iot was a great idea, good job, guys! 👍
This is your daily reminder that the "S" in "IOT" stands for "Security."
Why is everything internet connected? Oh yea, I want my stove top to beinternet connected - statements I wish I could say have never been uttered.
BTW, yea, we got a new stove top it had a WiFi sticker on it 
WHY. It came with a paper where they had printed licenses, I didn't look at it too much, but I saw "openbsd", WHY IS MY STOVETOP RUNNING OPENBSD SOFTWARE 
At least it isn’t running windows. 🤷♀️
Probably ships with OpenSSL and/or OpenSSH. Buying a cheap CH341A programmer off of Aliexpress is a lot of fun because you can actually dump the firmware from like 95% of these things with a $5 tool and poke around/reverse engineer them and do some fun things with that knowledge.
If you learn how to set auto start and stop timers, it defeats the convenience of an app. Shit really isn't that hard.
The counter revolution will probably be accompanied by the government killing every spouse or parent of someone too busy to cook on a thursday by blowing them up right after popping in pizza pockets.
Plot twist, the attackers are Kias
Kia KIA by kia
at IKEA
Classic Kia.
A couple years back there was a thing where you could hotwire some Kia models just by jamming a usb plug into a thing on the steering column. Glad to see the brand identity still going strong.
that's how my car got stolen!
when you take the ignition protector off, there's a small square piece of metal that you can put a USB plug onto, or just use a set of pliers or something. then, simply press in and turn like an actual key, and presto, you now own a car.
It didn't necessarily have to be a USB plug, that was just a convenient device because it was the right shape and size. A large flat screwdriver would work just as well.
Yeah, it was just Kia cheaping out by not having an immobilizer. They saved at the very most $100 a car(probably more like $40) by skipping a basic security feature invented in 1985.
Still very much an ongoing thing that they will face basically no repercussions for
me, sweating in my hyundai 
Back in the day there was a key that you turn and starts your car. Easy to steal. So manufacturers created keys with 4 rows of pins in the ignition. Hard to steal if you don't know what you're doing.
Then they moved to inductive transponder keys. Also not really an issue, but not as reliable as the older style keys.
Then some sick fucks said "why not make the transponder on the FUCKING KEY FOB" instead of the car itself which has a giant lead acid battery with millions of amp hours and here we are 
Oh great, this totally won't get somebody hurt or killed. Good job, guys!

We call them The Kia Boys around here. I have a buddy that has been a victim twice.
