Can we take a minute to discuss the bonkers world of cyber weapons. With AI in the mix it seems like were approaching an insane point of no return in terms of the destructive power of these things. Most of the world seems to he neck and neck with the US having a slight advantage for now.Pic related NSA tailored acces operations hat. Pretty Kino logo.

>>65320103What are type of cyber weapons? Usually I just hear about hacking and the sorts. What kind of physical methods are there? Only I can easily recall is Stuxnet.>kino logoWhat significance does a phoenix have?
>>65322104>What kind of physical methods are there?Crazy shit you thought only existed in fiction, like sending a message that will cause a machine to actually physically destroy itself.
>>65320103Automation tech with OT specialization and general hacker shit as a hobby here."Cyber weapons" are a lot less flashy than they sound. Closest we probably got was Stuxnet, but that only worked because they targeted the specific Siemens PLC ecosystem the gas centrifuges ran on. Reality is that every factory runs on different PLC's with different levels of firmware updates.Unless you know exactly what type of machine you're targeting and how they work hardware-wise, it's basically impossible to make a generalized virus that'll make a machine destroy itself. There's a reason ransomware hackers only encrypt the data and don't make the computers blow up if the payment fails.>>65322190>sending a message that will cause a machine to actually physically destroy itselfYou can make a directional triple-antenna broad-spectrum jammer that'll make every remote controlled drone you point it at crash for a couple hundred bucks, but it'll also have every federal agency on your ass in 30 minutes afterwards, so there's that.
The vast majority of “cyberwarfare” has been wiper attacks caused by retarded Mobiks downloading files from emails and defacing websites. There are very few countries with any actual cyber warfare capabilities outside of Israel, China, North Korea, Russia, and America,.>>65322190>actually physically destroy itself Basically impossible unless it’s industrial systems ala stuxnet, and even then it was relatively minor compared to the digital damage that was far more extensive.
The main reason stuxnet worked is that centrifuges are extremely fragile and need to be perfectly balanced.>>65320103Do you want to post any information at all about these weapons or just how you imagine they are based on hype?
>>65322558Just shooting the shit. Im curious as to when will it get to a point where a cyber weapon will cause as much damage as a nuke.
>>65322528>>actually physically destroy itself >Basically impossible unlessHave you heard of Hezbollahs pagers?The next day, their Japanese radios?2 decades earlier some tampered samsung exploded the head of their general. (I dont have the sources on this)>>65322104>What kind of physical methods are thereCheck out the ANT catalog.Its a decade old tech.Amazon ordered custom made server motherboards. These had extra chip from China.The software space is open.Everything connected to the internet is accessible.Everything not will be ANT-ed by the NSA _and_ China.Norway ordered chinese EV buses. They had 4G datlink to china, with full system access. Cell operators can hope to filter malicious data. But if they use Huawei cell towers, they wont be able to. See the US-NATO ban on huawei cell towers.These buses can act just like the pagerrs, but selfdirve to main bridges and...>>>/g/cyb
>>65327244>Have you heard of Hezbollahs pagers?You mean the ones that were physically tampered with and had actual explosives placed inside?
You'd think 4chan would be more tech literate on average than you get people like (OP) to prove you wrong
>>65322528>Basically impossiblePractically everything that has a CPU in it that is less than around 25 years old can be remote accessed (if connected to the internet) and given settings to essentially overvolt itself to death.Your electronics will not explode, they will just turn off and not work again.
>>65327307>Your electronics will not explode, they will just turn off and not work again.They'll write random bits to your whole drive seven times and let out some magic blue smoke first though.
