turn the light off or bring it on b. An app that can predict what Naija streets will have the most traffic, the best route to take and where to go from there c. An app that can predict where next crime or violence or Boko Haram attacks will be. Or how do u feel? Like lets team up to build apps that not only will add value to our society, but will also give us money and recognition. We could also make a Facebook or Twitter or Google clone and then try to sell it. Pata pata, people will say they are not interested, but either way, we would have learn something. Or how does everyone feel? |

Erm... My system crashed! Lost all I had. |

sisqology: Erm... My system crashed! Lost all I had. seun the second. you no get second partition for your laptop where you save important files |

sisqology: Erm... My system crashed! Lost all I had.For real? And I was here thinking you had lost interest with continuing the challenge and I'm sorry for that. I'm also sorry your system crashed, how did it happen? |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by Seun(m): 11:11am On Jul 16, 2014 |
spikesC: seun the second. you no get second partition for your laptop where you save important filesIf the disk crashes you will lose all the data on that disk even if it's on the second partition. Use DVD-ROM drives, flash or external HDD. |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by dhtml(m): 11:24am On Jul 16, 2014 |
Sorry bro, I wish you quick recovery. |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by InesQor(m): 11:36am On Jul 16, 2014 |
Seun: No mean of storage is totally safe. Even optical drives and magnetic disks have failure points. SSD is a bit better though. And if you keep files in a cabinet na fire or rat or cockroach you go fear |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by spikesC(m): 12:06pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
InesQor: Online multiple site backup (i.e AWS, google drive etc.) And it's very cheap |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by InesQor(m): 12:29pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
spikesC: Good point. But it's not like Amazon or Google or any other cloud storage service is totally inviolable either. I know someone (who knows someone ) that steals files from people's Amazon lockers and releases them on pirat'ebay and blac'khat forums. |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by Nobody: 12:31pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
InesQor: I think I need to know this "someone" |

InesQor: Hahaha I don't know what you're implying! |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by spikesC(m): 12:51pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
InesQor: That is for public buckets. Backups cannot be stolen because you don't even know it's there 1 Like |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by InesQor(m): 12:56pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
MissMeiya: Lol! It's someone I know from an underground Russian site. Rule 9:: 9. Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g fraud, piracy, and spreading malware. |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by InesQor(m): 12:59pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
spikesC:You're right. Backups cannot be "targeted". However they can be stolen if someone randomly scrubs Amazon for private buckets, never knowing what they might find. |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by spikesC(m): 1:06pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
InesQor: You cannot randomly scrub Amazon. Not even for public buckets. You have to have a target. To get a target, you need a link to a file in that bucket, decipher the link and do your magic. |
Re: Programming Challenge For Beginners N20000 by InesQor(m): 1:48pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
You obviously have not heard of tools such as Robin Wood's S3 bucket finder tool and other such scripts used for brute force hacking S3 buckets. You can google that. Amazon S3 bucket URLs are rather predictable and can be scrubbed using dictionary attacks, sorry. No, you dont need a link to any file. You just cant tell what you will find. You're only more safe if you ensure you configure your buckets with proper permissions. But then, apparently many people do not. |

InesQor: Sorry dear, sometimes tone is hard to convey over the Internet I was being coy I knew very well what you meant |

Nothing else should be on this page Contact page Show firstname, lastname, email, address forms and provide a "department" option with some variety of options, you may use a radio button or dropdown for the departments.
