Good for content and all I guess, but stopping right after I see a missile pile drive itself into the street a few feet away would be just about the complete opposite of my priorities at that moment.

I remember talking to an E-6 in a different company in our battalion during our deployment who looked like he had aged 10 years in the six months since we left Germany. I mentioned that fact to someone and they told me that in their first month in Tikrit, a mortar literally landed between him and the guy in front of him in line for the DFAC, and just sat there poking out of the dirt. A literal "and his hair turned white overnight" anecdote

I mean, I can kind of get it. The actual danger is past, all that’s left is dawning horror as you start to consider where to move next. Probably similar to the way we used to talk poo poo to whoever was launching rockets at my FOB in Afghanistan. If you lived/they didn’t hit anything of note, their aim sucked, way to waste your rockets shitbags! If you died, it’s no longer your problem.

That would be my concern, that the actual danger is not past. If I saw that clip happening in front of me in real life I would not be thinking "that was a big fragment" I would be thinking "oh gently caress it just hasn't exploded yet"

psydude posted:Because the radios are broadcasting, instead of unicasting. There's no way for one radio to perform an asymmetric key exchange with the rest of the radio network, since the radios are moving around and are in and out of contact with one another. If the stations were all fixed, then you could make it work (and I'm sure this has been done), but keep in mind that asymmetric cryptography means you have to establish a unique preshared key with every single other endpoint you're talking to, rather than a common preshared key that everyone can understand by default. And since it's a military application, you don't want your radios continuously broadcasting something like an SSID, which COULD be used for this purpose, because it would make triangulation very easy. necroreplying, but cryptographic systems are built out of several primitives. you don't use AES encryption, you use a cryptographic system that leverages AES along with many other components. the entire dance is incredibly complex, e.g.: https://tls13.xargs.org/ small flaws anywhere along the chain, either in the protocol or a specific implementation, can gently caress the entire system. there are plenty of real-world exploits that amount to "the system will just use the 'do no encryption' algorithm if you ask it nicely". while im not intimately familiar with military implementations, i figure they suffer from many of the same problems that affect general-purpose public cryptosystems (in Pentagon Wars fashion, military procurement can very much be design by committee hell, just in a cloistered environment). to wit, expert commentary on a major public cryptosystem: quote:In February 1999, we performed an evaluation of IPsec based on the November 1998 RFCs for IPsec [KA98c, KA98a, MG98a, MG98b, MD98, KA98b, Pip98,MSST98, HC98, GK98, TDG98, PA98]. Our evaluation focused primarily onthe cryptographic properties of IPsec. We concentrated less on the integration aspects of IPsec, as neither of us is intimately familiar with typical IP implementations, i would hazard a guess that commodity-ish military encryption hardware suffers from needing to appease multiple clients and standards. that poo poo has holes because some loving customer demanded a weird alternate mode of operation that got a half-baked implementation to close the sale to the extent that Russia NSA still exists (Gorbachev and Yeltsin intentionally eviscerated the KGB, and its SIGINT capacities got sliced and diced up among different successor agencies) they are 100% tasked with finding all the stupid exploit loopholes they can. the HUMINT side isn't doing nothing, but neither is the SIGINT side. steal keys, break systems, whichever works

I, FWIW, share the criticisms of IPSec. I run a few site to site tunnels using it and the sheer amount of redundant (and unsafe!) options you can choose is ridiculous. I would not be surprised if you could accidentally select to encrypt your traffic with ROT16 (or ROT256  )e: Reading an IT sec thread is unwise, it just leads you to the correct conclusion that everything is incredibly hosed and it's a miracle that society hasn't collapsed

https://twitter.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1663985396294795288 30-second video of Ukrainian troops shooting a Lanzet loitering munition out of the air(reportedly, it's too far away to see the details but something DEFINITELY explodes well off the surface in the area the soldiers are shooting at). It's a bit hard to see, but I believea pump-action shotgun may be one of the last things that fires before it detonates in the air, making this the most hardcore skeet shoot I've ever seen. No injuries or suggestions of injuries are shown, just dudes blasting a drone.

like nearly everything, if someone (and especially when 'someone' includes actual nation-state actors) really is invested in doing something they'll probably eventually find a way to do it. at best you can just make it very hard and very expensive

The problem with computer security is basically that damage is not limited by proximity (for stuff connected to the internet) and that it's much harder to get it wrong than get it right (luckily figuring out it's wrong is often non-trivial).

Tiny posted:Rednecks with semi auto shotguns are viable close-range drone defense.... I love it. The training for aerial gunners involved riding around in a tiny minecart, shooting at clays with Remington Model 11 and Savage 720 semi-auto shotguns. Shotgun sports have always been fairly popular in the US, even more so then.

If you ever want to see the viability of shotguns on aerial targets, just go shoot some clays. Or go look at dudes from a local club shoot clays. When you see dudes laying waste to 50 mph targets arcing through the air 2 at a time like it ain't poo poo, then you get it. Or I think in a previous post in dealing with drones, I said: "load can"

I mean, the reason nobody tried to build a bridge before 2014 is that the seabed is soft and unsuitable and any bridge you build there is going to be constantly trying to fall into the sea.
