Collaborate Disseminate
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a tiny, proof of concept robot that moves its four limbs by rapidly igniting a combination of methane and oxygen inside flexible joints. The …read more Continue reading Micro Robot Disregards Gears, Embraces Explosions
I published the following diary on isc.sans.edu: “Jumping into Shellcode“: Malware analysis is exciting because you never know what you will find. In previous diaries, I already explained why it’s important to have a look at groups of interesting Windows API call to detect some behaviors. The classic example is code

Real-time, in-trip geolocation data isn’t good for traffic/bike lane planning, a draft of the suit says. What it’s good for is surveillance. Continue reading Uber to file federal suit against Los Angeles over users’ real-time location data
At first, we thought this robot was like a rabbit until we realized rabbits have a 300% bonus in the leg department. SALTO — a robot from [Justin Yim], [Eric Wang], and [Ronald Fearing] only has one leg but gets around quite well hopping from place to place. If you …read more
This month, the Los Angeles Department for Transportation will enter the next phase of collecting the real-time location of scooters like Lime and Bird. Continue reading EFF Says LA’s Scooter Location Data Could Unmask Individual Riders
Uber, which is pushing back against the requests for real-time location data of its JUMP scooters, was granted a provisional, month-long permit, while other companies received a full-year license. Continue reading Scooter Companies Split on Giving Real-Time Location Data to Los Angeles
Anton Chuvakin and I were having a fun debate a couple weeks ago about whether incremental improvements are worthwhile in infosec, or if it’s really necessary to “jump to the next curve” (phrase origin: Guy Kawasaki’s “Art of Innovation,” watch…
