The first time I heard about BlueHat was watching Bunnie give a talk on hardware supply chain security in Israel in 2019.
Two questions:
How many years do you think you'd need to execute an attack like this? A bit less than 5 years?
How much do you want to bet that whoever designed this terrorist attack was inspired by Bunnie's talk in Israel?
When I first read this, I was kind of hoping it was in shower thoughts.
It is a shower thought, just by a profilic tech celebrity.
This article spent more time explaining the logistics on building pager-bombs than it did actually explaining why building pager-bombs is a bad idea.
If I Did It, by Bunnie Huang 😂
cant wait for the next post, 'water is wet'
so much insight
Not sure if sarcasm, but the article is actually super insightful into a few different methods bad actors could use to accomplish the same feat (short of giving them a formula, from what I can read, but I'm not a battery maker)
No kidding. Is this not some kind of war crime?
Is turning anything into a bomb a good idea?
Yes, indiscriminate bombing is a war crime.
It seemed pretty discriminate to me
So they killed those kids on purpose?
Well israel does discriminately shoot children. We've seen them do this with everything from snipers to giant bombs.
But, obviously, the law against indiscriminate targeting doesn't allow for you to discriminately kill noncombatants, even if you're intentionally targeting children
It is Israel
Yes.
I would think involving civilians usually is. Not like it's a first for them.
It should be if it isn’t.
