Hacking the #EU #AgeVerification app in under 2 minutes.
During setup, the app asks you to create a PIN. After entry, the app *encrypts* it and saves it in the shared_prefs directory.
1. It shouldn't be encrypted at all - that's a really poor design.
2. It's not cryptographically tied to the vault which contains the identity data.
So, an attacker can simply remove the PinEnc/PinIV values from the shared_prefs file and restart the app.
After choosing a different PIN, the app presents credentials created under the old profile and let's the attacker present them as valid.
Other issues:
1. Rate limiting is an incrementing number in the same config file. Just reset it to 0 and keep trying.
2. "UseBiometricAuth" is a boolean, also in the same file. Set it to false and it just skips that step.
Seriously @vonderleyen - this product will be the catalyst for an enormous breach at some point. It's just a matter of time.
.@vonderleyen "The European #AgeVerification app is technically ready. It respects the highest privacy standards in the world. It's open-source, so anyone can check the code..."
I did. It didn't take long to find what looks like a serious #privacy issue.
The app goes to great lengths to protect the AV data AFTER collection (is_over_18: true is AES-GCM'd); it does so pretty well.
But, the source image used to collect that data is written to disk without encryption and not deleted correctly.
For NFC biometric data:
It pulls DG2 and writes a lossless PNG to the filesystem. It's only deleted on success. If it fails for any reason (user clicks back, scan fails & retries, app crashes etc), the full biometric image remains on the device in cache. This is protected with CE keys at the Android level, but the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them.
For selfie pictures:
Different scenario. These images are written to external storage in lossless PNG format, but they're never deleted. Not a cache... long-term storage. These are protected with DE keys at the Android level, but again, the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them.
This is akin to taking a picture of your passport/government ID using the camera app and keeping it just in case. You can encrypt data taken from it until you're blue in the face... leaving the original image on disk is crazy & unnecessary.
From a #GDPR standpoint:
Biometric data collected is special category data. If there's no lawful basis to retain it after processing, that's potentially a material breach.

Camouflage no longer works with YOLO.
The detection of the hays here is impressive. YOLO can identify an hay which has mostly the same color of the background.

[SIGGRAPH '26] Anchored Temporal Gaussian Splatting for Long Volumetric Video Representation
TL;DR: We present ATGS, a novel framework for volumetric video reconstruction that effectively handles long sequences and complex motions. By utilizing time-conditioned anchors and a temporal windowing strategy, ATGS enhances temporal coherence and scalability.
Abstract (excerpt):
Key insight is that explicitly tracking long term complex motion with individual Gaussian primitives is inherently unstable.
Instead, we organize Gaussians around time conditioned anchors that localize their spatial and temporal support, thereby reducing long range motion complexity.
We further introduce a temporal windowing strategy to activate only anchors relevant to the queried time, which improves scalability and temporal coherence.
In addition, to ensure spatial and temporal stability, we design a compact set of multi level anchor features that encode global features, local spatial features, and local temporal features, jointly constraining Gaussian generation.
Extensive experiments demonstrate that ATGS consistently outperforms prior methods on long sequence volumetric videos with complex motions.

VW ist wahrscheinlich dafür zu unflexibel, aber @SixtDE kann eigentlich die Steilvorlage nicht liegen lassen 😁
Best ad for Volkswagen - their car survived a Russian attack on Ukraine.

Linus Torvalds created Linux at 21 without Claude or any other AI.
- He didn't have a co-founder.
- No VC funding. No office.
- No team.
- Just a personal project
he posted to a mailing list:
"I'm doing a free OS."
33 years later,
it runs 97% of the world's servers, all smartphones, and the International Space Station.
The most important software in history started as someone's side project.
Absolute legend.

An Ukrainian soldier put many QR codes on his tank to shield it against Russian drones. His comrade got confused.
The soldier explained to him: Russian drones use Chinese chips, which automatically scan Temu QR codes then start shopping, forget about the war... Later burdened with debt, then gave up.
