Watt-Zeefuik Posted March 11 Posted March 11 3 hours ago, Spellczech said: Hard to believe Larry Ellison is so rich. Oracle is rubbish - difficult to get data out of and the add-on modules which aim to make 1990s database software look like it belongs in the 21st century are just clunky. Basically they have a load of clients locked into very expensive maintenance contracts and he's the 4th richest man in the World off the back of that! Elon Musk should be the new shining example that running your company well is not necessarily the same skill or action as making yourself unfathomably rich. In fact, at times the two are in opposition. Oracle is an old monopoly, and it's fading but they're still rent seeking on companies that have decades of critical data stashed in it. Ellison is now inseparable from Oracle. Oracle bilks its customers, Ellison takes all the wealth (instead of investing it into, you know, making Oracle products not suck out loud) for himself. Musk buys Twitter, fires everyone, and just turns the platform into his own personal megaphone while the user base implodes. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 What Really Happened With the DDoS Attacks That Took Down X Elon Musk said a “massive cyberattack” disrupted X on Monday and pointed to “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area” as the source of the attack. Security experts say that’s not how it works. The social network X suffered intermittent outages on Monday, a situation owner Elon Musk attributed to a “massive cyberattack.” Musk said in an initial X post that the attack was perpetrated by “either a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” In a post on Telegram, a pro-Palestinian group known as Dark Storm Team took credit for the attacks within a few hours. Later on Monday, though, Musk claimed in an interview on Fox Business Network that the attacks had come from Ukrainian IP addresses. Web traffic analysis experts who tracked the incident on Monday were quick to emphasize that the type of attacks X seemed to face—distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attacks—are launched by a coordinated army of computers, or a “botnet,” pummeling a target with junk traffic in an attempt to overwhelm and take down its systems. Botnets are typically dispersed around the world, generating traffic with geographically diverse IP addresses, and they can include mechanisms that make it harder to determine where they are controlled from. "It’s important to recognize that IP attribution alone is not conclusive. Attackers frequently use compromised devices, VPNs, or proxy networks to obfuscate their true origin," says Shawn Edwards, chief security officer of the network connectivity firm Zayo. X did not return WIRED's requests for comment about the attacks. Multiple researchers tell WIRED that they observed five distinct attacks of varying length against X's infrastructure, the first beginning early Monday morning with the final burst on Monday afternoon. The internet intelligence team at Cisco's ThousandEyes tells WIRED in a statement, “During the disruptions, ThousandEyes observed network conditions that are characteristic of a DDoS attack, including significant traffic loss conditions which would have hindered users from reaching the application.” DDoS attacks are common, and virtually all modern internet services experience them regularly and must proactively defend themselves. As Musk himself put it on Monday, “We get attacked every day.” Why, then, did these DDoS attacks cause outages for X? Musk said it was because “this was done with a lot of resources,” but independent security researcher Kevin Beaumont and other analysts see evidence that some X origin servers, which respond to web requests, weren't properly secured behind the company's Cloudflare DDoS protection and were publicly visible. As a result, attackers could target them directly. X has since secured the servers. “The botnet was directly attacking the IP and a bunch more on that X subnet yesterday. It's a botnet of cameras and DVRs,” Beaumont says. A few hours after the final attack concluded, Musk told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow in an interview, “We're not sure exactly what happened, but there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.” DDoS traffic analysis can break down the firehose of junk traffic in different ways, including by listing the countries that had the most IP addresses involved in an attack. But one researcher from a prominent firm, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about X, noted that they did not even see Ukraine in the breakdown of the top 20 IP address origins involved in the X attacks. If Ukrainian IP addresses did contribute to the attacks, though, numerous researchers say that the fact alone is not noteworthy. “What we can conclude from the IP data is the geographic distribution of traffic sources, which may provide insights into botnet composition or infrastructure used,” Zayo’s Edwards says. “What we can’t conclude with certainty is the actual perpetrator’s identity or intent.” Quote

There's been a bit of an outrage about that video. Seemingly gly it was the autopilot mode that was used and not FSD. The results also were predictable and other more realistic tests like a child running out infront of the car showed it stopped well in time. Tesla/Elon fan boys are up in arms about it however. The guy that makes the videos is great and the main topic of the video was actually using LIDAR tech to eventually build a 3D model of Disney's spacemountain roller coaster that is entirely indoors and in the dark. Worth a watch. https://youtu.be/IQJL3htsDyQ?si=9_VN-Y7zABEGwePV Quote
