How to Hack a Military Drone Manual is Already Online

The information needed to hack a sophisticated military drone is already available on internet and hackers could use this how-to guide for hijacking military drones, an Israeli defense manufacturer said earlier this week. This news comes in the wake of the increasing warnings of drone hacking.

Drones are the new warfare tools as they are cost and life-saving by performing multiple functions with ease. A manual named “The Requirements for Successful GPS Spoofing Attacks” was published back in 2011 just a month before the CIA drone downing by Iran. Israel Aerospace Industries cyber-programs director Esti Peshin pointed out the possibility of the use of this document in the downing.

Peshin said, “It’s (How to Hack a Military Drone Manual) a PDF file…essentially a blueprint for hackers.” “You can Google, just look up ‘Tippenhauer’ – it’s the first result in Google. Look up ‘UAV cyberattacks’ – it’s the third one. ‘UAV GPS spoofing attacks’ – the first one,” she added.

The study explains the way to feed the GPS system to fake signals so that drones end up losing the ability to calculate its coordinates. In the report, Peshin says that the goal of the study was to point out the “effective receiver-based countermeasures, which are not implemented yet in current standard GPS receivers.”

The PDF file published didn’t mean any harm but hackers could have possibly exploited the instructions given before the drone manufacturers recognize the risks and fortified the drones.

At the end of the article, they had listed many UAVs and told which were riskier than the other by the way.

Currently, the Pentagon is working to shield the UAV surveillance and navigation system from the outside interference.

I love this so much. Watts has always been one my favorite philosophers. Hearing his words superimposed with the different movie clips made watching this all the more interesting and ethereal .

Mystery Solved: Why Do Earphones Always Get Tangled Up in Pocket?

Scientists have been working very hard to solve the complexities of the universe.  While some geniuses have been busy hacking the human brain, others are busy creating artificial ones. But does anyone care to work for the common man’s cause??
hen it comes to daily life complexities and entanglements, the first and foremost that comes to mind is the twining of your earphones. No matter how neatly you put them inside your bag, they somehow emerge out as intricated mess. As if they have some kind of superpower. And if you dared to put them in your denims, then be prepared to play with the knots.

Now the question is why do the earphones and other stringy objects get tangled up when jostled up. Physicists now have stepped up to this problem and did a few trials by hustling strings of different stiffness and lengths in a box. They found that complex knots often form within seconds ( something even the kids know very well ).

Now a mathematical knot theory is used to analyze the knots. The probability P of knotting depends upon the length of the strings. Above the critical length, the probability first increases sharply and then saturates below 100%.  Also if the strings are stiff then the probability of knotting is lower but increases with long and flexible strings.

We analyzed the knots by calculating their Jones polynomials via computer analysis of digital photos of the string. Remarkably, almost all were identified as prime knots: 120 different types, having minimum crossing numbers up to 11, were observed in 3,415 trials. All prime knots with up to seven crossings were observed. The relative probability of forming a knot decreased exponentially with minimum crossing number and Möbius energy, mathematical measures of knot complexity. Based on the observation that long, stiff strings tend to form a coiled structure when confined, we propose a simple model to describe the knot formation based on random “braid moves” of the string end. Our model can qualitatively account for the observed distribution of knots and dependence on agitation time and string length.

Knot formation chronology.

Well, now we know why do our earphones entangle. But I would love to know how to stop them from doing so. Anyone ready to perform experiments for that…? 

More Than 600 Million Samsung Devices Have Vulnerability In The Keyboard

Mobile security researcher from NowSecure have founded that more than 600 million Samsung devices are vulnerable to remote code execution vulnerability in the Samsung keyboard.

According to NowSecure Samsung stock keyboard using the SwiftKey SDK which allows hackers to access sensors on the device, microphone, GPS, pictures, camera and even messages.

This vulnerable allows hackers to download and install malicious app on the device without requiring the user’s permission and can even track incoming and out messages and calls.

Samsung and the Android security was notified last year about CVE-2015-2865. Patches are available to download since 2015 but there is no proper count on how many devices are updated. Since the Samsung stock keyboard comes default on all Samsung devices and cannot be uninstalled.

According to Official support forum, “We’ve seen reports of a security issue related to the Samsung stock keyboard that uses the SwiftKey SDK. We can confirm that the SwiftKey Keyboard apps available via Google Play or the Apple App Store are not affected by this vulnerability. We take reports of this manner very seriously and are currently investigating further.” said by SwiftKey team

Windows 7 and Windows 8 Features You Will Miss After Windows 10 Upgrade

As the July 29 release of Windows 10 comes closer, new features and functions are making their appearance each day. But there are some features from your Windows 7 and Windows 8 PC that will no longer work when you’ll upgrade your PC to Windows 10.

In this article, we try to mention some of the worst sacrifices that you’ll be making with Windows 10.

Take a quick look at them:

There is a huge possibility that you won’t be able to choose the timings and parts of the updates you want to install in Windows 10. Microsoft wants to be in-charge of this department and you may not like it.

If you are going to upgrade your PC to Windows 10, you won’t be able to use Windows Media Center anymore. Currently Windows Media Center is available in Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center.

Windows 10 won’t be having Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hearts Game that are pre-installed on Windows 7.

If you use floppy drive, it won’t be supported out of the box by Windows 10. You will have to download the latest drivers using the manufacturer’s website or Windows update.

To run DVDs, you will need a third-party software in Windows 10.

If your current PC has Windows Live Essentials installed, the OneDrive version will be removes and replaced with inbox version of OneDrive.

Windows 7 desktop gadgets won’t be a part of Windows 10.

Even though some of these changes might affect you, upgrading to Windows 10 isn’t a bad choice given the fact that it is available free of cost if upgraded within one year.

To the features that won’t be continued in Windows 10, there are many free and efficient alternatives available.
