Pretty sure we’ve known that for a while now, although I assume the article is about a new and different exploit rather than one of the ones already documented.
Yeah, this has actually been a known thing for a while. The government has been sneakily getting their hand into NIST standards and trying to ensure they have back doors in the commonly used “best practices”.
So as a result for instance, encryption based on pseudo random numbers generated with hashing algorithms are actually safer that these theoretically “actually random” numbers generated in dedicated security modules in hardware.
Trusted computing was never about security, it’s a way to take ownership of computers away from users and give it to computer manufacturers and Microsoft. It’s also not a good security model.
- The spec allows changing keys by the user as far as I know
- I’m unaware of a proposal of a better concept that stops attacks at this layer
Requires local access with administrative rights.
I’ll sleep soundly.
Tell me you use Windows without telling me.
Good lord, man
I’m proficient and comfortable enough on any OS. I own no systems currently running Windows. And I don’t really care for Apple. And I’m not currently running BSD or Unix.
Would you like to guess again?
It’s been a while since I’ve encountered a TempleOS user
TempleOS?
Didn’t say “I’m not currently running Apple”, just said “I don’t really care for Apple”, therefore you may be using Apple, without caring for it.
Phone runs Android. I used to work as an Applecare Advisor supporting iOS and OS X.
OS/2, surely. Or maybe BeOS?
BeOS? Oh dear, no.
I could see running Haiku.
Just kidding, no way!
you’re obviously using novell netware.
c’mon, give us a hard one next time.
That brings back a memory. I got banned from the computers in highschool because I sent a message to everyone on the network using netware. They called me a hacker. It’s literally just clicking the system tray icon and go into like send message… The message? “Hello World!”
“Said hello to 1,507 systems at once… front page of the New York Times!”
“Hack the planet!”
Guix! … does guix count as a unix derivative?
I do suppose Linux is a Unix derivative. So you’re closest. But no cigar.
Linux is like Unix but not derivate
Heavily inspired by? I understand that Linux is not derived from Unix source code. But the system architecture… Is extremely similar and in many ways functionally the same.
In art, music, literature, architecture, and ideas, something can be derivative because it inherits a form, vocabulary, conventions, conceptual framework, or design tradition from something earlier.
Plan 9?
Well that’s OK; we recently discovered that things like passkeys usually aren’t using the TPM anymore anyway. Most stuff stored in there can be routed around via tokens stored on main storage.
