‘Your Cock Is Mine Now:’ Hacker Locks Internet-Connected Chastity Cage, Demands Ransom

Turns out giving an internet-connected device control of your penis may not be the best idea ever.

The issue is less IOT and more the cheap slapping in of IOT without proper security. There is a great defcon video of a hacker talking about hacking a smart buttplug.

 

 

[Mr.Vic20]

The fact that the product in question was not named "Cock Lock" is the real crime here! 

[Littleronin]

Between this and the Smart Buttplug, I am going to chalk this up to areas of our life were we really don't need "smart" devices to be in the first damn place.

But then how will we Cyberpunk?!

Easy. With AOL Instant Messager.  

I mean, what is the point of even cyberpunking without the struggle of getting A/S/L out of someone.

Except that it was virtually guaranteed that IOT devices wouldn't have proper security.

What if it was called Mate Lock?

Yeah people need to take these IOT devices and shove them up their ass!

That said I'm getting an IOT toaster oven so let's see how that goes

You can now play Doom on a toaster - Not really, but close

Programmer and YouTuber Vexel has hacked his toasters to be able to work as in-game controllers for the original Doom - is it real?

This has been said too many times, but is worth repeating. The “S” in IoT stands for “Security”.

Ironically you’re targeting the people most likely to be aroused by this.

I've just begun planning out and developing my own smart home devices using Raspberry Pis. This means my devices will be backed by Linux and I'll be able to establish my own security as needed. It also means I can fully customize how I want my smart devices to work. And it will all just be plain fun.

 

If anyone is curious, my first project that's starting to get off the ground is building a "smart clock" which uses a very different way of presenting time, calendar, etc. information. Long-term, I'll be evolving it into my own kind of Amazon Echo, and if I can manage it, I'll give it a personality closer to GLaDOS because that's way more fun. I'll be open sourcing it and sharing it if anyone else cares.

I have no fucking clue half of what you just said, and I thought I understood technology. I need to get up on this before I get even older.

 This will probably clear most of it up.

I got a Raspberry Pi and am using it to share an external hard drive on my local network. But I know fuck all about setting up the security side and had to turn on SMB 1.1 to get my Windows machine to be able to connect to the samba server, which is also a security no-no apparently. I want to set up a pi hole but I feel like I'd fuck up the security somehow for enabling my phone to use it from anywhere.

[Jason]

Like, the Pi doesn't even show up under the Network pane in Explorer even though it's apparently supposed to, I had to manually type in \\raspberrypi to find it.

I'm not a security guy either, but when you control the networking software *and* the network, you can customize exactly what is allowed and on what channels. You can even encrypt your data transfer directly to other known systems with only locally stored credentials.

I set up one using the pi zero, it was less then impressive. Most sites are on to it so you end spending a lot of time constantly updating it.

That sucks. The other thing I'm considering setting up is a Plex server but I have the same concern about how to access it securely while away from home.
