Key fobs! Isn't there a scheme where thieves clone the signal from a key fob when the owner is asleep in their home and drive off with their car?


The attack involves relaying the signal next to the car. Essentially mimicking the key fob being close to the car.

For what I know you can not clone the key, nor can you record the signal and replay it whenever you want access. It's a one time thing to drive away to your nearest chop-shop/hideout.


Here's hoping I get a good faraday box from Amazon!


Great list! I have the Koolertron (aka SmartYao) and love it. (Though I don't recommend the version with backlit keys) Before that I had one called the Comfort Keyboard. I wore a groove into the spacebar over a decade of use. My favorite feature of split keyboards is programming the left spacebar to backspace.


I've been working with Photon a bit in UE4. They are very responsive to issues posted in the forums, so if you aren't finding something or something isn't working, let them know. Have you looked at their Javascript SDK? https://www.photonengine.com/en-US/sdks#html5-webgl-sdkrealt...


Seconded! Great story and amazing podcast.


Darknet Diaries is my only must listen. Great hacking and pen testing stories!


When I was younger (and stupider) I was prescribed giant 800mg ibuprofen pills for an injury. I wasn't in the habit of eating with them, and ended up burning the end of my esophagus with stomach acid. I could only eat popsicles and slurpees for a couple weeks because it was too painful to swallow anything else.


"We learned some things on the last outage and we were in the process of implementing some of them when this one occurred. None of us like these fire drills, so please know that I have, and will continue to put more resources into reliability. Tailwind is not run on a server in my garage contrary to what some folks have said to me. Our servers are on AWS, and we do have a backup server.

Looking forward to putting this one to bed in the coming hours so we can get some sleep."


I once drove 10 hours to visit a friend but my phone was dead on arrival. I had his address but no apartment number. I used the Kindle experimental browser to message him on facebook.


They never account for fatigue. On long descents your neck and arms will get tired. The downward back is especially stressful on your neck to hold your head so you can see forward. This means changing to a less aero position to rest your neck and arms. Some positions may be less aero but also put less strain on a rider that may be 4 hours into a race already.


So true. Which really makes that Pantani position solid, as you are resting chest on seat and eyes are forward.


Yeah when mountain biking something extra steep, Pantani is the only way.


This. Use a Yubikey or similar for 2FA instead of your phone.
