Funny. I've seen talk of making Cloudflare ban thedonald.win (the reddit clone of trump supporters). What's next? Make your own routers? Lay your own cables?

To the people here who are happy about these companies banning Trump, his supporters, and their respective conspiracy theorists: you are nothing but useful idiots. Beware. When it's your turn to be dissatisfied with their unchecked pow

Two meta but interesting things to note: 1) A trained FSB operative completely fell for a convincing enough social engineer, armed with nothing but caller-id spoofing software. Even though he was extremely apprehensive in the beginning of t

When HackingTeam was exposed, no one was asking to sanction Italy. Hating on Israel specifically is a very cool and woke thing to do. Has been for decades.

There is no "official" way for you to download it. IIRC it is stored in your Google Drive under an API key that is dedicated to whatsapp (in some kind of per-app storage). I don't really know much about Google Drive API. Howe

Maybe the thief can just tear out Tesla's backdoor cellular modem out of the car? Or do we already live in a world where cars don't work without internet access?

The key is to use your own domain for email. The rest doesn't matter as much. Email is not secure, no matter what service you use. It is transferred in plain text between providers.

Annoys me to end that people see this as security. The only security this provides is financial security for Apple and whoever pays them for using the DRM on this thing.

And the real meaning of this for actual people: 1) DRM on these machines is dead (yay). 2) "Anti-theft" features, which are really there just as an excuse to put a dedicated DRM chip into your box, are dead. 3) Physical access to

I reacted the same initially, yet watched it on a whim. The answer is sort of yes, in the sense that they provide you with more succinct explanations and analogies. This is useful if you want to explain this stuff to other people (who are n

Just keep in mind that it's very heavy. Very. Like your building's construction code may not allow that much weight per floor area. Shipping or mooving it around would be similarly "fun".

So Nasrallah forgets about 2750 tons of fertilizer in the middle of Beirut. I suggest you folks start thinking about what kind of shit he's hiding under your feet that he doesn't forget about.

From experience, I'll suggest all serious security researchers to never, ever, sign any agreement with the company whose products they are researching. This particular case is also outrageous for other reasons: 1) They are only doing t

I wish that were true, but it isn't. In some places, facebook has a monopoly on all human communication. For instance, in my country, if you're not on whatsapp you're effectively unreachable.

The article does not suggest that devices can be attacked from the internet. The threat is VLAN hopping or lateral movement. That illustration is oversimplified.
