Collaborate Disseminate
A group of influential technology and media companies has partnered to form the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), a Joint Development Foundation project established to address the prevalence of disinformation, misinformation and… Continue reading IT leaders form coalition to develop open standard for tracing the evolution of digital content
For any smaller and larger software product that aims to be compatible with Apple’s MacOS, the recent introduction of its ARM-based Apple Silicon processors and MacBooks to go with them came as a bit of a shock. Suddenly one of …read more

For many years now, the so-called ‘Blue Pill’ STM32 MCU development board has been a staple in the hobbyist community. Finding its origins as an apparent Maple Mini clone, the diminutive board is easily to use in breadboard projects thanks …read more

Linker scripts are one of those things which nobody who does software development really wants to deal with, but like many things in life sometimes they are inevitable to make things work. Although one could keep pretending linker scripts do …read more

How to compile or cross-compile StrongSwan (VPN) for the Android Kernel. I’m not talking about the .APK but the c++ binaries from the source code.
I read the official documentation which talks about compiling StrongSwan for compiling stron… Continue reading StrongSwan compiled for Android Kernel root [migrated]
Trusting kernel drivers is bad. Is there something we can do to have at least an idea about what it does?
For example, let’s suppose an armv8a linux kernel. I’d search for all the syscalls, which according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/12… Continue reading Is it possible to determinate which functions a kernel module calls?
I know that anything can be exploited. But let’s say I want to prevent thieves that do not have access to not openly available exploits, to reset my phone so he can sell.
If no openly available exploits exist, then he’d be left with the options of factory resetting (which I opened a question about here: Is Android’s system recovery a firmware thing or Android thing? Can factory reset be prevented?) or flashing a brand new Android.
Is there a way I can prevent him of flashing a new OS at all? This, combined with not being able to factory reset, would render the phone useless (unless he sells its parts).

I’m researching on how to protect my phone from being able to be reseted by thieves. Doing some research online I figured out that the main method of putting a stolen phone to work again is to do a factory reset through rebooting and using… Continue reading Is Android’s system recovery a firmware thing or Android thing? Can factory reset be prevented?
Since the late 60s, Moore’s law has predicted with precision that the number of semiconductors that will fit on a chip about doubles every two years. While this means more and more powerful computers, every year, it also means that old computers can be built on smaller and cheaper hardware. …read more
What makes a cyberdeck? Looking as though it came from an alternate reality version of the 1980s is a good start, but certainly isn’t required. If you’re really trying to adhere to the cyberpunk ethos, any good deck should be modular enough that it can be easily repaired and upgraded …read more
