Gregor Aisch – driven by data

moritz.stefaner.eu - / Deep Web Research 2010 Bots, Blogs and News Aggregators is a keynote presentation that I have been delivering over the last several years, and much of my information comes from the extensive research that I have completed over the years into the "invisible" or what I like to call the "deep" web. The Deep Web covers somewhere in the vicinity of 1 trillion pages of information located through the world wide web in various files and formats that the current search engines on the Internet either cannot find or have difficulty accessing. The current search engines find about 200 billion pages at the present time of this writing. In the last several years, some of the more comprehensive search engines have written algorithms to search the deeper portions of the world wide web by attempting to find files such as .pdf, .doc, .xls, ppt, .ps. and others. This Deep Web Research 2010 article is divided into the following sections: ARTICLES, PAPERS, FORUMS, AUDIOS AND VIDEOS (Current and Historical) Metadata?

Nicholas Felton | Feltron.com An Atlas of Cyberspaces This is an atlas of maps and graphic representations of the geographies of the new electronic territories of the Internet, the World-Wide Web and other emerging Cyberspaces. These maps of Cyberspaces - cybermaps - help us visualise and comprehend the new digital landscapes beyond our computer screen, in the wires of the global communications networks and vast online information resources. The cybermaps, like maps of the real-world, help us navigate the new information landscapes, as well being objects of aesthetic interest. They have been created by 'cyber-explorers' of many different disciplines, and from all corners of the world. Some of the maps you will see in the Atlas of Cyberspaces will appear familiar, using the cartographic conventions of real-world maps, however, many of the maps are much more abstract representations of electronic spaces, using new metrics and grids. The atlas comprises separate pages, covering different types of cybermaps. (© Copyright - Martin Dodge, 2007.

Crowdsourcing For Humanities Research Watch_Dogs WeareData L’attaque de l’année ! Même dans des situations où on pense que son système de sécurité est infaillible, les hackers font preuve d'une imagination sans limite. Dernier exemple avec la société Netragard qui a pratiqué un audit chez l'un de ses clients, dont le système informatique était hyper sérieux, avec tout un tas de règles très strictes sur l'utilisation des réseaux sociaux, des téléphones, et sur l'accès physique aux ordinateurs. Et pourtant, Netraguard a réussi sans se déplacer à avoir accès à un ordinateur de l'entreprise (et donc à l'intranet et à tout le reste...). Comment ? Grâce à une souris "Cheval de Troie" qui a été modifiée pour contenir un micro contrôleur s'activant 60 secondes après que la souris soit branchée sur l'ordinateur, et capable de "taper" des choses aux clavier... Sans avoir besoin d'Autorun (qui de toute façon était désactivé), le micro controlleur Teensy a alors pu exécuter un malware fait maison, et stockée dans une mémoire flash placée à l'intérieur de la souris.

Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis | Spatial History Project — Humanities + Design — Literary Lab [INFOGRAPHIE] Une visualisation de l’histoire de la philosophie. | Philovideo.com Voici une visualisation de l’histoire de la philosophie du point de vue des relations entre les philosophes. Cette carte heuristique a été conçue en deux étapes. La première consiste en l’extraction de la rubrique « Influenced by » de la page Wikipedia (anglais) de chacun des philosophes. La deuxième en l’élaboration d’un réseau et de la représentation visuelle grâce au logiciel Gephi. Bien que cette initiative soit intéressante, nous pouvons y regretter deux choses. Toutefois, une tentative analogue s’appuyant sur une base de données plus crédible, par exemple celle du Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ou des Presses Universitaires de France, pourrait corriger ces deux lacunes et s’avérer utile à l’intelligence de l’histoire de la philosophie. source: Drunks&Lampposts Like this: J'aime chargement…
