It sounds like this is more or less equal to android's "ADB"? > “There are several ways someone could do this. An attacker could change the BIOS configuration (for example, with a use of a Flash programmator) when they hav

I'm surprised to see this is the only comment mentioning leaving a bowl of food out 24/7. This is how it's done at every shelter I have volunteered at (and how I do it at home) - the cats should always have access to water an

It's public if you poke around enough, I wrote up a little blog post: https://medium.com/@chairface/how-to-steal-an-audi-71d53cb5d... you'll just need the contents of the 95040 eeprom on your ECU - you can du

"Hard drive from junk shop found to be from an old facebook server" I do wonder how digital archiving will work in the future. Hopefully something better than "the archive.org volunteers decided to archive it"

I'm not really qualified here (and if someone is please post) but I've been poking around with the ECU on my 2001 audi and it doesn't seem to have ECC memory either. A section of the AM29F800BB eeprom is used as random-access

Wow, main page 500s and pretty much everything else just fails to load. I wonder what bit the dust, you'd think a full-site failure like this would require a chain of bad things to happen!

Yep, I thought this was general knowledge. Here in the northeast we have "PBA Cards" which can be given out by police to friends/family/donators that you are supposed to hand the officer with your license if you're
