not sure where to post this, but if you haven't see 'Zero Days', you should watch it sometime -a mind bending 2016 documentary on the Stuxnet Virus.
Well, since that, things have progressed, and cyber warfare seems to be escalating. And then there's this:
Israel appears to confirm it carried out cyberattack on Iran nuclear facility
Shutdown happened hours after Natanz reactor’s new centrifuges were started
follows the Solar Winds shenanigans in the US last year.
Crazy times we live in

I think I've talked about this before, but the coolest WTF aspect of these state sponsered malware programs is the fact they are getting onto air gapped computers.
Now that could as simple as good old fashioned sneaker-net spying, or something bizarre like sub human hearing sound from computer to computer. Guess we'll find out in 50 years when these things are declassified.

A few years back - I dived into a rabbit hole about security and encryption, when I started looking into why a basic call to a linux "/dev/urandom" call was sometimes taking seconds, minutes even. And discovered it was a bizarre algorithm to generate a "random" value - using a key based on the number of files in /tmp... lots of files - poor performance. WTF.
But then - read up on the alternative modules to do the same... which rely on a pool of "entropy" - patterns of keystrokes at the console, and servers with microphones reading ambient noise - to form the "key" for "random" number generation... and how these weren't considered secure/random enough - because "enemies" could estimate the noise, etc. So some agencies had gone so far as to install birds in their server rooms, to generate more random noises - in order to generate more random keys for the encryption keys. And... at this point, I gave up, returned to the real world, and just used some other module, and problem went away.

@bones Fucking hell, that's terrible
Yet none of the others lose their shit. One guy has the slightest of smirks but I feel like he's just so happy for bongos guy finally getting a break.
"Wow. In a way he preformed two Nirvana songs at once. He preformed About a girl while having an Aneurysm"
Favourite comment so far.
