Call it a low-orbit satellite or a high-flying blimp, but wireless broadband takes on a new form: There are several companies trying to put planes or blimps into high flight patterns to provide line-of-sight to enormous areas. Sanswire Networks launches their airship satellite next month. It hovers at 13 miles and can blanket an area the size of Texas with high-speed service....

Marines Swap Radio Towers for Blimps

Marines Swap Radio Towers for Blimps 04/14/2005 10:02 AM

Blimps are great, especially if you don't fill them full of screaming, burning people. The Marines in Iraq are testing out this new MARTS (Marine Airborne Re-Transmission Systems) blimps as replacements for radio towers, running singals up through fiber-obtic which are then repeated over UHF/VHF. They are a few million dollars a pop, but they can run for two weeks without refueling and are harder to disable than a ground-based radio tower—each MARTS can resist small arms fire and operated wtih a 4-inch hole in its skin.

Art Attack

Art Attack 06/09/2004 10:33 PM

On June 15, a federal grand jury will convene in upstate New York to consider possible bioterrorism charges against University at Buffalo art professor Steve Kurtz and the Critical Art Ensemble, an internationally-known hactivist collective. From the CAE Defense Fund Web site:

"Early morning of May 11, Steve Kurtz awoke to find his wife, Hope, dead of a cardiac arrest. Kurtz called 911. The police arrived and, after stumbling across test tubes and petri dishes Kurtz was using in a current artwork, called in the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Soon agents from the Task Force and FBI detained Kurtz, cordoned off the entire block around his house, and later impounded Kurtz's computers, manuscripts, books, equipment, and even his wife's body for further analysis. The Buffalo Health Department condemned the house as a health risk.

Only after the Commissioner of Public Health for New York State had tested samples from the home and announced there was no public safety threat was Kurtz able to return home and recover his wife's body. Yet the FBI would not release the impounded materials, which included artwork for an upcoming exhibition at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art."

This Washington Post article provides more background on the bizarre turn-of-events. Protests at the Court House in Buffalo and in other major cities are planned. Link

DoS Attack Nothing New

DoS Attack Nothing New 05/18/2004 01:14 PM
Some WLAN security experts say that the reaction to a type of denial of service (DoS) attack recently described by Queensland University researchers is severe: "This is new only in a small incremental sense," said Rich Mironov, vice president of marketing for AirMagnet. "This is one new flavor or variation of the DoS attack." The report from Australia has been widely described as a dramatic new security fault inherent in the 802.11b standard. Some reports have included recommendations to stop using 802.11b networks altogether. The attack appears to have no real effect on 802.11a or 802.11g-only networks which employ a different signal encoding method than 802.11b. But some say the attack isn't new at all. Richard Rushing, chief security officer for AirDefense, says this new report looks exactly like findings presented by University of San Diego researchers at a UseNix conference last August. The buzz around the recent report from Queensland just happens to be better publicized, he said. Neither Mironov nor Rushing expect the form of attacks to be particularly threatening. The attack can be performed with an off-the-shelf PC card but the card's firmware must be modified using a driver that may or may not become public. "It's probably going to come out, but it's not necessarily going to propagate," said Rushing. Even if it does get widely circulated, the attacks themselves will be limited to the APs in range of the altered PC card. "It's not like the whole network crashes. It's the one or two or three APs nearby that are crashing," Mironov said. AirMagnet's current product looks for 16 other distinct DoS attacks and will soon identify this type of attack. When its network sensors pick up on the attack, an alarm is sent to a network administrator. An IT manager can then use a handheld device to locate the source of the attack to shut it down. AirMagnet expects to be able to distribute an update that will identify this specific attack in about a week, Mironov said. Key to identifying such attacks are sensors that are separate from the APs, Rushing said. "If I'm using the AP to get my monitoring information I won't see anything. I'll just see that nothing is connecting to the AP," he said. But a separate sensor would see the signals sent from the hacker's device. Mironov says this new attack is not a reason to shy from...

Attack of the caterpillars

Attack of the caterpillars 06/23/2004 07:12 PM
Currently one of the most popular news items at Yahoo! News is Caterpillar Population Explodes in Mass. As a current resident of Mass., I can testify to the disgusting omnipresence of caterpillars. All around my house there are zillions of tent caterpillars. When I first arrived on island in mid-May, they were just exiting their tents. Now they are in all the plants, climbing up the sides of the house, and marching across the deck. They are big, furry, gross, and filled with juicy guts that explode when you step on them. My mom tried to squish one last weekend and it blew up all over her foot. Ick.

When pet piranha attack 08/04/2004 10:04 AM
Some idiot abandoned two pet piranha in a Hong Kong fountain and one took a bite out of a boy's finger while he was playing in the water.

The piranha -- which has its origins in warm South American rivers and can devour whole cows when hunting in packs -- is a popular fish in Hong Kong home aquariums and can be bought in Mongkok pet shops for less than HK$100 a pair (7 pounds).

Maybe piranha could help deal with the problem of the renegade alligators in New York City's sewers. Link

When puppies attack!

When puppies attack! 12/19/2004 02:59 PM

« Jarkko holds our eagerly awaited new baby. :) An entire gallery filled with adorable Saint Bernard puppies. »

We took a trip to southern Sweden this weekend to visit the litter of puppies we liked and to pick one along with the usual things you look at when selecting a breeder. The breeders, Lasse and Sussi, asked us to stay at their house and were really terrific people. As soon as we saw those 9 adorable little furry faces looking up at us any doubt we might have had disappeared. Of course, 9 puppies who are 7 weeks old and who are just getting their teeth in along with the teething that goes with them are dangerous creatures to everything within range of their mouths. :) We spent a few hours getting to know the furry piraņa and decided on the puppy we liked originally from the pictures. We haven't picked a name for him yet, we'll just have to see what comes to us as a fitting name.

We have to wait until the first week of January to bring him home because of the EU regulations, in spite of Sweden being a rabies-free country, requiring that the puppy have a rabies vaccination before entering Finland. So, we must wait 5 long weeks until we can bring him home so he can fill the house with hair, drool, chew toys and all those familiar St. Bernard sounds that we miss so much. :) Happiness is a warm, fuzzy puppy.

Patrick "Ask a Pilot" Smith opines on "Terror in the Skies, Again?" Smith: I, for one, fully admit that certain acts of airborne crime and treachery may indeed open the channels to a debate on civil liberties. Pray tell, what happened? Gunfight at 37,000 feet? Valiant passengers wrestle a grenade from a suicidal operative? Hero pilots beat back a cockpit takeover? Well, no. As a matter of fact, nothing happened. Turns out the Syrians are part of a musical ensemble hired to play at a hotel. The men talk to one another. They glance around. They pee. That's it? That's it.
