That’s all they got?!

There’s people still using x?!

It's the most popular news app in the world according to Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/iphone/charts/6009

Whatever irrational/ideological notions are convincing you everyone quit simply aren't founded in reality.

What’s the reason these always get flagged? Is there something inaccurate?

Anything negative about Trump or MAGA gets flagged so fewer people will see it.

Aww was hoping this would be a Peter Thiel immortality quest story :/

title definitely made me click and was true enough that i wasnt mad

I sure hope there’s an anti-debug framework called Durin’s Bane?

Bad idea to delve too deep into the binary.

"The dwarves debugged too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of GDB-dum... stack corruption and flame.“

"The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Unix. Go back to the Segfault! You cannot crash."

I hope if you use it in late Ocotober when the moon is out, it opens the CD tray... for those who still have one.

Oh noes, what do I call my Apple TV now?

Timely post with the vulnerability research this week? https://www.tarlogic.com/news/backdoor-esp32-chip-infect-ot-...

This outfit has changed the term "backdoor" to mean "any undocumented feature". The findings reported are absolutely not a backdoor in any conventional usage of the term. One would need to flash their own code to the micro to make use of these features, which is the normal operating mode for any micro device.

This is nothing other than a security research team trying to get some attention by crying wolf.

That was related to Bluetooth. Interesting undocumented low level commands but it's a bit of a stretch to call it a vulnerability IMHO.

But having the whole stack open would just be better in general.

Correct. HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43301369

Not a vulnerability in the way that Tarlogic makes it sound. Disingenuous and misleading article for sure.

A good bunch of "security" articles that make the news look more like scareware to me in the past years.

This isn't a backdoor, it's just an undocumented debugger in the HCI stack. You still need a physical UART connection to the device AFAIK. The exact same type of connection you use to program and debug the device normally.

This is the one worth watching, it’s a total scam and PayPal is fine with it apparently.
