    Healthcare. Where they pay for a “solution” that has a completely separate software and system independent to everything else on the network, while also being given access to everything. Usually with very poorly ran IT departments. This is going to get far worse. I’m genuinely glad some of that money being extorted from “clients” is going into someone else’s pockets.

Espechially because back than they had a huge problem with criminal elders. Nowadays some say jokingly they want to be arrested because the police men are so nice.
      Just look up "Die große Polizeireform" and "Das Oma-Problem". They are old reports that showcase the severity of the situation back then with public crime and how they solved most of it.

    Hey unrelated to this video but i got a question about chickens and i know you have some
    So menards has a chicken coop on sale, says it can hold 8 hens, its insulated/heated i think, has the fence bit for them to be in the grass but still safe, etc. like a full on coop. Its $250 as a sale price.
    Is that a good price for a pre built one? Or is that kinda sacrelige to get prebuilt? i dont really know how to build a coop anyway and i dont want my mistakes to lead to dead hens. or is that a too good to be true price i should be suspicious of?
    Thanks :)

    • @MentalOutlaw

      It really depends on the square footage and how well insulated it. Is this a coop you'll keep them in full time? You should really consider building your own and think outside the box a bit if you know how to use tools. The great thing about chickens is they don't care much about "home decor" you can use scrap wood, reclaimed wood, all kinds of ways to build a coop. It doesn't have to be straight, plum, or flush just keep them safe from predators and the elements, and of course a place to lay eggs for you :)

      Just go out and price compare. Chicken tractors are movable coops which is useful. Do a bunch of research on homesteading, regenerative agriculture, permaculture. See what you think will work for you. If you are doing a backyard set up you will need something completely different than a bigger space.

You can actually see the old HTML if you view source. It makes sense that a non-critical and frankly boring task like that is pushed down through the bureau layers onto some intern, yeah.

    • @ra2enjoyer708
      @ra2enjoyer708 10 месяцев назад

      Supply chain attack. Basically you release a new version of the existing program but with malware embedded and everyone depending on it gets the malware. It's way easier to pull off in a proprietary environment (aka medical field) because in there, especially on windows, it is customary to embed all dependencies in the final binary and therefore the only guarantee from dependency pollution from the vendor is "trust me bro". Past that point only an overly aggressive and intrusive antivirus maybe can help. Windows already has it built-in in the form Windows Defender which, by complete coincidence, acts like a mitm + botnet and requires system-level privilegies.
      The trick relies on the fact it is expected for installer to have super user privilegies and make arbitrary http calls, which, in context of turing-complete languages, means you can do absolutely everything during installation/update:
      - start up a web server to have back and forth exchange with another web server on the internet. A basis for any botnet.
      - add said server as a persistent process to run in the background.
      - download/install/uninstall/start/stop any other program in the system, including antiviruses. For this reason Window Defender operates on system-level privilegies, which are a step above super user, and can only be disabled from GUI. I am not even sure it can be even deleted from the system. This is why btw every piracy torrent begs to turn the antivirus off manually.
      - can read and write to almost any file and folder on your system, including encryption-related keys. Coupled with a running web server it means it can exfiltrate your credentials.
      - run console commands available on the system. A subset of controlling the programs state with important difference is it can interact with them fully. I.e. create a dump of the database, add/remove/change existing users on the system, query all data from system APIs. Obviously requires more complicated code to handle but has an added benefit of getting raw data from otherwise encrypted sources, such as when the program encrypts all sensitive data at rest. This is the basis for any rootkit logic.
      - a subset of previous point, when all hope is lost, you can run a memory dump and, coupled with a running webserver, send it over for further analysis. Doubt it is widely practiced in the year of multiple GBs of RAM and therefore instantly raising suspicion when trying to send them over a wire. But it is possible and had an added benefit of exposing secrets without knowing API of every single program in the system.
