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

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?

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.

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.

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.
It's just one variety that I'm growing this year, along with peppers and tomatoes. The whole garden is like a giant hot sauce factory!

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.
