I'm honestly a bit confused about what your actual point is. Most people would agree that HDCP is hostile to consumers, but what does any of that have to do with USB or for that matter android? It sounds to me your problem is that your

It's not just a continuity tester like the one you linked from amazon though. The Kickstarter page is light on details, but it can at the very least communicate with active cables to determine amperage and data speeds. Add to that a mi

Just to avoid confusion, there is no such thing as a "PD certified" usb-c cable. All usb-c cables, by any version of the standard, have to safely support at least 3 amps at 20V. And for 5 amps they have to contain an active marker

Trivial for a motivated attacker, true. But also do note that you don't need to readout the entire flash, it's enough to be able to extract the hash of the PIN (or cut power before the eprom is updated after an attempt) and that i

The "security" of this device is a joke, just look at how randomness is derived: unsigned int analog1 = analogRead(ANALOGPIN1); RNG.stir((uint8_t *)analog1, sizeof(analog1), sizeof(analog1)*2); unsigned int analog2 = analo

WireGuard is a kernel module, it already uses what the kernel gave it, which is get_random_u32(). Note that this is NOT used for anything crypto related, it's just used in the hashtable code.

Quite frankly, this site's examples are pretty horrible. Case in point, Idiom #46 in C[0] uses strncpy and predictably fails to correctly terminate the buffer. Idiom #55[1] converts a integer to a string with itoa, never bothering to m

5/5, but I don't think this test is very good at capturing the more obscure features of C, they all just deal with the fact that platforms have different datatypes/alignment requirements, except for the last one. I think a be

This can't be right. Granted, I've not been running OpenVPN lately, but with WireGuard I'm saturating the internal USB-ethernet adapter of the pi long before I'm running out of CPU power.

And yet, scdaemon will still hang everytime you suspend on linux[0]. I've written a udev rule to somewhat mitigate this[1], but it's still really annoying that seemingly nobody cares enough to fix this issue. [0] https:/&#x2

How could that possibly be improved? Append-only means no deleting or freeing up space by definition.

Yes, nouveau is of course supported. But nouveau has trouble supporting the newest cards currently, since Nvidia seems to try their best to make their lives hell.

That's exactly what a security post-mortem should look like. - What went wrong - Why did it go wrong - What can be done to ensure this doesn't happen again Everyone makes mistakes once in a while, the key is learning from them.
