Reading Advice

Okay I have not slept in *checks notes* some ungodly amount of time? Because my connective tissue was designed by Satan on a fucking bender and apparently sleeping is for people whose joints don't try to pop in half like a goddamn roast chicken when they lay down.

So let me tell you A Story about why you really, REALLY should not try to make the good guys infallible, and it goes with my favorite show, Power Rangers.

See, Power Rangers starts off with a premise: An alien sage\mystic\something caught in a time warp needs five teenagers to help save the world from The Forces of Evil.

"Now wait a minute," you might be thinking, "The Forces of Evil is actually an alien queen who's been missing from her kingdom for a couple thousand years due to her OWN time warp and there's apparently a couple dozen cultures involved in this 'evil' bit, plus Zordon, the alien sage, recruits TEENAGERS as SOLDIERS. Possibly Zordon is either 1) not the brightest bulb in the package, 2) slightly insane because he didn't talk to anyone but his robot pal for a couple thousand years, or 3) very weirdly religious?"

And these are good questions! And in the final season, when we see that 'the Forces of Evil' are actually a really vast empire, implied to be a very real nation-state compromised of many smaller planet-nations, we should be getting answers!

So instead the writers say this:

"But no, Zordon and the Power Rangers are Good, and their enemies are Evil. To prove it, we will save the day by having Zordon heroically sacrifice himself, which creates a wave of magic that saves anyone 'good' and turns everyone 'evil' into dust!"

And thus Zordon commits fucking genocide.

Seriously, he just straight-up warps a bunch of people--real, sapient beings--into dust piles. People who are...well, 'evil'? Eh. Paid minions, mostly. Elgar, for example, is a dumbfuck who couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel, but probably not 'evil' so much as 'works for his pirate aunt because he loves his family'. Goldar is a loyal henchman, who mostly fights out of cultural loyalty (and in the comics, they note that it's VERY cultural, and VERY loyalty-based). Ecliptor is an android dad who raised one of the main characters very lovingly, to the point where his love actually convinced her she was fighting on the wrong side.

They all just die.

So it's worth considering here--Do you really want a story with an infallible good guy, who is never questioned? Because when your good guy is never questioned, and can never make mistakes, this is what happens.

Or do you want a good guy who can fail, apologize, and try again? Because the Power Rangers do that, repeatedly. And they actually save the world, just before Zordon does his damndest to kill off an entire civilization.

You only get one.

Z-wave Research

Tools

Z-wave & YARD stick One - Z-wave capture and injection

Zniffer & ACC-UZB3-U-STA - Z-wave capture

Tactics

Network Overview

Authentication

Z-wave has an outdated and weak pairing method called S0. Using this pairing mode, the network key is transmitted with a fixed key of 0000000000000000. This network key can then be captured by a sniffer and used to attack nodes on the network. See Security Evaluation for more details.

Since 2017, Z-wave requires devices to use a more secure authentication called S2, which uses a Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange with an optional 5 digit code authentication. With S2 authentication, it should be impossible to get the network key.

However, the Z-wave is backwards compatible and susceptible to a downgrade attack (called Z-shave) and force the nodes to use the vulnerable S0 authentication.

Encryption

If nodes are using S0 authentication, then the network key can be captured via Zniffing.

If the nodes are using S2, then you'll need to join the PC controller (using an unmodified UZB3 dongle) to the network to get the network key. You will also need a nonce update, either single pre-agreed-nonce (SPAN) or multicast pre-agreed-nonce (MPAN) frame, to be able to decrypt packets. If you're in a hurry, a power-cycle will cause the device to issue a frame to resynchronize nonces.

Enumeration

The network is referred to by a "Home ID" with a value of 32bits. Each node is referred to by their "Node ID" of 8bits. The primary controller will have the Node ID of 1, and assigns the Node ID values for every other node on the network, typically sequentially. If there is a Node ID of 8, you can expect node values of 2-7 to be present. though devices can be assigned new node values when reset, leaving gaps in the addressing.

Neither Node ID (sending or receiving) or the Home ID is protected. Therefor traffic analysis can be used to identify the function of various nodes, and the nature of their encrypted messages. Though the encryption used is not susceptible to plain-text attacks.

Jamming

Jamming Z-wave requires multiple transmitters, or a single transmitter hopping quickly on each frequency being used.

US Z-wave

908.4MHz @ 9.6Kbps and 40Kbps

916Mhz @ 100Kbps

US Z-wave Long Distance are on 912MHz and 920MHz.

Jamming detection and response is dependent on implementation and should be tested.

Z-Wave detects jamming via End Device detection and Controller detection. The End Device expects to receive an ACK for each frame it sends. If an ACK isn't received the End Device may check the RSSI to see if its at expected values. If its determined that jamming is occurring, it may send RF Jamming notification to the controller, repeating at longer durations until an ACK is received.

The controller may sample background RSSI a few times a minute to determine if jamming is occurring. Additionally, it may detect jamming if it misses a heartbeat from a node that hasn't reported a low-battery status. If it detects jamming, then it may alert the user.

Known Vulnerabilities

See https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/142629

Project Ideas

The Zniffer UI is a windows only tool. I should make a linux driver that can save captured packets into pcaps. Might violate EULA/TOS.

Create a jammer that hops both frequencies to test the detection and response of the z-wave devices.

DBZ: Waves of Freedom Chapter 4: Out of The Cage

At those very words, Goku perked up. Never had anyone requested they be transformed into a merperson, until now. Vegeta’s sentence immediately became clear- he had wanted to leave behind his life on land in favor of a life beneath the ocean waves. “Of course, best buddy. I’ll gladly do that, but we have to do it step by step- this is a big step, and you can’t rush it!”, Goku replied enthusiastically. “Then what do we do, Kakarot? Because I really do want to become a merman and stay with you.”, Vegeta asked as he looked down at his human legs sorrowfully, knowing that they’d merge into a merman tail when the time was right. “How about we discuss a plan to ensure you have everything you need?”, Goku asked. Vegeta nodded. “I’ve decided that I want to leave Empire Oil Drilling Corps- but if Frieza finds out, I’ll never get the chance to stay with you.”, he said. “Then why don’t you write a resignation letter? I’ll get something to help with your transformation. We meet back here tomorrow.”, said Goku as he splashed back into the water gracefully. Vegeta nodded, and both boys immediately began to plan.

Inside his apartment, Vegeta immediately began writing down his resignation letter, wanting nothing more than to let Frieza know he was leaving his oppressive company once and for all. Taking out a piece of paper and a pencil, he wrote down with all of his heart and soul, putting strong emotions into every word he wrote down, which then resulted in a letter that would surely get the attention of Frieza:

To: Lord Frieza, CEO of Empire Oil Drilling Corps

Subject: Resignation

Dear Lord Frieza,

After much contemplation, I have decided to resign from my position effective immediately. While I appreciate the opportunities I have had at Empire Oil Drilling Corps, I can no longer ignore the call for a life beyond these walls. This company, which once seemed to promise greatness, has become a gilded cage, suffocating my spirit and stifling my true potential.

I need to find my own path, one that allows me the freedom to breathe and live fully. This is not a decision made lightly, but it is one I must make for my own well-being.

I am somewhere you can never reach me and never will.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Vegeta

Vegeta let out one massive sigh of relief as he placed the letter in an envelope and began to pack the shell collection that he had made himself- and amongst those shells and sand dollars were the bracelet Goku had given him and the abalone that his father gave him. And he even added a few pictures of his parents and some other important mementos. This is it. The start of a new life. He thought as he placed the lid on the box containing his shell collection including the Agate Mermaid he genuinely treasured, he immediately snuck down to the beach under the cover of night and waited for one of the other merfolk he had met to arrive. At once, Piccolo and Yamcha immediately came to the surface and took the box. “We’ll keep this safe until you arrive in Atlantis.”, the octopus merman replied as a third merman, Master Roshi (A common dolphin merman) surfaced and ensured Vegeta everything would be fine. “Don’t worry. You have us to help.”, replied Launch, a spunky marlin mermaid as she surfaced alongside the others. Krillin and his daughter Marron, a young seahorse mermaid, also surfaced. As Vegeta watched Piccolo, Launch, and Roshi’s fins and Yamcha’s tentacles disappear beneath the surface, he felt like everything was going as it should’ve. “Hope to see you in Atlantis, bud!”, Krillin replied as he and Marron disappeared beneath the waves.

At the same time, Goku and his family swam across Atlantis all the way to the Upper Terraces of the metropolis known as Chalchiuhtlicue’s Falls, with cascading waterfalls and beautiful coral formations, and colorful fish went and came as they pleased, which was also where Bulma and Trunks resided. As they made their way there, jellyfish lit the way until they came to the door of the glamorous residence the innovative siren called home. “Bulma, I kinda need to talk to you. I wanna change Vegeta into a merman, and from what he’s told me, I think he knows what he’s getting into.”, he said as Bulma perked up from a project she was doing and swam over to her friend, while her son was stroking a gentle coelacanth. “Well, at least he knows how big of a change it is, but follow me.”, Bulma replied, swimming over to a case filled with seashells that looked like they were made from precious stones, her long blue hair floating in the water. She opened the case and pulled out a scallop shell made out of sapphire. “This is a Crystal Shell- it’s the only thing capable of turning him into a permanent merman, but his fins and freedom come at a massive cost: His life on land and any connections he’s made with land dwellers.”, Bulma explained sternly as she placed the shell into Goku’s hands. “So in short, he’s able to shapeshift as well, he can never be a true human again, and his heart will always belong to the ocean.”, Goku said as he placed the shell in a pouch and tied it shut. “Yes, yes, and yes. He can shapeshift to walk on land, but no matter what form he takes, whether it be human or merman, he will always answer the call of the ocean.”, Bulma said. “Thanks, Bulma. I’ll ensure he knows that information.”, Goku replied as he and his family swam back to Mazu’s Harbor to get some rest and prepare for the upcoming day.

The next morning, Vegeta woke up stronger than ever, knowing that this was his only chance to get out of the life he loathed and to resign from the company he had spent long hours at. Taking one last look at his apartment, he immediately made his way through the hallways with his resignation letter in hand, telling the landlord who ran the apartment that he was never coming back and was ready to take the next big step for himself. But before he made his way to Empire Oil Drilling Corps, he stopped by the water to explain to Goku that everything was going as it should. “Vegeta, you’re doing amazing. You’re almost there to your new life,” Goku said as he took out the crystal shell from the satchel. “What’s that? Is it some artifact, Kakarot?”, asked Vegeta as he sat down on the rocks. “Mhm. It’ll turn you into a permanent merman, so you never have to come back to a life that made you feel captive.”, the citrus tailed merman replied as he began to explain more. “I-I’ve made up my mind already. Is there anything else I should know?”, Vegeta questioned. “Well, there’s a price for your transformation, and that’s not your voice.”, said Goku. “Then what is it?”, the soon to be merman asked. “It’s your life on land,” the merman said.

Vegeta pretended to be shook, but he had made up his mind already. “My life on land? Well, the land holds nothing for me anymore anyway.”; replied Vegeta solemnly, clutching the resignation letter. “And also, you have to sever any connections for your own good. But then again, you didn’t have any good connections with your coworkers, didn’t you?”, he asked. “I never had, but I’ve got some amazing friends thanks to you.”, Vegeta said. “Ok. And once you’ve transformed, there’s no turning back into a human again. But then again, you have us, so there’s that- and you can shapeshift.”, Goku explained. “I’m ready to become a merman, no matter the cost.”, Vegeta replied as he felt the cooling Seabreeze against his face. “I’m glad you’re ready. Now go deliver that resignation letter, and we’ll head somewhere you can be transformed!”, Goku replied happily as Vegeta nodded and stood up, ready to deliver the resignation letter.

It would only be a matter of time before he would no longer be a true human.

thinking about how honest the hope is in disco elysium, if that makes sense. how you face consequences for the actions and life you can’t remember. how your nightmares come back and they just might be there to stay. how you still wake up in pain and have to very actively fight off the cravings of your old addictions. how it isn’t easy trying to chose not just life, but living better, living for yourself. how it doesn’t mean any of the problems will go away, or the pain will stop, but it gives you an option other than constant suffering. there’s always a silver lining, it’s just a matter of being able to look up and find it.

hope isn’t always easy, and sometimes it is a choice, but in a torn up world and a torn up body, it’s something. it’s not always pretty or perfect, it’s clumsy and sometimes foolish and hard to keep close, it’s difficult, and maybe it’s all you have but it’s something - streets and sodium lights, the sky, the world, you’re alive
