Interest about that hack, denial of service nerd.

They had smert thermostats and stuff involved.

 

I've heard all this connected appliances will soon be the new back door

I've only a layman' perspective but...

The Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) targeted one of the major Domain Name Service (DNS) providers. This service converts host names like www.google.com to IP addresses like 123.123.123.123 which is what the network gear needs to route data.

 

The attack itself was not complex: send a specific DNS query fast enough and it overloads the system. what made this attack unique was the volume. DNS is old...like one of the cornerstones of the Internet. As such it is distributed and designed to handle a hexadecimal shit ton of queries.

 

My understanding is that This attack used a query that is small but hard to distribute. This allows the attack to pinpoint a specific area. The attack also used a huge number of nodes. Usually these are PCs that have been infected with malware. This time it was devices attached to ur internet. The arrival I read mentioned DVRs and WebCams but it's possible that other things were involved. I read that devices with a particular chip from China were targeted for use. This chip had a hard coded user/password.

 

The nature of the attack was such that devices only needed to be accessed and not necessarily infected to be rolled into the Botnet. Owners would not know they're devices were involved.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By Tunaman · Posted

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
