Day one, it is a wrap. Ballot-marking device completely pwned with new method - new discoveries with the precinct scanners. Spirit of discoveries was strong. #defcon29 #electionsecurity #electionintegrity

Department of Justice has issued clarifications how federal laws restrict post-election audits and especially how the governance of the election material has to be organized. Very much needed document. #ElectionSecurity #ElectionIntegrity

7/Critics say “But look at all the ballots that ARE checked!” They don’t matter. It is only the hacked but undetected ballots that matter. BTW even if you ignore steps 3&4, the math doesn’t change much. The adversary still has an overwhelming advantage. Only the margin changes.

6/ a single report of a changed ballot is not enough to shut down the voting (otherwise, adversaries could easily mount a denial of service attack), which means that the other 99 incorrect ballots will be counted along with all the other correct ballots.

1/ The math behind this report is unforgiving & brings the risk of universal-use BMDs into focus: If an adversary changes at most 10% of the ballots in a 1000 voter precinct, with near certainty all those 100 fraudulent ballots will be cast unnoticed.

We have been educating stakeholders why we need to invest into security and take this seriously to make sure that vulnerabilities of the election system are mitigated and fixed. Being vulnerable is no evidence that it was hacked, every steps should be taken to protect our system.

Many people are asking questions about timing marks alignment. See page 56. We superimposed all ballots and the timing marks aligning. We superimposed the ballots in smaller groups to root out small number of bad scans. Timing marks are good.

Gold Standard documentaries, like HBO documentaries, follow strict ethics rules. One of those rules is that subjects of the documentaries are not compensated for their appearing in the documentaries.

1/ Both of those allegations are false. Neither @HarriHursti nor @philipbstark was compensated for appearing in Kill Chain, a documentary. Purpose was to show true situation in US, which pre-existed 2016 and continues. None of us is being paid to prove 2020 was secure....

Will be part of the report - you actually need to make a cheap and easy to make tool. Costing few dollars and reusable.

Now when it is known that the powder can become a problem, we disassembled an identical machine and found an easy way to clean it in seconds. The maintenance records of the machine which had the highest error rate indicate that it may have been cleaned last time 2015.

This is how the ballots start their journey. The machine used to print the ballots, followed by imprinting the score line. Majority of the white dust was not paper dust. It is remains a product used in printing process. @WAuditors #ElectionSecurity #ElectionIntegrity

Here is the complete Ballot Specification Guide for the system used in New Hampshire. It is the same guide for everyone across the world using this system. This specifies how the ballots are produced.

This is the offset powder storage and distribution to spray heads unit. This is the the actual Heidelberg offset press printing machine used to print all ballots used in New Hampshire for this and previous elections. Before anyone asks, I grew up in printing factories.

As I said, the basic interpreter is the main root cause of the known vulnerabilities :

There is an executable token code on the card. It is interpreted by proprietary BASIC interpreter on the EPROMs. That's the key of all vulnerabilities known about this system. Without it I could had not hacked this machine - and because this is an old system, it can be mitigated.

He asked again a very important question about the root of all vulnerabilities known about this machine. Yes, there is an executable token code on the card. The interpreter is on the EPROMs. Only because this is a very old system design is can be mitigated. twitter.com/notabotpaul/st

Wrong. Zero Tape prints out automatically when machine is turned on with card in the Election Mode. Zero Tape cannot be commanded to print. Memory card mode has to be first resetted from Post-Election to back to Pre-Election, Election prepared & unit turned off. Check your video

Also, you are still using wrong manual. Your manual is from 2002 and the software used in NH is from 2009. I have pointed out to you multiple times your wrong doc and you have posted front page of more recent one. You are purposefully using wrong manual to confuse your audience?

Those are the audit reports which were printed before anything else was done. The reports were circulated in the room for everyone who wanted to take pictures to do so. And because those were the very first things circulated in the room, dozens did so. See below:

The correct place for the folding is in a safe zone between the timing marks. The printer uses a metal wedge with high pressure to create a scoring line, a weakness where paper naturally folds. Scoring also removes the ink and makes it distinguishable from a folding.

We have identified what were the contributing factors to cause the discrepancy. Understanding the factors underlines that nothing was stolen. Circumstances for this error are rare and did not change the outcome. It's the folding machine rented by the town with incorrect settings.

Why showing on the live stream the contents and comparison of the the memory cards was significant: The system does not have files. Malware or "algorithm" would need two things: trigger to start and place to live and store parameters. We showed that neither was there.

FALSE. We said that it could NOT connect to the Internet no matter what, but furthermore, NH has disabled the ports to make sure that it can not connect to anything at all. The intended use of those ports were to connect the unit to Election Management System over copper lines.

I see a claim that the voting NH machine could be made to be Internet capable by using PCMCIA slot. You are reading a manual of a wrong model of machine: Accuvote-TS Touch Screen machine which is a decade newer. PCMCIA standard did not exist when this machine was made.

And I wrote report to warn about the problem and developed mitigation strategies to protect the system against the exploitation. Being expert is not a conflict of interest. Arguments here suggest that everyone qualified should be excluded leaving only inexperienced as acceptable?

Logic and Accuracy Testing has nothing to do with machine certification. L&A is for testing election specific parameters like ballot definition & overall machine operations like calibration. Failing L&A means that the unit needs maintenance or an issue in the election definition.
