  1. Here's hoping that it does.

  2. There is no going back now. on WikiLeaks CIA Files: The 6 Biggest Spying Secrets Revealed By the Release of 'Vault 7' (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's more sinister than that.

    Consider a one year old child today who may grow up to be a politician, high-level businessman, civil servant, inventor, etc.

    That child is going to grow up with his communications logged, messages recorded, phone conversations intercepted, and what's more all his porn interests, mistakes in teenage years, drug taking, cheating, law breaking, foolish racist or bigoted or cruel utterances, web searches, fucking everything.

    Then when they're making something of themselves they get a knock at the door and someone comes in with a big file.

    The end consequence of this project means that the intelligence agencies will become our permanent rulers. Not even democracy can overturn them because democracy's players, our politicians, have and do make mistakes, mistakes which are captured by the agencies. And any revolution would be thwarted before it even began.

  3. If your "desktop" machine has been owned enough with a boot sector style spyware/malware

    They are owned by UEFI. All of them.

    Operating system, installed programs, processor, encryption, none of it matters.

  4. All routers are compromised as well, at the hardware level. All computers with UEFI are also compromised before the OS has loaded.

  5. Then don't put it on the network if you're concerned.

    It doesn't need to be.

  6. Why would you want to live in such an authoritarian area?

    One pound of unobtainium can weigh over a million pounds, so I guess it makes sense.

    It wouldn't surprise me, it will probably be over the included canbus libraries so you know what code means what, I bet they want licensing fees.

  10. Pretty neat on Open Source Car-Hacking Tool Successfully Crowdfunded (kickstarter.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been working on some canbus boards in eagle to make something similar to this, but this seems to have everything I want. There have been similar products for a long time but nothing as DIY friendly as this as far as I've seen. This being completely open, complete with libraries, wireless, breakout board, etc. all ready to go is exactly what I've wanted for years.

    Now we just need a better aftermarket-but-hackable ECU that isn't megasquirt. I've been looking into rusefi, which seems promising. I just wish one of them would support resistor spark plugs so you can detect knock via ion sensing (I'm unaware of any). Using the older Saab ECUs for this is nice (Trionic 5.2 and 5.5, tuned with T5suite) but I would much rather have something built from the ground up that doesn't rely on parts that are quickly going out of existence.

    It's [THE CURRENT YEAR] and we still rely on stupid piezo microphones for knock detection for aftermarket ECUs.
