Good faith security research means accessing a computer solely for purposes of good-faith testing, investigation, and/or correction of a security flaw … Read More “The Justice Department Will No Longer Charge Security Researchers with Criminal Hacking” »
I just don’t think it’s possible to create a hack-proof computer system, especially when the system is physically in the hands of the hackers. The Sony Playstation 5 is the latest example: Hackers may have just made some big strides towards possibly jailbreaking the PlayStation 5 over the weekend, with the hacking group Fail0verflow claiming … Read More “Hacking the Sony Playstation 5” »
Apple’s NeuralHash algorithm — the one it’s using for client-side scanning on the iPhone — has been reverse-engineered. Turns out it was already in iOS 14.3, and someone noticed: Early tests show that it can tolerate image resizing and compression, but not cropping or rotations. We also have the first collision: two images that hash … Read More “Apple’s NeuralHash Algorithm Has Been Reverse-Engineered” »
Interesting research: “Who Can Find My Devices? Security and Privacy of Apple’s Crowd-Sourced Bluetooth Location Tracking System“: Abstract: Overnight, Apple has turned its hundreds-of-million-device ecosystem into the world’s largest crowd-sourced location tracking network called offline finding (OF). OF leverages online finder devices to detect the presence of missing offline devices using Bluetooth and report an … Read More “Security Analysis of Apple’s “Find My…” Protocol” »
