VIDEO - India successfully achieves autonomous landing of space vehicle (RLV LEX)

noreply@blogger.com (The Secure Planet) — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 02:31:00 +0000

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved a remarkable feat by carrying out the Reusable Launch Vehicle Autonomous Landing Mission (RLV LEX) successfully. This momentous test took place at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) situated in Chitradurga, Karnataka, which also serves as the headquarters for the nation's esteemed space agency.

For the first time ever, a helicopter has transported a winged body to a staggering altitude of 4.5 km, only to release it and witness its remarkable ability to autonomously land on a runway. This groundbreaking achievement has been accomplished with the use of a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), which can be described as a space plane boasting a low lift to drag ratio. This unique characteristic necessitates a specific approach during landing, as the RLV must navigate its descent with precision and finesse.

The RLV, or reusable launch vehicle, embarked on its journey at 7:10 am IST with the assistance of an Indian Air Force (IAF) Chinook Helicopter, which carried it as an underslung load. Gradually ascending to an impressive altitude of 4.5 km above Mean Sea Level, the RLV reached its desired pillbox parameters. These parameters were established for the RLV's Mission Man, ensuring its successful progression towards its intended objectives.

The successful autonomous landing was executed with utmost precision, replicating the exact conditions of a Space Re-entry vehicle's landing. This intricate feat involved the landing being performed at high speeds, without any human intervention, and following the precise return path as if the vehicle had just arrived from outer space.

The RLV LEX required the integration of numerous cutting-edge technologies to ensure its successful operation. These included advanced navigation hardware and software, a state-of-the-art pseudolite system, a highly precise Ka-band radar altimeter, a reliable NavIC receiver, a specially designed indigenous landing gear, innovative aerofoil honey-comb fins, and an efficient brake parachute system.

Medical - Google Lens can now review skin conditions

noreply@blogger.com (The Secure Planet) — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 02:10:00 +0000

Google Lens is a revolutionary technology that utilizes visual recognition to enable users to search for information about the things they see using their smartphones. It functions by analyzing and comparing an uploaded or taken image with countless other images available on the internet, much like how traditional Google search works. The results are then ranked based on the similarities between the user's image and the identified objects in the database. This incredible feature not only helps users identify unknown objects or plants during a leisurely stroll, but it also goes above and beyond by offering recommendations and additional details about the specific item being searched. With Google Lens, users can effortlessly gain valuable context and supplementary information about the world around them.

Google recently unveiled an awe-inspiring addition to its Google Lens tool, which allows users to search for information on various skin conditions. This groundbreaking feature empowers individuals to simply snap a photo of their skin ailment, such as a bothersome rash or unusual discoloration, and instantly receive a tailored compilation of the most pertinent and informative results. By effortlessly matching the image with relevant data, Google Lens effectively offers valuable insights into the nature and potential causes of the condition in question.

Describing an odd mole or rash on your skin can be hard to do with words alone. Fortunately, there’s a new way Lens can help, with the ability to search skin conditions that are visually similar to what you see on your skin. Just take a picture or upload a photo through Lens, and you’ll find visual matches to inform your search. This feature also works if you're not sure how to describe something else on your body, like a bump on your lip, a line on your nails or hair loss on your head. This feature is currently available in the U.S.

Raspberry Pi - Review Network communications to find suspicious connections

noreply@blogger.com (The Secure Planet) — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:01:00 +0000

This tool provides a simple method for capturing network communications on a smartphone or other Wi-Fi enabled device, allowing for rapid analysis. It can be utilized to detect any dubious or harmful communication originating from a smartphone by utilizing heuristics or IoCs.

The team came up with the idea to create a small kiosk device that could be operated by non-technical individuals to test their phones for any malicious communications that may have been initiated by stalkerware or other spyware. The kiosk would be based on Raspberry Pi technology and would serve as a simple and efficient solution to this problem.

It is not limited to detecting ordinary threats, as it can also identify any harmful communications originating from cybercriminals or even state-sponsored cyberattacks. Additionally, TinyCheck empowers users to expand their detection capabilities by adding their own Indicators of Compromise through a backend system, which enables them to detect hidden threats that may be present in their network communications.

TinyCheck can be used in several ways by individuals and entities:

Over a network - TinyCheck is installed on a network and can be accessed from a workstation via a browser.
In kiosk mode - TinyCheck can be used as a kiosk to allow visitors to test their own devices.
Fully standalone - By using a powerbank, two Wi-Fi interfaces or a 4G dongle and a small touch screen like in this video, you can tap any device anywhere.

FDA Announces New Cybersecurity Requirements for Medical Devices

noreply@blogger.com (The Secure Planet) — Fri, 26 May 2023 07:32:00 +0000

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that medical device manufacturers will now be required to fulfill certain cybersecurity standards when presenting an application for a new product. This decision has been taken in order to ensure the safety and security of the medical devices that are being introduced into the market. The FDA has identified the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures due to the growing number of cyber threats and attacks that have been witnessed in recent years. The new regulations will require manufacturers to incorporate robust security features and practices into their devices to prevent any potential cyber breaches. The FDA is hopeful that this move will not only protect patients but also create a more secure and trustworthy healthcare system.

The agency issued guidance on March 30, which outlines new requirements that are a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. This act was signed into law in late 2022 and includes a section called "Ensuring Cybersecurity of Medical Devices", which made changes to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The purpose of these requirements is to enhance the cybersecurity of medical devices.

The FDA has mandated that new medical device submissions must provide comprehensive information regarding cybersecurity, including the provision of a plan that outlines the identification and resolution of potential security threats and exploits within a reasonable timeframe.

It is important for companies to disclose the methods and protocols they use to issue updates and patches after a product has been released in the market. This includes the provision of routine updates and the issuance of out-of-band patches specifically designed to address critical vulnerabilities and security concerns.

As part of the information required by the FDA, a comprehensive software bill of materials (SBOM) for all commercial, open source, and pre-manufactured components must be provided.

The criteria are relevant to devices that are capable of connecting to the internet, run software, and have the potential to be susceptible to digital security hazards, commonly known as cyber devices.
