eh i never do defcon (nor ever have), rarely anything of value. based on their speaker page for this year there's only a handful of interesting talks, and even then it's just further details of public research (sha-1 collision)

yeah they didn't accept my talk but i haven't been to a talk there in over five years

(go for contests and the friends you only see once a year)

And like Wiggly Wayne DDS said, Petya was a perfectly functional ransomware, there was no reason to make the changes that they did.

so wait was there a new legit ransomware attack this week or is petya older and just the non-ransomware targeted at ukraine is new?

Is it called cyber because trump called it cyber in a debate? So now they have to adjust their marketing?

sadly no, the MIC has been calling it that for a decade or so because "cyber" sounds cooler to people with stars or stripes on their shoulders than "information"

compare "information security" or "information warfare" with "cyber security" or "cyber warfare"

also hi5 if you have cyber to wizard installed

yeah fwiw my last two projects have had "wizard" in the name and they've been good and i can afford more index funds and a bigger tithe to splc because of it

is it the nsa or some other three-letter agency whose procedure for escorted guests involved some sort of an alert to your presence? i know my mom has mentioned having to be followed around with a flashing light or something so the spooks would know to shut up when she left the conference room to pee.

I'm pretty sure that's procedure at lots of sites, someone warning about uncleared personnel so people have a chance to clean their desks and lock their screens.

e: i remember for a few years right after 9/11 they had little makeshift sandbag pill boxes set up along the road manned round the clock by military guys with very scary machine guns pointed at the oncoming highway traffic, like not even in the secure areas just along the public highway, that sure was fun

yeah i remember hearing that they closed down a1a past patrick afb so if you wanted to get from satellite to cocoa you had to cut through merritt island, and also made it so hard to get on and off pafb that a bunch of good restaurants and also a chinese buffet closed

lol yep i remember that happening, traffic was loving disastrous for a little while, and even after that there was a bunch of uncertainty because whenever the TERRORISMS ALERT LEVEL would go red they'd shut it down again. eventually they reenforced the base enough that that stopped i guess?

i don't really know much about ethereum but i think this is what happened:

ethereum is all about 'smart contracts' and code that executes on the blockchain, so the multisig wallets were implemented using contracts. they had an initializer method that would set up the owners and stuff, but they forgot to specify the visibility, and it defaults to public (lmao) so someone could just reinitialize it with themselves as the owner

if bitcoin is the intersection of people that don't understand math, don't understand economics, and don't understand encryption, ethereum is all of those plus people that don't understand programming

i actually have an old diary i forgot the pw to (pw protected odt)

i remember when i switched from openoffice to libreoffice it stopped working, or maybe upgraded oo?

iirc when i started it (pre-2011) i think they were using blowfish based on the pw you supply?

honestly if i could figure out a way to throw guesses at it i think i could create a wordlist that would crash it...

run strings on it and see what pops out
