Attached: 1 image I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so. We (@redford@infosec.exchange, @mrtick@infosec.exchange and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parties. 1/4

A polish hacker found out why trains did stop working. The manufacterer implemented a hidden electronic switch, which automatically activated after trains were serviced by a different company.

    Yeah, all that universal healthcare, parental leave, universal college, vacation time, etc., etc. is just the worst. Such lousy standard of living.

    Not to mention the lack of school shootings. Who wants that?
