  • A few years ago we were discussing how some companies were trying 4-day weeks and someone said that they'd like to try four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour.

    They could not imagine that it meant working fewer hours.

  • No, I think that those are those ring things with a hole in them.

  • That sounds worth investigating, thanks! Amcrest needs an account for notifications afaik, but the Pro cameras can work just on a local network.

    The app for them is awful. Then they made a new version that is awful in slightly different ways, so I'm interested in new options.

  • It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?

  • It's cool to have ID'd one of them, regardless.

  • What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s?

    Jump

  • My point was really how there was little to no verification on SMTP servers back then and that you could send mail with a simple terminal program, or, more practically, a script.

    Not hacking, but using knowledge of the insecurity of SMTP servers of the time, to allow spoofing easy spoofing.

    Not so easy to find SMTP servers to do that with now.

  • Not really hacking, but in the 90s you could usually just connect to a mail server and it would believe what you told it.

    If you were careful you could just type an email directly: MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, etc.

    I would write scripts at work to send spoof emails sometimes, you could put anything as the FROM address, like "info @ catfacts" or whatever.

    Another "not really hacking" example is that when some companies first got an Internet connection, they would just allocate public IP addresses to everyone, no gateway or firewall. So you could browse any non-passworded smb shares just knowing the IP.

  • It's probably that a designer would have to ask a programmer to create scripting features to make a train work.

    Or the could get the job done by using what they had instead of having to wait for someone else to write new code.
