Grumpy old InfoSec beard. Whether it's physical security or grumbling about firewalls and governance, I ramble about it all.

Does anyone know what's going on at Data? The staff seem to be very unhappy and the roadmap is rather patchy.

I call BS on this.

Firstly, rolling codes are difficult to defeat as you have to know the algorithm for each car. This is valuable information.

Secondly, why the Flipper Zero and not a more powerful or cheaper SDR platform?

Something doesn't add up. ๐Ÿค”

The meeting in Alaska plays into Putin's hands. If the US doesn't arrest him and hand him over to the ICC, it'll damage both the reputation of the ICC and US and embolden Putin thinking that he's unstoppable.

With current technology, hopefully it'll be more successful than the last time the RN tried aerial reconnaissance.

This would be a fantastic win for Russia.

Not only are the US unlikely to arrest Putin, giving him the opportunity to show that the US doesn't follow the ICC judgements, damaging the reputation of both the ICC and the US, but it's the perfect opportunity to further split the US from it's allies.

It's 10% drinking and 90% thinking. If you can get the thinking sorted out, the drinking sorts itself out.

BIKINI state - Wikipedia

Why doesn't the UK have a hacker conference like DEFCON?

The British equivalent of DEFCON was Bikini and although that would be an interesting conference, it wouldn't have the same vibe as a hardcore hacker meet.

It's funny, but in America, unlike many parts of the world, security professionals aren't granted the ability to protect the public by holding government departments to account.

The hacker mentality and freedom doesn't mean allowing fascism to thrive.

And that's the issue. In a field where we regularly deal with misinformation and fraud, it's particularly important to judge whether what you're reading online is from a trusted, knowledgeable resource. Often the influencers are people who don't know what they're doing.

I've been told that I do a good rendition of "Somebody's watching me" by Rockwell. I guess it depends on how drunk you are at the time.

As they're a common site on here, I was thinking of doing a fundraiser to pay for my recent medical expenses.

As I'm British, this amounted to a whole ยฃ2.50 (for a bottle of #fanta while I was waiting).

All donations gratefully received.

#ThankYouNHS
