mats: fwiw
i use a smartphone too, the point being rammed here is that you don't really have an expectation of security.
justJanne: And
I'd like to dump the firmware, but that would violate copyright.
justJanne: The ISP
I'm using was started by a few people from the CCC, so from that side not too high of a risk.
mats:
i can dump it, can you?
justJanne: BingoBoingo: Yes — remember,
I use no Google services, and modified half of the apps on my phone myself.
justJanne:
I can do that with Thunderbird, K9 and GnuPG.
decimation: btcg: heh sucks
I'm not sure if you can unregister
btcg:
i use their webmail mostly
danielpbarron: >> My aim is to fight mass surveillance.
I write code to fight for our human right to privacy.
I want to create a cloud service which is so easy to use and so secure that it locks out all the spies. We really deserve it. << lol
btcg: sorry, can
i reset my key
midnightmagic: -- which directly resulted in the erroneous and
I would say, outright lying in the Aurora analyses. None of the conjecture that the public could see (because that's what the fuck it was) needed to ever be tested or 'pay rent' in terms of accuracy.
btcg:
i didn't see anything
btcg: do
i need to auth with assbot for voice perm?
midnightmagic:
I personally watched the responses internal to some of the companies involved and observed the evolution of the document they presented to the public. The people on whose opinions some of those documents were based were bullshit artists, borderline pathological, of the worst order.
mircea_popescu: yeah. if
i don't happen to know someone willing to vouch, you can have credentials coming out of your ears,
i just see "idiot" in thick font. which is basically wot-ness.
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah, in fact
I suspect "the lady doth protest too much"
mircea_popescu: decimation honestly,
i suspect the guy complaining on trilema was either trying to stir up shit or else working on meanwhile inacurate history. seems the ddos guy is gone.
justJanne: decimation:
I'm on phone right now, but as the latency didn't go up, doesn't seem so. Or at least nothing noticeable.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to quote myself, "
I will write up an article addressing this particular set of bullshit tomorrow.
I promise it will be good. Engage bated breath."
decimation: "
I don't really know, but
I talked to Nadia Heninger about it and she mentioned that they were probably created by some email software only used in Germany. "
williamdunne: ich habe eine gross hose schlange is about all
I remember from three years of German lessons
williamdunne: justJanne:
I'm pretty sure a 55 yo Pittsburgh steel mill worker would have the connections to get one of those there fancy emails
justJanne:
I am registered with assbot, but no one levelled me up yet ;P
mircea_popescu: that totally kills the whole thing.
i bet you're not even from cali.
justJanne: but yeah,
I was kinda surprised, would have assumed they’d put the control for the botnet on a different system
justJanne: assumed as much, but
I have no experience with them yet, and was surprised seeing one in the wild
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2015 01:32:50; asciilifeform: svetlana:
i got a massive packet dump, and so has kakobrekla
assbot: Logged on 08-12-2014 17:59:30; asciilifeform: incidentally, if anyone bothered to read the packet dump
i posted a while ago, they should know that the ddos bot uses misconfigured consumer routers (upnp reflection)
justJanne: Sometimes when
I get DDoSd
I run nmap against the attacking servers, one time
I found a small IRC server with only one channel, in which were 256 clients all with just a number as name, and one other client sending specific commands every few minutes
☟︎ BingoBoingo: justJanne:
I dunno what nick it uses. Never much cared to try identifying it.
justJanne:
I have null-routed NTP and everything anyway
justJanne: (
I have a bouncer on my server with 1Gbps connection, so
I rarely notice DDoS at all)
justJanne:
I got some traffic on my system from 159.118.187.45 accessing my server via HTTPS and sending a few thousand GET requests, but nothing really devastating
danielpbarron:
i heard that it just targets the user who most recently joined, and especially if it is a new hostmask
justJanne:
I mean,
I see some traffic, but it’s minimal.
justJanne: Nah,
I was just reading on the RSA factorization article where someone claimed this channel would still DDoS everyone who joins. Sadly
I can’t see any of that (was hoping to see if it actually is true xD)
mats: decimation:
i'm just happy to find a fun action movie that passes the Bechdel test
mats:
i drank something like 6-7 litres of water that day... missouri is hot as fuck during the summer
mats:
i spent the whole day (0900-1600) with some other trainees cutting grass at battalion hq because one of the nubs in my squad saved his granola bar from the mess hall and put it in his locker where it was discovered
pete_dushenski: you call that grass ?
i trim more manbush than that on a monthly basis.
pete_dushenski:
i wrote for the newspaper, wrote mad magazine-esque fake nooz
decimation:
I got screwed of out learn german from my german heritage too
pete_dushenski:
i've seen most of bc previously, just hadn't been to vic in a while.
pete_dushenski: so shooting themselves in the foot is par for the course,
i guess.
decimation: but
I imagine that they could sell on the internet for $$
decimation:
I suppose they figure enough derps would come and go on foot
decimation: heh.
I guess
I can see why a pawn shop wouldn't bother with shipping
pete_dushenski:
i guess there's enough local demand in this retirement town that they don't have to try.
decimation: pete_dushenski: surprising.
I thought those kinds of tourist shops specialized in shipping
pete_dushenski:
i didn't want one that bad when
i woke up, just saw the right one at the right price and wanted it.
pete_dushenski: or w/e, mebbe my privilege knows no bounds. hey,
i'm not the one losing business.
pete_dushenski: wtf my privilege nothing.
i'm getting on a plane tmrw morning and it's not so much to ask to have a seller of goods to crate a fucking table for transport.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes
i've used fedex freight before, they'll come pick up the package from wherever and deliver it wherever.
pete_dushenski: so
i walk into a shop on the edge of chinatown and find a beautiful mid-century modern walnut table
pete_dushenski: williamdunne
i really have nfi what the first trade was. if you say it's weed, we'll go with that, but that doesn't mean that first=best
☟︎ williamdunne: Read the article, and
I still don't see how that makes it bad for the last mile
☟︎ williamdunne:
I'm pretty sure the internet was invented for two purposes, selling drugs and pretending to know stuff you don't
pete_dushenski: mxtm aha. sounds like anglocization but what do
i know.
decimation:
I don't think it ever gets too hot there?
decimation: yeah
I've been through there,
I wouldn't mind going back
DreadKnight: anyway,
I partnered up with a coder this year, will see how that goes in the long run
DreadKnight: ben_vulpes, yeah,
I'm aware, that's why it's perfectly fine to pay people to work on open source and it's why
I need some funding or get better at coding
ben_vulpes:
i'm just trying to point out why you're having problems retaining horsepower is all
ben_vulpes: (
i mean, everyone does, right? for every thing that we do.)
decimation:
I thought ninjashogun was one of the h-n mods?
ben_vulpes: DreadKnight:
i thought the thing was supposed to make money?
DreadKnight: ben_vulpes, didn't coded the gameplay, it's a bit above my skill level; anyway, even if
I did 100% of the thing, would still need funding
trinque: and
I hear there's not one cat on the premises
trinque: ben_vulpes: oh don't misunderstand,
I am a big fan of the 5-way lumbar support
Humean: woah neat
i feel special
ben_vulpes: DreadKnight: whaddaya need the funding for?
i thought you wrote the thing yourself.
mircea_popescu:
i'm looking forward to all the gavin lectures about the perils of larger blocksizes. also at stanford.
DreadKnight: if
I secure a bit of cash, things will run smoothly
ben_vulpes: lol yeah that's indeed the conclusion
i came to
ben_vulpes:
i'm getting the impression with gentoo that
i should copy the dieharder source into mydiehardfork overlay and then emerge mydiehard fork - how wrong is this?
mircea_popescu: other than because some she-geeks are cute and people try to hit on them with "hy babyy
i r maek distro" ?
ben_vulpes: <gabriel_laddel>
I like walking and that is about it as far as exercise goes. <<
i'm on this minimal time workout kick lately
