Have you tried hacking a floppy disk?

It just sits there and doesn't even have wifi.

Secure af!

And I thought this was just a meme

And its good we are doing that, as points out.

What, you want to upgrade it to run off your smartphone? Thats a horrible idea.

Those arent the mass produced crappy plastic floppy disks of the late 90s, im sure they are very high quality and not prone to the same kind of degradation

Literally unhackable

I miss floppy disks 2bh lads, flash drives just aren't the same

It's secure and well tested. Even barring the security issues, is upgrading the software really worth the risk of some poo in loo code monkey making an off by one error and detonating a nuke?

keep it simple stupid

The CIA has actually gone back to type writers in a lot of top secret cases to avoid hacking.

Why not? If not to fall to consumption meme some things never get old.

What these guys said. Also, any kind of software development re-write is inevitably a shitshow, at least at first. If it ain't broke...

they sounded comfy while loading shit too.

>they rely on codes direct from Commander in Chief to launch nukes
>they dont rely on military discipline

Good idea. Even getting the drive to run that thing would be a chore at this point. Also, easy to destroy if necessary at a moments notice.

>let's have our nuclear weapons connected to networked computers

>he wants nukes to be used via facebook, snapchat and twitter

1000 likes = 1 nuke
dog bless

If it works, don't fix it.

It doesn't take 4tb of data to input 15 numerical #s.

Would it be possible to maintain a floppy disk input while having the disk be an SSD for fast read/write as well as increased storage?

The Norks only have about 3 tape drives and C64s. I'd say the US is still ahead.

Tape drives are more technically advanced, Baka.

And this is the Nork Air Force. Around 30 of these.

One on hand, if they are kept off network it's not that big of a deal, if it works it works. If it's on network, breaking 70's era's security would be like the proverbial stealing candy from children

Magnetic media doesn't have unlimited durability.

Recreational social media nukes.

It it ain't broke, don't fix it.

...

This is why battlestar galactica made so much sense, it got its idea of no networks from this kinda shit.

>small radar presence
>small thermal presence

if those are An-2s then
>small take off distance
>easy and cheap maintenance
>very low stalling speed
its perfect for recon work and covert insertions

>Does it work?
That's the only thing that matters and by working i mean "does it have any vulnerability besides theft?"

You would be surprised on how many crucial systems like power plants still run with old technology.

And there's probably a good reason that they do this. The federal government has no problem building multi-billion dollar facilities that are able to record every piece of data produced by every single human with an internet connection on this planet. If these floppy disks were truly an issue I'm sure they would have gotten rid of them by now. Normally I don't give the government a benefit of the doubt by implying that they know what they're doing, but wasting money on the latest and greatest technologies is something the fed does best. If they're not storing their nuclear codes on the cloud/communicating on Facebook messenger there's probably a good reason for that.

You failed to mention that they're one of the few War planes that have the distinction of having been shot down by ground-based small arms fire.

Sure but God help them if they run into an armed helicopter or soldiers on the ground armed with something heavier than 5.56s.

>what are drones

So you dutch drop off paratroopers with drones?

It has the vulnerability that it could stop working any day. Specially if they're from the 90's but even if they're new, floppy disks were never 100% reliable even when new.

I thought this was a gloryhole pic

i thought we where talking about reconnaissance

>. If they're not storing their nuclear codes on the cloud/

they would use snapchat to send the codes moran.

You can't hack a Commodore 64, millenialfag.
Shit's most secure.

with a little perseverance it could be ;)

Battlestar Galactica soon

>1 post by this ID

OP got his anus fucked raw quickly today lol

Reminder that the space shuttle's flight computer ran on 1MB of RAM.

Not gonna lie, former Trump voter here. This is fucking hilarious watching Trump crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the nuclear floppy discs.

>Reminder that the space shuttle's flight computer ran on 1MB of RAM.
1MB of RAM was a lot for the 60's

>he thinks the president can launch nukes by himself

>he wants his nuke tech to be like a modern computer

Like how literally anyone can backdoor into it? Hell no. They still use literal keys to activate nukes and I'm glad they do.

...

The main reason to upgrade those systems would be the cost of maintenance. If all your shit uses old hardware and you need to replace some component that nobody makes anymore, it can be very expensive to have one made.

Floppy disks and other associated hardware isn't quite old enough for that to be a problem, but it's getting there.

>Reminder that the space shuttle's flight computer ran on 1MB of RAM.

Yeah but the M stands for mega which means millions.

It is actually suprisingly high amount if you have to fill it by hands.

>doesn't know about the 2 man rule
Britbongs desu

The shuttle was built in the 80's, but yes.

Point is that the math for calculating trajectories and such for missiles or spacecraft is actually pretty simple. You don't need much memory for it.

I want a 1tb floppy disk or at least something that looks like a floppy disk. So a flash drive disguised as a floppy disk.

A friend of mine told that updating the hardware Research Institute in his university started in 2002. The main problem is not the money, but the lack of specialists who can do this stuff.

American nuclear infrastructure is sure big af, so there is nothing strange in this shit.

>they aren't using windows 10 with the newest security upvotes
I'm scared, Sup Forums. Why is this allowed? Nuclear is dangerous how can drumpf's government treat it so carelessly?

Honestly there's a good chance that a lot of our missiles wouldn't even work if we tried to use them. We haven't been making new ones for a long time, so we're still counting on the ones that have been sitting in silos for decades.

This is already a thing. You can mod floppys with SD cards, and they work with your standard 20 year old floppy readers.

>they work with your standard 20 year old floppy readers.

that joke in the pic does not work in any floppy reader, and i'm going out on a limb here and saying that it cannot be done at all.

find a legit source showing how a circuit emulates magnetic media so that a magnetic read head is fooled.

>You would be surprised on how many crucial systems like power plants still run with old technology.
I work in power houses from time to time, and it is ABSURD to walk past their terminals only to see windows 2000 log-in screens. Windows XP is probably the most used OS in these types of places. I have been in some pretty out-of-the-way spots inside of power plants, and even in the darkest dirtiest corner, you will always find a stainless steel box with a terminal screen inside. Windows XP just about every time.

If it is working, why fix it?

This is my issue with windows 10. It "fixes" itself regularly even though I don't want/need it to. I would still be using XP if it was viable.

That's why we're testing a Minuteman III today.

Only faggot ops from redit post multiple times because they're desperate for attention and need to keep their thread bumped

>that joke in the pic does not work in any floppy reader,
Obviously.

But would it be impossible to make one that work? I got a thing that looks like a compact cassette that i can hook up to a mp3 player and use in my old car and compact cassette and floppy are both magnetic.

Dont update what aint broke

Those systems are tested 100% and are always ready.

Why would you risk updating them when they could potentiallly be down for days, meanwhile NK sends you a nuke.

Dont fix what aint broke

>find a legit source showing how a circuit emulates magnetic media so that a magnetic read head is fooled.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassette_tape_adaptor

??

Not for this specific product in question but cassettes are magnetic too I believe

good point. I had forgotten about those.

So you probably could. The "floppy" would have to be powered like your mp3 player, but that is doable.

yes. I stand corrected. currently sawing that limb.

I wish North Korea don't use unnecessarily complicated system like Windows10 or ubuntu or android for their missile system.

>not using the latest version of iNuke 9.7.2

...

>I let you in on secret
>top nuclear codes
>leaked from hot service personnel
>only from nukecodes.snapfags.com

>joke, mods, joke

Well yeah, that system has been in place for a long arse time, it is tried and tested and it works. There's always a massive risk associated with updating a system like that. Thing WILL go wrong, and it take many years and a hell of a lot of money to find and iron out all those bugs.

Also floppy disks are reliable as fuck compared to anything since.

i'd bet the m249 with tracers could shoot it down if the gun didn't jam first

>m249
>not jam
Kek

I remember you had to physically secure the 5.25 inch floppy in the slot with a doodad, and then it did the strangest whirring sound as it was read. Those were the days. Had to use like 17 of them with a 700kB ZIP file each to bring Gobliiins game over to a friend.
I mean, my wife still has panic attacks when i send stuff over skype in a single rar file to be unpacked into 20 pics or whatever, and there we were at age 7 figuring out how to pack a game onto 17 floppies using dos command line.
The young these days have it easy. Come to think of it, that game itself was so incredibly unforgiving, it wouldn't fly today anyhow.

There is no record of an old IBM system 360/370/390 mainframe ever being hacked. Also they operate in clusters, this is the reason banks weren't totally wiped out when the world trade center went down. Also they were made back when America was great.

Would you need that much power? Maybe you can just take the power from the computer somehow. Like having a small generator in the SD floppy disk and having the engine in the floppy reader power it that way, not there is anything else the engine need to rotate on a SD floppy converter disk. There are probably easier way to go about it though, maybe taking it directly from the computer.

You could just power it with a USB cable ofc but if the computer all ready got that it would be totally pointless.

>this is the reason banks weren't totally wiped out when the world trade center went down
It didn't have anything to do with that it was orchestrated by the same people that own the banks?

People who make these type of threads should be publically castrated.

I miss the sound of floppies being read.

>There is no record of an old IBM system 360/370/390 mainframe ever being hacked
Maybe, but old systems like that would crumble if attacked by a skilled modern day IT security expert, there is bound to be vulnerabilities that could easily be exploited. And once an exploit has been found, old systems generally had poor or no memory protection, so once you get in you get full access.

>There is no record of an old IBM system 360/370/390 mainframe ever being hacked

Because they can't connect to the internet you fucking refugee

Pretty much.

Computers are inherently insecure. They're designed to carry out given commands, regardless of who gives them. Know the right command, and the computer is as good as yours.

youtube.com/watch?v=cM_sAxrAu7Q

you more or less worked your way back to the correct point; the original post was about having a "floppy" that worked like a floppy but was an SD card. so you would need a power source to create the magnetic signal, and as you said, if you have to plug into something it is no longer a "floppy".

so either it's battery powered, or has some other internal energy source, or it fails to meet the design criteria of simulating a floppy.

maybe the act of pushing it into the drive spins a tiny wheel that turns a tiny generator. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX LOL.

They're 50 years old. No one would have a clue. IBM keep guys on that are well into their 70s to operate them.

>I miss the sound of floppies being read.

I bought the first version of the Amiga when it was still buggier than any garbage Microsoft ever shit out. It had two floppy drives. If you made the mistake of copying a file from one to the other, instead of loading it into the computer and then writing it to the other drive, it would grind away in one drive, apparently reading a tiny number of bytes, then grind away in the other drive, back and forth, for ages.

>maybe the act of pushing it into the drive spins a tiny wheel that turns a tiny generator. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX LOL.
Well as i said the floppy reader has a engine in it the same way a cd reader has so you all ready have a potential low tech power source right there.

Development began in 1969. First flight, 1981. I bet a part of it was built in the 1980s, however the design was pure 1970s.
>all the 80s goys will remember it's greatest hits: "Challenger," and "Columbia."

>brainlets surprised that half the internet runs on 15+ year old hardware that hasn't been touched since it was put to work

What part of they operate in clusters did you not read.

Neither does ur mums pussy.

>First flight, 1981.

the first flight I saw on tv was where they took one up on top of a 747 or whatever it was, and let go of it so that it could glide in for an unpowered landing like normal reentry.

ok my memory is failing faster than a 30 year old floppy drive. the mistake was copying a file from one floppy drive to another place on that same drive, which took literally 20 minutes or more, when copying from one drive to the other took about 20 seconds.

good idea. just let the drive turn the floppy as it normally would to spin a generator.

there are people out there who do this sort of thing. like building a 6502 out of discrete chips.

Columbia was in the 2000s though.

>What is proper security policy
As an IT worker Im pretty glad their nuclear program is on Floppies and probably only used on DMZ Network connected computers because everything else would be too big of a risk

You wouldnt place a database with patient files of a hospital on a host with internet accessability or in a Network which is connected to the internet

Reliable as fuck.

I thought the aliens deactivated all the nukes. No reason to upgrade the system if it doesn't exist anymore.

this is a good thing though
