Plus, it's definitely added to our lives in terms of the things it enables us to do; see them in part 5 of my IoT unravelled blog series. But it also remains a complete mess and I want to demonstrate why based on some recent experiences: Let's say you want an IoT light. With a different app.

In part 1 of this series, I posited that the IoT landscape is an absolute mess but Home Assistant (HA) does an admirable job of tying it all together. I've been directly involved in the discovery or disclosure of a heap of these and indeed, security is normally the thing I most commonly write about. Let's dive into it.

Fuzzing makes it possible to locate vulnerabilities even in “safe” environments like Erlang, a language designed for high availability and robust services. The flaw was discovered and reported directly to the administrators of Log4j, widely used open source tool, who then patched it. The trouble is, details of this leaked prematurely.

I want a "secure by default" internet with all the things encrypted all the time such that people can move freely between networks without ever needing to care about who manages them or what they're doing with them. I mean what's the remaining gap? In the end I broke it down into 3 Ps: padlocks, phishing and privacy.

The topics are going to be quite specific and if you weren't paying attention to the computing industry in the year 2000 I’m not sure how much of it will make sense. Terminals are still emulating a fancy VT-100 and sometimes they get messed up and need a reset. No fixes there. It is very much a letter to me! Yep, that's cool.

There are 20,000 or more new software and hardware vulnerabilities every year, yet only a few hundred might be actively exploited. It falls to IT security teams to determine where those vulnerabilities lie in their organization and which ones they need to prioritize. That process can be overwhelming. What are the Main Steps Involved in VMaaS?

However, it can be challenging to read these standards and understand how it’s meant to fit together. And knowledge of the token is how you prove your identity. (This post is nearing 8 000 words. If you want to throw it onto an ereader there's an EPUB version too.) The beginning: U2F U2F stands for “Universal Second Factor”.
