As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, the need for advanced cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. Researchers at Penn State’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are tackling this challenge head-on by developing a cutting-edge “honeypot” system designed to deceive and trap hackers attempting to infiltrate military networks. Funded by a $557,000 grant from the U.S. Army’s DEVCOM, the project aims to create a suite of fake networks, devices, and video feeds to lure attackers, The post Building A Network Of Fake Cameras To Deceive Military Adversaries ..read more

What is Powder Coating? Powder coating is a surface finishing technique that applies a dry polymer or ceramic powder to a part via an electrostatic charge. Unlike traditional liquid paints, powder coating does not require solvents to keep a liquid suspension of binder and filler parts and is instead cured either through heat or ultraviolet light. The result is a thick, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish that is superior to conventional liquid coatings.  The post Powder Coating: Definition, Importance, and the Different Types appeared first on Ponoko ..read more

According to some engineers, the future of semiconductor manufacturing may lie in space. In late 2024, U.S.-based Axiom Space proposed a groundbreaking collaboration with Taiwan to leverage low-Earth orbit (LEO) conditions for producing purer, higher-yield semiconductor materials. With Taiwan’s leadership in technology and Axiom’s expertise in microgravity environments, the partnership could revolutionize manufacturing. Beyond semiconductors, opportunities also exist in biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Can microgravity transform semiconductor production? What industries could benefit ..read more

The Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller introduced advanced security features like antifuse-based OTP memory, ARM TrustZone integration, and a custom Redundancy Coprocessor (RCP), but it still proved vulnerable to exploitation. At DEF CON, Raspberry Pi’s hacking challenge revealed at least one critical flaw, demonstrating the complexity and risks in modern hardware security. In this talk, Aedan Cullen unpacks the process of identifying and exploiting this vulnerability, shedding light on the challenges of balancing innovative design with thorough testing.
