Are you indicating everyone should be able to own a weapon then? Despite being incapacitated in some way, which may lead to injury of themself or others.

Isn't the whole point of a gun to kill people though, unlike a car?

You're not thinking of Indistinguishability Obfuscation per chance?

https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/02/21/cryptogr... seems an interesting article.

Ah, I was wondering where the link was, that explains it.

Heh cheers, I just found /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/brightness :)

Gotcha, cheers

A lot of GNU Radio is actually written in C++. Looking at some examples, it seems you don't need Python to create the flow graph either, that can be done in C++.

Sure I can see that, but isn't a base station implementation just as complex?

I'm confused, there seems to be open base station implementations such as OpenBTS, why is there no SDR based cellphone already I wonder?, as that'd be really neat in my opinion.

Hi. What makes it industrial grade out of interest? Under the hood are you using microcontrollers or..?

Could you give some more information on the controller.

Cheers

Am I right in thinking from watching the CCC talk though, that you can simply use another computer to do the debugging, as they show a debugging cable which crosses over wires.

I assume "USB Debug" option in my BIOS refers to this feature, however it did seem to be shipped "Disabled" for me.

I saw their product on Dragons' Den yesterday.

I found it rather surprising as I've bought similar bluetooth key fobs, from Aliexpress for around $1.40 each and they mentioned they where planning on selling them for around £20.

I just found this:

"Wiki leaks falsely ID's someone while trying to demonstrate why a mass dox list isn't a terrible waste of their time."

The lack of multiple levels of menus is something I noticed with Ghost too, when I last played with it.

Also I'm wondering, with Squarespace, it's not clear whether you can install on your own server or not

I'm very interested in the Kong Feng GB Boy Colour he mentioned, I'd love to know how they copied the GameBoy CPU etc. through decapping.

There's a table of contents of the book at: https://www.nostarch.com/hardwarehacker

I'm really looking forward to getting my copy :)

Yup, that's correct, the channels seem to be: #33c3-hall-1 #33c3-hall-2 #33c3-hall-6 #33c3-hall-g

Technically I don't think it is an SDR, as it's not using software to generate arbitrary modulation schemes. The chip is capable of transmitting data through certain modulations.

http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/landing/cc1111/ - is the chip they're using.

Wow, that's disgraceful, I hope they sort it out.

Ooh thanks a lot for the heads up!

I used a time of flight sensor in an attempt to measure the specific gravity of beer - https://www.anfractuosity.com/projects/zymeter-simple/

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12784 - Is the little board I used, and used a logic level converter.

I attached a little polystyrene circle to the top of the hydrometer, for the IR to bounce off.

Unfortunately the approach didn't work too well because of yeast krausen pushing the hydrometer about.

This sounds very cool, I'm curious what wavelengths of IR they can convert.

That sounds really fun :) I've heard good things about the Swissflow flow meters, for monitoring beer flow to the tap, but they're _really_ expensive :(

I'm currently working on trying to crack an electronic safe lock based on the awesome DEFCON talk by Plore ( https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2024/DEF%20CON%2024%20pre... )

I don't think the photos are exactly up-to-date, but I currently have an STM32F429 DISCO dev board, configured with a ladder DAC, so I can generate the analog keypresses for the safelock via my laptop, the board also sets a pin high to force my oscilloscope to trigger and capture the voltage from my ucurrent, which is hooked up to the battery of the safe-lock.

I'm also trying to get some iron nanoparticles, if I can find them cheap enough, in order to try to optically image a floppy disk.

I've got some images from one in the link below, but that was using a magnetic developer, with much larger particles.

Yeah that's a good point I've got a module which uses http://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/EZRadioPRO/Pages/si4...

The chip itself covers 119–1050 MHz, but the modules I have, have filters on to allow only narrower ranges.

I really wish there were cheaper Tx capable SDRs, as they look like a lot of fun! The cheapest ones I've seen at the moment seem to be around $200 hackrfs from aliexpress.

Yeah I agree it's a really cool hack! I wonder if they could have even used multiple chips to increase the resolution, assuming they could re-package the silicon to minimise gaps between them.

One of the books I really love is "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy. Which shows the inventiveness of those guys!

With respect to AI, that sounds really interesting, I'd not thought a lone researcher could create something so complex, but that would be really awesome. One of the projects I find really fascinating is OpenWorm, if I recall correctly they have a bunch of videos, where the neurons of the C. Elegans worm have been recorded optically and they're creating their model from those.

I love how it sounds like it's a re-purposed memory chip used for the camera.
