/cyb/ + /sec/: Cyberpunk & Cybersecurity General

No they're not and no they don't.

Any leads? Also check'd

A lot of the news posted in the past had links to BBC.
Also searching Cred Forums site:bbc.com gives me about 284 hits.

After that news came from elsewhere. BBC has little interest in tech news beyond reporting what's already being covered and qualifies being bumped from tech blogs to a old media site. If you lived in the UK you'd know this.

No I don't have any leads. I have done the obvious searches on Google, Bing etc but wit no success. Still, Google gives different results to different people so others might have more luck than me. Also some might hopefully have a copy on their own disks.

I never said BBC was more than a news aggregator, still they do link to sources and use DOI. Many of the other sites are not so good and Wired has declined dramatically.

What news sites do you recommend then?

And I used to live in the UK but that is a while ago. I know many in the UK complain about BBC but much of what passes for news media elsewhere is far, far worse.

I guess most elderly are and have been cyborgs for a long time now. Many have
- hearing aid
- pace maker
- titanium hip and knee replacement joints
- metal fasteners after broken bones
- artificial heart valves (some use valves from pigs)
- artificial lenses after cataract operations

And I am sure I have forgotten a lot more.

Any cybersecurity majors out there? What classes are you taking this semester?

Thanks!

I was thinking mainly about things implanted into the human body. Personally I don't feel like I am becoming a cyborg when I sit in my car and turn on the ignition. Or should I?

Sorry! I just copied from rbtasia

Never saw this before.

Anyways, I think the opening collection could do with a major overhaul.

it depends on how you drive your car and what it is, most people treat them as appliances but a good driver will feel at one with the machine.

>a good driver will feel at one with the machine
Isn't that going a bit far? Comfortable, yes, but feeling as one with the car?

If you are a good driver with a good car

Oh man, you are really raising the bar here. Heh heh

Just watching a Countach video since I will probably never drive one myself youtu.be/WVp5a38WT_0

How many years of study will it take me to be an employable vuln analyst?

It really depends on the certs you get and job experience. A bachelors degree sometimes helps, but often isnt needed. Id look at job listings for this position or similar ones to get a good idea. Some positions require anywhere between 2 and 8 years in tech service, with some of those in information security

Spooky but not even close to what I've found ten years ago from a reputable source. Apparently human growth hormone black market was big and many rich people buy that stuff to make their kids taller.

I want to do research more than IT stuff. Which degree do I need for that?

So are half open SYN TCP scans safe?

CS is supposed to be more about the science and research than hands on programming. Then again, "research" means so many different things. My worst experience was in a very much former company where they were starting a research project. It made me interested. Until, that is, they clarified they meant reading the manuals. The former company is now also an ex-company.

Welcome to DIY genetic engineering

>Gene editing and Transhumanism are mutually exclusive

I'm never going to become rich in this field am I ;_;

Gene editing will probably be here much sooner.

Damn I need to make a lot of money fast so I can afford it and am not outpaced by ubermensch

I wish people stop thinking like that too

If you ask me, what I would love to see when I'm alive, would tbe medical advance in terms of easy peasy surgeries so the mechanical or merging with non human things will come easier and by itself since we have not to worry about compatibility or healing.

I hope we end up getting both honestly.

We need advances in biomedical research even for cybernetic implants, I know electronics look nice and shiny but actual bioengineering is the drive for everything.

Why would I uncheck it?

But you are right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One thing thou, in my opinion, at the low level the line between nanomachines and biological constructs blurs. Sooner or later one becomes the other.

I know this is th endgame, and I know a lot of cybernetics will happen before the level of nanomachines. Is just that at the end we benefit of things like synthetic biology so why not jump there right away?

>not sure the host wants SSH open
what? that's a standard thing even the shittiest hosting companies provide. if the host doesnt allow SSH then they need to move to another host.

I think I catch you. Well if you put it that way, nanos could arrive before the implants since they will help in a few fields which will improbe the surgeries, in example.

There's a bookmark in my Tor Browser,
that I don't remember putting there.
Hovering over it crashes X.

Yeah, cybernetics, as in flesh connected to electronics as the common folk imagine, can be defined in one problem: Computer to brain interface. The part exposed to cybernetics, most probably nervous connections, needs not only to not get infected by the material or talk to the damn thing, but also behave like organic material. It may not sound like, but I've just spoken about immunology in the above, which is about tissues getting along.

>tfw want to live in an aesthetic /cyb/ city but they're all in east asia
>tfw the /cyb/ life is just a dream

I live in Vancouver, it's the same architectural style and feel basically. Along with the poverty and inequality one would expect. It's as cyberpunk as I've found outside Asia.

Why not move to east asia?

vancouver is probably the most asian city in north america

apart from the ching chong signs it's really not that different in any large city.

It is. Also a lot of anti-white discrimination here which is making it hard for me to find a job.

I have all the credentials but nobody wants me. Once I get experience I'll move to seattle but I need experience to get sponsored.

Well, "we" didn't set it up, we just used what was out there.

>aesthetic /cyb/ city
Like Comfypunk?

Lived in Vancity for a year, what a shithole. North van is the only livable place.

North Van is actually where I live.

I feel a need to get out of here though, the city is stifling but the rest of the country is a frozen shithole.

The human body is the result of millions of years of adaption to, well, adaptability. We are not super specialised like most robots like a Roomba. And that is why a humanoid robot, while highly complex, can be used for everything from cooking to entertainment and cleaning.

Isn't this the city where Wm Gibson lives?

are hackathons cyb/sec? i see one every week but im not sure if they are worth attending. where are all of the real security events?

Vancouver may be more "Asian" but I'd give the nod to LA as the most /cyb/. It doesn't get any more dystopian megacity, dickensian levels of wealth and poverty than that. I say this as someone who has been to every city in NA with over 30,000 population other than Anchorage and the southern Mexican shitholes.

Sure. After all that is the quintessential "the street finds its own uses for things." Have a loog over at and perhaps . Ther eis also a regumar ham general that is interesting.

That one should of course have been the response to

>need to move to another host
Do you have another sFTP host open with read/write access?

>Comfypunk
A dystopia where nobody gets fucked up to the top and they all can live comfy because they earned.

PS: Said I earned because I don't want SJW shit.

That isn't really dystopic to me. It used to be the case in the US that hard work earned you success but closer inspection shows that the US middle class has in reality had no improvement in living standard for over 20 years. That is a lot more dystopic. And t seems to coincide with the rise of political correctness. Coincidence?

>And t seems to coincide with the rise of political correctness.
I don't think so. "You get what you earn" stopped working since getting a job by being hooked up was the standard, instead a rare thing.

>getting a job by being hooked up
Not entirely sure what you mean by this.

Anyway, when did this change happen in your view?

>the US middle class has in reality had no improvement in living standard for over 20 years
I realize we're all LARPing as edgy teens around here parroting each other but this is objectively BS. The composition of the middle class may have changed but the living standards across all classes in the US and practically everywhere in the world has improved over the last 2 decades.

Sorry, not my moother language. I refer to that kind of situation where do you get the job because you're a relative of the person who contracts you, from a friend to a son, so whatever. That kind of situation in a lot of fields has turnt into the standard making the only preparated people in disadvantage.

I couldn't say where it got the rule specifically, but I would say around the 90? I don't know.

>I refer to that kind of situation where do you get the job because you're a relative of the person who contracts you, from a friend to a son, so whatever.
Ah yes, nepotism. And yes there is a lot of it. last time I lost my job and had to look into these things I read that 80 percent of all job offers were never made public but rather were made through networks and personal connections.

>but this is objectively BS
I like when things are objective. Cite?

>through networks and personal connections.
LinkedIn is supposed to polish that rough, but I don't think it does that much.

The onus is on the original claimant to support his assertion. FWIW though, here's some subjectivity. I'm 40 years old and I've lived/worked all over the US and Canada in the last 20 years. People have more shit, nicer shit, better healthcare with better outcomes, longer lives, more consumer choice, ubiquitous communication and internet access, more fuel efficient and comfortable cars, better access to education especially via the net, and on and on and on. I remember 1997 quite well and I assure you 2017 is better in practically every way I can think of. Even things like AIDS which used to be a death sentence now is just an inconvenience. Hep C has been cured. That didn't used to be the case. 20 years ago, I had to leave the house to make money. Now I just run a bunch of affiliate sites and trade bitcoins all day and make 10 times as much as I ever did busting my ass. Life is so comfy in the first world, people now have to sit around and invent problems to be mad about. This is a golden age for people who can see it what it is. Or just sit around and be "depressed" and let others have all the fun.

>The onus is on the original claimant to support his assertion.
That's me. And here is one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-class_squeeze
Googling Middle class stagnation gives you a lot. You will find some claims the squeeze started more tan 40 years ago.
>FWIW though, here's some subjectivity. I'm 40 years old and I've lived/worked all over the US and Canada in the last 20 years. People have more shit, nicer shit, better healthcare with better outcomes, longer lives, more consumer choice, ubiquitous communication and internet access, more fuel efficient and comfortable cars, better access to education especially via the net, and on and on and on.
That is the result of increased productivity having continued while purchasing power has not.
>I remember 1997 quite well and I assure you 2017 is better in practically every way I can think of. Even things like AIDS which used to be a death sentence now is just an inconvenience. Hep C has been cured. That didn't used to be the case.
I can agree that medical tech is improving. Much is well under the radar for most people but I am grateful that at least some is generally visible. I just hope that people will one day understand the advantage of investing in R&D.
>20 years ago, I had to leave the house to make money. Now I just run a bunch of affiliate sites and trade bitcoins all day and make 10 times as much as I ever did busting my ass.
While I appreciate you have had success, that is a personal issue of a person growing up, moving up and reaping the results of education, experience and work. The middle class squeeze is more than that, it is about the entire middle class as a whole. Looking at a cohort ageing will be misleading.
>Life is so comfy in the first world, people now have to sit around and invent problems to be mad about. This is a golden age for people who can see it what it is. Or just sit around and be "depressed" and let others have all the fun.
I can agree with much about that.

Fair enough user. I'll look into it.

>Life is so comfy in the first world, people now have to sit around and invent problems to be mad about. This is a golden age for people who can see it what it is. Or just sit around and be "depressed" and let others have all the fun.

I'm agree with that (the Holo user) I don't know how the fuck people gets themselves involved into ALL of drama. I can understand some single issues, but the amount of drama nowadays is fucking unbelievable.

I like your comment about the golden age. Stagnation does not mean we have less, just that we do not get a share of the general growth in prosperity.

Looking back, bordering on nostalgia here, it could be argued that the 60's was a golden age. Growth was rapid and breakthroughs were impressive, from DR-71 to the space race. Then something odd happened. While SR-71 took just a few years to make operational the F-35 has gone off the rails and is a project dog quite in the opposite philosophy of Kelly Johnson. There are also many other examples. So what went wrong? I have no idea.

How does one get started with affiliate sites? I'm tired of wageslaving.

Way too many larpers in this thread

Make a blog a out some normie shit like sports or hiking or something. Post on it a few times so it looks like it has some age. Note this blog is just for show so they'll know you're serious. Then apply to any big ecommerce site like eBay or Amazon. Tell them you want to be an affiliate and show them your blog. They approve you and you get a referral id you can append to any page on their site. Now the hard part. Get traffic and direct them to whoever you're shilling for. I make a few grand a week doing exactly that. You can get traffic from twitter, facebook, your own sites, PBNs, you name i

Or just cookie stuff you pussy

Yeah right. Good way to end up in jail.

Wrong, you have to get caught, and it's generally not regarded as fraud, you just get banned from the program

In the main affiliate program I use, there was a case a while back with a couple of guys who were raking in millions cookie stuffing with a wordpress plugin they wrote. They both ended up in federal prison. I'm not saying it is highly likely since of course it isn't. But it is possible. Besides, I make enough with my current method I'm not tempted.

I should also mention, I make more day trading shitcoins in a few days than I make in a month with affiliate stuff so there's that too.

What technique do you use for trading now that it's a bull market?

Same one I've been using. I wrote a scanner and just sit around waiting for huge dips. I scoop the bottom and sell on the rebound. Works in bear and bull market. Made 40k this month which as you probably know was a pretty shit month for bitcoin up until this last week or so.

Yeah if you're making that much off it I can see why they would go after you, I was only getting 2k a month when I did it

...

oh god why the fuck is there that shit on the FTP, WHAT THE FUCK

Well, you tell me. I have no idea what you are complaining about.

It is. The dystopia is now.

That's not the world's fault, it's yours. Well, I guess you could blame capitalism, since it does, by necessity, create winners and losers.

They really don't.

How am I supposed to compete when people in the third world will do what I do for less than minimum wage

Go to a third world country and undercut them.

I have been there too. I spent too many years as a researcher. Little pay, short term contracts and had to move between each contract. No hope of settling and getting a family. Salary is better now that I went to industry but now I am used to calm and quiet home.

Anyways, while many *seem* to have a lot of money a surprisingly large part is financed by loans. Low interest rates have caused a gigantic loan buildup that is certain to end in tears.

Safe in what respect?

As with all attacks, you shouldn't be exposing information about yourself during the attack. This includes your IP and MAC address.

I feel so dumb trying to figure this shit out.

I have been there and in some ways I still feel the pressure from India in particular. The only way to survive is to makes sure you know what levels of service the outsourcers provide and do something different, preferably better.

The most important part however is to make sure your customers *see* that you do better. that is the only way to survive. Also keep paper trails when advising clients to make sure that any errors are not your fault and were made against your advice.

Looks like bitcoin just hit 11k again. Am I the only one who sees crypto having a huge /cyb/ factor. Every time I think about how much money I'm making (relatively speaking) on magic internet tokens that basically do nothing I can't help but marvel at the social dynamics that make it possible.

>The supervisor didn’t necessarily start out to ban delivery bots, he says. He first met with the police and other agencies about regulating delivery robots in some way but abandoned the idea. It’d be too hard to determine, for instance, how many are rolling around out there, and at what speeds, he claims. “The conclusion was that it didn’t seem very enforceable if we were to regulate it,” Yee says. “So for me then the regulation becomes they shouldn't be on the sidewalks.”

Seems someone got an itch in their eagerness to regulate everything in sight and got frustrated it would be hard to enforce. For such people it makes obviously sense to ban it all together, never mind that their economy more than others is founded on innovations.

Is it too late to buy some now?

It is a cellular automata that is designed and programmed to emulate a huge cellular automata. It is Conway's Game of life but on steroids.

no

I was thinking of picking up some ETH. Should I do that or BTC?

idk honestly I just shitpost

The short answer of course is no but here's the slightly longer answer. Crypto to me is like Linux. It may never be truly "mainstream" as in everybody is using it and calling it by name but it will be in the background powering infrastructure. And people will use it they just won't know what it is kind of like how they use Linux on their Android phones. And there will always be the diehards that know what it is, obsess over it and will nurture it even when nobody else cares. Crypto right now is Linux in 1995.
I've even made some nice gains since posting that blockfolio screenshot yesterday.
There is no way to predict which will be the winner or if it will be either one. I lean towards BTC since it has the brand awareness among normies, it's much easier to trade with, and it isn't as centralized as ETH is. That said, I would switch my hodl in a heartbeat if I felt ETH was stronger. Right now it's a toss up though.

I was thinking of buying $200 BTC and $200 ETH

I used to own like 10 BTC back when it was brand new but lost the wallet, I've always held off jumping back in out of spite but it is looking like the future now.

Got some issues?

I kept trying to use the .php automatic installer and it kept messing up, then I finally tried just setting up LAMP, configing the database and doing a manual install

I knew it. I asked you because I tried some time ago and I have the same fucking issues. Seems like I'm trying it again today.

I've tried piracetam, l-theanine, and adderall but by far the best nootropic for me is nicotine. I chew a 4mg piece of gum and for an hour or so, it's like my IQ goes up 20 points. Is there anything else you've found that can compete?

a couple of notes
on xeianal (the ubuntu thing dont know how it's spelt) the one command to install a lamp server didn't work, so I had to setup lamp on my own and secondly don't copy and paste the commands from his tumblr post I think whitespace or something messes them and they don't work properly so type them up
I'm starting a trial on phenylpiracetam and caffeine soon, the problem is a lot of it depends on your individual brain chemistry, best brain enhancement I've found though is 3 days weight lifting, 2 days cardio and cold showers

>best brain enhancement I've found though is 3 days weight lifting, 2 days cardio and cold showers
Saving it from page 6 to ask just, how?

I never tracked metrics but I believe it's been incredibly effective, honestly healthy living can do wonders for the brain as for the cold showers that's just to improve mood and decrease anxiety

That always has been hard to me to understand since I never ever felt the urge or had the good feeling to do some exercise and that kinf of thing. Thus, for me, would be like forcing me to do something, and have to wait (in your example) 5 days, to maybe, feel better or improve slightly my brain stats.

yeah, you force yourself for maybe a month then you just think hey, this makes everything so much better I'm never going to stop doing it

Not trying to shitpost your argument, but I never felt that about anything. Less, if we touch something that requires willpower.

I want money because I want to change the world with it.

I am poor(currently a student) but I grew up poor, and I've never cared much for simple material things.

No, instead rather, I look to use money to change this world in my image. I'm going to make what I want, happen, and it turns out you need quite a bit of money to do that kind of thing.

In a world of capitalism, money is an integral component to power, and I very, very much crave power.

I do agree with it, the content is wonderful, and the political context around his death is harrowing.

As for my own: I like this, nakamotoinstitute.org/crypto-anarchist-manifesto/

The date, is... wonderful. 1988.

Also, Satoshi Nakiomoto's original paper regarding bitcoin is a must. Cryptocurrency freedom is integral to the cyberpunk future.

I'd like to see that analysis. and eh, it is harsh, but considering he was only going to get a few months in jail, it was absurd really. I suppose we could call for mental health treatment or what the fuck ever. Blame the prosecutors, whatever, but at the baseline, he lacked the emotional strength to survive that onslaught, and instead killed himself.

How sad, he could've made a difference.

I could, but that would cost money. I'm new to this thing, just found this thread several days ago. I'm interested in why you all haven't done it already. It's not that complicated. Are you all just posers? Do you not care for security in a /sec/ thread? Are you all so poor that you lack the requisite hardware? Even amazon s3+Ec2 would be better than just some autist cleartext ftp server

>and eh, it is harsh, but considering he was only going to get a few months in jail, it was absurd really.
The prosecutor was gunning for a whole lot more than that. Wiki:
On September 12, 2012, federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding nine more felony counts, which increased Swartz's maximum criminal exposure to 50 years of imprisonment and $1 million in fines.[13][110][111]
So basically they were gunning for life imprisonment.

>I suppose we could call for mental health treatment or what the fuck ever. Blame the prosecutors, whatever, but at the baseline, he lacked the emotional strength to survive that onslaught, and instead killed himself.
My impression was that he was very intense and a bit high strung, like many artists are, and the prospect of 50 years imprisonment took him over the edge.

>How sad, he could've made a difference.
He already did in his short life. He felt strongly about his objectives and seemingly too strongly about his prospects.

Night is coming. Let's keep this one alive.

How would you promote a college club focused on infosec? There is orientation coming up and I want to try and pull in as many new members into the club as possible. Trying to balance targeting newbies and also students who have done pentesting, ctfs, etc.
Currently the plan is to show off our planned events, have some devices on display (shodan, kali etc). Further ideas would be much appreciated. I would have liked to do something like easyCTF but not enough time or resources at this stage.
I'd like this to be a respected club that actually teaches people real shit and helps people get interested in types of security.
Thanks all

Hot girls at the booth?

And 7.

I've read Accelerando, the Sprawl trilogy, Snow Crash, I'm familiar with The Culture, I've read Beggars in Spain, Dune, most stuff by Stross, Vernor Vinge, Rainbows End, Ready Player One, Daniel Suarez, The Golden Age, and other stuff I'm sure I've forgotten.
What's next, /cyb/? While I'm waiting on the singularity, at least I'd like to read about it. What have I missed?

most people at college just want to make $$$

Page 7 again and my last bump for now, take care anons.

currently doing this at my uni. We are focusing on organizing teams for CTFs and hosting workshops to help newbies learn the fundamentals. At your club rush have some flashy demo to get people interested. We made a wifi sniffer that would SSL strip and show your password onto a big LED display

Thanks.

>How would you promote a college club focused on infosec?
Aim for competitions, perhaps? A self taught guy just won around here.

>What have I missed?
The FAQ perhaps?

If not anything else, we could always do with contriibutions.

>A cyborg's journey

>Karen Sandler has been giving conference talks about free software and open medical devices for the better part of a decade at this point. LWN briefly covered a 2010 LinuxCon talk and a 2012 linux.conf.au (LCA) talk; her talk at LCA 2012 was her first full-length keynote, she said. In this year's edition, she reviewed her history (including her love for LCA based in part on that 2012 visit) and gave an update on the status of the source code for the device she has implanted on her heart.

A life critical part with a "life time guarantee" you cannot verify? It is not as if you can return for a replacement if someone plants a logic bomb into your pacemaker.

Crypto is one of the only fronts on which /cyb/ managed to fight back centralization, the rest - p2p file sharing, tor/proxies have pretty much collapsed.

Speakign of which, this one is rather intriguing:

=== /sec/ News:
>The tactics of a Russian troll farm
bbc.com/news/technology-43093390
>The key - and obvious - move was to hide the fact that these posts were coming from Russia. For that, the IRA is said to have used several Virtual Private Networks - VPNs - to route their operations through computers in the US. The operatives allegedly used stolen identities to set up PayPal accounts using real American names.

Clearly someone was able to trace the traffic back and even through the VPNs used. I wonder how. VPN for privacy seems dead.

>the Sprawl trilogy
How about the Bridge Trilogy or the other works by Wm Gibson?

If you like it weird you could try A Future We'd Like to See.

Radio thread going in

>VPN for privacy seems dead.
That's something I always wondered. I mean, it seemed too nice to be true. I feel somehow alike with the free DNS services.

The question remains, how did they do it? Traffic analysis of all incoming and all outgoing traffic? In that case every single commercial VPN provider is continuously tapped.

You're assuming that the VPN provider didn't offer any help, though.

>A self taught guy just won around here.
Any more info on that please? Would love to read up on it.

I thought the VPN providers deleted their logs immediately after use. Remember this is an analysis of something several months after it happened.

Of course, most providers could be fronts for alphabet agencies. That would solve the mystery.

I was checking the new again. Being the IRA, which means it is under Rusia handle, it won't surprise me if they did some obscure/non ethic practice to make some VPN provides give them the logs or something like that. I hope I'm not miss explaining myself.

I still don't get it.

At the time of the activities nobody knew what was going on. Thus it is unlikely that logs were secured at the time,. at least not under normal court order.

>at least not under normal court order.
Yeah this is more or less what I'm suggesting. Russia + uncertain VPNs is not a good trustable combo.

Been off /sec/ since last summer

What'd I miss

Expat in Hk here

It's pretty /cyb/

Weirdly not that technologically advanced though. They have so many people that there's literally no need to automate anything, it's pretty backward in some ways.

Shenzhen is /cyb/ in terms of the shit you can buy there, but other than that it's just another mainland shithole city, nothing to see.

Toyko is breddy good though, I'd recommend a visit

Yes thanks, it is difficult to read the output of packet analyser?

i've never done it before so i cant say. i heard wireshark is a popular tool, maybe you can start with that.

Anonymity has long died. What we need now is full blown eponymity. No one should be able to do anything online without having a verifiable ID. This includes employees of three letter agencies. This will end trolls and fake news and maybe we could have an intelligent discussion instead of hiding behind false anonymity.

if chinese companies get paid to hack western businesses, who's hiring to hack the chinese?

...

>Anonymity is dead.
But it's not though. If you want it bad enough.

>They have so many people that there's literally no need to automate anything, it's pretty backward in some ways.
Something similar happens in Japan, they overemploy people, like lift attendants etc. Yet the office automation is very old fashioned.

>Toyko is breddy good though, I'd recommend a visit
Agreed.

Do Evil AP attacks work still? Trying to test with my own network and my deviced connect to the fake open network but it shows the connection is offline and will not open the page I have setup via the dns service. Is this due to most operating systems getting wise to this issue? I mean I must be fucking up.

Never mind I figured it out.

Please tell more. Perhaps something for our /sec/ FAQ?

Quads of truth

If i have an aes128 private key is really brute force is my only way to crack it? If yes can I use it to decrypt intercepted traffic without knowing the pass phrase somehow?

I was studying old documentation. I forgot one of the biggest rules when it comes to cyber security. Everything is subject to change. rootsh3ll.com/evil-twin-attack/ is a pretty nice guide. I am actually interested in finding his WiFi pen testing book but the guy could be complete bullshit too. Grain of salt and all of that jazz.

Is this a reputable way to disable intel ME?

hardenedlinux.github.io/firmware/2016/11/17/neutralize_ME_firmware_on_sandybridge_and_ivybridge.html

it's all the javascript. really there's nothing wrong with it if you disable js or view raw.

even with js it's not THAT bad, just a little tracking.
