Talk from this years C3. Last year Polish hackers found DRM measures in train sets from Newag designed to make repairs next to impossible. This talk details what happened after.
We were not familiar with this story. Playing catch-up, and we’ll be posting this to Mastodon as well as corporate-owned channels.
Public transport is too important not to expect that its code is open to inspection, if not licensed open source. Transport justice means supporting public mobility built with the same transparency and accessibility that we advocate for in open-source solutions.
I wasn’t familiar with you guys before, so in a sense I’m playing catch-up myself ;)
BTW: there was another talk at C3 this year, that might be of interest to you: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-transitous-offener-routingdienst-fr-ffentliche-verkehrsmittel (unfortunately it’s in German, otherwise I would have posted it properly already.)
It’s about https://transitous.org/ I think there is some overlap with what you’re doing so maybe there is some room for cross-pollination.
Very cool, but what does it have to do with cars?
You might have missed a word in the title; this community is not about cars.
This being a sub against cars which promotes better alternatives like, you know, trains?
Thanks for posting this update. I remember this story from last year. I hope Newag gets smacked for committing fraud.
