Cloud security monitoring

Moving data and applications to the cloud presents a new challenge for corporate SOCs, which are not always ready to monitor other people's infrastructure. According to Netoskope, the average enterprise (apparently in the US) uses 1246 different cloud services, which is 22% more than a year ago. 1246 cloud services!!! 175 of them relate to HR services, 170 are related to marketing, 110 […]

NASA to test 'quiet' supersonic aircraft using 48km microphone array

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to soon test the experimental supersonic aircraft X-59 QueSST, developed by Lockheed Martin. The X-59 QueSST differs from conventional supersonic aircraft in that when it breaks the sound barrier, it produces a dull bang instead of a strong sonic boom. In the United States, since the 70s, flights of supersonic aircraft over populated […]

Load balancing in Openstack

In large cloud systems, the issue of automatic balancing or leveling the load on computing resources is especially acute. Tionix (a developer and operator of cloud services, part of the Rostelecom group of companies) has also taken care of this issue. And, since our main development platform is Openstack, and we, like all people, are lazy, it was decided to select some kind of ready-made module, which […]

Internet for everyone, for nothing, and let no one leave offended

Race of minds - how smart electric vehicles compete

Why do we love auto racing? For their unpredictability, the intense struggle of the pilots’ characters, high speed and instant retribution for the slightest mistake. The human factor in racing means a lot. But what happens if people are replaced by software? The organizers of Formula E and the British venture capital fund Kinetik, created by former Russian official Denis Sverdlov, are confident that something special will turn out. And at [...]

When 'a' is not equal to 'a'. On the trail of a hack

A most unpleasant story happened to one of my friends. But as unpleasant as it turned out to be for Mikhail, it was just as entertaining for me. I must say that my friend is quite a UNIX user: he can install the system himself, install mysql, php and make the simplest nginx settings. And he has a dozen or one and a half websites dedicated to construction tools. One of these sites dedicated to chainsaws is quite […]
