yes it can. zero-knowledge encryption is already a thing.

Apparently the iPhone is. pgp encryption is another one. I'd suggest brushing up on basic security before saying things like that.

Why not?

By anyone that I don't authorize. Sure, that could be my partner, coworker, any government authority, etc.

> What information are they getting from you?

Are you serious? If you don't even understand that threat model, then again, I'd suggest looking in basic security models.

> you are better defended with 2auth gmail

2auth gmail is orthogonal to the issue. That's an security method. Currently Google does that but still can grant access to anyone they want. That's a problem that 2auth doesn't address.

Why not? Why remove a legitimate security issue from the discussion?

I have no idea how many have been caught, once again, that's orthogonal to the issue. How many examples doesn't matter. It's that they do have access and can do it whenever they want.

That's a completely illogical argument. "We shouldn't ensure privacy/security because other things in life fail more often" makes no sense.
Thunderbolt has DMA and it's offered over USB-C so... kind of by proxy. It's not clear to me if a USB-C device doesn't support Thunderbolt (i.e. it only does the USB 3.1 part) if it also is clear of this potential issue.

"This article has zero information, but a picture and name of the accused man. This modern kind of witch hunt is disgusting. It also seems to be that the bar for calling something sexual harassement is constantly lowered and results in a poisoned atmosphere where any playful transgression between genders is rendered impossible."

The article clearly links to the original report, which outlines the accusations in great detail.

The bar for calling something sexual harassment is NOT constantly lowered but incidents are thankfully being highlighted more and more, which should make more would be perps think twice. The rules of engagement in professional settings are clear, especially in regards to a person in position of power vs subordinate and sexual attention has no place there. A meeting about fundraising for a company should center discussions on just that. The suggestion that anyone's discomfort at such harassment should be deprioritized to allow for "playful transgression between genders" is asinine.
Ah, but the modern AIM-9X is not so modern anymore. AI will be able to decrease false tracking.
It has the same problems for any man in power, it's not a matter of "doing your job well". You basically have to record your office at all times to be safe from accusations of this sort.

Well, that is assuming you're innocent of anything that could be classed as improper, which is an ever growing class of activities.

I think that in this case, the accused is guilty of something, but it's not yet clear whether it was quite illegal. Hence a trial probably. His personal statements corroborate this.

I tend to record most conversations I have in a professional setting these days. I would record everything if I were managing people. It also helps as a general memory aid, and if anyone ever gets upset with me and decides to sling some mud, I'll have it all on file.

It's just spoofing caller ID. Caller ID has no verification or security around it, other than what a provider might optionally choose to put in place.

Here's how to do it with the open source asterisk pbx: http://allanfeid.com/content/caller-id-spoofing-w-asterisk

Or, just find a cheap VoIP provider that doesn't verify control of a number before allowing it to be used as CID. Voip.ms lets you spoof CID right from their web based config: https://wiki.voip.ms/article/Caller_ID

The legit use cases are where you spoof a different number that's still your number. Like your landline presenting your cell number. Or a business presenting the main number for all phones.

Yeah, I remember this time being strange. I had bought a good bit of Firewire equipment for my Cameras and even got a PCI-E card for my PC. It just seemed to vanish without a trace. I still have those cables and accessories somewhere.
I'm not sure why you're worried about our military/industrial complex and informatics capabilities. I say this as an American: We're increasingly not a global power.

1. Our drone program is garbage, cheap chinese factories are giving $200-1000 solutions that are better than our $60000 solutions (edit: cost of explosives not included, but for lower yields it's way cheaper). Same for our logistics, it's dated and the civilian market has better for 1/100th the cost.

2. Our opsec is broken. Whoever's behind these attacks on the US's intelligence community is winning. For example, we know for a fact that Russia has been using a very similar tool outside embassies, but the fact that we know that is because actors has so much to gain by dumping it into the public sphere, politically. The US increasingly cannot "keep a secret".

3. Our industrial capabilities are falling behind. America's efforts of pursuing ultimate cost efficiency have ultimately outsourced the majority of the US's modern manufacturing capacity. This means at a national level we're at a demonstrably disadvantage to nations with much more of a connection to their private sector, with the classic example being China.

Worrying about America's military-industrial complex is reasonable if you're near a naval deployment because America still has an impressive supply of very powerful explosives. But beyond that... we're sort of getting our asses kicked and our government appears to be rapidly destabilizing. You can suggest this is from outside influence, and I think there's strong reason to believe that there is an ongoing attack. But it can't explain the entire phenomenon.

So I'm not sure what you're afraid of from us. Nothing in the WL page should be surprising. We've seen similar tools disclosed earlier this year. These tools are more sophisticated versions of attacks that have been ongoing for, gosh... I had to write a less awesome version of this tool as a demonstration I was ready to move up in rank in a security challenge forum, it was so easy. It's harder now, for sure, but...
>It's always been the dodgiest landings that "accidentally" lose video coverage for the longest.

Maybe you haven't seen some of the earlier ones that had RUD. Take this[1] one for instance from the SpaceX channel. Looks like they stopped using helicopters to stream the landing. Makes sense, because once you have all the kinks worked out, you no longer need redundant instrumentation.

USB-C is just a connector. Some of the devices using that connector only support USB 2.0 signaling over that connector, so USB-C does not imply complete superiority over FireWire.
I'm an Australian, originally here on E3, then H1-B, now green card. I got stuck on just such a trip, to Barcelona. The local US embassy called the wrong number to notify me of my updated passport (which was delivered to a post office only a couple of blocks away, which I wouldn't find out for weeks), and never tried again.

I was stuck for a month, with no possible way of getting back to the US. It's a truly sickening, horrifying feeling, that the only solution is to blow up your life and go back where you came from.

I was extremely lucky that my employers lawyers cajoled them into communication before my money completely ran out.

It's not about losing the ability to adapt. Older people are more expensive because they're more experienced. Businesses would rather skimp on quality. I say this as a 22yo.
One major thing not mentioned is that apprently not everyone bothered implementing FireWire the same. I never learned the technical reason, but if you bought certain digital audio recording interfaces circa 2007, you learned in the fine print/after you called customer service that it only worked with TI FireWire ports . These were the ones used on Macs at this point, I had a dell laptop which used a cheaper manufacturer so (perhaps combined with the fact that my recording interface itself was not a high end one and maybe cut some corners on its end too) the audio recording quality was staticy and uneven. I ended up having to return it and get a lower-bandwidth, noticeably higher latency USB powered one because at least USB ports were consistent.

I was always curious if some manufacturers were not implementing the full spec here (maybe because by this time according to the article FireWire was already on its last legs), or if this was due to flaws in the spec that left certain things optional or something and that ruined interoperability.
> It's always been the dodgiest landings that "accidentally" lose video coverage for the longest.

A dodgy SpaceX landing means a) ship and b) three engine burn.

The ship feeds have always been sensitive to vibration - they've cut out every single time - and three engines makes significantly more vibration.

Yes and then the TMS34020 came out which had a trapezoid fill instruction. Essentially you would partition your polygon into trapezoids; For each trapezoid you would load the appropriate registers ... the slopes of the edges used 16.16 fixed point numbers. I remember how much you could do with fixed point arithmetic.. very few programmers even know how program using fixed point anymore. A very useful lost art.

There was also a built in Bressenhsm line drawing instruction.

Then there was the TMS34082 floating point coprocessor. I essentially wrote a primitive OpenGL'ish pipeline API. That was fun.

Wow... I really wish a general purpose processor like this made it into the PC. The best stuff doesn't always win in the marketplace.
The same thing, combined with daredevil pilots (or in this instance, navigator), enabled the Bismarck sinking.

Basically the Bismarck AA guns either had problem tracking them, or the ammo didn't do much.

And the torpedo that hit the Bismarck rudder was fired in part by the plane's navigator hanging over the side of the aircraft, and telling the pilot when to release to avoid the waves.
It is caused by the 6 second billing.
Sure. But "plenty" is not equivalent to "so cheap and so powerful that a well-funded state actor would automatically design every targeted exploit package to be cross-platform." At least this particular case suggests that is probably not the case.

Keep in mind from the article that the user must browse the files in the GUI for the exploit to work. I doubt Windows and the set of the most commonly used Linux GUI file browsers all have "plenty" of 0 days to exploit for this same purpose. Or, if they do, it's going to cost substantially more money to find them, test them, and package them up.

On an unrelated note, I agree-- the Linux kernel probably has plenty of 0 days to exploit.
That requires solving the 'nothing at stake' problem. I recall reading some proposed solutions, but they were complicated.

A very fair point. And I should have been clearer: it's not that there needs to be 12k people in one room all at once for an entire week. But I do think that there needs to be 12k people in the same room for one hour. Renting a stadium for an afternoon is very easily done these days.

This just can't be an email saying "Hey everyone, here's our culture rules now! Now get back to work!". Those get ignored. It has to be something that can't be skipped, can't be ignore, can't be forgotten.
Say you store your private PGP-key on a air-gapped computer. When receiving a sensitive document you put in on a USB-drive, enter it to the air-gapped machine and then physically destroy the USB-drive. The air-gapped machine then directly presents the decryption on a monitor.

There definitely exist scenarios where the air-gapped machine to not have to both communicate out and in, but where only in is required.
There is a world of difference between physical and informational security, so it is an improper analogy.

First, it is possible to perfectly defend (and conversely, a vulnerability means one is entirely vulnerable. Don't confuse mitigations that affect the probability of being vulnerable with actually being vulnerable. There is no middle ground as to whether something is secure or not, it is a binary proposition!)

Second, attacks are practically free and untraceable. And all the status-quo anonymity-destroying attempts cannot actually change this, as making "network identity" trusted would mean changing every system's attack surface into every other system - eg break a single person's credit card and use Starbucks wifi.
I knew it wouldn't be long before someone dismissed it as programmer error. But that's the whole promise of static typing — preventing programmer errors from causing runtime crashes. In this case, static typing failed at its task.
What protocols are commonly implemented by Intel host chipsets which support the USB-C connector, e.g. on a 2017 laptop?
I guess I mean RISC in the sense that it had a small set of orthogonal instructions, a large set if general purpose registers, and non-move instructions required operands to be in registers. Very simple and clean model from the programmers perspective.
I think it is information if it can not be conveyed. The other day I was sitting at a table and reading, and my attention happened to be drawn to the table top as I tried to think of the name for its color, but I was momentarily stumped. I couldn't think of a name for the color, as it wasn't a primary color but was kind of a mix of colors.

I spent a few seconds in this state, where I was clearly aware of the color and consciously thinking of it, and was in no sense puzzled by the color itself but only lacking a name for it. Then I decided it was a mix of colors that was kind of blue-green. To me it seems the pre-linguistic, conscious awareness that I had of the color of the table was information that I had, but information that I could at least momentarily not communicate.

What, exactly, do you think is a reusable rocket? You can't just land it, refuel, attach it to a second stage, and fire it up again. Everything has to be retested and tons of stuff replaced because the forces during launch, let alone reentry, are extreme. Until they have lots of data on failure modes in the reusable stage, they are probably ultraconservative with what parts they replace so I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of reuse is ~40-50% of the cost of a new one (on mobile so I'm too lazy to look up spaceX's official numbers).

> its questionable if companies can be held liable for security faults in extreme cases like voting machines, airplane systems, and medical devices

> We need to get to a point where people in power positions are held responsible

You're contradicting yourself. If it's possible to hold people in power responsible for what a single agency under them does (not even requiring their knowledge!), then it's certainly possible to hold them responsible for approving public use of insecure voting machines! (especially at a more local political level)

And if it's not possible to hold people in power responsible (which is a reasonable assumption), then the philosophy of distributed defense becomes even more important!

I don't really disagree but the argument in the piece isn't so much around creating quality digital voice--which is its own problem. But around "understanding" verbal requests in a broad context.
SES said the insurance of SES-10 cost the same as on a never flown booster. The Falcon 9 (all versions) is currently 33.5/36, and as long as SpaceX never repeat the same cause for the loss of payload, the insurers don't mind flight proven boosters.

Ariane is already not competitive at the moment, and the reliable is not that different. Look at the insurance premium and its clear that the estimated reliability is not that large. They have massively exhilarated Ariane 6 because they know they simply can not compete with the Ariane 5.

Also Ariane is only a viable competitor because they don't need to compete on cost. If Arianespace had to finance the Ariane 6 by themselves they would not be close to competing with SpaceX.
