  1. Re:Expensive Car Parts Needed on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    Your knowledge of the transponder itself is impressive; however, you seem to know little about current remote starter technology... many remote starters have a ground on start wire that is used to activate a transponder adapter. the adapter is a wire wrapped around the key and the iginition switch connected to a relay... the relay is wired to +12V and the ground on start output. And, voila, security is retained and the remote starter works.

    I know this comment will never get read...

    But there's no need to buy the expensive modules the remote starter company says is required for transponder key setups... their $20-$30 adapter is actual nothing except 3 wires, a relay and a spare key.

    So what should they test on? Should they just stop all work that could help millions and millions of people live longer, regain site/movement/etc?

    I personally think it would be far more cruel to say: Sorry, son, but the cure that could've saved your life had to be abandoned because too many cats were uncomfortable with the tests being done.

    Think about it.

    You are correct.

    Just a clarification on that. Yes, the Hotmail webservers are on FreeBSD, but the backend (user database, mail handling, etc.) is run on Solaris boxes.

    They had tried to move the whole operation to NT but failed.

    I wasn't asking about the book, only the rating. Last I heard, NT4 had cleared the UK's equivalent to the DoD Trusted Computer Systems Evaluation Criteria (aka the Orange Book), but hasn't cleared the Orange Book itself.

    BTW, the Orange book is from the NSA.

    What do you mean it's orange book? Has it passed the US TCSEC yet?

    What was so bad about that post? Did it hit too close to the point for your comfort?

    BTW, I don't post AC because I stand behind my comments.

    "...after all the hype."

    There was hype? I heard absolutely nothing about this movie until today. I guess I need to watch more tv. =)
