The fun fact about the radio-stop "attack" is that it's almost 50 years old, and they didnt secure it to this day, 40 years ago it was secure, because regular people didnt have access to radio equipement. Also regarding the quote from 4:02 , I think they said the same thing in 2019 but with the difference that it was supposed to be ready in 2023.

Genius. This was my first idea for TOR as well. Proof of work is exactly how you solve these sorts of problems. Its probably not gonna be as strong as you think it is. Even a very low power proof of work substantially reduces the threat from someone DDoSing, since they would need so many devices to make a substantial effect. A small proof of work scales with the number of devices you need doing it. So a normal user doesn't even notice it, but a mid size botnet slows down by a decent chunk. Has a good effect the more bots you are dealing with, but if your fighting what is described as a large scale botnet in this video your gonna have a hard time no matter what. Its simply impossible at that point to scale accordingly, because your proof of work would have to be as slow as the botnet would make you slow down - basically rendering your efforts useless, because if you don't use the PoW its gonna be slow from the attack, and if you match and use an equivalent to current load PoW no normal person is going to be able to use your network. An appropriate scaling algorithm would need to be in place, to perhaps logarithmically increase to a set cap (asymptote) which is the maximum tolerable PoW for normal users. I would look into it more, maybe make a video on it.... if I thought anyone would watch lmao

As someone who has experience with radio and railway and also lives in Poland, it's nothing new. It got so much attention from media because National Railway Administration, PKP PLK, decided to post it about it on social media, not they try to fix the leaking sewage that is leaking since. Radiostop was abused way, way earlier by people. I also speculate that it wasn't done by Pro-Russian sabotages, but by a group of young people that like trainspotting and find this type of “fun” entertaining. When it comes to GSM-R there's still a lot of to do, especially after one of the consortium companies went bankrupt. Tl;dr It's rather just annoying type of fun for someone and everyone will forget about it in a week or two.

Things like trains or healthcare are out of question, because people use those services and need them daily.

And if you're asking "why trains" - then imagine if someone hacked into your car and could theoretically do anything. Some stunts like this have been demonstrated before, and it was a Jeep model that connected to the Internet. Attackers were able to remotely shut down the engine, while the car was at full speed on the highway! They could easily take over steering and send the car flying down a cliff. Scale that up to trains, or railways in general. Imagine being able to control the railway crossings, sending one train directly into another one moving in an opposite direction. Hundreds or even thousands of people riding the trains. That would definitely count as cyber terrorism.

i think authentication for radiostop should be done by the hardware not someone entering a password. in an emergency the train needs to be stopped now not 30 seconds later as soon as a password is entered. if it isnt being done already polands fcc should have a system of radio signal tracers so they can trace the signal so the authorities can trace them. imagine a scenario like this where there is a train sharing the same track and the train in front only a couple miles away is on fire and is stopped and evacuating and it is on a high speed track with another train behind only a couple miles away. if they had to login and authenticate in the few seconds it takes to verify the identity the train could have moved a good part of the mile or so and if not done fast enough the train could crash into the one being evacuated. maybe even leave the system as is and as long as no one can get hurt outside of inertia induced bruises by the pranks then just charge them with calling in false emergency or something.
