Watching the livestream of the Artemis II launch, I just witnessed one of the astronauts type in the password on their tablet while sitting in the capsule on camera.

@ottaross @occult
you know the drill - some tablet and a siemens maintenance jacket and white helmet should bring you soo far

@occult nobody hack the astronauts while they’re in space, please!

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@catsalad @occult Kids would lose their minds

[davep@infosec.exchange]

@occult Little chance of an evil maid attack though.

@occult Face ID doesn’t work with a space suit helmet on.

[nerde@beige.party]

@occult
It’s AI. That astronaut has 4 fingers and no thumb on his left hand.

[unixjunk1e@infosec.exchange]

@occult good luck hacking their WiFi

[keithpjolley@discuss.systems]

@occult that's the same password as my luggage!

[jaddy@friend.enby-box.de]

@occult Ok, you‘re stuck in a tiny space tin with three other people you know very well, have trained with for years, must trust with your life - but you need a password for some tablet???

What is there to protect and against what threat?

[rose@linuxrocks.online]

@occult Yeah, I typed in what he typed and it was a bit.ly URL for a Rickroll.

@fuzzle @ottaross @occult a ladder helps too, especially since they're a fair distance up

@davep @occult The chances are low, but not zero. https://youtu.be/EWQAvMUUJr4

[beachbum@mastodon.sdf.org]

@occult Yikes. Might as well be on signal.

[nerpulus@mastodon.online]

@occult Was it possible to see from the video what the password was?

Also, how is it possible to use a touch screen with hose gloves on?

[gnate@ohai.social]

@occult It's fine. They change the password each time we go to the moon.

[boss@troet.cafe]

@occult Let me guess „1-2-3-4“?

[linza@kamu.social]

@occult Climb up there and try typing it in ?

[benjaminlj@virup.social]

@occult why is there even a password on the tablet? Who's gonna steal it?

[zeroday@podcasts.social]

@occult it is a 4 digit one...

If I am informed correctly:

The tablet that is used is specific for that mission and the pin is only used to prevent accidental activation.

But still:

4DIGITS!!! Clear in view!! 3939? Anybody? Could be a new number code in the nerd world
