"Encryption" of media like that is always just going to be obfuscation, you get protection form the anti DMCA removal law, the actual encryption isn't worth the bits it flips. In fact, if you make it "stronger" from

Interestingly even Adobe doesn't know what it is, the detection software was supplied to them as a binary. I messed around with it in a similar way to the author out of sheer curiosity and ended up completely baffled by the whole thing

You'd be better off with FPGA which are available in significantly smaller process sizes (and therefor lower running costs) than ASICs you roll yourself. There's also a certain level of reusability that you don't get with SHA

I'd like to hack one of them to do something more interesting. I suspect it's probably quite capable under the hood and could be re-purposed. Sort of a double edged sword though, what if you got malware on your Tide button?

I wouldn't really call this spying, it's pretty necessary for Google to do some human verification of the content they are selling advertising amongst. I'd be more surprised to find out that they weren't reviewing conten

Presumably you can get around the "proximity" limit by just using a more powerful transmitter, I can't imagine they have any actual near field communication or anything.

There are a lot of LEDs that have controllers embedded like the WS2812.

Might be a good idea to. Don't want to burn all the excitement on the wrong bug.

iTunes unlock is actually done with a pre shared key during sync.

You need the passcode on reboot of the device anyway. I'd rather have a strong passcode and Touch ID than a weak passcode that's easily broken. A strong password and no Touch ID is almost completely unusable.

With this particular tool, probably. You're a lot better off using an alphanumeric passcode and Touch ID though.

This is not a particularly new attack. It's been used for years against simpler devices, especially where you can access the flash chip and force it's write protect on.

Most Chinese lightning cables tend to get blocked by apple or just generally fail on their own.

iMessage still suffers from massive consistency failures; due to the incoming messages not being chronologically ordered even small network glitches mean things get confusing fast. iCloud at least in part seems to run on Microsoft Azure, am

It's because the device has tried to get authorization for running the app (a unique, per UDID signature) and has made the assumption that for whatever reason your access has been revoked. That will normally never happen, it's jus

Possible at a pinch, the flyback I was using right there was about the size of a walnut. You could lay most of it out flat with the voltage multiplier and encase the whole thing in epoxy for (ha) safety. I really wanted to go much higher wi

I tried to do one better with a small flyback transformer. https://gfycat.com/GlaringGrimCondor Turns out there's not enough clearance in USB ports for tens of thousands of volts.

Depends on how lucky you are, there's no specific protection for something like this.

They're not that bad in my experience. I'm at 1476 cycles and still have 87% of my capacity remaining.

I find it particularly hard to keep my head up with this sort of thing too. What you're saying isn't untrue, but I haven't found a particular solution to any of it.

They might have bumped up the capacity for that, and then spun down afterwards not realizing they would get swamped today.
