IoT - Ragnarök_62 - 10-17-2016 #IOT OK, it's one of the latest fads. Yeah, it's right up their with mood rings and pet rocks wrt actual utility. It's also the hotbed of "all your appliances are, belong to us. - H3x0rs" https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/10/hacked-by-a-fridge-the-internet-of-things-and-cyberattacks http://www.securityweek.com/over-500000-iot-devices-vulnerable-mirai-botnet Telnet is evil, man. RE: IoT - Odin - 10-19-2016 I bet you want us to get off your lawn, too, old man? RE: IoT - Copperfield - 10-21-2016 (10-17-2016, 11:56 PM)Ragnarök_62 Wrote: #IOT OK, it's one of the latest fads. Yeah, it's right up their with mood rings and pet rocks wrt actual utility. Yep, and those new devices tend to be a lot more judicious with their network traffic. I run Wireshark on my home network every so often just to make sure nothing has transformed into the walking dead and the most active "talker" on my network is the fucking Roku player. Why it believes it need to send out an ARP request every 15 seconds (literally just making SURE it should STILL be using the same IP address) I just don't know. If I had to guess it's just laziness in the programming or the simplicity of the operating system running a dumb device that is expected to be online at all times, no questions asked (But mah Netflix isn't streaming fast enough!). Compromising those devices will be manna from heaven. Like everything else though, the shit show will be fun to watch.

Texas is big, so they whacked the blue part of Texas. *The coming shit storm: :: Rags passes some popcorn to Copperfield :: RE: IoT - Odin - 10-22-2016 The Blue areas are where most of the people are, Rags!

RE: IoT - Eric the Green - 10-22-2016 Rags, I always knew the election was rigged against us. Trump told me so. RE: IoT - Ragnarök_62 - 10-22-2016 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-21/third-wave-internet-cyber-attacks-lauched-dyn-warns So the shit show begins. Dunno if a local DNS would help.... https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093 RE: IoT - Ragnarök_62 - 10-22-2016 Eric the Green Wrote:Rags, I always knew the election was rigged against us. Trump told me so. I think that only applies to E-ballots. Rag's solution is to use paper ballots everywhere. Oklahoma uses paper ballots. The warning shots have been fired. There is no excuse for E-ballots, Diebold machines, etc. If any jurisdiction is using e-voting, you've been warned. You certainly run the risk of severe disruption by IoT. Trump is a shade of meaning off. The word is "disrupted", not "rigged". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting |
