ascii_field: punkman: the basic problem with this paper is that the subset of embedded gadgets which can be meaningfully emulated without extensive reversing is more or less nil.

ascii_field: punkman: where the thing ~actually runs~

ascii_field: instead of looking for some i/o thing that isn't there in qemu because wtf

ascii_field: ;;later tell mircea_popescu https://theintercept.com/2015/11/11/securus-hack-prison-phone-company-exposes-thousands-of-calls-lawyers-and-clients << mega-l0lz. summary: client-attorney privilege canceled entirely in usa.

ascii_field: 'Particularly notable within the vast trove of phone records are what appear to be at least 14,000 recorded conversations between inmates and attorneys, a strong indication that at least some of the recordings are likely confidential and privileged legal communications — calls that never should have been recorded in the first place. '

ascii_field: 'Going forward, prisoners will have very good cause to question whether their phone calls with their attorneys are confidential.'

ascii_field: and naturally, the perpetrator is in full ashleymadison mode,

ascii_field: 'It is very important to note that we have found absolutely no evidence of attorney-client calls that were recorded without the knowledge and consent of those parties. Our calling systems include multiple safeguards to prevent this from occurring.'

ascii_field: 'the court will decide whether the government can freeze all of a defendant’s assets before trial, even those the government itself concedes aren’t tainted by any connection to criminality, thus effectively preventing that defendant from paying for his own defense. Of course, the government won’t admit that this is why it is freezing the assets. The claim is that it should be able to freeze enough property to

ascii_field: cover any judgment that may be issued against the defendant. But the Supreme Court rarely questions the motives of state actors. If the prosecution can plausibly claim it is freezing the assets for the right reasons, that’s generally good enough.'

ascii_field: i've said it before, and will repeat for the n00bz:

ascii_field: the only 'defense attorney' that makes any kind of sense in modern usa is the same kind as made sense on the front in 1942: a frag in your pocket. with which to blow yourself and the arresting polizei.

ascii_field: ben_vulpes: for all i know, he's buried nukes in ten thousand and one places. i was speaking of ~the rest of us~

ascii_field: the meat.

ascii_field: ben_vulpes: there was a rough translation in the thread

ascii_field: ten thousand wasps.

ascii_field: unfortunately the ten thousand qualified people on the planet all have full calendars, booked with fucking goats, donkeys, installing windows-98-jihad-version with usgcrypt, and cleaning kalash with piss. in kandahar.

ascii_field: ben_vulpes: if monkeys from the congo turn up in london with spears, it is not because a monkey has invented airplane and spear

ascii_field: but because a man willed it. ☟︎

ascii_field: for dope

ascii_field: nk et al are exhaust products of usg metabolism

ascii_field: (in that any earnest attempt to ~really~ keep the tendrils out of a country result in something recognizably nk-esque)

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: notice that one is still here and the other - not so much

ascii_field: the man only ever had this one idea, afaik.

ascii_field: it was a fire extinguisher. su was swarming with filth eagerly cutting the whole shebang apart for sale to the highest bidder. the extermination of said scum was the only possible objective for a sane king.

ascii_field: afaik he failed.

ascii_field: ^see thread

ascii_field: idiot grantsmanship.

ascii_field read the paper

ascii_field: they took a page from the classic book of tricks for usg academe - 'pretend that the parts you didn't touch are irrelevant' ☟︎

ascii_field: (this re: the fw thing)

ascii_field: aha, saw

ascii_field: the lulzy part is, as always, that there existed what to leak

ascii_field went habitually to the 'occupy' thing when it was a thing, was disappointed

ascii_field: did too.

ascii_field: just not a specialist at it.

ascii_field is atrociously bad at meat, and this is not a mega-seekrit

ascii_field: plus my local (wash. d.c.) gaggle of idiots was perhaps 85% fellow gawkers & idlers by weight and by volume

ascii_field: the most memorable thing was when i got invited to a party held by the white clean-cut university types who organized the whole charade

ascii_field: it was surreal, like something out of those old 1950s pamphlets about cpusa

ascii_field: last i was in nyc it was infested with roaches but not with hyenas. why might that be?

ascii_field: punkman: read it. they decided that a bare qemu 'arm' is sufficient simulation for, e.g., a router.

ascii_field: that you don't actually need the peripherals for anything.

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: generalizing to 'firmware' costs you this defense.

ascii_field: it is what i call 'obscurantist projector'

ascii_field: shine light in the idiot www stack to blind eyes to the low-level strange.

ascii_field has this lined up, yes

ascii_field will get back to this as soon as he figures out how he'll eat in 2016
