It wouldn't have to be acquired from the dump. Imagine this scenario:
1) $BADGUY (say, a business competitor) occasionally visits your office (for meetings or whatever).
2) $BADGUY notices that you use CrapSecurity lightbulbs, and brings along a dead CrapSecurity bulb in his backpack.
3) $BADGUY goes to bathroom, replaces the CrapSecurity bulb in your bathroom with his dead bulb (so you think it just burned out or something) and takes your bulb along to read the password at his leisure.
- Turing_Machine 8y agoDon't forget the janitor issue, too. How much would your building's janitor have to be bribed to give someone a dead bulb? Replacing bulbs is one of the things that janitors do, so there'd be virtually no risk to him. The new bulb would have to be added to the network by the sysadmin, but is he gonna ask the janitor for the old one?
- Xylakant 8y agoRequiring a sysadmin to add a new bulb to the network? I'd rather stick with dumb lightbulbs, thank you. (In a practical deployment the janitor will have the credentials to the network that the lightbulbs are on, hopefully not the one that all other devices are)
