that's just it... any vulnerable system lets them get their nose in the door, then the camel starts snooping around the tent for whatever it can get. Eventually, they find away to something juicy.

The thing is, whether we're talking about digital or physical security, the weakest thing in any system is the humans. The sloppy passwords (c'mon it should have been Louvre25! lol.) is a human thing. clicking that phising scam is a human thing. kipping off to the egyption bedroom for tryste with receptionist is a human thing.

the simple password isn't the problem. The people being complacent is.

Biblical justice is literally not equal justice for all.

foreigners could be taken as slaves, women were somewhere between the indentured israelites and the chattel slaves. (closer to the chattel slaves, if we're being honest.

Oh. and we all know they're not following biblical justice anyway, because they're not in jail. And they certainly don't stone their daughters when they have sex before marriage.

At least it wasn’t the default password.

I’ve known clients that have never removed the default admin account, with a default admin password… and looked at me like I had a horn growing out my ear…

Usually, there's a network for IP cameras, with a central server holding the video. There's then, usually, a firewall to anything outside that, and frequently just a hardline to a monitoring system. (another computer with lots of monitors, typically.)

Most modern systems can VPN to the firewall and run a client there via remote desktop, and then access the monitoring system that way; but the server itself is not.

As to the complexity of the password, typically there's different levels of permissions. The basic ones would just let you monitor real time, probably review recordings, and maybe rip those recordings. (but not change settings, or otherwise delete anything.) A place like the Lourve would have multiple guard stations connecting in on the local network; with dozens of guards watching cameras at any given time; and would each need their own account/logins if you wanted to make the password actually complex.

a large part of the problem is just the sheer amount of people that would need to have acounts- the lourve says they have ~1300 'reception and security' staff. (for the record, reception would also be part of the security envelope... though they probably wouldn't need the password.)

anyone dialing in from off sight would likely have their own password (and have elevated permissions to allow that.). Frequently, by remote desktoping into a system on the local network.

You'll also notice theyre not saying the security system was actually compromised- even if the cameras were pointed the right way, they'd still have gotten in and out because the windows were a point of vulnerability. They might have been able to respond faster, but they were in and out in ten minutes. a camera wouldn't be able to stop that, if you account for normal human reaction times... if they'd even notice the 'contractors'.

I’m sure his coworkers have meat sandwiches exploding at point blank range all the time, too.

Somebody get the luminol and check for fluids in their office…

Those uniforms are polyester and probably treated with enough teflon/stain block to keep a sharpie from being permanent.

I’ve worn similar hard uniforms (different color, same supplier, probably. There’s only like 3.) and mustard doesn’t take, even if you’re a dolt who lets it set in.

All that to say; there’s no need for him to do more than run it through a normal wash.

… Do you think they will let me play on the field with that? Lol

that would depend on whose field, how far away from people you are and how "serious" the match is. Tournaments? lol. no. guys mucking about? maybe.

As for the rest of that... same. same. probably my favorite aircraft is actually (technically) a thermal airship. I used nichrome wire to heat it up. I say technically because Buoyant Bob is basically a giant floaty beachball that passes out candy on Halloween. (I may have used a nano MPx rotor for his propeller. I'm sure I just offended some heli snobs, but it's vectored thrust and he waddles through the air)

You got a source on that there bullshit?

Facebook doesn't qualify. neither does twitter. Nor does the 2 Pump Chump.

Here's mine. And some more. oh look, some more

mostly just eyeballed it. to be honest, the nozzle/water tank were both pressurized to about 50psi, and it didn't take a lot of accuracy. I used a pump-and-spray canister that I made a new top for, to take a pneumatic line coming off a pancake air canister as the charging bottle.

the nozzle itself was at the end of boom that could point straight down (it could elevate between 0 and -90 degrees,) (the line to the nozzle was just the flexible hose coming off the weed sprayer normally.)

The hardest part is dealing with the constantly changing CoG as you spray.

If I hadn't already had the big boi, I'd have figured something else out, but i did, and it worked well.

As for noise... its' a freaking huge helicopter... so yeah. it's noisy. it wasn't a gasser though, so there's that. (It was a homebuild thing that happened because my hobby shop had a deep clearance on the rotor blades and hubs- the disk is 1m,)

if your goal was hitting flock cameras, I'd recommend strapping a paintball marker to a 250. (or a quad if you prefer, but I'll save that rant for elsewhere.) just stay away from systems that go through the internet or are made by companies that 'automatically' register you for a sUAS license with the FAA. They typically nark. (Especially DJI.) And a lot of those systems will frequently prevent you from flying in "sensitive" areas, even if it would be otherwise legal.

you saying I'm misunderstanding something doesn't make it true.

As it stands there's 2 situation in which imigration could lead to criminal charges- one is re-entering after deportation. This really doesn't happen. The other is entering at a place or time not designated. This also really doesn't happen. (The people crossing the border are being "caught" by Border Patrol officers because they sit down and wait to be caught, and then invoke their right to seek asylum. something which is legal.)

neither of these are happening. Immigration court isn't even able to try a criminal case, because immigration law is not criminal law.

if this turns out to be true, I will hate you.

in the mean time, this got a chuckle.

 

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..
