sissjdb··on Serious flaws in the way Samsung phones encrypt key material in TrustZone
Nintendo famously has the worst security of all the console manufacturers.

That there are still no good attacks for the xbox one speaks volumes.

Haha. You’re bringing up tech from 20 years ago when we’re discussing modern security measures, aren’t you very clever.

What hardmods do you know of for current gen consoles? Even the previous generation mostly fixed all public hardware based attacks.

This is standardized hardware that would be a relatively soft target to build tooling against, yet modchips are essentially dead because the attacks are just far too difficult.

I too read the entire request, it’s unnecessarily rude of you to suggest otherwise.

Shutting down root nameservers inside Russia would not impact Russian citizens ability to resolve domain names.

This is incorrect, RIPE is absolutely incapable of denying anyone access to the internet.

This is ridiculous. International news don’t live under .ru, nor do many of the independent medias like MEDUZA.

Bill might be a smart guy, but this is a big time brain fart from him. Everybody makes mistakes.

>USA is currently bombing somalia.

This is bordering on dishonest. US is supporting the legitimate Somalian government against a terror group famous for it’s attacks on schools.

You could sort of compare this to Russia supporting the Syrian government, despite their legitimacy being questionable. This is something they have hardly faced international criticism over, beyond downright war crimes.

Physical access does not imply easy arbitrary code execution.

Consoles are largely protected by the same technology, how often do you see people achieving code execution on them by tampering with the hardware?
