Was disappointed that he only brought a modified oil filled watch to 5km underwater. Would have been interesting if he’d have strapped a stock watch next to it so we could see when it would break.

People are using Discord as a file hosting service a la Imgur? Yikes. Hard to blame Discord for cracking down on that, considering it's not a service they intentionally offer.
rhd · 2 years ago
Yep, they're using it for malware delivery as well- not uncommon to find Dropper's that download additional stages of the malware from discord.

The RDP interception tool used by the researchers: https://github.com/gosecure/pyrdp

I wonder if an "enterprise" version of this might exist so that companies can audit what their administrators do on high-impact systems.

Javascript is delivered as text and sends text-based HTTP calls to the server to fetch more data. Why do you need selenium?
rhd · 3 years ago
I've once used Selenium to run javascript in the webpage to steal a few dynamic tokens required by the sites API to reuse in my more well-trodden python-requests workflow.
rhd commented on Reverse engineering a mysterious UDP stream in my hotel (2016)   gkbrk.com/2016/05/hotel-m... · Posted by u/nop_slide

Today (but perhaps slightly less in 2016, not sure) you could easily imagine a microcontroller (or FPGA) with a microphone that bugs you, but encodes that audio (using steganography) onto a canned audio file of elevator music, and then sends the result over the network "in the open".

To a casual observer snooping the relevant network, it would probably (as here) look as elevator music, but to the intended recipient who can decode the steganography, it would be a covert listening device.

I’ve only seen a store honor the floor price when it was clearly wrong like once and it was for an item that they were trying to get rid of anyway. I’ve heard the lore too and can’t understand how it could be legally binding for a store to sell an item at the sticker price. Wouldn’t people just walk in with little stickers and mark stuff down as they wished? My wife works in retail and confirms that stores don't just give out items at a loss when the price is mislabeled. They fix it and apologize. My experience confirms this too.

These days stores essentially just map an item’s UPC to a price in a DB in their point of sales software. The price isn’t encoded on the tag. Which brings me to my question: why the heck are we making an eink price tag with heavy security when the source of truth is the POS anyway? I mean no negativity about reversing one, it’s a super interesting and fun project. Just, “why?” in the first place does this thing exist? Maybe it’s just convenience and saves on labor costs to be able to update the price of all the items in your store at once and not pay a human to go out and relabel them?

Here's an example in Michigan's law:

The Shopping Reform and Modernization Act, or Scanner Law, requires that most items on store shelves be clearly displayed with the price; by signage, electronic reader, price sticker, or any other method that clearly and reasonably conveys the price to a consumer in the store at the place where the item is located. If an automatic checkout system (scanner) charges you more than the displayed price of an item, and:

the transaction has been completed, and you have a receipt indicating the item purchased and the price charged for it; Then:

You must notify the seller that you were overcharged, within 30 days of the transaction, either in person or in writing. Within two days of receiving your notice, the seller may choose to refund you the difference between the amount charged and the price displayed plus a "bonus" of ten times the difference, with a minimum of $1.00 and a maximum of $5.00. If the seller does not pay you both the refund and the bonus, you may bring a lawsuit to recover your actual damages or $250.00, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney fees up to $300.00. You may instead file a complaint in a small claims court without an attorney.

rhd commented on An Accident at SpaceX   semafor.com/article/10/18... · Posted by u/alphabetting
giantg2 · 3 years ago
What's the main point of this article? It seems like it's to question if we should go to space, but it uses a few examples of injury or death. How doe the accident rates compare to other things? Without that, it seems like there's nothing here.

"SpaceX has made no announcement to the public or to its workers about his status"

HIPAA and other legal compliance?

Is SpaceX a covered entity providing health care? If not, HIPAA is not at issue.
