Oh yeah, Bitcoin/Tor gateway is how they're doing it. But I'm not seeing any sort of botnet functionality at least in WanaCry. Or worse yet, I can see a daemon sitting around, snarfing juicy details and exfiltration. Along wi

It doesn't matter that much, honestly. I only do root for administration tasks. Filesystem stuff, hardware, server config. All the goodies are in my homedir. Exfiltration is easy as that. Running bad binaries is easy as running under m

Oh no. The forced updates were the 'gift' for running Windows 10. Although I would say this is also certainly a part of it. I also have more than a few stories of people hiring me precisely due to a hijacked OS install of Win10, a

I'm not giving any assessment of said patent. It appears to be bullshit from other commentors here. I am approaching this as, "You had better be rich, and prepared to throw 500K at lawyers to defend or attack a patent lawsuit. And

It's only a bullshit patent if you have pockets deep enough to take them to court over a patent issue. And, the patent holder is considered "Right" until otherwise proved.

No. Not even that. A fingerprint just directly implies presence. And it doesn't even have to be intentional presence either. A handscan I could see being a login. Because your not going to easily lift that as a fingerprint partial.

That's my point. Anybody can shove in gigs of data, clean it up some, provide easily digestible samples, make a whole lot of parameters (or let the system decide), and scrape the data out. How is it working? What criteria does it work
