TL;DR summary of stories on the internet
Summary: The authors discuss a security flaw in Wi-Fi routers’ NAT mapping handling that allows attackers to bypass TCP’s randomization leading to off-path TCP hijacking attacks. They provide attack steps, empirical study results on vulnerable routers, and mitigation strategies such as random port allocation and TCP window checking. They have informed affected manufacturers, with some […]

The Apple II disk controller cards are numerous, rare, and expensive, but an FPGA-based solution may provide a universal fix. The project began with the hope of creating a clone of the Liron disk controller, sparking interest in retro collectors. The design utilizes a Lattice MachXO2 FPGA and 74LVC245 chips for level conversion. The prototype […]
Humans began rapidly accumulating technological knowledge through social learning around 600,000 years ago, allowing for the development of complex solutions to problems. A study by Arizona State University researchers analyzed changes in stone tool manufacturing techniques over 3.3 million years, concluding that after 600,000 years ago, the complexity of manufacturing sequences rapidly increased. Tool-assisted foraging […]
Cadence recently displayed its optical connectivity solution for PCIe 7.0 at the PCI-SIG DevCon 2024, showcasing the first-ever demonstration of 128 GT/s PCIe 7.0 over optics. While the PCIe 7.0 specification is still in progress, Cadence’s technical expertise was evident in this proof-of-concept. The optical solution achieved a pre-FEC BER of ~3E-8, meeting PCIe requirements. […]
