How do you know there was no logging? Linux distros log by default, as does elasticsearch. Most networking setups also keep some sort of BW usage logs. Unless you have some insider knowledge it sounds like you’re full of shit. If you’re goi

Linux itself gives you decent data from procfs (see /sbin/ifconfig, shows you data transfer in/out per adapter), you can just compare data transfer from the server to any of the boxes that are supposed to connected to. I can’

Looks like they don’t use TLS at all by default, just MTProto on port 443 or MTProto over HTTP. Comms to the telegram servers are always encrypted with MTProto, but tunneling MTProto over TLS would make any attacks on MTProto much harder (p

Surely they’d still see any exfiltration in their bandwidth graphs. And anyways, ES spits out a lot of logs by default.

According to this story MBS is an operative. If heads of state decide to become operatives, perhaps they should lose any protections that might normally be afforded to them.

You do have a point here, but it doesn’t hold up when the DOJ has such an extensive history of going after other state sponsored hacking.

I can confidently state that the public onion IRCs are not what you want. The people looking for quality chats have been driven away by the crazies.

For a very long time there was no TLS to Telegram servers, only their own MTProto. I think they introduced TLS wrapping at some point as an anti-censorship measure, not sure if that’s even deployed in all markets. E: Well, I took a look at

Not really, Dubai blocks VOIP because phone carriers lobbied for that. This has the added benefit of forcing people to make insecure, easy to intercept, regular phone calls.

You’re full of shit. There’s nothing theoretical about that vulnerability (almost certainly a deliberately planted backdoor), it allows the Telegram servers to selectively MITM private chats. > there has been no successful implementation

I don’t think it’s exactly unfair to describe the Aisin X1 as a “special BMW” :) It’s definitely a weird exception, and the kind of car you’d expect to suck. Sort of like the Mercedes CLA.

It should be noted that it’s essentially never the people who find bugs arguing for “responsible disclosure”. It sure is easy to tell others what to do with their work product when you have zero stake in the game. There exists a really ea

Which iDrive version does your car have? The only notable software bug I’ve encountered on my G12 with the current gen NBT EVO (101172.3.214, 2017-04, Q18491l) is that carplay sometimes fails to connect until I restart the infotainment. I’v
