You implement security in order to have privacy and I agree it's poorly understood in the digital realm, mostly because it's "out of sight and out of mind". I like to use an analogy I can't remember where I picked up…
Ok, I am aware of how it works, but I'm not talking pentests or hardening. I'm talking simple, cheap design choices in this case, that could've eliminated the whole Mirai debauchery. In your app you already have a setup…
How many pennies would've been needed to insert a simple page forcing you to change user/password combo and to choose a reasonably strong password after first boot ? In the case of Mirai it's not even a cost issue, just…
Amen, the Security Industry is doing great, security is doing poorly.
But when you tell someone "That's not secure, you can easily get hacked. You need to [insert good security practices here]", what response do you get ? In my experience, most answer along the lines of "So what ? What…
By sending binary SMSs. There are multiple classes of SMS, including binary messages through which operators can access and change data directly on your SIM. Since that's also your crypto chip, yeah ... TLDR:…
Was wondering how long it took for someone to catch that. :)
Call it VeraCrypt, because TrueCrypt is dead now.
His defense will be that he never had criminal intention, that it was an unfortunate accident, that can be chalked up to inexperience and curiosity. That he didn't take measures to hide his identity and that he was…
Like any new technology early adopters pay way more, because economies of scale have yet to be achieved. Musk knows this, same with Tesla, he is marketing to a high-income target market first, because they are the ideal…
You mean this: https://github.com/psal/anonymouth Yes, it apparently is, we have a lot of personal tells.
To go with Lemmy "Regrets are always late and usually pointless" and to go with Frank "... I have a few, but then again too few to mention", except 1. not marrying her.
Would you like to come up and see my etchings ? Better still, stay here and I'll bring them down. :)
Will use this as a referencem good article.
Technically yes, economically difficult for most nations, if it's approached at this level. Germany has had an interesting approach to solar, where they subsidized solar panels for homeowners. I think it is the smarter…
Solar and wind based energy production is not going to fully or even mostly replace our gas/coal burners because they lack constant and predictable outputs. Also, we have neither infrastructure for storing power at this…
Yes it is. He means the Chinese 'equivalent' which is called Weibo.
It would seem so, wouldn't it ? But changing a Constitution would at least require a validation from their Suprene Court in terms of structure and adherence to legal principles. Coalition Parliament majority is not…
I would disagree, I think it's a label attached to those people that actively attempt to influence policy making on behalf of their client's interests. Just offering specialized input would be consulting. And the way I…
Ah, reality is an infinite source of irony.
'If you're reading this, then you'll probably end up in an owner shell at some point' ... Am I that transparent ?
You bring up a valid point. The ecosystem is going to be huge, so focusing on larger companies, with classical appliance lines (fridge, toaster, TV), that open source their firmware makes sense. Within a certain product…
I found it a good read, too. Hey, it's not bribery when you have a legal setup for it. It's 'lobbying', 'post public office career options', 'match making fees', 'incentives for key stakeholders'. Wouldn't want to get…
Yes, agreed. I am seriously thinking there might be a market for lobotomizing smart appliance. Niche market, but still.
If you use Tor the same way you have used a regular browser there could be an 'image' of your online habits to compare with (not applicable within the darknet). But if the user doesn't use it in the same way, the likely…
