Might be time to reconsider. Canon are (supposedly) not planning any further flagship DSLRs and I see little wrong with modifying your own property. Independent of that: how dangerous is ML dev to the cameras themselves (in terms of brick p

I doubt that will happen for a tool with an arbitrary usecase of assisting in research however some projects related to reverse-engineering have been censored under the DMCA takedown regime.

A reassuring outcome. However what are the realistic implications of this ruling for potential future cases? Similarly, How is challenging DMCA 1201 going?

Considering iOS devices are locked down to hell and back and achieving reboot persistence is extremely difficult, how hard is it to extract a sample of a malware payload in memory for purpose of forensics?

This is all very interesting. Makes one wonder about the reliability of contingency plans by WL in case of indefinite absence of Assange.

Howdy stranger! With the debatable demise of organic community platforms and the rise of curated social-media recommendation by algorithms it is always nice to facilitate interaction between two vaguely-human entities. :-) Take care!

Think some of the negativity about Copilot may be the perception that if an individual or small startup attempted training an ML model from public source-code and commercialised a service from it they would be drowning in legal issues from

If you want a potential alternative to the security research device from Apple look into Corellium[1] - startup that emulates iOS on ARM64 server hardware, sued by Apple for copyright claims and survived. It is a paid product (eg $x/hr

Certainly glad these vulnerabilities were disclosed and patched without exploitation by malicious entities. However. Does anyone else feel uneasy about Matrix end-to-end encryption and how some people justify its provenance by asserting it

I am not entirely pessimistic towards the landscape of device level exploits in particular when low-level hardware glitching attacks seem to be the next research frontier as reliable persistent software exploits get harder and harder. Worth

Am I forgetting something or does merely changing the IMSI while doing nothing about IMEI just lead to a security theatre mentality when fake BTS can still track the device by the IMEI?

While this incident is certainly concerning a bigger question is which registrars can properly ward off attempts at social-engineering and other account access fraud and not sweep it under the rug. Even seemingly well intentioned companies

Hope at some point we can have un-crippled firmware for the 1D(X) series of cameras. Magic Lantern developers are acting like scared cats because allegedly someone at Canon said 'No'[1] and no one questioned it. In theory developi
