  • Leaked Senate encryption bill called 'ludicrous, dangerous' by security experts

    the average person believes their wifi password is used to directly encrypt wifi traffic. the average person believes the underlying encryption is stronger if you use a 25 character password versus an 8 character password. this is not true!!!!! the actual network traffic is encrypted using a 256 bit key that changes every hour. all your password does is tell the router you are okay to get the current key

  • Leaked Senate encryption bill called 'ludicrous, dangerous' by security experts

    in 2011 there were 489 million personal wifi routers being used in america. most of these routers all use 256 bit military grade encryption, called "wpa2 aes". and unlike iPhones, use a "rolling" key which by default changes every hour. at 3pm your wifi group key may be 3pW[+NrI$e8K1.1Qd[hYOX_P#I and at 4pm your wifi group key may be 9J@Z@AUnDgk=qVnS!N~6VX^E2vE(9Z)w these keys are disposable and never used again. if someone brute forces your wifi, they have to brute force each time interval separately. and because of this, i believe the senate should force link sys, acer, netgear to keep our temporary disposable keys on file to help the fbi investigate cyber crimes!!!! doesn't that just sound ludicrous ?? so how come wifi gets a get out of jail free card, but apple and google doesn't ? i think wpa2-aes is stopping the fbi form eavesdropping and requires a chip. its only fair if apple has to do it. not even the iPhone or the worst 4096 bit windows ransom ware uses disposable rolling keys.

  • Boston judge orders Apple help FBI access iPhone 6, falls short of forcing decryption

    decrypting the hard disk via brute force will take more then 200 years. try a 6.22 thousand trillion trillion trillion centuries!! that is why they want access to the passcodes. the key has 115,792,089,237 ,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,936 possible combinations.

  • iPad Pro could use much faster 29W charging, if Apple allows USB 3 Lightning cables

    being the only person on the internet that seems to know how to use macs to check charging currents of various apple devices is getting old.

  • iPad Pro could use much faster 29W charging, if Apple allows USB 3 Lightning cables

    has anyone tried the mac book pro usb 3.0 test ? macs put out the same voltages as iPhone and ipad chargers. I've been trolling about this for years... macs were designed from 2007 to charge your idevices at a higher current then standard usb 2.0 , and when the ipad came out, this was increased. a lot of people will argue about if ipad chargers will damage iPhones?? and i always tell them, well, if it was true, then they wouldnt of designed your mac to quick charge an iPhone 6. connect whatever device you want to check to your macs usb port click on the mac, click on about this mac ,click on system report , click on usb port, click on the device you want to read and the mac will tell you exactly how much current is flowing to your device. because usb 3 uses a new protocol for devices asking for voltages, its possible that the ipad pro would ask the macbook pro for that 29w charging current., and that macbook pro would deliver it. i don't own a ipad pro , so i can't check it. the only catch here is if you have a iPhone 6s or 6s+ device, you need to upgrade to el captain to get the full 5v @ 2100 ma current from a macbook pro. if you do not run el capitan , the 6s and 6s+ max out at 1000 ma. this is not the case with iPhone 6 and 6+, those will charge at 2100 ma on mavericks.
