You wouldn't need to do much more than put a pretty front-end on (free|open)BSD to have a decent consumer router. You can even do this with commodity hardware: http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/

Or, in some regions and in colloquial conversation with a group of male friends, "dudes".

Interestingly enough, people tend to think that "guys" as referring to a group is gender-neutral: http://jvns.ca/blog/2013/12/27/guys-guys-guys/ . disclaimer: this is probably skewed by th

SDRs are no longer that expensive - even an Ettus or BladeRF device is within the range of the average middle-class engineer - and can be programmed completely in software to act as a cellular baseband device.

Adding `echo echo >> ~/.bashrc` to somebody's bashrc. This will make the terminal scroll more and more as bash sessions are started. However, people get used to this since it happens gradually, and eventually will go nuts tr

Yes, I agree. When I wrote the parent comment I was thinking more about implementation detail correctness: memory safety, protocol implementation correctness, etc. Like you said, Tor has architectural issues. Tor would be fine if it were lo

I'm waiting for someone to build an implementation of Tor in a proof-verifiable language. That would be pretty cool, since anyone could prove source correctness automatically.

Drywall impedes RF signals much less than stone .

Thanks for contributing to my massive backlog of "talks I really want to watch but don't have time to" :)

Really, really freaky. Especially all the copy about how "you can trust us" .

I don't think it is.

Oops, I meant ~80MSLOC for OS X.

> The monolithic Linux kernel is just too big. What is it now, 20,000,000 lines? There's no hope of debugging that. It shows. The Linux kernel is about 20MSLOC. The Windows kernel is about 50MSLOC. IIRC, OS X used to be ~80KSLOC. Pr

Two different vendors' CPUs running in lockstep won't have their buses equal each other anyway, due to differences in implementation. Even more so, you have to have different code for a Allwinner vs an Intel ARM CPU, since they

Is there currently any POC for a live KASUMI attack on 3G using SDRs?

Just use a fuzzy finder a lot and it's pretty easy.

But it can be done well. I think the author simply isn't very good at using the MVC pattern properly, which leads them to dislike it.

Yes, it is; I'm not sure what comparison 'dustingetz was trying to make.

I sometimes just use subl or emacs as my editor and then use gradle and adb right from the command line. If you wanted to get fancy, you could even write a little script that lets you rebuild on change.

I feel like the author is talking about how bad MVC is without fully understanding what MVC is .

Didn't know that! Do they switch between transmitting and receiving constantly to keep up a 2-way data stream?

HackRF is only half-duplex though, so I'm not sure you actually can.

I had forgotten that we have a laser cutter at the hackerspace! The minimum kerf on it is pretty bad though, so I bet it wouldn't work. After reading the pattern, it seems to be more than just holes, though, so it's probably a bit

This is pretty amazing, like 'davnicwil said. Personally though, the coolest thing about this is how easy it is to make if you have some way to make the mask. It uses a Raspberry Pi Camera Module[1], which is $30, with no modifications

It is good. I had a dated copy, but a lot of what it talked about was still applicable to learning how to implement a basic programming language.

Eh, it works and we care way more about that. Anyhow, we can always switch the Sphinx theme, and your comment sounds more like a complaint about Sphinx in general (which I don't happen to agree with, but whatever).

Webserver config modification has indeed taken an immense amount of programmer effort. It's actually pretty magical when it works well, and it's suprisingly robust, but it's still filled with horrible edge cases everywhere.

That's exactly why we designed the client that way - we wanted to make it easier for people who have no idea how to add certs to encrypt their server.
