This is cool, do you have any recommended blog posts on the end-to-end process? I’d love to build a movement but would like to gauge the effort/cost/time involved

I’d just show up with a large cell jammer on the roof of my logging truck. Probably cheaper than continuously modifying the sound of trucks and chainsaws? Until of course they’re using decent newer phones that can do edge inference

You made a bold claim; do you have an ounce of evidence to back it up?

Algo solves this: spin up your own. Heck, be neighbourly and share yours with a few friends. Gives you coverage of other traffic too. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo

I don’t think there was any exploit. My understanding is that a third-party app asked for access, and people gave consent, and CA mined data. I’m the last person you’d see defending FB, but this just seems like the same thing everyone has b

Yeah that’s a good question. Reading between the lines of that article, I’d guess they’re worried about the damage caused by people taking regular folks money, which would surely exclude blockchain consultancies. That’s based on a giant ass

I’d highly recommend the IceStick for $21 - not only do you get an FPGA but it has an ft2232, so you have a serial adapter and basic JTAG adapter for free! I’d keep one on my keychain if I could (it’s a tad too large).

The difference is that a human will know it’s been tampered with and lower their confidence: the attacks against NNs make it think with 98% certainty it’s a 60mph sign, not a stop sign. Furthermore, if a human is monitoring the system, a sm

Two points: - you suggest that software is easy and logical, in that you can triage, locate, and patch the buffer overflow. But in any sufficiently large codebase, there are simply near-unlimited more bugs to find: hence all the memory miti

This is interesting, and people here seem to agree. Any research or anything I can read that gives more info/backs up your claim? I don’t doubt your claim and I’m sure it happens to a degree, but I also believe that 18 year olds are ca

Yeah that’s a great way to phrase it. I always got frustrated with counter-offers upon resignation, as it’s the most vivid “yeah we could definitely have paid you this because you’re worth it, but only if we know you’re really mad”
