That doesn't seem relevant for the stated tasks, especially given they are running on Windows...

Recently moved our RDS instances from r8g. to r8gd., which adds local NVMe, and I think the average I/O latency went from 1.0ms to 0.1ms. Adds up in big queries!

> “Even if that device does reboot for any number of reasons, memory maintenance or the power is lost or whatever, the AFU state is not lost. This is the true magic behind the GrayKey Preserve and the Evidence Preservation Mode function.”

Based on this, it seems more likely that this involves exploiting the device to retrieve the underlying keybags present in AFU mode and store them, rather than manipulating the actual feature of automatic reboots. Then the device can be exploited again in BFU mode but with the prior keybag to decrypt everything.

It sounds like this feature is being used to exploit and extract keys from devices without a warrant (or in advance of getting one), which seems dubious to me.

I think most people are using some variation of Chinese models due to the safeguards. I have some self hosting but the economics are bad - OpenRouter etc are a very competitive marketplace and usually better.

Pretty hard to implement in practice!

We can quantify the impact of the scripting tools pretty easily - 1.5k requests per day! I just went on Reddit and viewed a few posts, and it caused about 500 HTTP requests in DevTools. Luckily HN is not that bloated, but I just don't see the number of requests as meaningful even if it was orders of magnitude higher.

As the OP said, they don't do anything when the server isn't vulnerable, and serving a 404 page is incredibly cheap.

Even before AI, I can't imagine a single bug bounty researcher doing that. Pre-AI, everyone ran a tool like subfinder to enumerate subdomains, httpx to resolve them, nuclei to scan them, etc. There's no human review involved there at the subdomain level.

And I don't know anyone that would really look at the intermediary of a CNAME even during a manual test. Maybe if it was obviously a third party service.

Are you confident you are not viewing too many pages on HN? What if many other people are also trying to read this thread?

I think this line of reasoning doesn't make any sense. The internet is not an inherently safe network regardless of what we wish for; we can't wish away the bad activity, and it's only going to increase. The activity that helps prevent the bad activity from working is a net positive.

I feel confident that no system exposed to the internet should have a problem with 50,000 requests per month! If they do, they probably shouldn't run a public NTP server, or have a public IP address at all.

The OP says they have received 50,000 requests in about a month. What service is being denied by 0.01 requests per second?

How do you suggest I determine the information is bad, if the domain is hosted on tesla.com, and Tesla says I am authorized to test it? Should I inspect all 1,368 subdomains on tesla.com by hand, and then do the same for 400+ bug bounty programs?

Prepaid cards are great for the vendor because they have breakage (the unspent amount before expiry). I doubt the data is worth much relative to that. If anything, they have much less of a tie to the individual.
