@neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org How the fuck will AI know what the drunk local in distress is referring to when they call in and use local descriptions for locations and you're rural enough that geolocation of calls sucks rancid ass through a straw?
Sorry about the language but really not sorry at all, AI for 911 is *stupid*.

@meganL@mas.to @d1@autistics.life No opinion on the accuracy of the book or the person's status as a creep, but in general it's ok to consume media produced by creeps as long as you do so 1) with awareness of their failings and 2) from a library vs from giving them money.
Lots of people are in the Epstein files because he actively, conciously, continuously worked to get power and blackmail over others. He was a deliberate corrupter of innocence. It's important to remember that.

@utf_7@mastodon.social @glyph@mastodon.social they're saying don't harass the original poster. It's a basic strategy to not punish people for growth and development away from bad ideas. The current "I told you so" mindset of the world is *incredibly* toxic.
Replying to
@oddhack@mstdn.social @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz I think that a lot of the erasure of women's roles in tech history may come from men recording history who have discomfort in acknowledging their own needs, and some have discomfort in acknowledging team contributions at all. I think guys getting emotionally confident and comfortable leads to more accurate history and representation.

@datn@xoxo.zone @meganL@mas.to @d1@autistics.life my man. If you insist on your own personal definition of moral purity in your media creators, you severely limit your studies. If you want to only consume ideas generated by perfect people, have fun - but if you're outraged that others still like the works of Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke, you need to re-evaluate where *your* moral compass is pointing.

Replying to
@oddhack@mstdn.social @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz you often seem to see men ignoring women's contributions but also ignoring other men's as well, if the men are younger or perhaps students or from a different culture. Women are a solid subset, but a mere "acknowledge women" doesn't help with root cause, which seems to be some fundamental lack of self-confidence. I never see truly confident people fail to acknowledge the folks around them.

@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange my underlying assumption was that the person using the steg was *not* the owner of the file hosting platform but it's an interesting and different story if they are. You can enforce a login for known customers only and route different folks to different files with the same external appearance. That's a very different story, overall. Probably more likely? Use cases for steganography are mostly "evading detection from some consequence", for good or bad

@mrfoostang where did you get the notification of breach from?
Replying to
@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange plain file hosts which are publicly accessible must come under extraordinary scrutiny these days. It's not 2001 anymore with people randomly trusting limewire. I see a couple strategies - one, you hide your real payload inside a lesser crime like pirating music; two, you hide your real payload inside something completely innocent. It might depend on your access and audience?
Replying to
@QasimRashid@mastodon.social The ones who got the text, I wonder about them. What did they think? That it wasn't real? That there must be something that made it ok, somehow, because these good friends would never do evil?
Too many people think *people* are good or evil instead of *actions*. No human is inherently good or evil just as no car or dog or stair tread is good or evil. Only your actions can have moral weight, and only then if you are capable of moral thought.
Replying to
@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange the *big* challenge is that public access photos are often compressed or not displayed and downloaded as their original image. So you need to target 1) publicly available 2) places for an analysis where you have photos being uploaded and then available for download as the same file, unaltered. And if you're a paranoid spy type maybe you want places where lots of people go for images, do your visiting looks normal.

@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange my silly brain noticed that steganography and stegosaurus both start from the same prefix and now wants to look for pictures of stegosaurus to check for steganography. It's no less plausible than any other subject.

@jwz@mastodon.social sacrificial silicon stooge?
Been checking out reddit ever since I quit. It's gotten*weird* the past couple days. Overt nazi shit, overt pedo shit, a sort of angry vibe like Twitter or something.
If I were running for office, I would openly state that I would take bribes. You could bribe me by donating to a local nonprofit on my website: anything over a million dollars to the local housing, food bank, or conservation efforts would get you my undivided attention for a full day, no interruptions.
Less than that gets you a couple hours. Fixed income discount, five bucks gets you five minutes. Locals get a local discount and can meet up for free at the community food bank supper.

@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange
Have you already got a lost of sites containing files which are identical on download? I mean you could do this with *literally* any file type, really, not just photos. Although "hide a thing in a photo" is the shiniest example.
in a possibly unrelated but possibly relevant segue - have you heard of the band keygen church? I have no proof this is a topic of interest related to them but if seems likely.
Replying to
@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange Access control wearing a steganography costume is awesome. It's also security through obscurity, in a sense. Or defense in depth.
I suppose you can determine if a hosting platform presents byte-identical download of an upload file by uploading your file and then downloading it again.
Would be wild if the hosting platform did the steg on files others uploaded and didn't let anyone but special download customers know.

@kennethspringer@infosec.exchange nifty! Steganography is one of those things I have always had on my "learn a bit about this, someday" list.
I'd absolutely love to scan random photos online and see if I could find any stegged ones. That would be fun! But labor intensive.
