Exploring the Impact of AI Assistants Like GitHub Copilot on Code Security

Submitted by

A group of researchers from Stanford University studied the impact of using intelligent assistants when writing code on the appearance of vulnerabilities in the code. We considered solutions based on the OpenAI Codex machine learning platform, such as GitHub Copilot, which allow you to generate fairly complex code blocks, up to ready-made functions. The concern stems from the fact that since real […]

Doom port code for push-button phones based on Spreadtrum SC6531 chip published

Submitted by

As part of the FPDoom project, a port of the Doom game for push-button phones based on the Spreadtrum SC6531 chip was prepared. Modifications of the Spreadtrum SC6531 chip occupy about half of the market of cheap push-button phones of Russian brands (as a rule, the rest are on MediaTek MT6261). The chip is based on the ARM926EJ-S processor with a frequency of 208 MHz (SC6531E) or 312 MHz (SC6531DA), the architecture of the ARMv5TEJ processor. The complexity of porting is due to the following […]

Using your smartphone's motion sensors to listen in on conversations

Submitted by

A group of researchers from five American universities has developed the EarSpy side-channel attack technique, which allows listening to conversations on the phone by analyzing information from motion sensors. The method is based on the fact that modern smartphones are equipped with a sufficiently sensitive accelerometer and gyroscope, which also respond to vibrations induced by the device's low-power loudspeaker, which is used when communicating without a speakerphone. By using […]

Codon, compiler for Python published

Submitted by

Startup Exaloop has published the code of the Codon project, which develops a compiler for the Python language, capable of generating pure machine code as output, not tied to the Python runtime. The compiler is developed by the authors of the Python-like language Seq and is positioned as a continuation of its development. The project also offers its own runtime for executable files and a library of functions that replaces library calls in the Python language. Compiler source code, […]

Google Publishes Magritte Library for Hiding Faces in Videos and Photos

Submitted by

Google has introduced the magritte library, which is designed to automatically hide faces in photos and videos, for example, to ensure the privacy of people accidentally caught in the frame. Hiding faces makes sense when creating collections of images and videos that are submitted for analysis to third-party researchers or posted publicly (for example, when publishing panoramas and photos on Google Maps or […]
