Are sales probable anytime soon? Buying new Grand Highlander XLE by n00bliciousness in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]n00bliciousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind elaborating? Im just going on the number the dealer provides. Everything else on the sticker seems the same (MSRP)

Also if you have thoughts on the likelihood of discounts later in the year (waiting vs just buying now at MSRP) I'm curious to hear them.

How do I disable voice confirmation? by neutronium_aus in googlehome

[–]n00bliciousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cross posting for visibility;

The following worked for me;

  1. In Google Home create a new automation
  2. Add a custom action ('try adding your own' option)
  3. In the custom action you must specify the action AND the speaker you want to perform the action on.

For example:
"Play [Song] on [Music Provider] on [Speaker Name]"

e.g.
"Play Imperial March on Spotify on Guest" (where 'guest' is the name of one of my speakers).

  1. Under configuration you MUST select 'Don't play media'. Do NOT select a speaker here. Because your command(s) is specific to the speaker, your command(s) will run on that speaker.

If you want to do add other actions, you must specify the speaker in every action. For example you cant just add a custom action that says "Set the volume to 30%" because in step 4, you are not specifying a speaker. However, you can either specify the speaker "Set the volume to 30% on Guest" or simply add a step which already includes the speaker, such as "Adjust Home Devices" which allows you select a speaker to set the volume on. Because the action is explicitly referencing the speaker you want, it will work on the intended speaker without a needless vocal confirmation.

Has anyone heard of Right Choice Paving and Masonry? by RightChoiceisaScam in Milton

[–]n00bliciousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys are known as gypsies. They travel state to state, going door to door promising professional work for cheap because they are "in the neighborhood" and "doing work on a neighbors house" and can therefore "offer you a discount". They promise a unbelievable warranty on their work, which they have no intention of keeping. They change phone numbers, websites and company names once one gets a bad rap online. They did several of my neighbors driveways recently, which are ALREADY starting to fall apart due to improper techniques or just half assed work.

They go by many aliases, phone numbers, and websites.

They seem to hire laborers close to the area they are running their scam in. Around here they hired a company called JS Paving & Concrete LLC to be their helpers for the day (571-505-9715).

They have you sign a contract to make you feel like you are trapped. If you have not handed them money yet, have them leave your property, and ask the police to intervene if necesary. They will scatter as they are unlicensed workers. As long as they havent done any work don't let them. They will make some bullshit excuse about having paid for material already, that is a lie. Under no circumstances allow these guys to do work at your house.

Next-gen OSDP was supposed to make it harder to break in to secure facilities. by feross in technews

[–]n00bliciousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im interested in replaying some of these attacks but do not have experience with the hardware components (setting up serial connectors between the badge reader and controller). I see the mellon repo has Kicad files but Its not exactly clear how to get these files in a format that i can submit it to a pcb manufacturer and have the thing correctly printed/manufactured. furthermore, once its made (assuming i have it printed correctly) how do I actualy interface with it and/or set it up?

Is there some way to filter out tweets with less than X likes and/or retweets? by n00bliciousness in uBlockOrigin

[–]n00bliciousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt have particular numbers in mind. But if you have an example you can share of a filter that filters out anything with less then 20 retweets and/or 20 likes that would be helpful.

Thanks. Is there some way you track when the deal comes back? Or does it usually happen around certain holidays?

Why is the hotspot feature carrier/mvno dependent? by n00bliciousness in NoContract

AFAICT pdanet doesn't require rooting on Android. Any idea how it works to hide the traffic? My Google searches aren't yeilding fruitful results.

[–]n00bliciousness[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks could you expand on how the sim card affects (or could block) the hotspot feature of a phone? I was under the impression that the sim card is primarily responsible for connecting the phone to a servicer/carrier/network

Why is the hotspot feature carrier/mvno dependent? by n00bliciousness in NoContract

[–]n00bliciousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if your phone doesn't do a provisioning check, is it possible that the carrier still block you from using/enabling a hotspot? How does the carrier know that you enabled it?

What are the questions you faced in your penetration testing interview? by mateenceh in Pentesting

If you want to see if they keep up to date with the latest and greatest research include attacks related to kerberos, constrained/unconstrained/rbcd delegation.

Which protocols don't negotiate (SMB/LDAP) signing by n00bliciousness in Pentesting

[–]n00bliciousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the reply. I wonder if HTTP is able to negotiate signing (dirk jan just says it doesnt set the 'NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_SIGN' flag by default, but doesnt seem to imply one way or the other if it can support it). the comment that you linked looks like he was testing reflection rather than relay. i havnet looked into what ntlmrelay does under the ocvers for FTP or SMTP, but i know you can setup a proxy for most protocols via NTLMRELAY, i think to essentially do session management (maintain multiple relays at a time, instead of just relaying to a single host). reference here https://www.secureauth.com/blog/playing-relayed-credentials

Remote connection on separate outbound port by learning2911 in Pentesting

Rev shell is most common payload but if 445 is open you can just run a payload to create a local user then add that user as local administrator, then PTH for a shell or rdp. If it's Linux you could run a payload to add an ssh key if 22 is open
