| Why is it "dark web" nothing is wrong about posting it online, using it in general may be USC 18 1029/30 in USA but Why is there so much politicatization and bait click of dark web stuff, it's still internet. |

| Because the original hacker is selling the firmware for 1000 USD on dark web marketplaces. It's literally being sold on dark web. People call everything "dark web" but this time it's correct. |

| ▲ | gear54rus 6 days ago | parent [-] | | So what's the search term for it at least? This stupid gatekeeping while racking views and hype from it is getting on my nerves. | | |
| ▲ | mbirth 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | From the comment under the article and the link to the YouTube video, the firmware seems to be called “Flipper Zero Unleashed”. Seemingly available via Telegram. | |
| ▲ | boneitis 6 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Assuming it doesn't do anything else magical, I don't see much point in dignifying it with a web hit, let alone finding out its name. It's odd to throw in the dark web, thousand dollar firmware bit when third-party firmwares are developed in the open and have long ago already implemented KeeLoq, but I guess they aim for sensationalism and shock value. | | |
| ▲ | boneitis 5 days ago | parent [-] | | So to follow up on my misconceptions, the RollBack attack it is based on is now implemented on underground firmwares and is what is novel. The research itself too is fairly novel and was published in 2022, capable (at least, on paper) of rolling back the cipher state on the receiver, preventing de-sync (and is the crux of why this submission is amazing). The prior RollJam that I thought this was dates back to Samy's 2015 findings. It turns out 2015's RollJam (unlike RollBack) requires active interference and seems to necessitate the attacker being in the vicinity of both the remote and the receiver. |

| I'd guess that the original firmware author posted in on some hidden onion forum (aka darkweb), because they are actually stealing from cars. |

| Sound like it’s newspeak for repurposing the word “internet” to a UK or China style of regulated censorship |

| ▲ | kube-system 6 days ago | parent [-] | | The term "darknet" is actually older than "internet". It was first used to describe networks that were isolated away from ARPANET. |

| governments are not so enamored with the “just posting code” defense, especially anymore. look at the recent Roman Storm case or what happened with decss back in the day |
| |
| ▲ | rafram 6 days ago | parent [-] | | Roman Storm didn't "just post code." He created, and profited from, a service used by criminals (including the North Korean government!) to launder stolen money. Of course Storm argues that Tornado Cash is decentralized, but you can't just start a mafia branch, hand out free shares at the mall, and then claim that you actually didn't commit any crimes because you have 10,000 other voting shareholders. | | |
| ▲ | whimsicalism 5 days ago | parent [-] | | Publishing a contract is basically just posting code. You are saying the primary distinction is the governance token and thus financial benefits accruing to the dev? |
