Well, fun at least. You may or may not know, but Parrot's got a simple but functional Forth implementation as part of it. Nothing fancy, just the base line scanner and math functions, but the compiler works so you can do things like 10 20 + . and get 30 as you'd expect, or : GIMME_30 10 20 + . ; if you wanted to package it up as a new word. Anyway, I need a Parrot language a bit higher-level than plain assembly for work, and if anything counts as "a bit higher level than assembly" it's Forth. Heck,...

IMterview With Bluetooth Hacking
Flexilis's John Hering 08/06/2004 03:08 PM

We pinged Flexilis's John Hering [second from the left], part of the team behind the world record-setting Bluetooth connection (and exploit) and creators of the BlueSnipe rifle. John talked about the still-lingering weaknesses in most current Bluetooth-enabled phones, plans Flexilis has in the future to help cell phone manufacturers lock down their security, and how many video game industry executives' phones you can scan at E3 in just 90 minutes.

One thing John asked me to make clear, though, and I thought I'd do it up front. None of these tests have involved hacking into any phones that weren't authorized by the participants. The record-setting Bluesnarf attack was done with one of their own phones, for instance. But just because they didn't doesn't mean they couldn't. Lucky for us they're trying to play by the rules and help the Bluetooth community batten down its hatches.

It's runs a little long, but I added magical color codes to make it easier on the eyes. Read on inside.

Not-for-profit versus for-profit economy

Not-for-profit versus for-profit economy 01/07/2004 04:28 PM

Today's Boston Globe carries two contrasting front-page stories.  "As economy gains, outsourcing surges" talks about how American workers at for-profit companies must compete with 84 million Filipinos, many of whom are well-educated, speak good English, and are delighted to work for $300/month.  Things are looking more cheerful for U.S. workers in the not-for-profit sector.  A front-page story on Boston University's search for a new president revealed that the school decided to pay Dan Goldin $1.8 million in exchange for... not working at all.  Considering that Mr. Goldin had yet to start his job, that's a pretty good hourly rate.  You could hire a staff of 45 Filipino engineers for ten years with that $1.8 mil!

[Update:  the Globe runs a three-article series on "the white collar job migration".  Article 2 is "US workers see hard times" and includes a quote from a venture capitalist: "Right when you think about Employee 11, you should think about India.  My view is you should not start a company from scratch in the United States ever again.''  Article 3 is "US business students find opportunity is global" and talks about how MBAs are adapting.  A more interesting article appears in the same issue, November 4, "As work shifts, internship in India the new rite of passage" and starts with "An increasing number of US students are going to India to intern at top information technology services firms or to participate in tours that allow them to network with the country's corporate elite."  The American interns, most of whom are MBAs or MBA students, get paid about $350/month (compared to their old internships of $7000/month in the U.S.).]

Bluetooth EDR: Triple Speed Bluetooth

Bluetooth EDR: Triple Speed Bluetooth 06/10/2004 11:38 AM

The Bluetooth SIG, the group that controls the standards that define the short-range radio networking technology has announced a proposal for a new version of Bluetooth that offers data rates almost 3 times as fast as the previous version. Called Bluetooth EDR (for Enhanced Data Rate), the new specification claims data rates of up to 2.1Mbps and remains backward-compatible with the original Bluetooth spec. No word, however, if the enhanced data rate will causes a proportionate decrease in range, not unlike 802.11g compares to 802.11b.

Hacking An Election

Hacking An Election 02/10/2004 02:41 AM
Nothing particularly new here if you've been following the whole issue on problems with electronic voting machines, but Salon has a fairly comprehensive piece describing the concerns of those who want to stop current voting machines from being used in elections. It describes some of the not-quite-so-secure techniques Diebold used to "secure" their machines - including leaving the necessary password out in the open. It also talks about how comments in the source code of the Diebold machines make it clear that the engineers knew that parts of the software don't work, and yet it was still used in elections. The responses from those who defend the electronic voting systems are a bit scary, as they basically ignore the point. Instead, they talk about how other voting methods have problems as well, and how difficult or expensive it would be to fix these voting machines. Whoever said democracy was supposed to be cheap? Update: Whoops. A new report says electronic voting machines in North Carolina lost 436 ballots last year.

Another group of hardware hackers have at a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner:

"For higher level control, we've attached a Virgin Webplayer. The Webplayer was sold as a loss leader for Virgin's internet service in the late 90s, and thus can be found on ebay for under $100. It has two serial ports, a 200MHz Geode processor, 64M ram, and a miniPCI port. Thus, we can give it an 802.11b card, a webcam, and a usb-serial adapter."
