Iraq insurgents 'hack into video feeds from US drones'
-
Click I'm surprised this happened, but whats really surprising is this: "The hacking was possible because the remotely flown planes have an unprotected communications link." :wtf:
If everything was not true, would it be not true that everything is not true? So by saying everything is not true, you are automatically denying that everything is not true. Useful links:

It wouldn't surprise me to find that one of the clauses in the Predator RFP was "use industry standard video streaming protocols" or some such rot. Even if the contractor who built the thing pointed out the security vulnerability, they were probably told to shut up and build the damned thing already.

Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Fold With Us![^]the Predator was built using off-the-shelf components, though they are still $15,000,000 apiece. the problem's not limited to Predators, however.

Heard that the iraqi insurgents used a piece of software worth $26..[^] like WTF...thought there was supposed to be such a thing as a secure com channel?!?! Especially in the military... :omg: :wtf: Tom
#define STOOPID #if STOOPID Console.WriteLine("I'm stoopid!"); #endif

Welcome to the new American Defense System. Crap built by the lowest bidder because they are still running VB6.

When did they upgrade?:confused: Back in my day, they objected to hpl because it used lower case letters. Well, to be fair, it might have been due a little to my programming methods. Apparently Navy QA types object to programs that modify themselves at runtime.

Oooh! I'd forgotten about self-modifying code - it must be twenty years or more since I last wrote any of that! :laugh:
