Just one way I can think of would be to dump the contents of ROM chip, bruteforcing the encryption key by checking all possible PINs and comparing the decrypted data against some known plaintext that would be present on all iOS devices. (th

I like this solution the most. Some questions on @wacnt (like this one) can't be answered because Wolfram Alpha's NLP fails to recognize the algorithm implicit in the question, but if it was able to translate the problem statement

Me too. I actually scrolled back and forth a couple of times thinking I missed something (I only skimmed the text).

You wouldn't have to implement sha1(), I bet it's already there. It'd be the same as calling strcmp; the difficulty is hiding the hash (although it probably wouldn't be the only "magic number" in their code), b

I agree that functionality and simplicity is very important, but having the password in plaintext is just sloppy. LukaAI suggested using a hashed password. Surely that would have been much better at containing the fallout.

That's what I thought as well, but it might have been worth the effort to obfuscate it. I mean, they must've known it was going to leak sooner or later, leaving a lot of vulnerable boxes behind.

by jdiez17 11y ago
It was a matter of time before it leaked. If you're going to put a back door in, at least make sure only you can use it (Nobody But Us). Why didn't they use a keypair?

If you add `--dns` to the command line it will proxy DNS queries as well.

Looks like it does hook select: https://github.com/pc/tsocks/blob/master/tsocks.c#L343 . However, it doesn't hook epoll, which is The Right Way to do operations on any number of sockets nowadays.

Control over a nonstandard port on a server doesn't necessarily mean that you control the web server on :80 and :443 of that host. For example, a nonprivileged user can listen on :8443 and get a cert.

It's not just boilerplate code. It's choosing your build system, your hot-reload plugin, whether you want to use jsx or something else, whether you want isomorphic rendering (so that the server will render the initial state of the

It's open source, so feel free to port it to Python 3.

by jdiez17 11y ago
I'm not sure if your comment is sarcastic or not, but it actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Working on a well defined, self-contained task in an open source project can be very rewarding in itself.

namedtuples are supposedly more space-efficient. For one, you don't have to store the keys every time.

This is where autopilot (and self-driving car technology in general) really shines: faster-than-human reaction time. The driver didn't have enough time to even honk, let alone stop the car.

I just had exactly the same experience. I even went to Platform->Documentation and now I'm even more confused. A page describing what exactly the platform is would go a long way.
