Another flaw hits Tapplock smart locks, thanks to leaky server | ZDNet[^]
leaky company's API server....MAC address and converts it using the MD5 algorithm....
Who architects these solutions , who test them ...where are the standards ?

Standards? We don't need no stinkin' standards.

Did you say badgers? ![Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/badger.gif)

Wow. These folks shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a security-oriented business. I can't believe (according to the article) unlocking only requires an obfuscation (by MD5) of the MAC address. That's a criminally stupid design.

They probably got the code from QA or SO ...

And, double wow. How are these folks in business? Bad technological security and bad physical security as well...this product simply has it all.
A lock you can disassemble with a screwdriver. I guess at least its not a tool-less disassembly?

"We will continue to monitor the latest security trends and provide updates from time to time"
What do they mean "continue"?
If they ever did that they wouldn't be having these problems in the first place

There are a lot of security trends to monitor, and they are starting from the beginning.
It shouldn't take them long, they have reached the point where the door key has been invented. Coming soon: the door lock.

And shortly after that MD5, that should be an interesting lesson for them

Indeed. I hear it is not just a brilliant encryption algorithm, but an excellent compression system as well!

Preamble
I checked whether it meets the lounge criterions. I think it does and see no reason why to post this in soap box.
Now the question
Should I eat meat in case I'm not able to kill the [Edit] basic [/Edit] supplier [Edit]of the meat[/Edit]by myself?
Btw: I eat meat.

By that logic, should I now begin eating airplanes?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Excuse me please, but in your answer I see absolutely no logic; at most an Alibi...

That's ok. I have not shot down anything lately.

Why would you want to kill the butcher?

Ups, now I recognize it, I squinted (take care Google translated...)

It's ok if you buy it from "Nice to meat" over here in Holland 
|
|
|

 Yes indeed, this is a strange question.
Killing the supplier means you'll soon run out of suppliers and go hungry or wind up in jail, either way, don't do it. Being friendly with a meat purveyor has it's benefits! (my wife manages 10 steakhouses so I should know!) Here's a tip...tip the butcher. They'll eventually remember you. Hmmm, looks like steak tonight!

No. It still does not make any sense.
