  1. Re:Does one really need the BlueBorne app? on BlueBorne Vulnerabilities Impact Over 5 Billion Bluetooth-Enabled Devices (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Looks like the vulnerabilities that impact Android are in the BlueZ bluetooth stack.
    Nothing to do with the MAC address of your Bluetooth/Wifi, of if Bluetooth and WiFi are contained in the same piece of hardware (I doubt any phone has a separate Bluetooth chip anyway, it would require a separate bluetooth antenna, cost more and take up more space)

    From PDF in summery
    "If the device generates no Bluetooth traffic, and is only listening, it is still possible to “guess” the
    BDADDR, by sniffing its WiFi traffic. This is viable since WiFi MAC addresses appear unencrypted
    over the air and due to the widely accepted norm of OEMs and hardware manufacturers that the
    MACs of internal Bluetooth/WiFi adapters are either the same, or only differ in the last digit (one
    being +1 of the other"

  2. Does one really need the BlueBorne app? on BlueBorne Vulnerabilities Impact Over 5 Billion Bluetooth-Enabled Devices (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Could be wrong as I don't know what BlueBorne app does. But reading the PDF it could be as easy as checking your "About Phone (device)" and seeing if your WiFi MAC address is one digit off of your Bluetooth MAC address. I show as vulnerable and my MAC addresses end with one a digit higher.

    So one should be able to view MAC addresses and if sequential, vulnerable

    Am I right?

    While I have a cable to connect the two, Bluetooth connected headphones are just much nicer/easier. And BlueBorne found my Moto G4 vulnerable.

  6. Re:Popular Science mag back in the 60s? on Spinning Metal Sails Could Slash Fuel Consumption, Emissions On Cargo Ships (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall reading about this as a kid back in the 60s in Popular Science. It was supposed to make shipping freight cheaper. But for some reason it never caught on. Is this round 2, fifty years later?

    I seem to recall reading about this as a kid back in the 60s in Popular Science. It was supposed to make shipping freight cheaper. But for some reason it never caught on. Is this round 2, fifty years later?

    I've read of this before, I gave it some 20 years ago. 60's sounds reasonable as it's such a simple a techonolgy. Popular Science does have a tendency of covering an new produce (what's new) that never makes it to the market/masses.

  8. Not that it's an excuse, but in what universe is it OK to have internet-connected data repositories that don't have a password? When is that EVER a good idea? Why can you even create a bucket without some kind of authorization on it? That's just kinda stupid.

    And yea, TigerSwan: You were freaking responsible for the data. You might not directly employ the guy who screwed up, but your contractors are YOUR problem. The fact that you obviously DIDN'T control your contractors properly indicates that you probably aren't the right guys for the job.
