Going from idea to one-off widget is one thing; engineering the widget into a marketable product is quite another. So sometimes it’s instructive to take an in-depth look at a project that was designed from the get-go to be a consumer product, like this power indicating wall outlet cover plate. The fact that it’s a pretty cool project helps too.
Although [Vitaliy] has been working on this project for a while, he only recently tipped us off to it, and we’re glad he did because there’s a lot to learn here. His goal was to build a replacement cover for …read more

Management consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton is acquiring Morphick, a small, Cincinnati-based cybersecurity firm which has developed a digital platform for threat detection, breach investigation and response. Booz Allen Hamilton announced the agreement to purchase Morphick in a press release on Friday, saying the acquisition will bolster the cybersecurity profile available to clients. Company executives explained that the acquisition will complement existing cybersecurity services already provided by Booz Allen Hamilton. “The addition of the Morphick team and technology further solidifies the firm’s ability to solve increasingly advanced cyber challenges,” said Booz Allen Hamilton President and CEO Horacio Rozanski. The consulting giant already offers threat intelligence products through another service called Cyber4Sight. Morphick, a firm of about 40 people, sells a managed detection and response service, which can provide “organizations with the ability to effectively detect and remediate cyber attacks of all types; ranging from zero-day exploits and privilege escalation to ransomware,” according to […]

Two well-funded cybersecurity firms jumped into a public relations fight Wednesday after one alleged that the other had allowed third parties to profit off leaked sensitive customer data. Direct Defense President Jim Broome wrote in a blog post published Wednesday that his firm had found evidence of improper conduct on the part of Carbon Black, a seller of endpoint security software products. Direct Defense, a managed and full service provider of security offerings, said it found an apparent flaw in the architecture of a popular Carbon Black product named Cb Response. This flaw allegedly allowed for a leak of sensitive customer information onto multi-scanning services like VirusTotal, a popular malware repository. The inadvertently leaked data, according to Broome, could be resold by third parties. “Files uploaded by Cb Response customers first go to Carbon Black (or their local Carbon Black server instance), but then are immediately forwarded to a cloud-based […]

Every day, we see people building things. Sometimes, useful things. Very rarely, this thing becomes a product, but even then we don’t hear much about the ins and outs of manufacturing a bunch of these things or the economics of actually selling them. This past weekend at Shmoocon, [Conor Patrick] gave the crowd the inside scoop on selling a few hundred two factor authentication tokens. What started as a hobby is now a legitimate business, thanks to good engineering and abusing Amazon’s distribution program.
The product in question is the U2F Zero, an open source U2F token for two-factor authentication. …read more

Multi-talented hacker extraordinaire and electrical engineer [Akiba] is based in Japan, and this makes it just a hop, skip, and a jump over to Shenzhen, China, the hardware capital of the world. He’s led a number of manufacturing tours aimed at acquainting hackers with the resources there, and now he’s giving you the benefit of his experience in a 30-minute video. It’s great.
When [Akiba] is in Shenzhen, he picks up all the same commodity parts that you would, because they’re just so cheap. And Hua Qiang Bei is its epicenter: it’s a gigantic market for components, and they’re …read more
