The worst law firm in this country in my eyes is K&L Gates. A black executive known for speaking up on racism, sexism, etc# went a bit too far when he blew the whistle on a large cybersecurity incident.
He wound up in jail for making threats.
The whole thing was a sham.
It's frightening to think about but one man at the helm of a major law firm has more power and influence in changing policy than any one elected official in washington.
I got a free education co-learning with chinese kids at CMU. 95% of all the course material for all their classes were already available to them in their respective language.
Most of it seemed superior to the actual course material as it most often included parables, idioms, diagrams, and community sourced notes. They all had an earnest plan to learn as much of the material (if not more) than their American peers but they were simply playing another game.
Would you rather hire someone with poor grades who struggled to find answers on their own, or someone who had excellent grades utilizing superior resources and teamwork?
The reality is that the former student will probably never get a place at the table because they’ll get filtered out of the ‘elite’ pipeline sooner than later, and even if they do make it through, they probably also lack the same resources for your companies’s interview process.
Some people want to do it on their own and refuse to cheat. What is the best strategy for someone in that group? Is school and big tech just not for them?
The problem isnt attribution. NSA cybersecurity professionals are groomed before theyre even in the agency. First at their respective governor's school, then through college, and then throughout their career once theyve been picked up.
Genius is a tightly controlled commodity.
The problem in my eyes is recognition.
I believe the US government has the ability to stop these attacks but instead chooses not to up until a certain point. You learn a lot running honeypots and attacking every machine in existence when you run with a community.
The US has been stockpiling "weaponized" software payloads for over two decades. Defensive actions would only serve as an opportunity for foreign actors to improve their own skills as well as highlight where our actual strengths/weaknesses might be.
It seems to me like the culture at most 3 letter agencies is one where theyre content to watch the world/country burn for as long as certain "red lines" arent crossed.
Most of you realize private equity firms ran your ”non-profit" colleges right? Unethical experiments involving collective intelligence have been fought over for years at CMU/MIT et all. How can yall read this and really not just wonder.
Kinda. You need access to a decryption key. The ones known to be leaked will be revoked, so you need one that cannot be revoked, because the financial fallout would be too painful. That's why WEB-DL rips are typically made using the DRM keys extracted out of very popular consumer TV models.
So the WEB-DL rips are saved using homemade capture cards with the decryption module from popular consumer TVs since those can’t be revoked as they would brick those TVs?
Alternatively you plug into the output of the decryption module in the monitor before it hits the screen?
I believe you can also in some instances skip the hardware capture card and instead capture the data stream out of the host's RAM.
Inside the monitor, the decryption module and the main SoC controlling the hardware are usually the same physical chip, so grabbing data there will be close to impossible.
No, decryption keys are tightly held and inaccessible to general populations and small manufacturers and those used by illicit capture cards are regularly revoked iirc.
In regards to that, i assume that manufacturers have to apply for a cert for their device and then embed that cert, correct? Then if the device is found to be stripping HDCP the consortium can revoke that cert, but how? Sure you can do it for PCs and consoles, but are blu-ray players connected to the internet and auto-updated nowadays? Otherwise it'd be pretty easy for Chinese manufactures out of reach of the DMCA to just release one every few years and have it work for all devices prior.
"are blu-ray players connected to the internet and auto-updated nowadays?"
Some blu-rays force you to update before you can watch them. Also, the key revocation lists can (I believe) be included in the blu-ray itself to make them work offline, too.
yes, keys can be revoked [in offline players] by inserting a newer disc with a newer version of the "media key block." wikipedia suggests they're up to version 78 of that data.
With the technology out at the time (and the little i could do with it) i was mostly limited to exaggerated eye movements.
Repeated "full side eye" gestures were definitely uncomfortable (physically) and at times somewhat nausesting.
After a few weeks of steady gameplay things were noticeably better but still not something i could maintain without discomfort for more than 1.5-2hrs.
