LIFE HACK! ;^)

This is retarded. They didn't even actually exploit anything, just modified the compression program to insert a tailor made vuln. The code has to fit in ~140 letters of DNA because that's how many is read at a time. Good luck doing anything useful with that little. Maybe with newer sequencers that have longer read lengths you have a potential issue, but the solution is as easy as "use a better compression algo".

>>1026644

It's already all open source you retard.

Dumb bacteria living in donkey shit can hack humans so why is this surprising?

C sucks so bad that weenies have a hard time understanding that all software and programming languages were made by people. Every single instruction running on your computer was written by someone or by a program that was written by someone (recursively). Let's pretend that C was designed like a real programming language. It would mean the flaws were all put into C intentionally just so weenies could write bullshit "papers" like this and waste billions of dollars on bullshit because they're not smart enough to do any real research. Buffer overflows and memory corruption are to C as macros and lambdas are to Lisp.

If there's one thing which truly pisses me off, it is the
attempt to pretend that there is anything vaguely "academic"
about this stuff.  I mean, can you think of anything closer
to hell on earth than a "conference" full of unix geeks
presenting their oh-so-rigourous "papers" on, say, "SMURFY:
An automatic cron-driven fsck-daemon"?

UNIX weenies have sunk so low they've begun making poor imitations of my posts to mock me. Pathetic. I cannot believe weenies fall for such tripe. They can't defend their precious C anymore so they have to make up fake arguments to discredit my position.

Subject: why Unix sucks

Some Andrew weenie, writing of Unix buffer-length bugs, says:

Unix encourages, by egregious example, the most
irresponsible programming style imaginable.  No error
checking.  No error messages.  No conscience.  If a student
here turned in code like that, I'd flunk his ass.

Unix software comes as close to real software as Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles comes to the classic Three Musketeers:
a childish, vulgar, totally unsatisfying imitation.

BIOHACKERS ENCODED MALWARE IN A STRAND OF DNA

08.10.17 (Aug 10, 2017)

In new research they plan to present at the USENIX Security conference on Thursday, a group of researchers from the University of Washington has shown for the first time that it’s possible to encode malicious software into physical strands of DNA, so that when a gene sequencer analyzes it the resulting data becomes a program that corrupts gene-sequencing software and takes control of the underlying computer.

Unix hater. You bring both great enlightenment and great ignorance.

DNAs are quaternary, and computer codes are binary. So we can translate one into another.

This includes any potential attackers, who may not be willing to disclose any obscure yet powerful bug they come across.

That was actually an issue when Dick Cheney got his pacemaker. The model that was selected could be accessed wirelessly so changes to its operations could be performed without opening the chest cavity. The concern that a hacker could access the device and send the VP into a fatal arrhythmia was a theoretical concern at the time, and the secret service and other government agencies worked with the manufacturer to produce a secure one-off device for him. Several years later a hacker did reveal it was possible to interfere with devices that worked in a similar manner meaning the VP's security personnel were correct in their concern.

>Implying proprietary software is more secure

The more people know about a bug, the better it is, because you can fix it quickly. Not knowing about an issue won't make a program more secure. Think about meltdown and spectre - all intel(and almost all amd) processors made after 1995 were affected. It took over 20 years to find. Just imagine a cracker, that knew about these vulnerabilities back then.

Not having your doors closed, won't make you more secure, when someone presses it.

>How the fuck are Americans okay with these "totally coincidental" suicides happening all over their country?

It's not reported by any news outlets so 99% of the population has no idea it happens. Just like how in Europe there is mass rapes and stabbings the media just simply ignores it ever happens. This is the same reason blacks get away with commiting half the murders per year in the US (many black on white) and virtually nothing is said or done about it. The (((handlers))) make sure it's never heard of

>>1030848

That's as much of a coincidence as that pacemaker software being written in C.
