'Be still': 12 images to evoke silence, peace and calm reflection – in pictures

Two years ago the photographer Palani Mohan received life-saving heart surgery. After his recovery he started to see the world and his work differently. He was drawn to images, old and new, that evoked silence and peace, and inspired reflection. ‘As we spend these days and weeks at home, I’m grateful for this time I have with my thoughts, and to witness the power of the small good things that surround us,’ he says. ‘My hope, especially in these difficult times, is that when you look at these images you can find a place for yourself within them, and be still.’

Looking for ADVFC32 SPICE Model

I'm working on a circuit that requires the input voltage to be converted to a frequency, transmitted over an optical cable, and then converted back to a voltage. I am attempting to simulate this circuit using Eagle ngSpice simulations. The voltage to frequency converters that I am using are ADVFC32 and made by Analog Devices. However, I can't seem to find a SPICE model for this component. Analog Devices does not provide it on their website. Can anyone find a SPICE Model for this part? I'm new to working with electronics so any help/advice you can provide would be appreciated.

Dismantling Megamos Crypto: Wirelessly Lockpicking A Vehicle Immobilizer

The Megamos Crypto transponder is used in one of the most widely deployed electronic vehicle immobilizers. It is used among others in most Audi, Fiat, Honda, Volkswagen and Volvo cars. Such an immobilizer is an anti-theft device which prevents the engine of the vehicle from starting when the corresponding transponder is not present. This transponder is a passive RFID tag which is embedded in the key of the vehicle. In this paper, the authors have reverse-engineered all proprietary security mechanisms of the transponder, including the cipher and the authentication protocol which we publish here in full detail. This article reveals several weaknesses in the design of the cipher, the authentication protocol and also in their implementation.

How to Recognize a Suspicious Email


As champions of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), we're kicking off our first week with a focus on email. Read on for facts and tips on email security from the National Cyber Security Alliance.

Across the world, 269 billion emails are sent every day. It's estimated that the average business user will receive 96 emails per day by 2019 (source: Radicati).

Given our reliance on the medium, it's no surprise that email is one of cybercriminals' favorite methods of attack. According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, 85 percent of U.S. organizations have experienced a phishing attack and 30 percent of people have opened a phishing email.

There are simple steps you can take to ensure that you don't become a victim of a cyberattack. Somewhat like a poker tell, suspicious emails contain hints that the sender isn't who they claim to be.

Watch this video to learn how to spot email scams.

The Facts About Email Scams

  • Suspicious emails engage in "spoofing," a type of scam in which attackers impersonate a trustworthy entity to make it more likely that the recipient will open and act on the email.
  • Spoofed emails typically employ one of two tactics:
    • Phishing, the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and, indirectly, money) for malicious reasons.
    • Spreading malware by getting the user to open malicious email attachments or click on malicious links.

Practical Tips on Spotting Suspicious Emails

  • Look carefully at the email and ask yourself the following questions:
    • Do you know or recognize the "from" address or contact's name?
    • Does the message contain incorrect grammar or misspelled words?
    • Does the message ask you to take action on something you didn't request, such as "click on this link to pick the new phone you requested"?
  • If the answer to the first is no, or the answer to the second or third above is yes:
    • Don't click on links. Instead, hover your cursor over links to determine if the address is unknown, suspicious, or misleading: for example, www.microsoft.com.maliciousdomain.it. Don't open any attachments the email contains.
    • If you suspect a work email is a phishing attack, immediately report it to your IT administrator so they can alert your fellow coworkers of the attempted attack. If it's a personal email, most email service providers provide a mechanism to report that. Check out this example from Gmail.

Additional Cybersecurity Resources

  • Want to learn more about cybersecurity and how you can keep your data safe? Read our latest blog post about the Equifax breach.
  • Need a little inspiration? Find out how TechSoup and Symantec are making a difference in the lives of at-risk teens.
  • Get more security tips from the National Cyber Security Alliance. National Cyber Security Alliance Month — observed every October — was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure all Americans have the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online. Find out how you can get involved.

Pickup trucks outsell cars for the first time, and it may not be temporary
