TEDxMidAtlantic 2011 - Avi Rubin - All Your Devices Can Be Hacked

[TeamLibertyExpress]

If Dick Cheney has a heart attack, everyone's brakes are going to fail !

[MaxTperson]

Could be handy to have local "everything is done manually" day, few times per year, so that skills and capacity to keep things working exists if and when needed. Powerplants operated manually, traffic guided manually, utilities manually, (um... phone lines switched manually ? how does one do that with cellphones ?)

[notanut02]

That's some interesting stuff! Security is always lacking in early implementations of new technology!

[2minutestomammoth]

oh god... I hope nobody insane gets hold of this technology: making cars' brakes disengage?

do you think we could protect ourselves better by learning how hacking works?

[icemanbx]

@2minutestomammoth I'm sure intelligence agencies have had these exploits to their disposal for a while now. Disengaging the brakes would be a very handy way to dispose of people you don't like, from a distance. Just to name something.

lol now I know a new H4X0R method: I'll just 'coincidentally' leave my iPod next to the target's laptop! ;)
