Yup, all you need is a brief window to dump the malware on another box. Finding a malicious device is much harder if it's intermittent.

That's a bit stuffy. I'd be honored to have Banksy paint my stuff without permission.

I have no particular opinion about this. However, in the context of an article that relies heavily on unnamed sources, it's worth pointing out that the Washington Examiner is a conservative tabloid founded in 2005 by Philip Anschutz.[

This is quite the conundrum -- isn't it? -- as it's not just "those companies" named in the Snowden documents. There was nothing particularly unique about them that permitted them to be corrupted and compromised other t

It's a great observation, but I think the cause runs a bit deeper than the author attempts in this short piece. The issue is that academia has grown a lot over the past several decades [1]. Federal funding has approximately doubled in

This is a bit of a naive statement in light of the other information we have about the scope of collection of raw "SIGINT," as well as the errors that have been admitted to the FISC in targeted collection. And you're also se

This type of thinking is poisonous to the industry and to all industries.

Great to hear. Is someone making compatible hardware/software that interoperates?

Before they radically changed direction and were acquired by Cisco, Meraki tried to target community meshes in SF and beforehand as Roofnet at MIT. They handed out/sold a lot of mesh APs. I wonder what happened to the boxes.

No, this will just implement the DIAL protocol, but the app will allow hooks for other developers to build whatever they like. My point was that there are open solutions to implement a DIAL compliant dongle, if indeed it turns out that Goog

You're doing good work. Don't be discouraged. You clearly have some talent, and you can do positive good with it. Large companies are wedded to their rules, terms, and systems. As you work more on these sort of things, the pro

As another early adopter, I have to say that it's disappointing how much the company is relying on "the community" to generate their business model for them, rather than properly develop the software themselves.
