Canadian Military Is Recruiting Car Hackers, Anyone Up For It?

After the Fiat Chrysler hack fiasco, the car manufacturers are going through a nightmare as more and more vulnerabilities are being exposed in the system in an attempt to create connected cars.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Canadian military has <a href="https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tender-notice/PW-QCL-018-16558" target="_blank">issued a tender</a> for the cyber security of automotive systems in a bid to make its systems more secure. So, to expose the zero-day vulnerabilities in the new sophisticated car models before the attackers, the DRDC (Defence Research and Development Canada) is recruiting white-hat car hackers.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And they are paying handsomely too, $205,000 for the job and separately on an “as and when requested basis”, the prospect hacker or his team could get $620,000.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Researchers predict about 150 million passenger vehicles will be connected to the IoT, i.e. about 70% of all vehicles by 2020 and if the security is not pepped up, it could pose a grave concern for the life of consumers. Intel has decided to establish an Automotive Security Review Board, a panel of top security experts in cyber-physical systems who will look out for any vulnerability in the connected vehicles.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hacking a car is not and easy job but is not that difficult either. In a live demonstration, the security researchers explained the car hack process, and many such incidents have alarmed the security team in the automobile industry. So, the decision by the DRDC seems right on money. Not only will they come to know about the exploits and various methods of hacking, they will also save many lives who might be in danger.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And it’s not just that the high profile elite cars are being targeted, even the self-driving car has been hacked using a Raspberry Pi. So, unlike any other computer hack, a car hack poses a life threat to the people.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The closing date of the tender is 2015/10/27.

After Range Rover And Apple, The Chinese Copy “Tesla” Electric Cars

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><img alt="Thunder-Power from Taiwan" height="370" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Thunder-Power-from-Taiwan.jpg" width="640" /></i></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Chinese entrepreneurs are promising low-cost electric cars to their consumers. And not just any car, people can have a Tesla Model replica for almost half the price.</i></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It seems whatever China doesn’t want to import – it just copies. Last year, Chinese market was abuzz with an impeccable rip-off of Range Rover, then were the fake Apple Stores and now it is Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla, which is facing the identity crisis in China.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Beijing, in order to curb its carbon emission intensity as it has promised on the global forum, has directed its automobile industry to bring an electric car revolution in China. By 2020, around 5 million electric-powered automobiles will be seen throughout the country, as per the plan.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, Tesla being the leading manufacturer in EVs is subjected to high taxes in China (not surprised to hear that) and the local entrepreneurs have taken quite an advantage of that. Le* Car is a Chinese electric supercar built by the Leshi Internet Information & Technology.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The company is founded and run by billionaire Jia Yueting. The company has a team of 600 which is reportedly a mix of engineers from GM, BMW, and Tesla. The Chinese concept supercar will go in production in 2018.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Tesla Model P 85 recently got an insane 103 out of 100 in consumer report rating. So, we are quite clear on why Tesla is being targeted.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The reasons of these design violations are not tough to understand either. Well, for the starters, Range Rover, Apple, Tesla and a few more are the top brands in the world, so providing the customers with similar models at much lower cost is a plausible business. Also, the government has subjected these foreign brands to high taxes, so the already expensive Tesla Model S is undoubtedly out from the normal consumers’ reach.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And the interesting part is, even the copied models have competition in the internal market from other copies. Anyone would confuse the Chinese Youxia Ranger X for Tesla’s Model S. Funded by Huang Xiuyuan, another Chinese entrepreneur, the car was built in just 16 months from the scratch. The design is strikingly similar to Model S and some parts taken from Lexus, Audi, and Maserati.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Youxian Ranger X" height="329" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Youxian-X.jpg" width="640" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Youxian Ranger X</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Similarly, Thunder Power e-car from Taiwan provides everything that Tesla does, from Performance to style.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, this counterfeit of Tesla is even more dangerous for Musk than Apple entering into the EV business. The CEO of Tesla has not yet commented on this blasphemy towards this pet project. He had earlier lashed out at Apple for poaching its ex- employees. It would be interesting to watch his reaction over the current development.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Have something to add?

How an Engineer Built His Own Thor’s Hammer That Only He Can Lift

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><i><img height="340" loading="lazy" src="http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m72756aRIH1rsy50k.gif" width="640" /></i></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>An electrical engineer has utilised his great DIY skills to device his very own version of Thor’s hammer. Read ahead to know how he made it and watch the video.</i></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Do you remember that scene from the latest Avengers: Age of Ultron where all superheroes are trying to lift Thor’s hammer? You must be aware of the fact that the Thor’s hammer, also known as Mjolnir, can only be lifted by the ones worthy of its power. As a result, everybody gives a try and fails.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Later, Tony Stark offers a witty explanation that the handle of the hammer is imprinted with Thor’s fingerprints. Along the similar lines, did you ever imagine the possibility of Thor’s hammer in real life?</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Well, an electrical engineer Allen Pan has decided to replicate Thor’s hammer to make his very own Mjolnir. He runs a popular YouTube channel Sufficiently Advanced on YouTube.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">To make his hammer immovable, he made use of strong magnets. Inside the head of his Thor’s hammer, he housed a microwave oven transformer electromagent. This uses electricity to create a very strong magnetic field, so strong that when placed on a metal surface, the hammer is too heavy to lift.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="thor-hammer-2" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/thor-hammer-2.jpg" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">On the handle, there is a capacitive touch sensor that is connected to an Arduino Pro Mini and a solid state relay. These components act as a switching device and as soon as someone touches the handle, the electromagnets are turned on. As a result, the strong magnetic field is generated that sticks the hammer to the metallic surface.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">To make it more badass, Allen made an arrangement to turn off the electromagnet via a fingerprint sensor. When he touches the sensor with his thumb, the field switches off and he’s able to life the hammer just like Thor.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In an amusing video below, Allen took his innovative DIY to the Venice Beach, California and challenged the people to lift the hammer. What happens next, watch in this video below:</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0_8Xhzt5YQI" width="560"></iframe> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Did you like the Thor’s hammer DIY?

Don’t Try To Hack Into Your Own Device, Govt Will Destroy It- Thanks to TPP

So, no more playing around with the gadgets, because if you are caught, your device would be seized and destroyed as per the recently signed Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wikileaks has <a href="https://wikileaks.org/tpp-ip3/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Chapter/WikiLeaks-TPP-IP-Chapter-051015.pdf" target="_blank">released the official documents</a> regarding the copyrights chapter which forbids anyone to circumvent the copyright and product infringement laws and thereby make changes in the original devices or proprietary technology (software/hardware) for any purpose.

The agreement has already come under fire for favoring the corporates and stifling the rights of consumers. Similar penal laws have been adjudicated against the free-flowing information on Internet, again with an intent to smother small businesses and create a corporate monopoly.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Worst affected by these new developments will be the white-hat hackers as bypassing the manufacturer’s exclusive system and finding the zero-day vulnerabilities is their job. Even individuals who want to improvise their devices are prohibited. As in the case of the Internet copyright violations, the punishment is from a monetary fine to a term in jail.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wikileaks has also the leaked the device-destroying proposal in the TPP back in 2014 as well.

Temperature over millions of degrees and atoms smashing into each other at high speeds inside a plasma chamber, thus,  producing a chain reaction to yield a sustainable source of energy for humans. So what happens inside the chambers at about 15 million centigrade?</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sure, there are hydrogen atoms (Deuterium and Tritium) inside an isolated chamber that is heated to extreme temperatures so as to force the atoms to attain kinetic energy high enough so as when they collide with each other they could overcome the electrical repulsion of mutual nuclei and fuse to form an inert Helium gas.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a result, a huge amount of energy is released in the process which is used to make electricity.
