Full disclosure: @leo administers the Mastodon instance I belong to, which is associated with the podcast network that is on. I'm a donor to the podcast network. Nobody asked me for a recommendation though.

Excuse me @leo please ask Steve Gibson :steve: of :sn: to find us a resource on how to disable internet connection or LTE capabilities in various makes and models of automobile. Asking for a friend!

For some cars there are probably ways to switch it off that you can find in the owner’s manual, or you can just not connect it to your phone or something.

@leo Regarding the Secure Time Heuristic issue, I'd think the requirement for that to be enabled by default would be that there is a validation that the server one pulls a timestamp out of the ssl packet from happens to be an IIS server.

On a (the most?) recent podcast, Steve and Leo maybe got confused about "consecutive letters" when talking about a bank's password rules?

I think they took it to mean 2 in a row, like "letter + any other letter". Like "ad" or "xg"

I took it to mean "letter + the next letter in the alphabet". Like "ab" or "lm".

Still a very silly rule, but makes a bit more sense maybe? The bank wants to avoid "abcdefgh" as a password, for example.

(Still a silly rule, though.)

I'm sooo happy that @SGgrc is going to stay on the podcast past episode 999! I was honestly dreading his last episode. He alone is responsible for getting me into cybersecurity.

The Centauri Rowhammer paper Steve Gibson talked about on 930 in which RAM hardware can be fingerprinted simply by writing and reading memory a lot and looking for unique patterns of bitflip tendencies in contiguous 2MB chunks of memory. No root permissions needed.

@leo and this weeks podcast, Leo and Steve discuss the very annoying low battery alarms that occur around your home. these often go off in the middle of the night and can be difficult to locate. being ., I employ audio direction finding techniques to track them down. Leo wants Steve to develop a chirp finder. I think this would be a great project. . .

@leo I heard you say on the latest :sn: podcast that you’re coming around to the view that the problems of outweigh the benefits. Welcome to the club! I have been on the “JUST BAN IT” train for years now.

Since "Crackbreak Weekly" always turns into a mini-telethon length show after a Crapple announcement, I knew right off, when it was still going on 5 minutes before was due to start, I'd have MORE than enough time to go watch today's "Eastenders" episode beforehand .
