Keurig 2.0 Genuine K-Cup Spoofing Vulnerability

An anonymous reader writes A security researcher has released a humorous vulnerability description for the Keurig 2.0 coffee maker, which includes DRM designed to only brew Keurig brand coffe pods (K-Cups): "Keurig 2.0 Coffee Maker contains a vulnerability in which the authenticity of coffee pods, known as K-Cups, uses weak verification methods, which are subject to a spoofing attack through re-use of a previously verified K-Cup." The vulnerability description even includes mitigating controls, such as keeping the Keurig in a locked cabinet when not in use. Also at Hackaday.

These stupid ass one shot coffee makers

[Ol Olsoc]

Ever have a group of people over who would like some coffee? So now instead of starting a pot, then going back when it's finished, and pouring it for people, if you need ten cups of coffee, you gotta do it ten times over.

How

Fucking

Handy.

And so cool that the last people get their cup long after the first are done, or more likely if the guests have manners, the first will wait ahile their coffee gets cold.

In a world where people become lazier ever day, it's hard to imagine how such a waste of time would ever catch on.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize Keurig users don't have any friends. Carry on.
