Why, oh why does this device have to be connected tot he public internet? That should be a big red flag. and the answer should not be "because we can".

There are a fair number of internet connected sex toys (or anti-sex toys?), and the answer is so they can be controlled over the internet.

I wonder if for some people, getting their dick ransomed by a stranger on the internet is part of the fetish.

Does the BDSM have a subset who are into chemical castration? I mean... if they'd do that, I have to guess there could be some.

These IoT sex toys are terrible due to their insecurity, but perhaps they can be an interesting way to play Capture-The-Flag games for those who are into it. Someone should design some games for them. For example, a crypto CTF game takes control and locks your chastity cage at the beginning until the server receives a response signed by RSA, to free yourself you must derive the private key by exploiting a padding oracle vulnerability in the RSA implementation or using an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in server's input handling code. Of course participating should be consensual with a safe word, and the difficulty should be reasonable within the participants skills.

Wait, that isn't a feature?

With a safeword, sure.

Quick! Signal for the Lockpicking Lawyer!

Crap, now I am going to have to fire up a VPN and private browsing window to google how a chastity cage works.

It should have a feature that if someone locks it and cannot unlock, it will unlock after a long period of time, for example, 3 months, to make it safe to use.

If so the poor guy will be happy instead of sad to see hacker's information :)

I know nothing about this, how does it stay attached to you such that there is no way to remove it?

Well, don't ask me how I know this, but these things attach via a ring around your junk and stay on via the gap between the "tube" and "ring" being too small for your testes to squeeze through.

You /could/, obviously, just cut the damn thing off, but then you'd risk injuring yourself, and nobody wants to put a hacksaw near their dick.

I remember hearing about this a few months ago. Did it happen /again/?

There's no way to escape this contraption when it's locked?

Yeah, with a small screwdriver.

See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54468207.

Isn't that kind of the point?

Sure but you'd think there would be at least some safeguards, what if the battery dies? Or perhaps there's a weakness in the mechanism that can be exploited? Or perhaps just a bolt cutter?

Boltcutter, yes. Or a welding torch

I’m shocked people actually use these.

It’s a different kind of sex toy that will shock you, this one just locks.

Needed more penetration testing

That's hot!

There was a bunch of articles warning about this back in October of last year.
