I'd assume the HEADERs would be the same, e.g. basic stuff like UAS could be the same, or more low-level like Accept-* headers.

Note that this doesn't seem like a DDoS focused on high-bandwidth but rather focused on causing application load by triggering some server action and abusing the CPU/RAM, etc. In this case, Level7 analysis, is very effective and usually simple.

I think I am going to start playing with that idea. Or join you, if you're into it. I would love to be part of such a non-profit. My wife, a doctor, was very excited at the research use-cases this could help her with.

Why such an article on such a topic start with torture is beyond me. The question we should be asking, I think, is when (the "how" is no longer relevant now is it) we start engineering humans, how we avoid the situation that has been "documented" in every post-apocalyptic sci-fi where a superior species arrives (or created) and wipes out the weaker, non-engineered humans?

I am far less concerned with philosophical question, such as whether a person engineering to be the smartest would be smart on his own right; would a person engineered to be the strongest & fastest be a successful athlete in his own right, or is it simply an unfair inter-species competition which is no different than pitting a disabled person vs. a healthy one; etc.

So I changed my password through my PC yesterday, went to my Android client and, to my surprise, it is logged on the mobile!

It's been more than 12 hours, and the access token for the mobile client is still connected to my account, despite changing my password.

I would expect all tokens to be revoked on-password-change. Really disappointing.

I'll have to set up an SSL proxy later to dump the traffic from Android, see what is happening. Anyone compiled SSLDump for Android?
