What Does Your Car Know About You And How Does TOTP Work?

The Software Marketplace Has A Problem, Lets Talk About It

I have a concern that the marketplace for modern software is over capacity, that is user's daily active time is already at a dysfunctional high. That means your application must be built with unrealistic goals. Most modern developers must complete with “Big Tech” and their resources, making it nearly impossible for independent developers to produce a compelling product, but also act completely in their user's best interests in regards to their privacy, security, and overall support. If an application desires the largest user base, it's probably going to make some compromises. I believe every person and corporation is incentive based and I pine for a cautious development in the modern software marketplace.   As I mentioned at the start, I only plan to sprinkle this type of opinion discussion when I have something on my mind that I feel needs some attention. I thank you for listening, and if you have any feedback we'd love to hear it.

What Does Your Car Know About You And How Does TOTP Work?

In this episode, Dusty and I review the Texas Instruments WiLink buffer overrun in Ford Sync 3 systems, a Privacy Not Included article that discusses how modern cars invade your privacy, the case for MFA, how TOTP works and how to be mindful of your TOTP secrets. In the episode we discuss how we found the car privacy report website, the link is below to find out what your car knows about you. Warning: you may not want to use your car's exact VIN number,  because we cannot verify the legitimacy of the website.

Your Motherboard Might Make Your PC Vulnerable

In mid 2023, a possible vulnerability was found in GigaByte desktop motherboard firmware that puts Windows based PC's at risk of a malware infection. Dusty and I break down the step-by-step process on what was discovered, why the application existed, and exactly how it works. We also discus how you can check to see if you are affected, and what to do to protect yourself.  The full research report article can be found from Eclypsium's website [https://eclypsium.com/blog/supply-chain-risk-from-gigabyte-app-center-backdoor/] CONTACT & SOCIALS For our contact & socials please go to my website:        www.vaughnnugent.com [https://www.vaughnnugent.com]    npub1qdjn8j4gwgmkj3k5un775nq6q3q7mguv5tvajstmkdsqdja2havq03fqm7 For a central location to view these episodes you can also visit my website        www.vaughnnugent.com/podcast [https://www.vaughnnugent.com/podcast] This podcast is published by me, using my free and open source content management software called CMNext.        CMNext GitHub [https://github.com/VnUgE/CMNext]

Pilot - How We Can Become More Private And Secure Together

If you feel that technology, governments and corporations are working around the clock to sell your personal information and use it against you, you came to the right place. We are here to help (and us) better understand the technology around us. DESCRIPTION This is a pilot episode for the release of IO Bound, a podcast where Vaughn Nugent (me) and Dustin Hogate discuss their experiences with modern technology, and share them with you. My goal is to reach people like myself. Curious of how all forms of technology work but just don't quite know how to get to the details of how. When learning something new, I always found the barriers to entry, not only annoying, but purpose built to keep the average enthusiast out. It's not lost on me why these barriers often need to exist, however I find they often present unnecessary struggle for people who offer no risk to the established science, but are simply curious. If you feel the same way, I hope to assist you on this journey the best I can, and inspire you to learn something you are passionate about while being aware of the tools you use to get there. It's not a secret that modern technology companies view you and me as breathing wallets, and when every thought we generate, and movement we make can be predicted, it can be sold. We want to make sure not only that you are aware of this fact to the point of fatigue, but are making conscious steps to protecting yourself and your family.
