I try not to respond to emails with one liners. If it deserves a response, it deserves a complete thought. I hate sending something to someone and getting a "thanks" reply back. I get that you appreciated what I sent you but if yo

If you really don't care about unauthorized access, just write the password in sharpie on the box. I have a bunch of machines hooked up to test equipment that sit on their own network. I just write the username and password on the box

Because their experience (and probably livelihood) rests with iOS apps. No one is buying an iPad hoping that some day they can write kernel patches on it. If you make your money off an ecosystem, you are going to buy hardware for that ecosy

They were created well before the natural units or atomic units were discovered so they are going to based off of arbitrary measurements that were repeatable by scientists of the past. SI is just as arbitrary as imperial but at least it has

My Nexus 6P has pretty much zero waterproof rating but I've dropped it in the sink face up before with the full stream falling right onto the screen. The front speakers are a little quieter but it still works otherwise, I thought for s

Everything on that site is sensational conspiracy theories and hoaxes. "Sailors fused to ship during electro-magnetic invisibility test", "Secret Alien Bases Found on Moon Using Google Earth" That site is trash and isn&#

MIL-STD-810G doesn't really mean anything unless they have test results available. That standard is mostly just a list of lab tests and how to perform them. It could mean anything from the product is designed to comply but never tested

I knew someone that would play Catholic organ music for fun. She'd stream herself at the church she played at after hours. She wasn't Catholic or even Christian but she was good at it and got a gig playing it. She would play class

It seems irresponsible to leak information that could be so damaging to multiple American companies just to prop up a single tech journalist.

Canaries only make sense if the company actually cares about letting their customers know about a possible NSL. They might not be legal as it's a pretty obvious wink wink nudge nudge that they received one. Apple and Amazon are big e

No evidence whatsoever. Just all speculation based on previous targeted malware attacks that are public knowledge.

If the board house has copies of the gerbers, which they should, someone could easily edit those to introduce a spot for the implant. And if they already have all of the drawings, they can just add those empty pads into the design so any in

The number of implants doesn't need to be that great. If you are already tapped into Supermicro's supply chain and ordering system, then you can already figure out when a bulk of servers passing through manufacturing are going out

You only want to slip in as few of these implants as possible to get in. You obviously want to hit as many networks as possible but only for targets that actually make sense. Hitting a DoD network has higher value than hitting the Mormon ch

Tim Cook would have to know. If there is something like a NSL involved, Apple's legal team would have already reviewed it. That same legal team would also be advising Cook on what he publicly says since he is an officer in the company.

I think the article was suggesting that they would just give the customer a new phone and trash/send the broken one out for repairs.

Twitter and Instagram I can understand, there are a lot of people on those services that make a lot of money promoting brands and products. Having an interesting name on there can increase your marketability. Like "@tom" or "

I guess the part to take away from this is that at the time women were not employed in creating illustrations due to the labor involved in cutting the copper plates. Although the article doesn't really offer any other examples of women

The waterproof sealant is just a conformal coating, it glows under a blacklight normally.

All you need to do is reflash the BMC firmware. You can do that over a SPI bus, that only requires three lines (3 SPI lines + Vcc + Vss = 5 pins, just like the part...) You don't even have to rewrite the whole firmware, just patch the

It could just be a sort of beacon to help identify where hardware went after the manufacturing process. If the same company is building the same hardware, the agent can slip in something more nefarious to make sure they target the right com

I never said a nation state couldn't attempt this but just that if you try really hard to lock down your hardware, it becomes very expensive and risky. You may be better off attacking the system in another way other than cracking it op

3D printing has some issues in a vacuum. Normal plastic will outgas and any voids can literally blow a hole in the filament. If you bring the right equipment, you can make lunar concrete with processed lunar rocks as the cement and the dust
