Serious question: Is anyone making a list of where it may be possible to purchase a *new* car that isn't just spyware on wheels?

@briankrebs Admit it. This was your goal knowing full well the answer was, "nothing is Cylon-proofed anymore."

@briankrebs @briankrebs Others have already covered the “no such product exists in the market” answer, so I’ll just throw some wishful thinking into the Ethernet winds and suggest to the #infosec / hacker community that it seems we’ll collectively need to create the @frameworkcomputer of cars. There’s enough knowledge and money among a sufficiently large subset of us, especially if enough late career professionals decide they’d rather not entrust the detailed time-series geolocation of their family to a company which can’t avoid recapitulating the vulnerabilities of the 90s, and to the data brokers to which it sells that data, and to the advertisers and governments and criminal organizations buying from those data brokers.

@briankrebs I think it's time for a custom firmware. For cars and for TVs I feel.

@briankrebs I’ll keep repairing my 2016 VW Sportwagon until I can’t get parts

@briankrebs Any 2018 to 2025 Toyota Corolla (E210) can be neutered in 5 minutes without any special knowledge or tools.

One screw on an accessible panel that leads to an accessible wire attached to the DCM, which can be unplugged.

This results in only minor trade-offs around one speaker and both microphones.

@briankrebs I think you have the only reasonable idea. All tech currently is designed to be a permanent colonoscopy

[briankrebs@infosec.exchange]

@mrskycar The great thing about the Corolla is if you treat it right, it will last 200-300k miles easy. The bad thing is also that it will last 200-300k miles.

@briankrebs
I recommend electronic ignition and fuel injection if you want to actually drive it. Retrofit is fine.

@briankrebs This needs to become a widely adopted thing or being tracker-free means shining like a beacon...

[jessicascott09@infosec.exchange]

@briankrebs pretty much no

there's probably something stateside, but this is a fun channel to see conversions on classics
