Sparrowvsrevolution writes: At the Black Hat Asia security conference in Singapore next month, two Spanish researchers plan to demo a small gadget they built for less than $20 that can be connected to a car’s internal Controller Area Network to allow hackers ot wirelessly inject malicious commands affecting everything from the vehicle's windows and headlights to its steering and brakes. Their tool, which is about three-quarters the size of an iPhone, draws power from the car’s electrical system and can wait for minutes or years before relaying a wireless command to the car's network via Bluetooth or GSM sent remotely from an attacker’s computer. They call it the CAN Hacking Tool, or CHT.
Just what the CHT can trick a car into doing depends on the model--the researchers tried four different vehicles and managed to only fiddle with windows and lights in some cases, while triggering anti-lock brake or emergency brake systems in others. For some of the cars, the device could only be planted by gaining access under the hood, but in other cases, it could be attached to the network just crawling under the car.
"It can take five minutes or less to hook it up and then walk away,” says one of the researchers. “We could wait one minute or one year, and then trigger it to do whatever we have programmed it to do.”

An anonymous reader writes: The Supreme Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the ghost of the former leader of National Socialist German Workers' Party have approved of the new Slashdot Beta site in a rare instance of agreement amongst the two. The two strong personalities have a history strong disagreement of the most mundane of things but united today outside the Great Pyongyang Unicorn Lair with Slashdot Editor Samzenpus to show support. "Morale at Dice [Slashdot's parent company] is at an all time low, but the show of support from such great world leaders is an encouragement to the entire team", said Samzenpus.

Screaming, followed by sounds of frenzied masturbation, have been reported from the subterranean dungeon. "There's no way enough ejaculatory fluid is getting sprayed on our dice to make us care about this deluded protestor's opinion." a Dice executive commented earlier. Former Slashdot owner turned professional millionaire Robert Malda, expressed support: "No porn. More dice than a casino. Lame."

Ying Hu writes: Slashdot Beta is not Slashdot: http://slashdot.org/journal/63... What was loved about Slashdot does not appear in the new design — those creating the latter, please fire yourself and go work for a commercial consumer site (which we never read, and never will). OUR site should work without JavaScript, and JavaScript that IS used should to do something actually desired by a reader or commenter, not waste our bandwidth and CPU, and electricity, sending CRAP onto our computers. Improvements/ plugins, http://userstyles.org/styles/9..., won't be enough.

rueger writes: A fair question that is on many people's minds. Given that the beta site is proving incredibly unpopular, what Slash-replacements are out there?
who_stole_my_kidneys writes: Slashdot started redirecting users in February to its newly revamped webpage and received a huge backlash from users. The majority of comments dislike the new site while some do offer solutions to make it better. The question is will Slashdot force the unwanted change on its users that clearly do not want change?
somenickname writes: As a long time Slashdot reader, I'm wondering what website to transition to once the beta goes live. The new beta interface seems very well suited to tablets/phones but, it ignores the fact that the user base is, as one would expect, nerds sitting in front of very large LCD monitors and wasting their employers time. It's entirely possible that the browser ID information gathered by the site has indicated that they get far more hits on mobile devices where the new interface is reasonable but, I feel that no one has analyzed the browser ID (and screen resolution) against comments modded +5. I think you will find that most +5 comments are coming from devices (real fucking computers) that the new interface does not support well. Without an interface that invites the kind of users that post +5 comments, Slashdot is just a ho-hum news aggregation site that allows comments. So, my question is, once the beta is the default, where should Slashdot users go to?
An anonymous reader writes: Maybe some of the slashdot team should start listening to its users, most of which hate the new user interface. Thanks for ruining something that wasn't broken.
