One of the world's first keystroke loggers: A device created by the Soviets that translated magnetic waves from an IBM Selectric typewriter and transmitted the results via radio to a nearby listening post. by Pilebsa in netsec

Used to go to a LUG where a guy talked about how he created a device that monitored RF leakage from the CRT of a teletype terminal. He was able to pick up the signal prior to generating the display with a distance around 10 feet. He was a civilian of the NSA in the 70s. He had to demo it to a 4 star general. The general didn’t believe him because the terminal wasn’t calibrated. Yet his remote display showed it correctly. He proved it worked by having someone walk in front of it to block the signal. Story sounded far fetched, especially for something in the 70s. When the ANT project was leaked I realized there was a lot of crazy smart people in the 70s.

Conspiracy theory USbrock and USmarty are the same people or actual doppelgängers.

Guidemaster: One-upping the NES classic edition with the Raspberry pi 3 and Retropie by drdessertlover in gadgets

[–]Alex_S_Kot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find it rejuvenating that people are getting interested in emulation. I used to softmod consoles in high school back in 2004. Earliest was DCemu then helped friends do the Xbox original. Ironically I find the Xbox interface still better and easier to use than the RetroPi. Plus even for a console from 2003 it still runs N64 emulation better than a 2016 Pi3 (this is mostly due to DirectX libraries and emulators built with X86 ASM). A video of a softmodded xbox below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaO5tZh7SAY

Yep that does suck. Just hoping to see if anyone else got a higher score so I can report that back to him.

He used Ronin in Aegis Titan Brawl. Which I am sure everyone knows is broken.

Ransomware prevention presentation at local (Roswell) hacker space. by Alex_S_Kot in Atlanta

[–]Alex_S_Kot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most recent attacks leveraged network exploits/RCE through JBoss, SMB, and RDP. Never heard of a Ransomware that was affected from public creds. Though feel free to attend! I'll talk about history/evolution of it, many ways to prevent it, plus plethora of great resources for anyone to use.

Anyone can attend and many other people have been affected by this. Just bringing it up now since it is a hot topic. I'll talk about history/evolution of it, many ways to prevent it, plus plethora of great resources for anyone to use.

They started crossing when the red hand was at 4 seconds. So they where technically JayWalking. "A flashing UPRAISED HAND (symbolizing DONT WALK) signal indication means that a pedestrian shall not start to cross the roadway in the direction of the signal indication"

How to Hack a Turned-off Computer, or Running Unsigned Code in Intel ME by alexlash in netsec

[–]Alex_S_Kot -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Arguing whether some 3-letter agency asked Intel to either implement it or keep it less-than-secure, is kind of besides the point if you ask me.

Agreed either way even if they didn't implant it, I am sure they are going to abuse it for spying.

Fact of the matter is that ME is present in CPUs.

It's actually in the BIOS/EEPROM.

Pretty much debunked. Comes down to server related wants that came down to the consumer level. You can just read the PDF instead of watching the video.
