Scala-Euler Problem1

Finished my approach to Euler Problem 1 last night and checked everything into github. If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23. Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

On Education and Employability

Hacking Weekend

So, I’ve been experimenting over the weekend with Backtrack 4. My… Lord…. Times have changed, it used to be that if you wanted to mess with WEP you have to go thru a dozen intermediate stages. wesside-ng makes life so much simpler.30 minutes, fully automated. What i had done previously was manual airodump-ng, aireplay-ng with arp attacks, and then shifting the caps onto my big box to crack inside of 10 seconds, pity is the packet capture on a quiet network can take a day. ...
