The Screen at Caesar’s was Attacked

Aug 27 2013

Caesar’s Place Casino in Vegas. Happened during Black Hat this summer.

Neat eh. When will you ever again see this?

Hi Black Hat

Jul 30 2013

I’m Keri, from Canada.

I run this blog, and am a full-time auto journalist with my country’s largest newspaper company, Sun Media; news, reviews, and a weekly column called, ‘Keri On Driving’, where I get to say whatever I want for 300 words.

I’ve combined the worlds a few times, columns that may interest you include:

– Let’s go War Driving – here
– Securing your Car in the City – here
– Computers in Cars – here
– Your Car can be Hacked, but Not Really – here
– Stick Families are a Terrible Idea – here
– and maybe this post – Went Armoured Car Shopping

Find me in a BlackBerry class (I tested both their new phones for TELUS), or in the car hacking classes, because I think it’s about to become a huge problem.  As you know, you could drive a new car off the lot with a 5 year old un-updated system inside, oh boy.

Also, a couple months ago, I had an epiphany, then made this prediction: BlackBerry’s QNX OS is poised to become the default software for all automobiles.  Wrote about it, and that article even made the cover of the paper, here.

This is my 3rd Black Hat, and if we’ve met before I’ve probably said the same thing I’ll say again now:

I am way beneath you in skills; a script kiddie at best.

This is likely why you’ve never come across the Security category of my blog; it’s better suited to like, your relatives.

– How to change your Router Password – here
– Don’t Name your Phone your Name – here
– Most Common iPhone Passwords – here
– My blog being spidered looks like this – here
– You’re responsible for Hotspot users – here
– Your screen can be seen 20 feet Away – here

There’s a hole in the internet for end-user security stuff, so that’s the goal here.

Plus fun videos:

Smarten Up, Internet – for the housewives of Iowa

Please don’t hack me. It wouldn’t be much of a challenge even, especially because this blog is held together by tape and popsicle sticks (seriously, the search bar doesn’t even work, nor the comments) (new site coming this fall).

Look forward to seeing some old faces and meeting new ones, and am always up for car talk (had the all-new Honda Accord HFP last week; took a VP of Ford Canada’s 5.0L Mustang GT through a flood the week before that; recently travelled to Hungary to test the all-new Audi A3 Sedan; and to Alberta with Ford where I off-roaded in their Raptor, and am now a huge fan).

FB – ugh, almost never

* – first time my last name has ever been on the badge, because despite sharing my life online since 2007, I managed to keep my last name offline for 5 years, and am part of the 0.0002% on Google, ha.

Mass Publishing for an Audience of One

Jul 24 2013

Sometimes if what I write doesn’t make sense, it was never supposed to, to you. I delete Tweets, posts.

Nooo, this is a regularily scheduled face-post for the Security section

That blog category is filled with drier photos, and I just needed a line of text to separate the two above.

Jokes aside, I used to hide messages in photos using text, but Google can read that now; symbols and gestures too.

A friendly reminder to edit your photos before uploading;
online editors are probably saving a copy of the original

How to do that here.

Can your Car be Hacked?

Jul 24 2013

Making the rounds in the news are stories of cars being hacked, but how difficult and probable is it?

Usually, some level of physical access is required.

Read it online at Autonet.ca.

Favourite line:

Yes it’s possible, just so long as the attack team includes an elite hacker, probably some level of physical access to the car, a likely a surveillance team tracking you to coordinate the attack. It’s expensive. 

Plus the last paragraph, which is the big point.
