Raspberry Pi sours thanks to mining malware

tr1ck5t3r

Re: Bah!

Yes those expensive chips which can have their firmware updated coupled with CPU virtualisation is not the issue, if the malware can hack your bios, switch on CPU virtualisation and then load itself up before the main OS.

Probably explains why Stuxnet, Duqu, BadBios to name just a few names given to a suite of malicious code that exploits the unfiltered USB bus and direct hardware access provided by CPU virtualisation.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/01/intel_amt_me_vulnerability/

HD firmware updates some going back to the 90's http://files.hddguru.com/index.php

Bios https://www.coreboot.org/

Just how many lines of machine code does it take to inject a jump to load malicious code stored elsewhere in a system where most of its USB devices like printers with updatable firmware are always plugged in?

How much spare space is on a chip allowing for any future updates?

How can your Antivirus system scan for malicious code if its stored on the chips?

Have you got a bios which can not be updated from the OS?

Software or rather the OS is just one part of the problem when you can so easily update the firmware on your chips. Long gone are the days when you had to peel the label off and expose the quartz window to UV light to blank an EEPROM before placing it in an offline programmer to reflash it.

Sometimes convenience has its pitfalls!

Question is, who is behind this malware that targets so many cpu's using different instruction sets?

MI5 man to steer GCHQ as Trump wiretapping saga continues

tr1ck5t3r

Re: Are you sure?

The state spying of the population is true.

Until you get targeted you will be blissfully unaware of what the secret services get up to. Your school reports, your medical records, everything centralised by Govt, local Govt and some big businesses will be used to build up a psychological profile of you. Your TV viewing habits, your music tastes, the people you communicate with and your relatives will all be used to help the secret services justify their existence when they decide to target you and provoke you to keep proving their preemptive psychological profiling.

Just look at the memory stick death aka the police murder of Anthony Grainger.

Considering every memory stick has a unique id, and it happened to contain a list of police operations, informers and more, how else do you track down the individual who has highly sensitive files, other than use big tech giants to track it down?

Its all there in plain site, just how stupid do you have to be to accept the lies they put out because like others have said, law needs evidence which is why you can never trust a govt that operates in secret.

Can you imagine the public outcry if you knew the truth that Govt does spy on you?

Everything to do with the internet and technology is all designed to spy on you, do you wait until they target you or your kids or your friends before you believe it?

Govt is all about control, its all about keeping an eye on you, just like you keep an eye on your kids, and just like you lie to your kids about Santa Claus so the govt lies to you about the extent of its spying on the population.

When will you wake up and smell the roses?

GCHQ dismisses Trump wiretap rumours as tosh

Yes I keep being called a troll, I've got a nice photo of one waving at me from the Mozilla start page with accompanying text saying "Now seems like a good time as any for an important reminder. Never read the comments." Now how did they do that?

As to point 15, well considering my email servers & websites keep being hacked and taken down when hosted with major companies, been going on for years now, slowly putting me out of business and now currently I cant send emails, hard drives wiped losing decades of work, I have little other option than to post here. Its one of the few places I can post online. You see this ideology called the financial system forces people to take drastic steps, and theres this illusion about computer security, it doesnt exist, you all live in an electrical digital panopticon. You slept walked into it for your own safety.

So when is a troll not a troll, when its someone who doesnt agree with you.

As to the petition, I suppose you find it acceptable that people cant end their life in a dignified manner for what ever reason they choose? How selfish that you think you should control other peoples lives, forcing them to involve other people in often messy ways even when successful.

Just because rules exist, doesnt mean they are right, does it?

Why do scientists think they know best?

Why do they think they even have a right to study other people secretly?

Why do so many people choose to believe so many lies?

Are they scared to find out the truth?

Perhaps thats why Religion is so good, you can never find your sky fairy and perhaps thats why your smart phone with a camera on both major faces is such an excellent tool for keeping an eye on you, that alarm clock function is such an easy seller, some can laugh from a far when you get undressed. The best joke is you thought you had some privacy! What a sucker! ROFL.

So do you believe we are spied on or not?

Why do you choose to believe the narrative instead of forming your own independent thoughts?

Is it logical to preemptively target trouble before it gets out of hand?

Do you find the idea that we are spied on 24/7 harmful to your thought processes?

@phuzz

Not happy with Virgin Media then or your flatmate? Havent got any PC's to dust or users to upgrade to the latest M$ offering? Have you got the planned migration from Windows to Linux sorted yet?

Are you even soooo lazy & believing of your Govt that you dont check back for a response?

Thats right, keep kidding yourself you have not been spied on all these years because you have no way of telling that your smart phone is listening to you right now, watching your every move, because you werent good at physics.

I can see you have not put tape over your smart phone's camera yet, dont worry, most people are so lazy they only tape up their laptop and tablet camera's if they can even be bothered to do that, they dont think about blocking up their microphones or taping over their smart phone's camera's because it would look silly having a smart phone with tape over the camera's wouldnt it and who wants to look silly now? Dont be a Silly Billy, I'll protect your precious mind, the Govt doesnt lie to you, and the govt doesnt operate in secret.

I'm a dedicated follower of fashion...... I must have a mobile phone tracking my every move with triangulation that is hidden under the guise of cell phone load management software. I must use my payment card for purchasing. This electronic world makes you a sheep. Baah!

Because you like the convenience of your electronic world, online purchases, payment cards, mobile phones, its possible to monitor your every move. Do you really think you would be given toys that could not be used to track your every move? Change is subtle, use the earlier adopters to do the selling it lowers your guard.

Did you know your NHS medical records are online, in M$ dot net web systems? If you didnt, then you dont know much, but here's a clue watch the jobs being advertised with recruitment agencies, find out the clients and then ask yourself, if the Govt are happy to have your medical records online, then they obviously have total oversight of the internet coming in and out of this country. They dont just launch sub's to cut undersea cables in the Middle East for interception for the fun of it you know....

I'm curious why you dont want to believe that your every move is spied on with electronics? Is this like a religious thing, just like people espouse the existence of their sky faerie of choice despite no proof?

Story telling has been going on since Caveman times, only most adults have progressed from Lady Bird books to Religion, although I note a resurgence of Lady Bird books for adults, so perhaps we are still going backwards. Ah, precious mind.

You can never trust a Govt than operates in secret, its as simple as that. The fact big businesses also work for Govt and can use commercial confidentiality to hide their Govt contracts to help spy on you is just another trick. Journalists are useful for spying in plain site in your own country and abroad, you never get to see all the hours of footage made when you watch your news bulletins online. Next time you talk to someone beit HMRC, your GP, a nurse, emergency services & armed forces personel, just ask them if they had to sign the official secrets act? They might lie to you or you might get told the truth. Fact is unless you join one of these organisations or become a CEO of a top business, you will never know just how extensive the Govt spying really is. Just look at the latest TV ad's suggesting women could be working for the secret services, your own other half could be spying on you right now. Thats why you can never trust anyone, not even your own parents, brothers & sisters.

Re: Anon for reasons - Basically to avoid the SJW'ers

@wolfetone

You talk a compelling argument, I agree parents going ballistic is not the answer but thats their hormones, whilst also perhaps showing parents are actually viewing their kids as possessions, and are just treating them like a pet dog.

I see the reasons for using a filter, and a filter has its place, I also see the reasons for not having a filter, because of this simple fact: Would you like to educate them on the aspects of human behaviour virtually or for real in a chance encounter which could have increased life threatening risks?

Obviously there is a psychological risk to even virtual exposure like cyber bullying/sextortion/what have you, but there is a trace that exists which doesnt necessarily exist in the real world, beit the school playground, or around town, even though GCHQ would prefer to not admit this trace exists and is more detailed than you & most other people perhaps realise.

The reasons the Govt/GCHQ lie to you are for the same reasons, you lie to your kids about Santa Claus.

The UK have been spying on everyone since the concept of a paper based records was conceived.

I even caught them in the 90's spying and interfering with computer systems without a warrant, which is why section 56.4 of the snoopers charter exists. Every state controlled database is used to monitor you, beit your school reports, nhs records, "anonymous" std clinic visits, tax records, telephone records, DVLA, GCHQ has to gain access to each and every computer system not only here in the UK but in the world. The spooks even try to hack your mind using psychological techniques & chemistry.

The first trick is to convince the population the UK military adheres to its own laws when you can never trust a country that operates in secret.

Put it like this, if you dont have the intelligence, how can you nip things in the bud before they get out of hand?

Its only a compliance, kneejerk and gullibility test, the NSA already have access to your systems and everything about you. Just look at FACTA for examples of your bank statements being in US hands.

Re: Cybercriminals and open source exploit code

Ask yourself if any of your devices, beit an addon graphics card, HD, bios/uefi, can have its firmware updated?

If it can, then ask yourself if the typical default option in UEFI to allow virtualisation would make it possible to run virtual malware loaded via a shim in the UEFI, before the main OS.

I suspect Kasperksy may not have found the treasure chest, just a gold coin.

Even the NSA's TENS can update your bios/uefi and other malware if its connect to the net.

So you think by setting a user and/or admin password for your bios/uefi means your system is secure?

Once that password has been put in, can you update your bios/uefi from the OS?

Do device manufacturers and rebranders provide any software to validate their firmware?

Can you update the firmware of your addon graphics cards without having to short some jumper pins?

Can you update the firmware of your hard disk like a Samsung Evo SSD without having to short some jumper pins?

Sometimes your only clue you have been hacked is to watch the network lights and the hard disk lights when your machine boots up.

EG. If you switch on your PC and before it displays the bios/UEFI screen, you see a flurry of disk light activity, chances are your Bios/UEFI has a shim inserted, a simple couple lines of assembler, which directs your Bios/UEFI to another address which might be on your hard drive, or in your graphics card.

As these firmware chips always have space for future updates, its never detected. Has anyone checked the source code of their favourite Pen Testing distro and know what its doing?

So many people trust what they buy or download, they offload their responsibilities.

Who knows that BT & TalkTalk stream their TV & Film services over IPv6?

Simple test if you have one of these services, watch something online and then download something massive like a Linux distro from your computer over IPv4. Your IPv4 download will come down at max speed, provided your firewall allows IPv6.

Spot the anomalies and you cant spot the spooks, but they also play their games over decades, as it starts with your school reports and medical records, if not your parents or relatives if they weren't socially compliant and docile!

Tarred with the same brush springs to mind, in the name of Defence.

Who said Signal Intelligence was just hacking computers? Everybody is known to the spooks, its just they cant predict when someone loses it. Lets face it, most people cant even predict when they will lose it, so is it any surprise that the US is building a wall, and clamping down on illegals? Peoples education and upbringing can create cognitive dissonance which usually generates a lot of anger. Some Middle Eastern countries are not up to speed with the way the Western society works, as we see in German with young girls being groped in swimming pools as one example.

Resource Burn, its a valid technique when hacking, and lets face it, I know of no pen tester or AV coder who knows all the code in the software they rely on, hell none of you even know the code in your firmware.

Is it any wonder, millions of systems around the world are already pwned?

The important question everyone should be asking is, is it right that the Govt spies on you, using a variety of centralised databases and other methods from the day you are born though?

They are killing off the intelligent one's who can spot these things, which makes them no better than the terrorists, pedo's, rapists, drug dealers, killers or any other human action which has been made a crime because no one has a say over the laws you are born unto!

I'll reiterate what I have hinted and stated in round about ways before.

This is like verbal chess, perhaps I had already factored that in and gave the response to play your prediction analysis, ie see my comment on Russia violence and Psychologists.

Do you not think for one moment, the internet is like a massive data dump of human thoughts, waiting to be quantified by the militaries and educational establishments around the world. Lets face it, at no point in human history has it ever been possible to analyse the thoughts and actions of so many people en-masse, whilst digital equipment also able to give each and every person on this planet their own Truman show experience.

The spooks love hacking, do you not think hacking the mind is their ultimate hack?

"Hack the systems and nip things in the bud before they become a problem", isn't that verbatim one of the things I have said in the past?

So can you really say what you say with any confidence or reliability other than stating, so far I'm playing the game? Do I agree with the rules? Thats a different question. Having a vivid creative imagination is a powerful tool as many fiction writers amongst others will know, and whilst older and wiser people over the course of time and planning may think they have the upper hand as this technology has evolved and been rolled out, so far my suspicions are being confirmed, which is we are being spied on whether we like it or not! So experiments are poorly planned, some things are just too easy, some things are things normal (which can be read as average) people wouldn't do, even the development of less widely known phenomena exploited by religions has been an interesting form of obtaining data.

Do you want to know whats giving the game away though?

And yes I also remember a study whilst in the courthouse, but which study am I referring to?

Russia (A) bans web porn as a 'bad influence' (B) decriminalizes domestic violence – or (C) all of the above?

Re: Decriminalisation: Does this do the opposite of what you think?

I know one thing, psychologists using comments from media outlets like this to quantify and come up with new markers to spot psychopaths perhaps to develop & evolve the HARE scale should be kept busy.

http://www.hare.org/scales/

Pity they cant quantify the effects of our chemistry and lack of sleep along with the bias/brainwashing that has been conditioned into us during our formative years at school.

So many experts looking at one side of a multifaceted problem, is it any wonder some people cant see the wood from the trees?

You have a number of options, you can reduce your cholesterol intake which will reduce your hormone production but puts you at risk of experiencing Heart Disease if you don't exercise vigorously enough as the by product of muscular activity is vasodilation, making it harder for Foam cells from the LDL cholesterol fuelled innate immune system to stick to the inside of your arteries, whilst also increasing your risk of dementia as one of the hormones produced improves memory and brain plasticity.

Or you can find outlets for your hormones, safe in the knowledge the Russia is facing up to the mistakes of listening to do-gooder medical experts who thought they could control nature whilst dumbing us down en-masse. It doesn't help a lot of Russian live in confined spaces, just like Brits, so is it any wonder you will see violence when living on top of one another. Women are good at giving the verbal to wind people up, plus how many blokes are sleep deprived because of the way society works today not to mention they have to be more alert to fight off dangers, so whilst women and kids get better quality sleep, that instinct in men means they need more sleep as the slightest disturbance can wake them into action. If they don't wake from the slightest disturbance I'd even save they are already seriously sleep deprived, either way lack of sleep and stress adds to the level of violence, so its nice to see Russia standing up for men for a change, but they still need to make changes to help reduce the violence, or find outlets for the violence.
