#Microsoft used its #AI-powered #SecurityCopilot to discover 20 previously unknown vulnerabilities in the #GRUB2, #UBoot, and #Barebox #opensource #bootloaders.
GRUB2 (GRand Unified Bootloader) is the default boot loader for most #Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, while U-Boot and Barebox are commonly used in embedded and #IoT devices.

#Sicherheitslücke #Photovoltaik System: Die Technik zur Gewinnung von Solarenergie ist alles andere als cybersicher - das aber ist kein branchenspezifisches Problem, sondern knüpft an die generelle Problematik unsicherer #IoT-Devices an, dass die Hersteller beim Markteintritt im Wesentlichen nur auf die Funktionalität, nicht aber auf die #Cybersecurity achten. Die Auswirkungen können aber aufgrund der Anbindung an #KRITIS deutlich schwerwiegender sein:

blog! “Why do all my home appliances sound like R2-D2?”

I have an ancient Roomba. A non-sentient robot vacuum cleaner which only speaks in monophonic beeps.

At least, that's what I thought. A few days ago my little cybernetic helper suddenly started speaking!

I've been developing a MQTT GUI client called MQTTy (the name is not very original but I needed the word MQTT in it). That will help me and hopefully help others, to develop, test and debug their IoT applications that utilizes the MQTT protocol.

It's written in Rust, completely free software, licensed under the terms of GPL 3.0 or later versions.

Currently the app does not hit the MVP stage, so there is a lot of work to do to reach it.

Hey #Brisbane #IoT folk i have a client for whom I’ve designed aquaculture sensor platforms (target market is legal ). He’s seeking a freelance frontend-but-fullstackish-and-iot-savvy person to work on the server-side customer interface. Prefers to meet f2f so Brisbane area for preference. Would consider other AU states.

i have a 84505R Liftmaster garage door opener and they've fscked with the MyQ API so much that i can't use #HomeKit via MyQ and need to go with a #RATGDO device or similar, but because my opener is a 84505R and therefore has a "yellow learn button" (lol?) i am told i need An Adapter but not what Adapter that might be.

this is the hanging chad of my #householdIT that persists and i am determined to figure it out without buying a new opener. and you can help! if you have any ideas lmk #iot

blog! “Review: WiFi connected Air Conditioner”
★★★★⯪

Summer is coming. The best time to buy air-con is before it gets blazing hot. So, off to the Mighty Internet to see if I can find a unit which I can attach to my burgeoning smarthome setup.

I settled on the SereneLife 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioning Unit. It's a small(ish) tower, fairly portable, claims 9000 …

Jedes Produkt ist nur so sicher wie seine Einzelteile: Am Wochenende wurde eine #Backdoor in einem #IoT-#Mikrocontroller entdeckt, der in geschätzt mehr als einer Milliarde IoT Devices verbaut ist. Und weil der Chip nur 2 EUR im Einkauf kostet, wird er auch in so vielen Endgeräten verbaut. Mit der Backdoor ist es u.a. möglich, sensible Daten abzugreifen, Geräte fernzusteuern oder #Schadsoftware zu verbreiten - Security by Design schaut anders aus:

This is why we can't have nice things.

Sincerely disappointing.

86.000 #IoT Devices - eines der größten #Botnetze der letzten Jahre wurde durch Researcher von #Nokia ausfindig gemacht: Vor allem sind Netzwerkkameras und Netzwerk-Videorekorder betroffen - meistens Devices, die einmal in das Netzwerk gehängt und nie wieder aktualisiert werden - geschweige denn überhaupt jemals richtig vorkonfiguriert wurden:

I'm ready to pay extra to get a dumb device. I believe I'm not alone in this stance.
