  1. Find the device's online trail on Ask Slashdot: Is My IoT Device Part of a Botnet? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Infected devices usually try to spread the infection further and their scanning attempts on the Internet are often observed. There is for instance a dedicated website for IoT devices attacking Telnet ports or some more generic ones, such as the Internet Storm Center. If the IP address of your device is on the list, it is very likely that you have a problem.

  2. How to test it on IoT Devices With Default Telnet Passwords Used As Botnet (securityaffairs.co) · · Score: 1

    Here is a website where you can test if your device has such a problem, because it has been observed in Telnet honeypots for quite some time - https://amihacked.turris.cz/

  3. Actually there are millions of such devices on IoT Devices With Default Telnet Passwords Used As Botnet (securityaffairs.co) · · Score: 1

    "According to the experts, several attacks have been detected in the wild," - well, have a look at this article. It is about more than 6 million devices, 1 million of it being for sure IoT stuff like cameras and the likes. It is very likely they are talking about the same attack described here.

  4. Some routers already have dimmable LEDs on Why Sys-Admins Are Disabling The Lights on WiFi Access Points (networkworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Have a look at Turris Omnia - the LEDs are dimmable in 8 steps, the last one being completely off.

  5. Re:No on Ask Slashdot: Is There Space For Open Hardware In Networking? · · Score: 1

    Their previous offering, "Router Turris," despite having a reference design and being claimed as "open source hardware", used the Qualcomm QCA8337N-AL3C, so it isn't really open hardware, either, and is much more closed than hardware which doesn't require binary blobs to work (well).

    You dismiss the previous boards as not being open hardware solely based on your conviction that the QCA8337N-AL3C requires binary blobs to run. However, this is not true, just check with the OpenWrt people.

  6. Nazca on First Company Logo Visible From Space · · Score: 0

    Now we finally know what the strange drawings on the plains of Nazca probably meant.

  7. chemical drawing programs on 29 Vector Drawing Programs · · Score: 0

    Well, for chemistry vector graphics is the most natural format, so all the chemical drawing programs out there are in fact specialized vector drawing programs. As example I would mention BKchem (URL:http://bkchem.zirael.org/>) that uses SVG as its native format with private data embedded inside in a different namespace.

  8. Re:i knew it on Microsoft Advises to Type in URLs Rather than Click · · Score: 5, Funny

    You are right, gurus use 'a'-tag instead, with 'href' as an attribute.

  9. Re:Wait a sec... on Review of Sorcerer GNU Linux · · Score: 1

    Right, just compare it with the recent newsforge article on gentoo linux. Seems the two are both "unique in the same way".

  10. who cares? on Zero-Knowledge Ceases Linux Support · · Score: 1

    i have zero knowledge of Zero-Knowledge so i don't care.

  11. weakness of GPL on Caldera Mulling Alternate Licenses · · Score: 1

    Hearing about GPL being the weakest point of Linux from corporations makes me feel that GPL is actually the strongest point.
