3D Printed Raspberry Pi NAS with Dual Drive Bays

Posted on by

While it might not pack the computational punch you’d usually be looking for in a server platform, you can’t beat how cheap the Raspberry Pi is. As such, it’s at the heart of many a home LAN, serving up files as a network attached storage (NAS) device.

You may have wanted to lower the total cost a bit by getting a cheap case, but then you’d be stuck looking at some econo-box day in and day out. Plus, how do you post pictures online to boast about your latest build if there are no transparent windows and a lighting kit?

Posted on by

A Samba remote code execution flaw patched in May is being exploited to compromise IoT devices running on different architectures (MIPS, ARM, PowerPC, etc.), Trend Micro researchers warn. Samba is an open source implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, which provides Linux/Unix servers with Windows-based file and print services. It runs on most Linux, Unix and Unix-like systems. Since the public revelation of its existence, the so-called SambaCry vulnerability (CVE-2017-7494) has been misused by attackers … More → Continue reading Attackers are taking over NAS devices via SambaCry flaw→
