Internet of Things and Us

[entruil]

Have been reading more and more stories of "Internet of Things" devices being compromised and being used as part of BotNets to take down adversaries.

'To Krebs, the incident highlights the dangers to free speech in the modern era. It's not just that it's relatively trivial to mount a censorship campaign, it's that the cost of defending yourself against that campaign can be prohibitive.'


I was curious what some more educated people on the subject have to say.

Does this highlight some of the dangers we are exposing ourselves to with autonomous vehicles? (Are our Refridgerators attacking our local foodstore to get us to goto walmart?)...

Also, with recent advancements of photon transportation, will this become less of an issue?

I'm sure I could of laid this out better. Peace.

Internet of Things botnets: You ain’t seen nothing yet (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/10/iot_botnet/)

SSSh*t just got real

Future IoT bots could use the web rather than Telnet (as used by Mirai), making it far harder for ISPs to block attack traffic. Using the web also offers increased stealth.



Huge DDoS attacks are about to get bigger: Mirai bots infect Sierra Wireless gateways (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/14/mirai_infections_sierra_wireless_modems/)

Mirai commandeers web-connected cameras, sensors and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices using the default factory-set login passwords in their firmware. It has been fingered for unleashing the largest DDoS attack ever, generating a 620Gbps stream against the website of cyber-crime blogger Brian Krebs.

Now US-CERT has issued an alert that cellular gateways are the next target. Five Sierra Wireless modems are named in the advisory – the LS300, GX400, GX/ES440, GX/ES450, and RV50 – and all are potentially easy meat to Mirai.

Easy solution, they tie everything together into a single centralized system, a quantum computer. Nothing would operate without a connection to it, nothing. It will monitor every device, computer and connection in the world, and in space. Not only electronic devices, but biological systems as well, they will all receive sophisticated transponders under the skin, already happening. Full and complete control by AI, of everything. http://www.naturalnews.com/050528_jade_helm_skynet_ai_robots.html

Lol, "it's possible" right in the opening paragraph. Why do you believe click bait so much? Stop smoking the faux.

You mean darpa? that's second paragraph. You didn't know that skynet is real? or so they call it. Or are we venturing back to the pre-snowden "right-wing conspiracy theory wacko's" era again? Even wired has covered this shit, I've linked it here in the past. You live ina cave? "waaaah click-bait" always the response of guy holding his head deep in the hole. Same old bs like before Snowden when I was saying they were spying on us, because I knew they could.

JH was a simulation exercise using AI, less known, but documented (as well as taught to NATO forces). What, you think one system is controlling satellites while the other is computing the best recipe for the perfect quiche? (totally unrelated?). They put all that stuff together, it's how technology has always moved forward, even since the invention of the light bulb. We take an existing technology, then another, put them together to form a new technology or an improved technology with greater capabilities.

As technology improves, as we break past present limitations, such as in computing power in this case, systems become more powerful and able to handle greater loads, to interconnect or even merge. Oh but they made a fun movie, right? so it can't ever be real in the slightest, right? zzzZZZzzz... zzzZZZzzz....

You don't know what an opening paragraph is. Stay rustled.

We usually start from 1, not 0. Your posts have been too dumb lately to rustle even a Chihuahua in heat :/

if u were actually intellectual on any level u would be objecting to the content, not its source
