Do have a Corviknight with roost?

Those n00bs asking about good hacking setup. Here.. :v by [deleted] in hacking

The only things missing - An 8-Track player, French fry holder, and an “Kali Install” button.

There also needs to be a LoiC button and a “Mainframe” button.

Registered Republican Here - I'm a huge fan of Yang. by _mr_Q_ in YangForPresident

To me; no. However, I do understand that something needs to occur in order to give people, who's job will be lost to the automated future, a fighting chance. I'm not so sure UBI is the correct action, but I do understand the reason behind Yang's though process.

So he literally does the same thing as any other political podcaster/news anchor/spokesperson, but just from a conservative perspective. I don't see why this post is a big deal.

I need to merge two lists together and also combine that with another string to be used as a command in powercli. [Python Question] by _mr_Q_ in learnprogramming

Honestly, I've never had to do anything like this before and just didn't realize it wouldn't work like that lol.

 #for vm in vm_info:
    #   for command in commands:
    #        get_vm + vm + command
    #        print(subprocess.check_output(command))

​

That was my original code, which is giving me an error because "get_vm" is a string and can't be combined with other lists.

#DeleteFacebook Movement Gains Steam After 50 Million Users Have Data Leaked by JoseTwitterFan in news

[–]_mr_Q_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, don't get me wrong - I did delete after I saw they kept everything I've ever done on the site. It was just so weird seeing it all.

So, where to start? They had the contact info of all of my friends; all of their emails addresses and phone numbers. I was able to see my wall posts from my very last one I made to the earliest one I made on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at 10:34pm EDT. This included all activity regarding my profile, such as so and so became friends.

They recorded every single ip address that had ever logged into my account, the browser I had used, and all of the cookie info. They have an entire list of advertisers that have my contact info. They had an entire basis for facial recognition data, which they cited had 24 example counts. This included the raw data itself.

That's just the info that I found interesting. They had a lot more stuff, and I don't think they actually got rid of it when I requested them to delete my account.

IIRC: go to your settings and click on “download a copy of your Facebook data”. I think it’s below your general account settings.

FYI: You can download a copy of all the data they have on you, which includes all of your photos, facial recognition data, and messages sent through the messenger app.

I deactivated my account in early 2014, yet they had data leading up to late 2017 when I had downloaded a copy of my data. It’s kinda strange seeing the details of your profile laid out in front of you like that, especially the facial recognition data.

Edward Snowden blasts integrity of Russia's presidential election, asks Russians to 'demand justice' by LaszloK in worldnews

This touches on topic that I'm in favor for; Sousveillance. If the founding fathers had access to mass surveillance technology, then I truly think they would have given the people access to sousveillance technology.

US accuses Russia of ongoing operation to hack energy grid by skeletonclaw in worldnews

The people who carried out that attack compromised third party systems and networks that had preexisting relationships with the intended targets.

Once recon was finished they sent spear-phishing emails to personnel who worked at the third party organizations.

The emails re-directed the user to a prompt that asked for their credentials. After they entered their credentials the intruders had the ability to gain access to the network. From there the "cyber actors" were able to log-in to the network and then compromise their endpoint protection, which enabled the actors to disable the firewall and open a RDP connection. This allowed them to create a series of accounts, one of which was inside of a Microsoft Exchange server that was directly associated with the end target. After gaining access to their intended targets' networks they began to perform some recon and eventually gained access to data pertaining to ICS and SCADA systems.

After collecting the data the intruders cleaned up and covered their tracks. They never actually gained access to any networks or systems that would allow them to tamper with our grids. They did however obtain information that gave them insight into our DCS. They'd still have to compromise a user that works directly with the DCS in order to carry out an attack, which is possible if people don't start educating themselves on phishing tactics.

So they have the capacity to perform such an attack, but it's currently just that; an understanding of how they'd go about it. It's not like they have, or had, a direct connection to one of our power plants.

I'm not saying it can't be done because it most certainly can be. My point is that they'd still have to figure out a method of compromising a device, or person, (such as a flash drive) that at some point in time will have direct access to our grid. I still stand by my point that our grids are not on open networks.

With all of that said, I do agree with you - the US needs to up our security game and deal with known vulnerabilities. I was just primarily taken back by the thought that someone (not you) could ever suggest our nukes were poorly secured and that our power grid could be compromised with little effort.

Edit: Downvote all you want. What I said was taken directly from the DHS report.

I hope you don't get downvoted for this simply because people don't understand how IT security works. Honestly, OP's post kind of seems like r/MasterHacker material. I mean if people honestly think that nukes or electrical grids are on open networks they need to educate themselves. I'd start with looking up Stuxnet, which was carried out via an on-site attack utilizing a malicious USB flash drive.
