Another month, another way to smash Intel's SGX security. Let's take a closer look at these latest holes...

Intel Core i7-0850H ?

Not 8850H ?

I have the same problem with the guzs at [e-mail] .

Too lazy to follow up after 3 unsuccessful attempts.

The time of BBSes

Had a batch that was pinging a my class C network (without myself and reserved addresses) with a modified ping including the +++ATH string. Suddenly download speed increased. Wonder why.

Did not read all 2xx comments so apologies if somebody pointed at this first:

HP Laserjet is waiting on an open port and prints on the display whatever string you send there. So no need for PCL language.

The UK's copyright landgrab: The FAQ

International treaty vs national law

If I am correct, an International treaty beats a national law.

So, if I am not under UK jurisdiction but my work will be used in UK under the "unknown copyright holder" clause, there will be a a contradiction between the Berne Convention, which protects my rights, and this UK law.

UK signed the Berne Convention.

Does anyone know what will happen next ?

Why are Android anti-virus firms so slow to react on Carrier IQ?

Potential uses of Carrier IQ

An application that has access to all data, but does not actually "use" this access. Looks for me like the dream of enforcement agencies - functionality is already there "just in case". When they say "jump" CarrierIQ just asks "how high?".

Is CarrierIQ functionality remotely trigger-able ? Can new functionality be added remotely to it ?

Would, in a "police state", an application like CarrierIQ be mandated by law in order to ensure access to encrypted user communications is available on request ?

If the above is true, would that slow anti-virus firm reactions ? ;)
