“I connected my laptop to the network and looked at the traffic and saw that one unit was sending packets continuously,” said Rojas. He realized that his light fixture had burned out, and was trying to tell the hub that it needed attention. To do so, it was sending continuous requests that had overloaded the network and caused it to freeze. “It was a classic denial of service attack,” says Rojas. The light was performing a DoS attack on the smart home to say, ‘Change me.’”

There is a slow smile. Satisfied in the jolt of fear garnered in her presence. With a lazy wave of her hand and the parts began a small ballet in the air above the table, landing in a rather neat layout.
“No harm done.” she replied. A note in her voice almost disappointed. As if looking forward to picking on them. “And I touched nothing.”
“No, but all these do only so much good when I’m focused,” he replied, gesturing to his array of eyes. “I saw someone in my periphery, and the last two times someone was they knocked that over.” He waved at the device as she had, though of course it did nothing. “And they weren’t able to do that, so to the floor it and several hours of work went.”
Anonymous asked:
“Hey, don’t touch that!” [qazmitsinclare]
stellevatum answered:
“Touch what?” She asked. Eyes narrowing slightly. Qaz should have known just who they were talking to.
Qaz blanched and dropped the micro-solderer in his hand before he slowly looked up.
“I’m so sorry.” He nodded to the half-dissembled device on the counter. “It’s gotten knocked around twice in the last six hours, and it’s been a slatteritch to fix before that—I’m so sorry.”
“When given the choice between what is right and what is easy, I hope you choose what is funny instead.”
