Boeing 787 source code leak exposes deep security flaws

Übermittelt
 
At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, security researcher Ruben Santamarta claims that leaked code has led him to something unprecedented: security flaws in one of the 787 Dreamliner's components, deep in the plane's multi-tiered network. In a statement, Boeing said it had investigated IOActive's claims and concluded that they don't represent any real threat of a cyberattack. (www.wired.com) Mehr...

Sadly being stupid does not render right wing but hurt fascists incapable of typing. Boeing has wasted $30 billion since they decided there is nothing worthwhile about Boeing engineers and tried to contact all their work out to cheap vendors.

Why do you read it if it bothers you so much? It never ceases to amaze me how so many right-wingers love to look for and roll around in the things they say offends them. I'd call you a masochist but I seriously doubt you'd understand what it means, even if someone read the definition to you.

WTH are you yakking about...this was brought up over 10 yrs ago, and the FAA even issued "special conditions" regulations with respect to the Dreamliner.
Maybe it's about time you, and others like you, take off you damn "left and right" turn blinders and realize there is also a straight section!!

I get the impression that you’ve picked a side.

Boeing had its own engineers try to hack the system? The same engineers who wrote the code that Santamarta says is vulnerable? Gee, no vested interest there. They're unlikely to admit to Boeing that they screwed up and even if they did, Boeing isn't going to admit it to a reporter -- or anyone else. Calling the investigator "irresponsible" is just a red herring to try to deflect attention away from the problem. Only Donny Quixote would claim Boeing doesn't have a credibility problem and he's a fool.

*sigh*

No, Boeing (as well as other OEMs) use external firms/entities for testing. This is a basic principle for aviation engineering - engineers can not sign-off on their own work. Read ARP4754A and ARP4761 for starters.

The Wired article is riddled with inaccuracies based on a presentation made by someone that has a poor understanding of the aviation industry and tried to draw parallels - where none can be drawn - to the consumer electronics industry.

So where was your 100% accurate article published? Or do you just specialise in criticising published reports without ever doing any of the work yourself?

Hint: The former pays a lot better than the latter.

Don Q's post is about as offensive as it gets and needs to be removed

Read my reply to your brother Lewis, Don! Nothing BS about except you cannot fathom that Boeing is NOT the same company it was decades ago!! No one has been duped, and no one "hates" Boeing!! Pissed off with them? YES! Mad at them for being stupid? YES! Hate them? NO! SO GET OFF YOUR BS ATTITUDE THAT THEY ARE HOLIER THAN THOU!!

"Your" Boeing? Sure, Don. Now back away slowly from your keyboard and find your meds.

Do let the door hit you in the ass when you leave here. No one will miss you. Why the hell would you stay here and read posts that upset you so much if they upset you so much? Most people with an IQ above room temperature can figure that out. What's your problem, Mr Boeing Apologist? I suspect this is the only interaction you have with other human beings in your miserable, pathetic "life".

Mr. Don, may I suggest that you moderate your language a bit. Your little rant is hardly becoming.

If it has a microchip, it can be hacked. End of story.

Umm, I don’t think you know what microchips actually are.

Umm, I don't think YOU know that microchips without software are beach sand and solder.
