ascii_field: i specifically mean that a node running bitcoincrashcrashcrash is dangerous to itself and others.

ascii_field: nubbins`: for what do you need a 4g nand ?

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's a 'banana pi'

ascii_field: and a socket on the side for another identical unit, for when the flash fills.

ascii_field: it is a 'banana pi.'

ascii_field: the photo suggests something like a 'raspberry'

ascii_field: doesn't cost any less than a normal computer

ascii_field: if it is anything like the training version of 'strela' (man-portable surface to air rocket from ru, whose manual was discussed in here a few wks ago) the training variant lets you lock onto and track a target, but doesn't fly or explode.

ascii_field: mats: what precisely is the point of a training round rocket ?

ascii_field: mats: and is that a flir camera head in the left hand side? another golden toilet

ascii_field: 'OS is Ubuntu 14 with optional GUI desktop. It can support to a mouse, keyboard and HDMI monitor if desired' << l0l!!

ascii_field: ... and one of the submissions is a pwning of actual wild openssl when an idiot uses dsa.

ascii_field: 'It is my aim to set a new high-water mark for transparency in parameter generation. To that end, all of these values are nothing-up-my-sleeve numbers which I generated by singing the Bohemian Rhapsody backward with my dog barking in the background, digitizing the audio as an MP3 at a bitrate of 192kbit/s, and taking every 17th byte of the result. Their integrity can easily be verified by repeating this procedure.'

ascii_field: incidentally, one of the entries is a diddled ecc curve

ascii_field: 'Shows how this backdoor can completely pervert the security guarantees provided by the TLS protocol... even the presence of a single CA certificate with a secretly embedded backdoor in the certificate store would render the entire TLS security fictional...'

ascii_field: 'Provides a working implementation of a backdoor embedded into the RSA modulus of a Certification Authority public-key certificate and the code for a minimalistic client and server communicating over a TLS channel:'

ascii_field: from a runner-up:

ascii_field: used as part of an implementation of IPSec over IPv6 in a resource constrained IP stack. In such a case, under normal operation the library will perform properly, interoperating with other IPSec aes-ctr hosts. But when it is triggered by a forged ICMPv6 packet it will lead to a full plaintext reveal. Another forged ICMP packet will restore the conforming behavior so that normal packet retries will mask the improper

ascii_field bashed his head on this for most of a year, at one point

ascii_field: mats: neato, there was a similar project for xilinx 'virtex'

ascii_field: check out the many apps whose functionality sums up to one line of 'sed' on a sane machine

ascii_field: -these- and precisely -these- people will always be the first to swear to you that 'being a star just happens'

ascii_field: ^ how the 'making a living with apps' folks do it

ascii_field: 'According to reporting, "1.6 percent of developers earn more than the other 98.4 percent combined. And the bottom 47 percent of engineers earn less than $100 per month." Yet somehow, independent app development has often been described as a 'gold rush' despite it being quietly understood by developers, even as early as 2009, that this was hardly the case.' << does this person have any awareness of what the '49 goldrush

ascii_field: 'Recent revelations show that the situation has gotten so bad that today there are only approximately 3000 apps profitable enough to support a median income of $50k for their developer. It is also important to note that not all apps are built by one developer, many work as a team. So it follows that there are many fewer than 3000 developers sustainably doing independent development.'

ascii_field: but guess what, a modern italian can't go around proclaiming 'civis romanus sum' to any useful result, either

ascii_field: danielpbarron: the vibe i got was 'why won't they lick my boots, whatddayamean it isn't 1890 and i'm not a brit'

ascii_field: mats: leaving us with no real basis for actually figuring out the situation. << know perfectly well that we -have- a real basis. any crypto standard promulgated by known malefactors is to be thrown out. and replaced not with iraqi caesar ciphers, no, but with derivation from first principles of perfectly reasonable modern crypto.
