You can never trust a computer:
1. When you use proprietary software, there's no way to find backdoors in them
>Use free software
2. When you use free software, there can be bugs and also well hidden backdoors
(read Trusting Trust)
>Write your own software then
3. The library you link to may be compromised and even the compiler may add something malicious.
>Don't use the libraries then and write everything in assembly
4. The assembly code you write will use system interrupts, which again can have malicious code.
>FUCK YOU WRITE EVERYTHING IN MACHINE CODE
5. You can't trust the ISA of a CPU, because it may contain hardware backdoors which make machine instructions that you call do something malicious except the operation you wish them to do.
>DESIGN YOUR OWN HARDWARE FROM SCRATCH AND GTFO
6. Then you will have to fabricate your CPU somewhere and there may be an enemy agent injecting modifications to your CPU in the complicated fabrication process that has many steps.
There's nothing to save us, /g/. Information security doesn't exist, we're doomed.

Anyone?
I remember /g/ used to discuss botnets all the time, what the fuck happened?

>implying open source software doesn't have the same backdoors
They just change those snippet's text color to transparent.
>>52963456
Damn that looks cozy as fuck.
>>52963361
but it never existed?
Maybe with analog equipment, but thete was no encryption as strong as pgp, so?
Hardware security (big steel shed, vault) is still best!
>>52963487
Turns out the botnet was good in bed, and seeing as the majority of /g/ are virgin autists, they just let the botnet fuck their boi pussy
>>52965246
> majority of /g/
wtf?
I thought the majority of /g/ were arch using ricers + gentoo (i know both of them are meme, so frog?)ebin

This one is true. Does anyone have the link to the article someone wrote about Intel doing this?
>>52963456
This thread didn't work out because it was one of the millions iShill vs Lagdroid or other futile threads.
>>52965291
>>52965291
Why do you think arch users / ricers aren't virgin autists. Don't they go hand in hand?
AMD is your friend. Literally no backdoors.

It's from a cozy thread. I don't have any /g/ pics at the moment.

Inconvenient for photos, audio etc.
>>52964718
yeah...

You're right.
>>52965320
Adam Waksman wrote a phd thesis about hardware backdoors in CPUs, it's available on his homepage.
>>52965422
Because they sold their HQ, so they really have no doors, no windows, no anything. Good point.
>>52965505
Have you verified that your hardware firewall's integrated circuits really do what they should?
>>52965512
It's inefficient as fuck to process important information using such hardware.
Anon go put your tin foil hat back on and sit in the corner.
>>52965731
fuck no! i don't have a corner!

Thanks senpai. Actually only had the picture, hadn't seen the film but it's pretty sick dude.

Just move your mouse to the corner of the screen.
It's the same thing for autists.

reverse engineer it

well write your own then
>3. The library you link to may be compromised and even the compiler may add something malicious.
welp
>4. The assembly code you write will use system interrupts, which again can have malicious code.
well yeah but so what
>5. You can't trust the ISA of a CPU, because it may contain hardware backdoors which make machine instructions that you call do something malicious except the operation you wish them to do.
I haven't seen an ISA slot in years didn't PCI replace that shit wasn't it only 8 bit or something
>6. Then you will have to fabricate your CPU somewhere and there may be an enemy agent injecting modifications to your CPU in the complicated fabrication process that has many steps.
are you crazy designing a cpu is very hard
I'm sorry what was this thread about and who am I quoting

Oh.

/v/ everybody

Use proprietary software. Windows 10 and chrome and shit. Embrace BOTNET. We join them.
Do not be afraid. Assimilation will start few centuries from now.

I don't care about your stupid code, though.

If you would like to join the other 99.9% of us that don't have some conspiratard bullshit plugged up our assholes, we will be constructing cities and fusion reactors in the time being.

Or you can just blacklist the botnets on your connection

Well, you can verify that an instruction works as intended. If you know what a CPU does, you know what your software does as well. This also applies for more complex mathematical routines.
You can for instance create a crypto routine and verify its output. If it's correct, you can expect it to work correctly everytime.

Intercepting traffic on a hardware level is really easy.

Except if the hardware you use to intercept is corrupted too.
