Interestingly Microsoft aren't the only manufacturer to use the Nordic chipset for their "proprietary" 2.4GHz keyboards. I believe that Logitech's system is based on the same protocol. I'm unsure if Logitech keyboa

I believe that the two year old Option ROM vulnerability to which this post refers was this one described by Loukas(snare) at Black Hat and Ruxcon 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcFvgAsfdqg Although I may be wrong, i

This was my exact thought and it would be even simpler if Monotub[0] or Orbit[1] existed/worked. I know this is really about AI challenges rather than washing clothes, but the list of steps seems more complex than it needs to be. For e

A terrible example of relying on colour includes the braille at some Melbourne train stations[1]. It appears that someone directly translated the phrase "Press green button" rather than using left or right. [1] http://

You may be able to pick up a board based on the Atheros AR9331, Alfa made one called the Hornet-UB [1], although I can only find them second hand (look for wifi pineapple mk4 for on ebay). If you're looking to design your own hardware,

I love seeing all of these cheap ARM boards coming on to the market. I am a big fan of the BeagleBone Black but the supply problems recently have had me looking around for an alternative. Unfortunately my project uses the USB device port an

There was a great talk at Defcon in 2009 about sniffing keystrokes with voltmeters and lasers. It's worth watching the video[1] if you're interested in this audio technique. The first part of their presentation uses a novel metho

There's definitely a lot of variety in the London rental market, which isn't surprising given the size and age. I've had central controls, single thermostats, thermostatic radiator valves and, in one particularly sketchy conv

This is anecdotal evidence from my own experience, so take it with a pinch of salt. I work on an open hardware project[1], I believe that we lose a significant portion of users (~50%) at each step deeper in to the development process. It se

There is an ISP switch on the board and the pins for programming may be on the header labeled "debug", although it's likely that those are JTAG. Either way, it should be easy to reprogram it. Not sure what you would do with

Bluetooth is certainly one possibility, although libpcap can be used for a broad range of protocols, including USB and CAN, which are other candidates in a system like this. Everything in this header that starts with DLT_ is a supported dat
