'being moved somewhere else in memory' is position-independent code right? (the -fPIC flag in gcc) at least that seems to be required for a lot of unrelated things so it's possible it's enabled anyway...

only libraries are built with -fPIC, executables need to be built with -fPIE. so you can apply ASLR to all shared libraries with no change, but not the main executable.

a lot of the mitigations can be partially applied when you mix old and new code, which isn't great but is better than nothing.

modern "file-less" malware drive-by infects the machine and then never writes anything to disk at all, it relies on long uptimes and multiple machines on the network being infected to re-infect individual machines after they're rebooted and the malware instance is lost

i guess the self driving car project must have been its very own little silo because this probably wouldn't have happened if it was developed on core google infra

google has their own homebrew vcs called piper built on top of all their in house distributed computing poo poo and it has all sorts of features to prevent stuff like this from happening. it presents to the developer machine's os as a fuse filesystem, administrators can tag certain subsections of the repository as super duper trade secret confidential and flag anybody who even attempts to access it, they can also purge stuff out of the history and find out who even looked at the stuff that got purged

sounds like somebody hosed up

(n.b. i have never worked for google, this is all stuff they've crowed about in publications about their infrastructure)

did they switch to Piper because of China?

Firefox used to store it with strong encryption but had to change cause they got too many complaints from people losing their passwords cause users are idiots. Now they use easily reversible encryption unless you set a master password. They've never stored in plaintext afaik

I think you're confusing Firefox Sync with local password storage. afaik, the local password storage has always been unencrypted unless you set a master password.

i dont use Firefox sync for passwords, that was an obviously bad idea

Firefox Sync used to use strong crypto which required you to pair new devices with an existing client to do the key exchange, but users were too stupid to understand the concept and thought Sync was a backup mechanism and got mad when they lost everything when they deleted all their Firefox installs

so Mozilla changed it to just derive the key from your Sync password because we can't have nice things

Beau du Jour found that the Siime Eye creates a WiFi internet access point whose password, by default, is "88888888." That way, anyone in range can connect to it by guessing the simple password, as he explained in a blog post published on Monday. By looking at the code of the mobile app that comes with the dildo, the researcher also found that once on the dildo's WiFi, you can access its webserver. This has a login portal, but the user is "admin" and the password is blank.

By reverse engineering the firmware, Beau du Jour found a way to get root—hacker speak for taking full control of it—and get persistence on the device, meaning that he could connect to it even outside the range of the WiFi. At that point, it was game over for the smart camera dildo.

i'm the need for sms integration in my access point

it's a standard feature on all cellular wifi boxes for some reason. presumably because it adds nothing to the cost and everybody else is doing it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were regulatory issues or the cell providers insist on it

I'm sure it isn't out-of-band management over SMS

based on the screenshot and my experience troubleshooting my grandmother's lovely Verizon LTE WiFi hockeypuck, it has a web interface on the local WiFi network that can be used to send and receive SMS messages. the web page that displays incoming SMS messages clearly has an XSS that can be exploited to extract information from the rest of the web interface and then exfiltrate it using the SMS sending page
