Enlarged Miniature Forklift

How do you classify something that is gigantic and miniature at the same time? LEGO kit 850, from 1977 when it was known as an Expert Builder set, was 210 modular blocks meant to be transformed into a forklift nearly 140mm tall. [Matt Denton] scaled up the miniature pieces but it still produced a smaller-than-life forklift. This is somewhere in the creamy middle because his eight-year-old nephew can sit on it but most adults would demolish their self-esteem if they attempted the same feat.

[Matt] has been seen before building these modular sets from enlarged LEGO blocks, like his Quintuple-Sized …read more

Educational Robot for Under $100

While schools have been using robots to educate students in the art of science and engineering for decades now, not every school or teacher can afford to put one of these robots in the hands of their students. For that reason, it’s important to not only improve the robots themselves, but to help drive the costs down to make them more accessible. The CodiBot does this well, and comes in with a price tag well under $100.

The robot itself comes pre-assembled, and while it might seem like students would miss out on actually building the robot, the goal of …read more

Banana Phone Blocks Robocalls

Despite the implementation of the National Do Not Call Registry in the US (and similar programs in other countries), many robocallers still manage to get around the system. Whether they’re operating outside the law somehow (or they simply don’t care about it) there are some ways you can take action to keep these annoying calls from coming through. [Alex] is among those to take matters into his own hands and built a specialty robocall-blocking device.

Based on a Raspberry Pi, the “Banana Phone” is able to intercept incoming calls on standard land lines or VoIP phones. After playing a short …read more

Building Ubuntu Packages

Bruce Allen with the Navy Postgraduate School released hashdb 3.0 adding some great improvements for block hashing. My block hunting is mainly done on virtualized Ubuntu so I decided it was time to build a hashdb package. Figured I would document the steps as they could be used for the SANS SIFT, REMnux and many other great Ubuntu distributions too. 

1) Ubuntu 64-bit Server 16.04.1 hashdb Package Requirements

sudo apt-get install git autoconf build-essential libtool swig devscripts dh-make python-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libewf-dev libbz2-dev libtool-bin

2) Download hashdb from GitHub

3) Verify hashdb Version

cat hashdb/configure.ac | more










4) Rename hashdb Folder with Version Number

mv hashdb hashdb-3.0.0

5) Enter hashdb Folder

cd hashdb-3.0.0

6) Bootstrap GitHub Download

./bootstrap.sh

7) Configure hashdb Package

./configure

8) Make hashdb Package with a Valid Email Address for the Maintainer

dh_make -s -e email@example.com –packagename hashdb –createorig

9) Build hashdb Package

debuild -us -uc

                                  

10) Install hashdb

dpkg -i hashdb_3.0.0-1_amd64.deb

Alternatively, if you just wanted to try the new version of hashdb, I have setup a limited hosted package repository at packagecloud.io for Ubuntu 64-bit Server 16.04.1.

1) Add hashdb Repository

2)  Install hashdb

sudo apt-get install hashdb
