It really depends. If you know your competitor and understand their core business, then opening garage doors can actually screw them up.

I am working in an industry where if one competitor would go open source and created decent open application, whole industry will effectively implode because end customers will always choose cheaper solution, which in case of open source would be for free.


That’s true of quite a few industries though, but it takes insider knowledge to know what to build.

So they burned through weapon stockpile and also through zero day stockpile. Good job, another strategic success which will help in war with China...

Sounds like very cheap monitor which had lot of cost cutting done on side of protections of inputs.

I would not be surprised that touching such monitor will electrocute you.


You can consider obscurity as concealment. You can't be attacked if you are not seen. And to be seen attacker needs much more resources to see you.


Actually decoys are very useful in Ukraine Russian war. It is usually decoys of air defense or long range precision fires like Himars and target is to waste resources of opponents long range fires which are limited and/or expensive.

Further more you can also reveal position of the attacker and counterfire.


If your system gets locked (I.e. ransomware) and you have secure boot active, then you are out of luck.

See Apple M chips which if they get locked you will never unlock them again.


This is not a real vulnerability though.

Malicious compliance in its most beautiful way, concise and lethal :) <3


The original ESP32 has Ethernet as well, I believe in the form of RMII. Then it has been removed from the chip, never specified the reason.


Or instead of React you can use native WinUI. So using React is just lazy bloatware introduction


Yeah, spark of engine is something what can be seen on SIGINT for dozens of kilometers.

So unless jet engine is used (which rarely is on reconnaissance drones) then the drone will be spark lighthouse in the sky.
