@hey_itsmyturn Is there some kind of country-internal connectivity available to the general public? I was under the impression that even phone lines are down.
@olegkutkov Are older hybrid cars not popular in Ukraine? Something like toyota prius. Can't people improvise something like this https://t.co/NkKfwPvtCx ?
@ShinyQuagsire What does it actually mean for QC firmwares to be signed with these test keys? I have one such device, however the secdata partition does indicate the "OEM_PK_HASH" fuse to be blown. Isn't the private key still unobtainable?
I was in Extinction Rebellion for several years. I produced over 60 videos for them and helped with several protests.
I can tell you directly: It was never about the climate. It was about controlling you.
Specifically, it was about mobilising 3.5% of the population into permanent revolutionary protest in order to trigger a Communist revolution. (Per Trotsky, Sharp, Hallam, Mao)
This was told to me directly by some of the leaders of the organisation. I tried to organise some programs to help businesses lower their carbon footprints without lowering profit margins or impacting the GDP, and I was told in no uncertain terms that *solutions* were counter to the goals of the movement and that I should stop.
It was then that I started to realise their true motives, and understand that perhaps I was being taken for a ride.
I learned that Communist countries have had some of the WORST environmental records in existence. What XR was proposing - degrowth, agitation, "decolonisation", post-capitalism and every other agitprop buzzword - would effectively drop civilisation back to a pre-renewable era and force developing nations into a protracted industrial age, leading to ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more carbon emissions than the incremental improvements found by market innovations.
Population density is a critical function of renewable energy infrastructure. You don't have a factory. You have a market ecosystem. That's how technology works. It blew my mind that they didn't understand this.
After years of pushing against fossil fuels, they were suddenly vehemently opposed to Elon Musk and his EVs. It was mind boggling to witness.
I realised that Musk had singlehandedly done more to reduce emissions than the entire climate activist movement combined. And it's not close. Mentioning this, I was met with bewilderment and anger.
It was very hard to come away from that experience with much sympathy for the activist left movement. At their best they were devoid of ideas and completely incapable of making meaningful technological or engineering innovations. At their worst, they were actively working against their own stated goals in order to maximise agitation and mobilise discontent toward a destructive revolutionary movement that would ultimately lead to measurably worse outcomes.
Applying Occam's Razor, it became apparent to me that the goal is Communist revolution, and all these random causes - climate, gender relativism, immigration, BLM, defunding police, Islamisation etc etc etc weren't about triumphing over injustices, but about agitating blocs of useful idiots into a perpetual state of protest in order to seize power and control in the name of Marxist Revolution.
I thought they were creators and visionaries. I was wrong.
True change comes from the builders.
Yes there are problems on this earth, but they'll only be solved by you tackling those problems, building useful things and helping to push the species forward.
If you're smart enough to contribute, you belong amongst the builders.
BEND THE KNEE
The police and military bent the knee.
Why?
On some level, they sympathized.
Who could be against people of color?
Don't they have a point about their oppression?
Aren't they victims?
And that's how communism happened too.
Who could be against workers?
Don't they have a point about their oppression?
Aren't they victims?
Of course, communism wasn't about the workers.
It was about the Communist Party.
Once they gained power, strikes suddenly dried up.
Dissidents got gulaged.
And the focus shifted to war.
And wokeness isn't about people of color.
It's about the Democrat Party.
Once in power, protests suddenly dried up.
Dissidents get prosecuted.
And the focus has shifted to war.
In both cases, the first step was to get police and military under party control. To have them bend the knee.
And then the party really gets started.
@hnasr@BenSeri87@samykamkar@ArmisSecurity That depends on the ALG vendors implementation. For FTP, almost all vendors check the IP to be the src IP. For SIP, those that we've tested do too. For H323, those that we've tested do not - due to the particular call forwarding scenario.
@ArmisSecurity researcher @gregoryvish & I collaborated with @samykamkar and found a new variant to the #natslipstreaming attack that can bypass NATs and reach *any* IP on the internal network!

New data, and new writeups on #urgent11 & #cdpwn. It appears >90% of vulnerable devices remain unpatched more than a year later. Our writeups show that exploitation of these RCEs is powerful and very doable.
Please patch people!
