The only chance they have is if you do a phonecall (voice over IP) and they crack it's encryption

Also, I think MAC address randomization is standard on phones now

The WiFi Access point only cares about your IP and MAC

Rewarding?

The only thing I want to get rewarded with when Google searching is knowledge 🤔

On the subject of AI, currently I'm dealing with an incident response.

The ChatGPT thread deals with the SQL component of those who signed up to my Gitea instance recently, can't be bothered waiting on and/or researching that. I am not a DBA and I won't pretend to be.

The GitHub issue deals with the public impact of this, what operators should look out for, and how they can react (including outside of Gitea's confines and into the shell).

It's fascinating to me how software developers are so hyperfocused on their code, and nothing outside of that. And in terms of incident response, it's interesting to me how even more advanced threat actors are still using somewhat bog-standard utilities provided to them.

My time in, uh, how do I put this... Ethical hacking groups that like Emacs? ... groups, was by no means wasted in the end.

I think it's coming from old age, they grew up with technology in a different timeline to ours. Where everything was public, private networks weren't yet a concern as they are now. Trust basis, individual machines hooking up to the network of networks we call the early Internet. Things were different then, and it's difficult to let go of the past. Like in emails, where the prevailing standard for text-based (i.e. not HTML) is still 80 columns per row. It stays compatible with.. literally the physical TTY interface, serial monitors.

Why is internal dns a bad thing lol

Geeks Chat

11 May 2025 19:22

Oh, definitely. Hah, just the other day I sent an email out to someone (one Andrew Sullivan) who brought the idea of "everyone should register a domain and use that if they want to use private DNS" to a mailing list I'm in. The delegation of .internal as a domain for private use being.. degenerate. It's one of those old prevailing beliefs that I believe to be rooted in that elitist nature.

That isn't sent as part of the packet headers. They would have to know that your MAC address is associated with that phone number by means of some other info

Could the owner of a wifi access point get the phone number of a connecting user's device without them having to provide it?

I think so too. It's been like that with IoT as well, and many tech bubbles like the PC, media player, smartphone, ... wars. Or even Internet bubbles like the .com boom. Outside technology, maybe the housing bubble, COVID-19's toilet paper? Fads be fads I guess, technology being prime real estate for it on account of being so foreign and advanced.

When it comes to drawing, I tried getting it into those people's heads... Guys, I would love to create using a pencil (brushes scare me, ink cannot be removed!), but I'm too much of a perfectionist and I have a (now resolved) tremor that prevents me from even drawing a straight line! But that didn't stop the idea from persisting.. that "anyone can draw".
