So apparently, Elon's twitter account is seen as source of official news about Tesla by investors [0]. Given that, it is reasonable for SEC to take this position. But on a bigger scheme, it is sad to see this happening while "puff

Everyone has an ISP – even the VPN and VPS providers and the websites you visit – have ISPs. Most governments regulate their ISPs to monitor and censor. To comply with these regulations, ISPs deploy appliance/boxes that can do packet i

I'm curious to know why one has to fork Android instead of fixing it to provide privacy out of the box? AOSP is a respectable open-source project, yes? If patches were submitted to make google tracking optional and improve privacy for

So put them in a cohort and treat them differently than the rest of the users? Personalised key exchange? Possibilites are endless. If you don't trust the closed source operator here, then that end to end encryption should mean nothing

Even if you have a single server to run a bunch of services (web, mail, ssh, file server etc), best way to raise the security bar quickly is to isolate these services from one another. Use one of the modern virtualmachine/container tec

Since this guide started with datacenter and hardware security, it is important to discuss the merits of having a secure enclave (hardware security module) on each server to hold the security keys. Securing the chain of trust is a critical

Secure room means there's no way for anyone (big or small) to sneak into the room undetected. Hence, having false ceiling/floor and ducts need to be secured - usually the fire/aircon zones are also separated and isolated. I

The IP you normally would have communicated with is among the hijacked IPs, then you have exposure. The data you send to such IP is ending up in the hijacker's hands. As an end user, your only defense is to use end-to-end authenticated

Wireguard packets on port 443 looks like malformed QUIC packets. Any firewall that is doing protocol inspection (for L7 policy enforcement) would typically be configured to drop malformed packets. Wireguard would get blocked by such firewal
