Raspberry Pi Zero becomes a tiny lethal hacking system thanks to PoisonTap

January 5, 2017 by Lincoln

Samy Kamkar is an engineer who takes time demonstrating how small conventional devices can have much more danger than usual. Its latest creation is PoisonTap, software that converts the small Raspberry Pi Zero in a lethal device for the safety of our laptops.

This tool achieves that by connecting the RPI Zero to any USB port of a computer all web traffic unencrypted intercepts, including authentication cookies that are used to log in all types of private accounts, and that information is then sent to a Server that is under the control of the attacker.

OnePlus 3T, a renewal for the most demanding

January 2, 2017 by Lincoln

After three evolutions of OnePlus and a tour of the smallest phones with the X model, we find that the Chinese company has created a fourth iteration of its flagship product. Arrives earlier than expected and seems to makes sense, I’ll explain and present in this article.

I was not expecting such a move on OnePlus, I had come to the idea that there would be a phone by season, and that every year update would be very important in specs. For OnePlus 3Q this philosophy skips to introduce a kind of version 3.5″, with interesting details for which you are looking for a phone now, but more complicated to recommend if you already have the current model.

The artificial intelligence is like a small child, his way of discovering the world is what is the scope and tools that offer to open to the world. Google knows that with DeepMind, artificial intelligence platform, go step by step, and today are adopting a learning method based education used in children.

But while this happens, Samsung has just introduced a patent interesting that evolves all the concepts that were presented to us before, because it is a folding mechanism that operates semi – automatically, yes, as they showed a few months ago in a patent for “artificial muscle”.

Artificial intelligence is already preparing for the complex art of lip-reading

December 22, 2016 by Lincoln

Lipread is not a simple task, who say pursue it professionally guarantee results ranging from 20% to 60%, a very large variation as there are many factors involved in the reading is appropriate and serve To determine with certainty what was said.

This could end up in a not too distant future when systems based on artificial intelligence can perform this task automatically, where the deep learning plays a key role in being able to manage a lot of data and ‘learn’ with the passage of weather. Now a project developed by the University of Oxford brings us to that reality.
