Car hacking – myth, fantasy or reality?
Car hacking – myth, fantasy or reality? I was recently asked by an investigative reporter if there were any cars that were safe from hacking and apart from suggesting an old Volvo 142 I wasn’t able to give him a simple answer because I haven’t really researched this area properly. We’ve all seen reports in media how some cars are/were vulnerable to mostly physical attacks, but in a few rare cases there were a...
Vault 7, Year Zero – what’s been leaked so far + NSA hack. Part 2
Vault 7, Year Zero part 2. We’ve so far had a total of five releases from Wikileaks under the name of “Vault 7” and although it’s all pretty much just documentation one can still work out the innards and its impact. Most of it are old hacks and technologies but some were still current – as we saw when the likes of Microsoft and Apple quickly released large patches in order to fix some of the most...
Vault 7, Year Zero – stolen CIA hacker tools and current affairs. Part 1.
Vault 7, Year Zero Unless you live under a rock, none could’ve missed the headlines in the news stating the fact that a bunch of documents and hacking tools, stolen from CIA, had been handed over to Wikileaks who now released the first part in a partly censored form. It was censored to hide the identities of the CIA staff but also censored in order to not spread the actual tools of the trade that allowed the likes of CIA, GCHQ...

Android – hidden and internal API’s Sadly it is perhaps a bit dated – especially since Eclipse is no more and Android Studio is the new toolbox, so I decided to see if I could do the same with Android Studio and Android 5.1 aka...
Sony Smartwatch som verktyg för autistiska?
Under tiden jag väntar på att mina kretskort till Timstock Slim™ skall anlända från USA (och jag tror faktiskt tullverket håller som bäst på med att applicera den sedvanliga 2 veckors extra väntetid innan de öppnar paketet och inser att det varken är av större ekonomiskt värde eller överhuvudtaget skall förtullas… inte första gången om jag säger så :/ ) så har jag haft tid att testa en annan idé jag haft – nämligen att...
Tools for the autistic – castAR?
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot of how modern tools and gadgets could be of help to autistic kids (and adults too) if we step outside the box of traditional methods. Early in the game I dabbled with Augmented Reality on Android phones in order to display “enhanced” information, but the phone was too much of an distraction – this for kids who need as few inputs as possible. The first prototype recognized a...
