@LeslieW, you just advanced to level 2!

@TaLoN132 you had to do it? a bomb the fresh meat out of the gate.

@LeslieW you might be interested in...

@LeslieW I actually went to Clinton's Presidential Library earlier this week I can honestly report I didn't see any signs of kids being held against their will

I read it... Doesn't say anything about CISA. However, it is true that election security was part of the Department of Homeland Security. However, Trump created a separate group within DHS and called is CISA in 2018 and hand selected Christopher Krebs to lead it.

This may be a bit confusing but if you have a piece of hardware that is not on the internet say a vacuum cleaner or computer. It does not need cybersecurity.

Incorrect.

Was there a cafeteria or restaurant there? Maybe a pizza store? You have to know where to look...

This is pretty funny

Hi, @Maw... Can't sleep?

I've had a bit of a nap and am about to head back to sleep probably, or try.

Imagine for a moment, that you have a computer not on the internet: You can still attack this computer through different means, anything that opens up the access to the computer itself. Flash drives, ethernet ports.

You don't even need to boot the computer fully to compromise it.

@TaLoN132 Keep reading, there are multiple links to protocols recommended by CISA i.e. Mr. Keegan and connection to the Internet is one of those protocols. As is 2 stage authorization, Protection of admin log on codes, an agreement with vendor for access to update the software regularly.

I actually got something to eat at the site, I did not see pizza or hot dogs on the menu.

Dominion has multiple ethernet ports, and USB ports.

So you would connect it to the internet to download the cybersecurity suite?

What?

No, you can inject exploits, rootkits, firmware hacks.

Leslie said every hardware in every presinct has to connect to the internet to download the cybersecurity suite because Krebs Hillary and Soros said so 😅

@Maw I actually believed that abnormal voter registration and inflated numbers of eligible voters was going to be the issue. After reading earlier comments about death threats to a guy named Kreg on this site, I looked him up. And found a complete instruction manual produced via the department of homeland security and see I SA that insured did this shit show of an election happened. I am so pissed off right now I can’t even speak.

Oh, no, that's not true.

They usually use a USB drive to update the machines.

In the majority of cases when dealing with things that aren't actually computers.

Like your phones at one point.

Like cameras.

(I think on phones it was done via SD cards)

@Maw that may be the case but the instruction manual does require a network connection and updates regularly. I’m not saying that a thumb drive couldn’t have been used because it obviously was since they lost 47 of them. But why would a federal agency utilize Pardison political action organizations associated with crazy leftists in outlining election security?

Sure, a *network* connection.

Because the machines need to communicate with a source to aggregate data.

This doesn't necessarily mean the internet.

Pretending that every organization that has taken a dollar from Soros or Koch makes them inherently evil is silly

All of the voting machine discussed on Defcon's are cpus.

In the manual it’s referred to as vendor access for software updates. Which I believe is what Georgia claimed was because of a glitch there.

Software updates are one possible vector of attack?

@Dedkraken pretending that having 6 to 8 of them intimately involved in establishment of election security protocols, is reasonable is silly.

So, if what you're saying is correct, it's likely that this is the sort of system they're looking at.

Nothing tells me for sure that they are using internet.

Why would the local server be connected to the internet

So what did they supposedly do that messed up election security protocols?

Or think it is
