2008-09-17 07:03:53 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
Interesting : Jon used a desktop computer attached to a GPS satellite simulator to create a fake GPS signal. Portable GPS satellite simulators can fit in the trunk of a car, and are often used for testing. They are available as commercial off-the-shelf products. You can also rent them for less than $1K a week -- peanuts to anyone thinking of...

Custom Garmin GPS Maps

2008-01-31 20:57:00 by NGO Security in NGO Security

While the company sells a world map that provides a bit more international detail than the default base map that comes with one of their GPS units, the detail is still typically lacking for humanitarian field use (you can purchase detailed street and topographic...

2008-09-19 09:14:44 by Glennf in Wi-Fi Networking News
I'm running a link to this story solely to avoid confusion among readers: Eye-Fi signed a partnership deal with Lexar several months ago that should lead to Eye-Fi technology being embedded in Lexar cards. Lexar works closely with so many camera makers and others that it was a smart move for Eye-Fi to link up, as Eye-Fi is selling its smarts as...

Flawed Security Lets Sprint Accounts Get Easily Hijacked

2008-04-09 03:08:51 by Editor in Digg / Security
 
All I knew about this guy was his number, that he was in his 20's, and he lived in DC. That's all it took to completely take over his Sprint account.
