QUID de la responsabilité en cas de défaut de surveillance ?
Est-ce l'infirmier de SSPI, l'anesthésiste-réanimateur ou les deux ?

On OrbitFarmer Charlie's Space-Powered Smart Agritech PlatformBetty Bonnardel and I share a unique connection to the Alps.

Acquire current user hashes without admin privileges
Anton Sapozhnikov KPMG
If an attacker has only user level access to an infected machine inside corporate internal network, that means he or she has quite a limited number of ways to get the password of that user.
