and their '' defense system '' would be a literal wooden gate without any fences around

There is no such thing as software without a bug, and there never will be. Even natural selection exists (evolution) to filter out Bugs in a species (excuse the insectoid pun), and so if mother nature's Algorithm of Evolutionary Self-Ultra-Deep-Learning has bugs and susceptibilities in the many species of life it creates, and needs to to evolve and improve, then so do ALL software packages. Nothing on the net is secure, only well hiddden. Speaking of Nature's Algorithm, i believe the Math behind the Steps Taken in the Evolutionary process of Nature, is the same equation we should use to program deep learning algorithms in Data Sciences. Especially with quantum programming (recommend IBM's Quantum Experience). The reason automated deep learning takes over and teaches itself beyond what the programmer themself expected or predicted, is proof that Nature, and even code itself, is subject to this evolutionary algorithm of mutation and self improvement

More like something a first-year CS student would say about their Python code for sorting int arrays.

To be honest, it sounds like what someone running a text/paypal "your phone is hacked" scam would say.

@@AjarnSpencer I remember a good talk (DEFCON 21 or 22) that talked about this specific topic in the context of network defense. Might be interesting when exploring this topic further.

Scary warnings about the consequences of being caught with prohibited items are enough of a deterrent for people who might not be confident about what they're planning to do. Imagine being a suicide bomber who's extremely nervous - you either leave without being arrested, risk getting caught by security and depending on the outcome getting arrested or essentially ending your life (the bomber wouldn't be thinking about the lives of the other passengers here). The fear of being caught may be enough to stop an attack before they even try to breach security. It doesn't matter if the security is competent or not, and the TSA has shown this. No attacks since 9/11 on US aircraft, and in 2017 95% of tests were failed (i.e. a manager got something through they shouldn't have).

that's literally the reason they do all that "security" theatre... to make people feel safer, because they can't possibly stop anyone who puts more than 5 minutes of thought into their attack plan

@Nagolbud agreed

Benjamin Middaugh ☆ Just like NASA ☆ "This has Never Been a Problem Before, therefore it Can't Be a Problem Now. Besides, we'd have to ask the Russians, nicely if we could hitch a ride home. Plz?

Ingeborg Svensson in Europe, small pocket knives are allowed on aircraft. You can buy Swiss Army knives in many airports, especially Switzerland.

That's actually BS you can't have small pocket knife onboard but can have let's say stainless steel pen.

Dustin Dawind guess what the RAF call there recon and attack UCAV drone network here in the UK. LoL. Sky net.

Sky net was a 1970s British military spy satellite system.

Yes, cause SkyNet was known for airport security.

Clap.clap.clap. Missed opportunity there, someone is literally kicking themselves in the ass right now for missing that

Skynet is a family of military communications satellites, now operated by Astrium Services on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence, which provide strategic communication services to the three branches of the British Armed Forces and to NATO forces engaged on coalition tasks. The satellites were operated by Paradigm Secure Communications until October 2012 when the organisation was rebranded to Astrium Services. The largest user of the Skynet satellites was the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), who were responsible for more than 80% of the communications traffic that was subsequently returned to the United Kingdom.[2] Despite the enormous communications capability of Skynet, GCHQ still found the capacity provided by Skynet to be inadequate.[3] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(satellite)

AEtherstream ☆ With Clear Text UID/PW hard coded in the Software, nothing has to be "Hacked". Laying there, spread for you!

exactly. anything can be hacked. It will always be so. The methods change, but the situation of darkness and light being needed to keep each other existing, means that as security measures improve, so will penetration methods also evolve.

The ocean floors are littered with unsinkable ships...

But can it run cryisis?

Wasn't that the pentium device? That's x86, that could run doom easily.

No. Unfortunately. Would make checkpoint days much better if it did.

probably could

it means the illuminate look at every securitycamera from your home.... !!!

bruh

Nearly all routers have a backdoor for maintenance.

There was a huge outcry on hardcoded backdoors, an older one now is the Cisco switches, read up on that. Home routers have terrible security generally, I've actually made sure to check that every router I have ever bought or recommended to someone has the option of installing OpenWrt, since routers basically get near no patches after being released, even though most routers are used for years (I actually discovered an ancient one from around 2001 when ADSL was rolled out at my grandparent's house, it was from a time where he spent a godawful amount on a 250MB cap (MB is not a typo), it only got replaced in 2018 after we actually used the net there and discovered that this thing still existed. Amazing feat of engineering though that it could keep running without any issue near 20 years in a dusty room that never got entered, surviving lightning strikes on the line as uppermost house on a large hill, etc.).

A KZfaqr “that it could keep running for 20 years” - yeah, with all its security patches applied by the NSA agent assigned to that home...

@@antoy384 thanks for the laugh, that NSA dude must have been pretty bored as net was used for an email once every few months lol. Wouldn't be susprising to me though if actually did, my grandfather worked quite high up at NASA during the 60-80s.

Actually there is a checking system for the checkpoints. I've had the opportunity to take part in the tests. During a normal day, they'll bring in people from local military or law enforcement agencies to pose as security threats. For me, they strapped a fake data sheet explosive with metal det cord to my leg and wrapped it with gauze. I acted as though I had just had a surgery on my leg. I went through the scanners, got selected, and then attempted to socially engineer my way out of the situation. It was pretty nuts seeing how they follow procedure very well! Only one dude seemed unsure and brought in his supervisor to make a final decision.

@@Vandanescobar well hello there :)

@@itisjambo g'day matey

it's an inconvenience to ordinary people, but not a real problem to the one that wants to get through. and honestly security/law is based of the EA business model, it's all pay to win.

The security used to be so bad at the exits in Belfast Airport anyone could get into the secured area by waiting for a plane load of people to come through after baggage reclaim, once the door opens to the public area walk through the doors backwards and that would fool the cameras that would auto detect people walking in that way unless someone actually happens to be looking through them at the time.

@svampebob007 The real question is if security comes in the DLC, or in the later patches...

Gabriel Badwolf That's a startling fact. But totally believable.

Yep... TSA screening is theater. I'm not going to say it is useless, but it doesn't actually do what most people think it does. Oh, and the really important screening happens behind closed doors (freight and luggage).

My laptop bag had a series of cables and key chains surrounding a $25 S&W aluminum bodied 3.5" knife. It was oriented in a way that the machine only saw the knife's side or top, never the broadside. Twice I went through screening unstopped. It's not fool proof; the screening is more of a deterrence and to show the taxpayers "we're doing something!"

Knobsmacker. I by mistake forgot to leave my knife at home once, when going on an overseas trip, and didnt get through the checkpoint when they saw it. They gave me 2 options, leave the airport, or they could take the knife and let me on the plane. I took option no.1. Then I decided to try again, since the time was too short to go back home with the knife, and there was no mailbox in the airport to mail the knife back to my house, and ive owned this knife since i was a kid, so i just really wanted to keep it. So then, i decided i was getting the knife through the checkpoint. How? By filling my pockets full of crap, then when the bins goes through the scanner, and the tech says "oh, possible sharp object here", your instructed to show them your bin, move the stuff back and fourth so they can see all of it, but they won't, as its easy to just move stuff ever so slightly too little as to not expose the 1 item you don't want them to see, at the same time make it look like your really moving the stuff about thoroughly. A smart person at this point would have added 0 and 1 together, no? The tech thought it was strange they didn't see the offending item, especially considering they clearly remembered me from the first time attempting to pass with the knife, but nevertheless, then let me pass. In essence, a backdoor by harnessing the staff's low IQ. I'll skip how to enter a guarded checkpoint at a military facility with absolutely no clearance or security papers nor even plain ID for this time. But I have done that, by the low IQ backdoor.

@@Santor- I think most flyers and train riders post 9/11 are smart enough today that someone with a knife is only going to get themselves seriously hurt. Hell, even on flight 93 once the passengers knew what was up, they kicked ass.

M Hamma well sure, if something is "up", thats different.

@@Santor- IQ is meaningless. It's simply impossible for the human brain to maintain perfect attention and memory for 8 hours. Have you ever worked customer service? After a while it would take a rainbow LED-lit top hat and hammer pants to make any one stranger distinguishable from another. Look like you're doing something, move the line along, repeat.

Yeah that's exactly what it means. Especially with XP lol, even the old autorun.bat trick worked back then

Thought this was Shapiro for a second tbh

TSA's explicit purpose is for the illusions of safety, all terror attacks will be stopped before they get to the airport. There's lots of literature about it.

Well there you go then. They are doing a great job of making that apparent through their actions.

Homeland security did their own tests to see if the TSA would stop threats. Over 95% of the time they failed. Its not just that they will regularly miss threats - its very rare that they will even catch the threat.

Olivia Thanx for the back-up. It's actually pretty new to me. The first time I flew under the "security" of the clown gestapo was only about 3 years ago and I was outraged at the whole charade. Once I had to get through just to pick up my son and had a knife I had forgot to leave in the car so, while tempting as it was to test them I din't really like the possibility of an anal probing. Fortunately, someone had placed a USO donations container close by so the knife didn't have to go in the trash. ...dirty cork soakers.

Hahahahaha. It probably is. So funny....not. What's wrong with this country? As soon as the gov't takes over, everything goes to shit and costs a fortune. Then the coverups occur. Never fails.

That's because it is. Kronos is a company that creates time-keeping software for other companies

@@alext9067 How did you go from 2 institutions using the same time-keeping software to government cover-ups?? Damn dude, chill.

@@Matio25091 Yes, I'm just laughing that an airport is using the same tech as a department store.

@@fakjbf3129 Oh gotcha hahaha yeah, that is a bit silly

It has been thicker. This was from five years ago now. Did you not notice the date?

pro tip: you can bypass the human eyeball by just being white

Not at all.. Most places, just like governments.. Always have a bean counter, that will always choose the cheapest option, that best 'seems' to meet their needs.. If the IT & security, supervisors etc. Dont get any input, much less the chance to 'Red Cell' the hell out of it, and truly seek & explore its limits & vulnerabilities first.. Before relying on it. Most places buy cheap & just 'hope' the hype hyenas won't be laughing at them next..

I have to agree, I was thinking he meant TSA misses false bottom bags or similar modifications in baggage. The answer is more developed. Inferred rather than overtly claimed. If a weapon can be substituted INTO a screening event, can't a screening, sniffing, detecting device be overridden to NOT ALERT?? So, from 4:30pm today to 6pm today, at your local airport, no alerts will be given in any threat detection. Is that safe? How about the reciprocal....from 4:30 to 6 pm ALL SCREENING EVENTS WILL SHOW A GUN. Now, after 20 minutes, will TSA trust all those detections? No, they saw a gun, they looked in the bag, its not there, they screened the bag EMPTY, it shows gun, the gun is not there, etc. What would TSA do? Delay thousands of passengers, and flights?? Or, start passing everyone? What do they do if this occurs in the top 20 US airports at the same time?

The presenter is a weapon and he got past TSA

TSA has an 80% failure rate in testing and one of the highest turnover rates of any government LE agency. Yes, you can.

The mic is mightier than the gun... Boy things evolve fast!

It's that weapon Douglas Adams has talked about

@William Rumley - This is how systems are easily hacked because people failed to do updates, the most vulnerable ones are network switches which are mostly forgotten to be updated all time, you just make it easier for hackers to break through your network environment.

The problem is in embedded systems like this you can't do updates - or at least not as an end-user. The manufacturer should be shamed, though, for not updating the software they wrote to work with a newer OS and using that. But it's ever so common to see ancient software, not just there but in any government application. The stuff is written to run in a very specific environment and will generally break if you update anything without updating everything else including the custom written software. Then it all has to be validated again. It seems common not to bother and just hope it keeps working.

The reason it can't be changed is it's used in the code you are referring to. They're calling a function that sets the username and password that will be used in the request, and the username and password they use in the code is the same as what is used in the config file (obvs). That's what hard coding means.

"Not In Evidence" If you want to show that it's hard coded, show the section of code that actually _uses_ the fix name/password, not the code that sets it if it's not already set.
