Researcher Releases Smart Meter Hacking Tool Security consulting firm SecureState today released a new open source hacking tool that it claims will let security researchers and penetration testers verify the security of electric utility smart meters being installed in millions of homes around the country. The tool, called Termineter, is available for public download from SecureState's website and will be demonstrated at the BSides security event in Las Vegas next week. The company had earlier sent out a stripped down version of the tool to a limited number of individuals. Security consultancy InGuardians had planned to publicly release details of a similar tool called OptiGuard at the Shmoocon security conference a few months ago. InGuardian is scheduled to disclose details of its tool at the Black Hat security conference also being held in Las Vegas next week. Power companies and utilities will be able to use Termineter to identify and validate internal flaws that make the meters vulnerable to hacking and tampering, he said.

mad.lesoir.be C'est un paysage fascinant de verdure, de montagne et de brume. Une vue géante (près de quatre mètres de haut sur trois de large) du Yosemite Park aux Etats-Unis. L'effet est saisissant, plein de vie, de couleurs et de mystère. Depuis 2009, David Hockney a découvert avec émerveillement les possibilités de l'iPhone, puis de l'iPad. En quelques mois, il a développé une technique impressionnante, dessinant avec le pouce sur son iPhone. Avec deux différences de taille : d'une part, la tablette enregistre toutes les étapes du dessin. Le résultat, présenté à la Royal Academy de Londres, dans un vaste ensemble de son travail centré sur le paysage, est véritablement bluffant. On retrouve avec plaisir des huiles de ses débuts, d'autres réalisées ces dernières années dans la campagne anglaise.

About · Blog · FAQ · Terms Forecast © 2012, info@foreca.st How to Make Your Own Network Cables Although it’s easy to head to the electronics store to buy network cables, making do with cables of predetermined lengths can be a problem. More often than not, premade cables are either too short (and require coupling) or too long (in which case, you have to tie up excess cabling and tuck it away somewhere). The end result is usually a mess of extra network cable, wrapped and bundled up alongside your devices and network switches. It works, but it isn't ideal, and it looks horrible. You don't have to deal with premade network cables of incorrect lengths, however. Getting Started To make your own network cables, you need some raw CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable (a composite cable consisting of four twisted pairs of internal wires), some RJ45 connectors, and a proper crimping/wire-cutting tool. The cost of a network-wiring toolkit may be prohibitive to people who want to make only a few cables. Wiring Schemes You'll find a couple of standard wiring schemes and types of network cables.

PayPal Launches PayPal Here, A Competitor To Square Designed By Yves Behar Today, Paypal announced PayPal Here, a triangle-shaped mobile creditcard-swiping gadget aimed directly at Jack Dorsey's reader, Square. And, just like Square, they’re aiming to convert customers with the power of their design: They tapped Fuseproject, the firm run by Yves Behar and a darling among Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, to create the object. Obviously, the $4 billion in transactions being done every year on Square were an enticing market for PayPal. But PayPal is also trying migrate into offline, physical transactions. The gadget works similarly to Square, offering a simple attachment and merchant app that allows iPhones and Android smartphones to do the work of a cash register, swiping credit and debit cards, and tracking receipts. But PayPal differs somewhat in market strategy: The company is hoping to become a full-on electronic wallet. But back to PayPal Here. But more interesting may be the symbolic elements.
