For better or worse, pets often serve as inspiration and test subjects for hardware hacks: smarten up that hamster wheel, tweet the squirrel hunting adventures from a dog’s point of view, or automate and remote control a reptile enclosure. [TheYOSH], a gecko breeder from the Netherlands, chose the latter and wrote TerrariumPi for the Raspberry Pi to control and monitor his exotic companion’s home through a convenient web interface.
The right ecosystem is crucial to the health and happiness of any animal that isn’t native to its involuntarily chosen surroundings. Simulating temperature, humidity and lighting of its natural habitat should …read more

To understand the Integrated Adaptive Cyber Defense system that U.S. banks and other financial institutions agreed to adopt this week, you have to think about plumbing. “When you go to the hardware store to buy plumbing supplies, you don’t have to wonder ‘Will this fit with the plumbing I already have in my home?’ because there are universal standards,” said Tony Sager, senior vice president and chief evangelist for the Center for Internet Security. The idea of the Integrated Adaptive Cyber Defense (IACD) system is to bring that approach to cybersecurity, explained Sager, who was a senior executive at the National Security Agency for many years. Government entities like the Pentagon and industries like banking “spend millions on these tools … and then they can’t work together,” he said, because of completely different architectures or proprietary interfaces. Many of the latest tools come equipped with an application programming interface (API) — essentially a software […]

Microsoft has released a beta version of the Teams PowerShell module. The only problem is that the module is not very good. In fact, the module is very disappointing because it does not contain the cmdlets that an Office 365 administrator might except to automate operations around Teams. Maybe the 1.0 release will be better. We can only hope!

When you move from one-off builds to production scale, perhaps to meet that Kickstarter commitment or to keep your Tindie store stocked, you’re going to need to tool up. Jobs like building wiring harnesses can be tedious and time-consuming, so outsourcing them to this robot wire cutter might be a good idea.
The video below tells the whole tale of this build, which despite the fact that [Maclsk] seems to have put it together quickly from scrap bin parts still looks pretty professional. The business end of the machine is a 3D printer extruder, minus the hot end, of course. …read more

HashiCorp is probably best known for Terraform, its open source tool for automatically provisioning infrastructure by describing it as code. But the company also offers a whole range of additional open source security tools and products that enable multi-cloud deployments, as well as enterprise versions of these tools that add features for larger teams on top of these free version. Today,… Read More Continue reading HashiCorp raises $40M for its cloud infrastructure automation services
Excel sheets are very common files in corporate environments. It’s definitively not a security tool but it’s not rare to find useful information stored in such files. When these data must be processed for threat hunting or to collect IOC’s, it is mandatory to automate, as much as possible, the processing
