TPM provides zero practical security

TPM provides zero practical security

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is as useful for preventing real attackers as the TSA is at preventing real terrorists. The architecture is fundamentally flawed and most existing implementations are completely broken. I thought this argument was settled decades ago[1] when "trusted computing" was introduced mostly as a way to provide DRM and ownership capabilities to organizations. It has largely failed to impact the consumer market when it was introduced back in the early 2000s. However, recently there seems to be a movement by certain parties to reintroduce this failed product back to the market. Microsoft argues that in order to use Windows 11, you need TPM 2.0 compatible hardware because[2]:

How to install and use iodine for DNS tunneling.

This guide provides detailed steps for setting up DNS records, configuring a DNS tunneling server and client, and setting up a browser for secure proxy connections.

Why iodine?

  • Bypassing Network Restrictions: iodine excels in environments with strict network restrictions. It utilizes DNS queries, which are typically allowed through firewalls, to tunnel data where traditional methods like VPNs might be blocked.
  • Efficient for Limited Bandwidth: Ideal for situations with bandwidth limitations, iodine requires less bandwidth compared to standard VPNs, making it a practical choice for networks with restricted data flow.
  • Customizability and Open Source: As an open-source tool, iodine offers extensive customization options. Users with specific technical needs or those interested in a hands-on approach to network tunneling can tailor iodine to their requirements.

Notes on Quelima R3 WiFi Camera

First

  • Install the app "Sports DV" and change WiFi SSID and password

URLs

  • Wifi and Cam settings are seperated and have different port numbers.
  • Wifi-Settings (just login withoug username and password): http://192.168.25.1
  • Cam LiveStream: http://192.168.25.1:8080/?action=stream
  • Not sure how the configuration is made really... Would need a Man-In-The-Middle-Attack or send the initial ICMP package

Change AP (Cam is the access point) to Station (Cam is a normal WiFi Client)
