A Modchip To Root Starlink User Terminals Through Voltage Glitching | Hackaday

[Lennert Wouters]’ team has been poking and prodding at the Starlink User Terminal, trying to get root access, and needed to bypass the ARM Trusted Firmware boot-time integrity checks. The terminal’s PCB is satellite-dish-sized, so things like laser fault injection are hard to set up – hence, they went the voltage injection route. Much poking and prodding later, they developed a way to reliably glitch the CPU into verifying a faulty firmware, and got to a root shell.

Re: Flowers for Algernon.

The short story antidote to Flowers.. is Ted Chiang's "Understand".

@UncleIroh @redmaple

Well said. Such a wasted opportunity smh... I really wanted to know what they talked about at the Trump dinner.

@basedbagel @Tfmonkey
You end up developing a 6th sense for this stuff. In the meantime you earned an armor lootbox, use it.

@UncleIroh I think that covers everything. The lights were too bright.

He brought in a leopard, and was hoping it would change its spots and play his kitty cat games.

@milk
Completely agree. To this day I'm still amazed at Ted's insights in the Left mindset.

@tottoro

Genuinely love that.

Last bit.

"You create a game plan and then make adjustments as the game goes along. Ye clearly said he was not going to do the Lex Freidman thing again and that's exactly where Tim was taking it.

Tim is way too rigid in his format for this situation. The lights were too bright, and he was unable to make the in game adjustments."

End quote.

@redmaple

I knew from the jump Ye was going to end up walking off. I didn't know why or for what reason or how long it would go but I knew that was coming.

He wasn't there to have a discussion. He was there to preach. That was obvious from the start. If I could recognize that how is it Tim couldn't?

4/4

@redmaple

Mistake 4: Thinking you need to pushback. You don't need to pushback. There is plenty of pushback to go around. Everyone can see the pushback. The audience is perfectly capable of hearing his words and making up their own minds. Your job at that point is try to draw names and as much information out of him as you can but just let him go.. not pushback against his opinion.

3/4

@redmaple

Mistake 2: Treating it like it was just going to be another show where Ye goes through the news of the day with the crew. It was never going to be that.

Mistake 3: Not understanding when to just be the conduit. We get the Tim opinion all the time. Sometimes you need to just listen and only ask relevant questions. (I.E. It should have been YOU asking Ye "whose they?" the first time he said it.. not the other way around.)

2/4

@redmaple
True.

Some really based comments in Tim's reply video, almost all blaming him for dropping the absolute once-in-a-lifetime diamond he was holding because he wouldn't at least shut the fuck up.

Here's the best IMO:

"Mistake 1: Not streaming it exclusively on Rumble to avoid the shadow of censorship.

1/4

@basedbagel @Tfmonkey

Yeah, I made that.

Assuming you still want your message out there, where's the error in that meme?

It's the IRL bit. Be a gray man instead.

The lesson being taught to us all in real-time is that the only people who have a chance at telling the risk-it-all truth right now are literally billionaires. Now look at how it's going for Elon and Ye, both fighting a no-shit war right now.

You don't have FU money so don't be dumb.

Go pseudonymous online if you want to help.
