Comparison Review of Portable Microwave Devices Arinst vs Anritsu

Posted on

A pair of devices from the Russian developer "Kroks" has arrived for an independent test review. These are quite compact radio frequency measurement devices, specifically: a spectrum analyzer with a built-in signal generator, and a vector network analyzer (reflectometer). Both devices have a frequency range of up to 6.2 GHz. There is interest in understanding whether these are just pocket-sized "meters" (toys), or truly noteworthy instruments, as the manufacturer positions them: […]

Release of multimedia package FFmpeg 4.2

Notable changes added in FFmpeg 4.2 include: the ability to use Clang for compiling files […]

The new Chrome features a mode that 'dims' any website.

Posted on

The "dark mode" feature in applications is no longer surprising anyone. This capability is available in all current operating systems, browsers, and many mobile and desktop applications. However, many websites still do not support this feature. But it seems that this isn't necessary. Developers at Google have added a flag in the Canary version of the browser that activates the corresponding design on various […]

Information disappointment

Posted on

Legitimized, legitimized by these forces, (and, as will be seen, temporarily) mainstream and capricious, legalized by the same hand, marginality – eternal historical companions and allies, alternately intercepting the complexed free will (which, moreover, is often denied in this freedom) – must base their relationships on the principle of dominance, and no other – for it is precisely in it that the archekey lies […]

Syncthing v1.2.1

Posted on

Syncthing is a program for synchronizing files between two or more devices. The latest version resolves the following issues: fs event was not generated when creating a new file; closing a nil channel when sending a stop signal to the client; the web interface displayed an incorrect description of the RC build when updates were disabled; the state value changed when the folder had not yet been started; pausing the folder resulted in an error. […]

Update of the free antivirus package ClamAV 0.101.3

Posted on

Cisco has released a patch for the free antivirus package ClamAV 0.101.3, which resolves a vulnerability that could trigger a denial of service by sending a specially crafted zip archive as an attachment. This issue is a variant of a non-recursive 'zip bomb', the unpacking of which requires a significant amount of time and resources. The essence of the method is to place data in the archive that achieves maximum compression for the zip format — […]

A method for detecting incognito mode browsing in Chrome 76 has been found.

Posted on

In Chrome 76, a loophole in the implementation of the FileSystem API was closed, which allowed the detection of incognito mode usage from web applications. Starting with Chrome 76, instead of blocking access to the FileSystem API, which was used as an indicator of incognito mode activity, the browser no longer restricts the FileSystem API but instead clears any changes made after the session. It turns out that the new implementation has weaknesses, allowing it to still […]

Retrospective: How IPv4 Addresses Were Depleted

Posted on

Geoff Huston, chief researcher engineer at the internet registrar APNIC, predicted that IPv4 addresses would run out by 2020. In this new series of materials, we will refresh information about how the addresses were depleted, who still has them, and why this happened. / Unsplash / Loïc Mermilliod Why Addresses Are Running Out Before delving into the story of how the pool was 'drying out' […]

Cryptographic Attacks: An Explanation for Confused Minds

Posted on

When people hear the word 'cryptography,' some might think of their WiFi password, the green padlock next to their favorite website's address, and how difficult it is to access someone else's email. Others might recall the series of vulnerabilities from recent years with alarming abbreviations (DROWN, FREAK, POODLE…) and stylish logos, accompanied by urgent warnings to update their browser. Cryptography encompasses all of this, but the essence lies elsewhere. It resides in the delicate balance between […]

Are multimodal DBMS the foundation of modern information systems?

Posted on

Modern information systems are quite complex. Their complexity is largely due to the intricacies of the data being processed within them. The complexity of the data often lies in the variety of data models used. For example, when data becomes 'big', one of the troublesome characteristics is not only its volume ('volume'), but also its variety ('variety'). If you don’t yet find a flaw in this reasoning, then […]

Release of the cryptographic library LibreSSL 3.0.0

The LibreSSL project focuses on effectively supporting SSL/TLS protocols by removing unnecessary features, adding additional security measures, and undergoing significant cleaning and reworking of the codebase. The release of LibreSSL 3.0.0 is considered experimental, in which […]

The code for the BlazingSQL SQL engine, which uses GPU for acceleration, has been opened.

Posted on

The source code of the BlazingSQL SQL engine, which utilizes GPUs to accelerate data processing, has been announced. BlazingSQL is not a full DBMS, but rather positioned as an engine for analyzing and processing large datasets, comparable in its tasks to Apache Spark. The code is written in Python and is open under the Apache 2.0 license. BlazingSQL is suitable for executing single analytical queries on […]
