The implementation of DDIO in Intel chips allows for a network attack specifically targeting keystrokes in an SSH session.

A group of researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and ETH Zurich has developed a network attack technique called NetCAT (Network Cache Attack), which allows remote identification of the keys pressed by a user during an SSH session by applying data analysis methods through side channels. This issue occurs only on servers that utilize RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) and DDIO technologies […]

Fuel monitoring for diesel generators in data centers – how to do it and why it is so important?

The quality of the power supply system is a crucial indicator of the service level of a modern data center. This is clear: absolutely all equipment necessary for the operation of the data center relies on electricity. Without it, servers, networks, engineering systems, and storage arrays will cease to function until power is fully restored. We explain the role that diesel fuel and our monitoring system play in ensuring the uninterrupted operation of Linxdatacenter in St. Petersburg […]

PoE over distances of 200+ meters. Monitoring and automatic restart of PoE clients

In my experience, powering a device and getting an image from it at a considerable distance from the switch turned out to be quite challenging. Especially when multiple cameras are connected with networks at different distances from a single device. Any moderately complex device tends to hang periodically. Some do so less often, while others more frequently, and this is a given. Most often, this is resolved… right… with this: […]

Archive of physics problems for school Olympiads.

After many years of working in schools, I have created a database of physics problems for preparing for Olympiads. Problems can be searched by relevant topics, levels, and grades. Then they can be sent for printing, or shared via a link with students. And although I am no longer working in schools, I decided that it would be a shame for the good to go to waste. The site is free of ads and other monetization. If you are a teacher […]
