There is a difference between people hacking lights and trying to blow up your oven
Right and the existence of one proves the possibility of the other
The trick is to be very careful about what you add wireless functionality to
i was pretty sure you couldnt even make shit passwords. arent they all like 64 byte or something? Now the access to the admin commands on the router is a different story but for that you first need to have access to the network overall.
Hell, doesn't even have to be ravemode lights
Imagine you can check the status of everyone's lights on a whole street
They can still be bruteforced
Most people don't even move beyond admin/admin lol
How easy will burglars have it now that they can see when nobody is home
House 3's lights have been off for several days, time to loot their shit
Saying that security doesnt evolve
It only evolves if and when people buy into it
And currently it's evolving with the same faults
If it becomes any sort of problem people will buy into it and the devices may very well adapt them also
The fault is inherent in IoT, which is that things that weren't network vulnerable now are
You're adding a whole dimension of security issues
@Existence is identity well it can be bruteforced. but at current levels of technology the sun will be a red giant before thats done at wpa2 for instance with 63 charackters
Not everything is wpa2 though
Brute force isn't even necessary at this point
Phishing and using defaults are still surprisingly effective
must be different over there then.
Hey normies. I'm back.
Yup
over here, the admin access to the router has default values, but the wpa keys and such are randomised and printed on the buttom of the device.
They've been doing that more recently here
Because the average consumer will not come up with a good pw
true
Most routers still have the static wpa
A lot of those same companies want to control all your routing shit though
In the future that will probably change though
Though if you want something secure you may have to buy from switzerland with all the backdoors the government demands in places such as the US.
Government backdoors are dumb
yeah
Who tf voted those in
a PR company just hit me up
asked for off the record confirmation
Probably wasnt even voted tbh
wants me to delete tweet about womens march nazis
