sooo maybe yes
a backdoor
they will break in anyway
why cant the govt just ask legally
come on now
Because math, basically. Encryption is fun like that.
I build low level software for embedded critical systems, some of which have networking hardware and can connect to the internet.
hmm
We utilize encryption to create a secure boot chain that starts with hardware. So the system is booted starting with a ROM chip that has a private key hardcoded, and that is used to decrypt firmware such as the first bootloader, then other software like the second bootloader, a kernel, etc.
god i need to nerd more... this is alien to me. sigh.
So the CIA niggers have to have a hardware backdoor OR get us to include a program that's properly signed to allow other crap.
Yeah man, this is what I do for a living. It's a PITA
damn
so stupid
so you have those two options only?
Alright gents. Fucking enjoyed it. Over and out.Shadilay
peace
The third option would be very powerful exploits in the bootROM or primary bootloader. Apple actually had a thing in the iPhone 4 where a segment overflow could be used to get the bootROM to zero itself out in memory.
That's because Apple is fucking stupid. We use ASLR and we never load stuff at 0x0 in memory.
@JarJarBinx shadilay
They really are. Sucks that I need a Mac for work. It was either this or Windows 10 and there's no way in hell I'm using Windows 10.
@I_RUN_DEBAIN_STRETCH Agreed. Given that apple is basically just a wrapper on BSD and bsd is a *nix based os. couldn't you use those arguments to move to GNU/Linux
it's not like it will cost them anything as long as you can support and maintain it yourself
OS X uses a bunch of proprietary NeXT components and a custom kernel, along with other Apple bullshit. There are a few apps used internally at this company and they only work on OS X and Windows.
@I_RUN_DEBAIN_STRETCH Oh really? I was unaware. It is based on BSD though, isn't it?
It uses BSD components, but is not entirely based on BSD. Only the kernel and a few libraries are actually OSS.
ah, cool
still don't like the cook cucks
OS X isn't entirely bad, but the hardware is horse shit. I'm thinking about hackintoshing a T420 with similar specs because of the non-shit keyboard and matte display.
ThinkPads also don't dent like soda cans.
I run an osx vm on my workstation for malware testing
I use QEMU
but my expereince was SO tied into their ecosystem
as do i
I don't use iCloud at all.
needed something lightweight as I sometimes have a need for 10 - 12 vms on the go at once
no, i set it to ultimate lockdown
I don't want malware escaping the VM
Wasn't there a thing with malware made for Edge escaping a Windows 10 VM?
And infecting the host OS
