packetized··on Netflix Stole My VHS Cassette Photos for Its Stranger Things Boxed Set
I'm not sure I understand the point of your comment. Could you expound?
packetized··on Yubico announces tiny, cheap YubiHSM 2
4096-bit RSA keys, for one.
packetized··on Infineon RSA Key Generation Issue
Update to this: I submitted a photo earlier with both of my affected keys, and I just got an email back with a coupon code good for both keys, with free shipping.

As bad as this might have been, Yubico seems to be doing a top-notch job of covering their customers.

packetized··on Infineon RSA Key Generation Issue
Unfortunately, since I had previously overwritten the factory OTP configuration, I had to take photos of my affected Yubikeys, including my email address in the photo. A bit longer, but still easy enough. Now to wait, and hope they don't deny my claim (despite having ordered them directly from Yubico in April of this year...)
packetized··on Infineon RSA Key Generation Issue
I use this functionality on a near-daily basis, and received an email from GitHub this morning informing me that two of my older, backup SSH keys generated on Yubikey 4s had been revoked. I'm going to start the replacement process with Yubico this morning, and probably share my experience with it here.
packetized··on The impossible dream of USB-C
This doesn’t address your issues, but the Yubikey 4C Nano is absolutely stellar. Zero wiggle, and (so far) no fitment issues.
packetized··on Equifax Argentinian portal secured with admin/admin
Sure was up last Thursday. Cached results are being scrubbed from Google. The point I'm attempting to illustrate here is that someone appears to have had a PHP web shell on a force.com endpoint.

additionally, the twitter account claiming responsibility (@real_1x0123, on friday, sep 08) for the webshell/compromise just protected their tweets. this will turn out to be much more interesting than it has been thus far.

I'll be concerned about $SNAP when Instagram is used in lieu of texting.

Make no mistake, this is going to be an even greater period of uncertainty for current SYMC CA customers over the next six to twelve months.

packetized··on Build a burner phone with Twilio and Kotlin
I think that the disconnect here is that this isn't a "burner phone" the way many people think of them, but rather some sort of call/SMS firewall.
packetized··on Hackers Are Targeting Nuclear Facilities, Homeland Security Dept. And F.B.I. Say
This might be the most top-heavy title I've ever read, given the economy of words. "Hackers Are Targeting Nuclear Facilities, Say Homeland Security Dept. and F.B.I." would be much more balanced - or am I just off my rocker?
packetized··on Prometheus vs. Grafana vs. Graphite – A Feature Comparison
Agreed. Grafana is great as a single-pane-of-glass solution for viewing a variety of stats/logs data, but doesn't actually handle the behind-the-scenes work of collecting/storing them...
packetized··on A query had to go
That sounds like a recipe for disaster, if that's the only thing you're relying on for input validation of #{id}.

packetized··on Network Protocols
I think you might be conflating MTU and frame size - IPv4 MTU (L3) can be up to 64kB, whereas jumbo frames (L2) can be up to the stated 9kB.

If you really want a fun time read about bipolar encoding & bipolar violations in T1s/E1s, which were once a source of much consternation to me - in a former life.

packetized··on Stripe Sigma
Perhaps a dumb question, but it's not completely obvious from the demo - is there an API for this?
packetized··on OneLogin suffers breach–customer data said to be exposed, decrypted
That's the one. I remember reading it in 1991 or 1992, and just having my mind blinded by the whole story.

packetized··on Dog sits on the editorial boards of seven international medical journals
I view this in the same territory as the earlier article about Daryl Bem and the replication crisis - scholarly research has bit of housekeeping to do.
packetized··on Little Things I Like to Do with Git
I'll add a couple of my favorites, as well:

    glog = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset'
    stash-all = stash save --include-untracked

packetized··on Exploring the Militarization of US Police Forces
The 1033 program is a donation (permanent loan) from the DoD to the individual requesting agencies; the spending involved as described by the author does not actually represent money given by local agencies to the DoD, but rather value written off by the Dod.
