Yeah, I know this is somehow the point. On the other hand it (maybe?) would be more useful if they would just verify that certain online-personas (e.g. github, pgp, blog) are the same person, which you could do. I want to know that liz, is

Couldn't they create a challenge/response type authentication that proofs that liz has the private key for her public key? Liz wants to authenticate. Keybase sends her a challenge, which she encrypts using her private key. Keybase

It depends. If you hack the box, overwrite the CAN-ID (and therefore impersonating other devices in the car) by rewriting the boxes' CAN-Controller-Firmware you can circumvent all ID based security. As long as CAN doesn't implemen

From a security point of view this could become interesting. Regarding how terrible (IT-)security is in CAN Systems a jailbreaked Radio could lead to major annoyances. Good Talk on this topic: http://media.ccc.de/browse&#x2F

The NSA is gonna love this. I think their timing is quite bad. I doubt many non-us companies will start to move a big part of their infrastructure to the cloud of a US company right now. On the other hand for smaller businesses that don&#x2

Next time when I want to explain why HTML/CSS can be a pain, I'll take this example. "Imagine it's 2013 and there is a website that has been online for years, where the greatest hackers and entrepreneurs exchange excitin

Endangering people's lives is quite abstract. If you happen to do IT security and carry documents about hacking cars with you, then in theory you are endangering people's lives. Still probably your goal is to improve security to s

Yes, this had me as well. I think Orwell is spinning in his grave right now. When everything that is meant to change status quo becomes terrorism we will live in a terrible world.

There is an interesting comment [1] from Ellsberg on Snowden as well: [1] http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-07-07/opinions/40427...

Well he was carrying documents meant for a journalist, that where to be published by a legit newspapers. Sounds like being a part in a journalistic process to me. Sure the title maybe a bit edgy, but that it what it comes down to. That is t

Should I change the title? I don't see how it violates any rules? It's not click-baiting either. Unfortunately it's quite a summary of what the article says ...

Depending on what you are planning to do. If you want to store your browser passwords, you should look up services like 1Password. If you want to store your passwords for everything else and don't need automated fill-ins, I would recom

I worked on a concept for this for a while. I ran into the following contradiction I couldn't solve: If the data entry is quick and easy, then I'm not gathering empirical usable data. If I try to gather good data the user will bec

I can remember a time where conspiracy theorists told everybody that the NSA is watching everybody. Crazy, huh? Even if in the case of JFK's assassination conspiracy theories have proven wrong that is not always the case. Think of Wate

Finally it all depends on AntiSec. We have no idea wich 1'000'001 datasets they published (first 1m, last 1m or random). If they have access to all 12m UDIDs + the additional information (Country, Postal code, Addresses) they could at least

I saw Cory's talk at the 28c3 in Berlin. There is a video available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUEvRyemKSg You might agree not on everything but I think it's a great talk to give non-technical people an idea what might happen.

Great Article, but I think it also should mention the Global Scale stuff (D2Plug, DreamPlug, etc.) ( http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-2-globalscale-techn... ) They have an identically layout, are a little bit more expensive but they
