The reporters published a YouTube video in which they went undercover to a security convention (ISS Europe), and requested information about how the product works, some usecases, etc. [1]. Although, I don't recall the presenter indicating anything about leaked sample data...

> iDrac and how they wantonly reprogram the SAS hba.

Wait, you've had the SAS HBA be reprogrammed by the iDrac? Does it happen just randomly? I've mainly got experience with the PERC controllers, not much with the standard HBAs

No, bad grammar on my part. I hate both the old idrac and it's shitty Java, and outdated pki certs, and, I hate dell's random reprogramming of the hba logic to suit their own model. They take the perc which is simply an lsi card, and do their own firmware which removes things like simple hba.

> You are not a programmer unless you’ve written key-debounce code :)

I've had to do that once, and I still consider it a blessing from Satan above that I both a) figured it out b) it worked every time (plus bonus C: explained the logic to better students in my class)

>It made sense to me at the time.

Any reason to self-host copies of something digital always make sense ;)

> The US should (...) investigate themselves.

"We have investigated ourselves, and found we did nothing wrong." Obviously ignoring the CIA's involvement with drug trafficking, Big Pharma and politicians' friendships with them, lack of accountability in nearly every medical board...

Thanks!

Thank you for linking directly to the relevant study! Definitely helps us all. :)

This sounds really cool! Do you know of any other similar projects?

It would be awesome to walk around the room in Bletchley Park, working on the Collosus (apparently the name of the computer Turing & Co. made during WWII [1]) in a simulator game. Now put it in VR? REALLY cool.

An Analytical Engine in UE would be more fun. Here's one that runs in a browser, but without the graphics.[1] There are incomplete 3D models. Nobody seems to have made a full working 3D model, though.

Colossus wasn't a general-purpose computer. It was a key-tester, like a Bitcoin miner, running through a sequence of patterns and testing for a match.

> In many other EU countries DNS-based blocking of various piracy sites is just standard procedure by ISPs, so courts aren't even asked.

Jeepers, I had no idea that it was this common for piracy sites to be blocked :/. Here in South Africa, I haven't had issues with torrents since uncapped ADSL became common, nor any piracy sites blocked.

Ah, brilliant! I asked on a subreddit (I believe 'Tip of My Tongue'?) because I was trying to find a word that describes this.
