WAR DOGS OF SOCHI posted:uh...i've been to many a library conference and depending on the crowd, they tend to be a bunch of librarians pissing and moaning about how to get the respect they deserve and to prove their worth to the world. ala is better than most but still ain't nobody talkin' about archiving at these things and internet privacy to a librarian means putting a polarized screen on the desktops so that their patrons can continue to watch rape porn in the childrens room I don't think this was ever a problem the other way around for libraries because what a library is, and how you organise it, is really kind of intuitive - but it doesn't work at all for archives. Anyway it's interesting to hear the two disciplines still being lumped together by old people who dunno wtf they're doing. *something about internet security here*

some people upthread were saying that Ukraine has been an "live fire range" for Russian malware for a while now. Is there any good in depth journalism on this? I'd love to read a potted history of what's happened.

Shifty Pony posted:wired has a story on it which isn't entirely awful. it goes over the pattern of the attacks starting out as largely manually executed against a particular system and then iterating until they are automated attacks based on modular tools which could be more easily adapted for use against other targets. if you dig a bit online about each of the incidents in the article there are usually a few blog posts by researchers. Wicked, thanks.

spankmeister posted:I went to this crypto museum last year and they had a large collection of enigmas and we weren't tuoposed to touch it but I couldn't help myself. It's a very satisfying machine. I dunno if it's still a thing but a few years ago the Bletchley Park crypto myuseum was selling fully functional Enigma replicas in kit form that you built yourself. If you google around maybe they're still doing it.

Ah that's a pity. I bet some insane person makes functional mechanical replicas for people with a few grand to spare.

I think it'd be safer and maximum opsec for all concerned if we put all the 5 eyes spooks in a single gigantic airtight off-the-grid facility 5 miles underground and permanently sealed up the entraces and exits.

That would raise some questions as to who or what is currently occupying all the infrastructure above ground while masquerading as government spies.

Just send a target fb friend requests from a few dummy accounts over a few weeks/months, then request a pw reset and nominate your own dummies for verification. My sister has over a thousand friends on FB. I don't think there's much discrimination there, she probably just adds everybody. Now my sis is for sure a confirmed moron, but i don't think she's much worse than average.

LP0 ON FIRE posted:what does that do? you're reactivating your dummy account with other dummy accounts? No, you make a bunch of dummy accts, friend them to the account you want to compromise, then (if that works) try to password reset the target account, which requires you to name some trusted fb friends for id verification. If you nominate the dummies that you control you can get the codes needed to reset the target account pw. But if the trusted friends need to be specifically selected in advance by the legit account holder it'd be super convoluted and probably not possible anyway.

quote:China has successfully sent "hack-proof" messages from a satellite to Earth for the first time. Is this "hack-proof" or """""""""hack-proof"""""""""? Presumably at some point in the process (once the data reaches its destination?) your secret quantum data needs to be turned back into its original best_simpsons_quotes.txt format to be usable, at which point it's as vulnerable as anything else? Is the data actually less vulnerable during transmission, or is it just easier to figure out its been compromised once it reaches its destination? gently caress copmuters

ate all the Oreos posted:if it's actual quantum encryption then the idea is it's basically a very secure way to send key data, after that it's just a boring normal OTP (or a stream cipher or whatever). so basically if anyone intercepts the key data or looks at it or anything you gently caress with the quantum-y bits of the system and it's immediately detectable (in fact it completely prevents you from continuing the connection), so you cancel the transmission before any of the ciphertext is even encoded. quote:e: also I swear someone already did it from a satellite to a ground station years ago so idk if this is anything new or just China trying to look cool

Is it dumb for a big-ish company handling sensitive information to have company wifi secured with WEP in tyool 2017? I'm not acomputer toucher at all, but I heard that WEP is basically a joke, in security terms.

I know this is a vague follow-up but if somebody hreaks into the wifi what's the reasonable worst they could do? Cause if it's just boosting free wifi i don't think anybody would care.
