kind of threat possible at each data entry point. The STRIDE model, described below, can help you evaluate the threats.
For more information, please see Guerrilla Threat Modelling.
Threats to consider: STRIDE
STRIDE is a method of classifying the effect of a threat being realized. It is an acronym that stands for
 - Spoofing allows an adversary to pose as another user, component, or other system that has an identity in the system being modeled.
 - Tampering is the modification of data within the system to achieve a malicious goal.
 - Repudiation is the ability of an adversary to deny performing some malicious activity because the system does not have sufficient evidence to prove otherwise.
 - Information Disclosurerefers to the exposure of protected data to a user that is not otherwise allowed access to that data.
 - Denial of Service occurs when an adversary can prevent legitimate users from using the normal functionality of the system.
 - Elevation of Privilege is when an adversary uses illegitimate means to assume a trust level higher than currently authorized.
You can use STRIDE to guide your investigation when considering what threats your control might be vulnerable to.
Other Resources on Threat Modeling
Many great resources exist on the Web detailing threat modeling and different ways to secure your controls. Here are a few.
Secure Development Practices
Once you have designed and threat-modeled your control it is time to start implementing.
Prevent Denial of Service Attacks
Be sure the control doesn't loop infinitely or stop responding when given bad data or arguments. An attacker might tie up a user's computer using your ActiveX control.
Safely Handle Memory
It is important for a secure ActiveX control to check all inputs and guard against buffer overruns. For example, if a control receives an input string into a fixed-length buffer without checking its length first, it is possible for a malicious caller to provide a string that is longer than the allocated buffer, overwriting other information in an unintended way. In some cases these bugs can be exploited to make the control perform unsafe operations it was not designed to do. As the author of an ActiveX control, you need to be vigilant. Never assume that a certain input conforms to certain requirements. Always check the data to avoid these attacks. All inputs should have maximum sizes, and controls should be tested to perform safely, even with inputs that are beyond specifications. See Fix Those Buffer Overruns for more information.
Limit Drag-and-Drop Capabilities
Drag-and-drop capabilities can be used to create many engaging and interactive experiences for users, however, ActiveX controls need to enable and react to these capabilities in a responsible manner. If your control acts as a drop target then you should not perform any unsafe action without prompting the user. If your control is a drag source, then you should be sure to set the CFSTR_UNTRUSTEDDRAGDROP Clipboard format. This will insure that any program reading the dropped data will know that it should not be fully trusted. You should also be aware that drag-and-drop capabilities in IE are now limited by a security setting which may restrict the drag-and-drop capabilities of your control (URLACTION_SHELL_ENHANCED_DRAGDROP_SECURITY).
For more information on tagging clipboard data, please see Shell Clipboard Formats .
For more information on the IE security setting regarding drag-and-drop, please see URL Action Flags.
Safe for Scripting and Safe for Initialization
There are a few different mechanisms that IE uses to determine that controls are safe to initialize and script. The IObjectSafety interface and Component categories manager are two tools that IE uses.
One of the first things to note about marking a control safe for scripting or initialization is that this should only be done for controls which you actually intend to be initialized or scripted. If your control does not need scripting functionality then do not mark it as such.
IObjectSafety is an interface that IE can use after a control is loaded to query the control and determine if the control believes that it is safe to be initialized and scripted. The component categories manager is a method for controls to register themselves as safe for use in IE. These are registry settings which IE can check prior to loading a control.
The IObjectSafety interface supports two methods, IObjectSafety::GetInterfaceSafetyOptions and IObjectSafety::SetInterfaceSafetyOptions. The GetInterfaceSafetyOptions method should return the control's security capabilities, safe for initialization and/or safe for scripting. The SetInterfaceSafetyOptions method is a request from the container, IE, to the control and indicates that the control should configure itself to be safe for initialization or scripting.
The component category manager is a way that IE uses the registry to determine when controls are safe for initialization and scripting. You should be sure to register your control with the component category manager when it is installing. Details on how to set these registry keys can be found at How to mark MFC ActiveX controls as Safe for Scripting and Initialization.
For more information on marking ActiveX controls safe for initialization and scripting via IObjectSafety and Component Categories, please see Safe Initialization and Scripting for ActiveX Controls.
Controls that Operate in the Local Machine Zone
ActiveX controls operating within the Local Machine Zone should not allow arbitrary content from the Internet to be written to files in predictable locations without user interaction. Furthermore, controls operating in the Local Machine Zone should not allow execution of arbitrary code directly or indirectly.
Design your control to be compatible with the Data Execution Prevention Feature
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running on a system. DEP is available on Microsoft Windows 2003 Server SP1, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, and on Windows Vista.
DEP works by preventing code execution from data memory that is not marked EXECUTABLE, such as the stack and heaps. Hardware-enforced DEP detects code that is running from these locations and raises an exception when execution occurs. Software-enforced DEP is a subset of hardware-enforced DEP, for machines that do not have supporting processors, and can help prevent malicious code from taking advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows.
Controls which are DEP compatible cannot execute code from any page which is marked non-executable. Note, ATL 7.1 and earlier is not DEP compatible so if you use ATL, you will need to compile your control with ATL 8.0 or later.
Internet Explorer provides a setting you can enable to test your control with the DEP feature. Go to the Tools menu, choose Internet Options, then Advanced tab, and then select Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks. (Note: If you are running on Windows Vista, Internet Explorer must be running with administrator privileges in order to change this setting. You can run Internet Explorer with administrator privileges by right-clicking the Internet Explorer icon and selecting Run as Administrator. Once you have enabled DEP you can run Internet Explorer with regular privileges and DEP will remain enabled.) You should use this Internet Explorer setting to test your control and make sure it is compatible with DEP. Once your code is compatible with DEP, you should link your code with /NXCOMPAT.
The Enable Memory Protection setting in the IE7 Internet Options dialog box.
For more information, please see Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Part 3: Memory Protection Techniques and A Detailed Description of the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) Feature.
Use Automated Tools to Evaluate Your Code
Code reviews and quality assurance testing are highly valuable processes which are able to find and correct many bugs and threats; however, more recently, new automated tools have become available which can review your code and flag potential problem areas. One tool which Microsoft releases is called PreFast. It is available as part of Visual Studio Team System 2005 and also in the Windows DDK. PreFast will step through all the execution paths in your source code and look for errors in the following areas.
 - Memory: Potential memory leaks, de-referenced NULL pointers, access to uninitialized memory, excessive use of the kernel-mode stack, and improper use of pool tags.
 - Resources: Failure to release resources such as locks, resources that should be held when calling some functions, and resources that should not be held when calling other functions.
 - Function usage: Potentially incorrect usage of certain functions, function arguments that appear incorrect, possible argument type mismatches for functions that do not strictly check types, possible use of certain obsolete functions, and function calls at a potentially incorrect IRQL.
 - Floating point state: Failure to protect floating point hardware state in a driver and attempting to restore floating point state after saving it at a different IRQL.
 - Precedence rules: Code that might not behave as the programmer intended because of the precedence rules of C.
 - Kernel-mode coding practices: Coding practices that can cause errors, such as modifying an opaque memory descriptor list (MDL) structure, failing to examine the value of a variable set by a called function, and using C/C++ string manipulation functions rather than the safe string functions defined in Ntstrsafe.h.
 - Driver-specific coding practices: Specific operations that are often a source of errors in kernel-mode drivers, such as copying a whole I/O request packet (IRP) without modifying members and saving a pointer to a string or structure argument instead of copying an argument in a DriverEntry routine.
This kind of automated code checking can greatly increase the security of your

Unlike a paint transform, this transform usually does not contain any "perspective" components, meaning that the third row and the third column of the matrix should be equal to "0, 0, 1, 0". This ensures that localPosition describes the point in the local coordinate system of the event receiver at which the user is actually touching the screen.

3 This record is not the beginning of an action , because hash3 Corresponding requestId by reqId2, and reqId2 It begins with hash2, therefore , We are actually going to put hash2 It is also added to the whole backup record of the duplicate disk where the exception occurs . In summary , We need to find the same traceId All corresponding requestId Corresponding log records , Although it's a little winding , But a little understanding can understand the truth .
Let's put together all the logs related to an exception , Is called a block, Use the log again hash aggregate , Get this block Of hash, And build the index in the index area , Waiting to report .
3.3 Reporting log
The report log is also in webworker In the middle of , In order to distinguish from sorting out , It can be divided into two worker. The process of reporting is roughly ： In every cycle , Take the index of the corresponding number of entries from the index area , Through... In the index hash, Go to the archive area and take out the complete log record , Upload to the server .
According to the frequency of reporting （ Critical urgency ） There are four types of reporting ：
a. Report immediately
After collecting the logs , Trigger escalation function immediately . Only used for A Class exception . And because of the uncertainty of the network ,A Class log reporting needs a confirmation mechanism , Only after confirming that the server has successfully received the reported information , In order to be complete . Otherwise there needs to be a looping mechanism , Make sure the escalation is successful .
b. Batch reporting
Store the collected logs locally , When a certain amount is collected, it can be packaged and reported at one time , Or at a certain frequency （ The time interval ） Package and upload . This is equivalent to combining multiple reports into one report , To reduce the pressure on the server .
c. Block reporting
Package an abnormal scenario into a block and report it . It's different from batch reporting , Batch reporting ensures the integrity of the log , overall , But there will be useless information . Block reporting is aimed at the exception itself , Make sure that all logs related to a single exception are reported .
d. Users actively submit
Provide a button on the interface , User active feedback bug. This is conducive to enhancing interaction with users .
Or when an exception occurs , Although there is no impact on users , But the app monitors , Pop up a prompt box , Let users choose whether they are willing to upload logs . This scheme is suitable for the privacy data of users .
|Report immediately||Batch reporting||Block reporting||User feedback|
|Prescription||immediately||timing||A little delay||Time delay|
|Number of pieces||Report all at once||once 100 strip||Single report related items||once 1 strip|
|emergency||It's urgent||No urgent||Not urgent but important||No urgent|
Instant report is called instant report , But in fact, it is also accomplished through a circular task similar to the queue , It is mainly to submit some important exceptions to the monitoring system as soon as possible , So that the operation and maintenance personnel can find problems , therefore , It corresponds to a higher degree of urgency .
The difference between batch reporting and block reporting ： Batch reporting is to report a certain number of items at a time , Like every 2 Report in minutes 1000 strip , Until the report is completed . The block report is after the exception , Collect all the logs related to the exception immediately , Find out which logs have been submitted in batch , Remove , Upload other related logs , These logs related to exceptions are relatively more important , They can help to recover the abnormal scene as soon as possible , Find out the cause of the abnormality .
Feedback from users , You can report it slowly .
To make sure the escalation is successful , There needs to be a confirmation mechanism when reporting , Because after the server receives the report log , Not immediately stored in the database , It's in a queue , therefore , The front end and back end need to do some more processing to ensure that the logs have been recorded in the database .
The figure above shows a general process of reporting , When reporting , Through the first hash Inquire about , Let the client know the collection of logs to be reported , Whether there is a log that has been saved by the server , If it already exists , Just remove these logs , Avoid double reporting , Waste traffic .
3.4 Compress reported data
When uploading batch data at one time , There must be a lot of data , Waste traffic , Or slow transmission , When the network is not good , May lead to reporting failure . therefore , Data compression before reporting is also a solution .
In the case of consolidated reporting , The amount of data may be more than ten at a time k, For Japan pv For big sites , The traffic generated is still considerable . So it is necessary to compress and report the data .lz-string Is a very good string compression class library , Compatibility is good. , Less code , High compression ratio , Short compression time , The compression rate is amazing 60%. But it is based on LZ78 Compress , If the backend does not support decompression , Can choose gzip Compress , Generally speaking, the backend will be pre installed by default gzip, therefore , choice gzip Compressed data can also , tool kit pako In the gzip Compress , You can try to use .
4 Log receiving and storage
4.1 Access layer and message queue
Generally, the client logs are received by providing an independent log server , During reception , To log the content of the client legitimacy 、 Security, etc , To prevent being attacked . And because log submission is usually more frequent , Concurrent multiple clients are also common . It is also a common scheme to write the log information to the database after processing it one by one through the message queue .
The picture above shows Tencent BetterJS The architecture of the figure , among " Access layer " and " Push Center " This is the access layer and message queue mentioned here .BetterJS Split the whole front-end monitoring modules , The push center is responsible for pushing logs to the storage center for storage and other systems （ For example, alarm system ） Role , But we can see the queue of receiving log stage independently , Make a transition between the access layer and the storage layer .
4.2 Log storage system
Storing logs is a dirty job , But I have to do . For small applications , Single database single table plus optimization can deal with . A scale application , If we want to provide a more standard and efficient log monitoring service , It is often necessary to work on the log storage architecture . At present, the industry has a relatively complete log storage scheme , There are mainly ：Hbase system ,Dremel system ,Lucene Department etc. . Overall speaking , The main problem of log storage system is the large amount of data , The data structure is irregular , High write concurrency , Great demand for inquiry . Generally a set of log storage system , To solve these problems , We need to solve the write buffer , The storage media is selected according to the log time , Design reasonable index system for convenient and fast reading and so on .
Because the log storage system is relatively mature , No more discussion here .
4.3 Search for
The ultimate goal of the log is to use , Because the volume of general logs is very large , therefore , To find the required log records in the huge data , Need to rely on a better search engine .Splunk Is a set of mature log storage system , But it's paid to use . according to Splunk Framework ,Elk yes Splunk Open source implementation ,Elk yes ElasticSearch、Logstash、Kibana The combination of ,ES be based on Lucene The storage 、 Index search engine ;logstash Is to provide input and output and conversion processing plug-in log standardization pipeline ;Kibana Provide a user interface for visualization and query statistics .
5 Log statistics and Analysis
A complete log statistical analysis tool needs to provide convenient panels in all aspects , Give feedback to loggers and developers in a visual way .
5.1 User latitude
Different requests from the same user actually form different story Line , therefore , A series of operations designed for users are unique request id It's necessary . When the same user operates at different terminals , It can also differentiate . The state of a user in an operation 、 Permissions and other information , It also needs to be reflected in the log system .
5.2 Time dimension
How does an exception happen , Before and after the abnormal operation story The lines are connected in series to observe . It's not just about one user operation , Not even limited to one page , It's the end result of a series of events .
5.3 Performance dimensions
Performance during application operation , for example , Interface loading time ,api Request duration Statistics , Consumption of unit calculation , User dead time .
5.4 Running environment dimension
Environment of applications and services , For example, the network environment where the application is located , operating system , Equipment hardware information, etc , The server cpu、 Memory condition , The Internet 、 Broadband usage, etc .
5.4 Fine grained code tracing
Abnormal code stack Information , Locate the code location and exception stack where the exception occurred .
5.6 Back to the scene
By connecting the exception related user logs , Output abnormal process with dynamic effect .
6 Monitoring and notification
Statistics and analysis of anomalies are just the basis , In case of any abnormality, it can push and alarm , Even automatic processing , It is the ability that an exception monitoring system should have .

Reasons for buying an electric two-wheeler
Reasons for buying an electric two wheeler starts with one prime objective of being environment friendly with other add-ons.
Two-wheeler market has grown significantly over the last decade. Due to increase in demand in urban & semi-urban areas, and a relatively low cost of ownership the market has grown at a tremendous pace.
Greater number of two-wheeler has incremented the toxic levels of air pollution.
Top Reasons for buying an electric two-wheeler:
1. Environment :
According to the Supreme Court-monitored EPCA, vehicles contribute "as much as 40 per cent of total emission load in Delhi and roughly 30 per cent in the region".
Switching to electric two-wheelers can help in lowering toxic emissions produced by petrol run two wheelers.
2. Low Running Cost
A Petrol two-wheeler runs at a cost of 1.5 Rs/KM approx. whereas, an electric two wheeler runs at a cost of 25 p/KM. Electric two-wheeler is quite cheaper on the running cost parameter.
3. Low Maintenance
For Petrol run Two-wheeler the cost of maintenance for a period of five to 6 years is around half the value of the vehicle when bought. There are approx 2000 moving parts in a Petrol run two-wheeler. On the contrary, Electric Two-wheeler has only 25-30 moving parts.
Thus Electric two wheeler is cheaper to maintain than its counterpart.
Electric two-wheeler is lighter in weight than the petrol counterpart.
You can charge the electric two-wheeler at your home or at office. Dedicated charging stations are springing up in bigger towns and soon the small towns will follow the lead.
The government has announced tax benefits in order to make the purchase of Electrical Vehicles or e-vehicles easier for potential customers.
Tax benefits for buyers, the government will provide additional income tax deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh on the interest paid for a loan taken to buy an e-vehicle.
The Government's focus on electric mobility is inspiring.
This is a stepping stone the way forward to a clean and green world.


Researchers look beyond 20/20 vision with 3D-printed eyes
3d printed bionic eyeball eyes
More often than not, the discussion around 3D printing human body parts revolves around internal organs, as the lists of people awaiting transplants from worthy donors is always shockingly long. However, one company, MHOX, has been working on a conceptual design for an advanced bio-printed eyeball, which would allow people to see again if struck with disease or trauma and may even give them a chance to see better than any human in history.
The eyeball concept actually comes in three different flavours. The first would provide the same functionality as our eyes do now and would be the economical version of the trio. The second, slightly more advanced iteration, could provide more advanced focusing capabilities, giving those fitted with the new eye 15/10 vision.
Related: What is 3D printing? A beginner's guide to the desktop factory
The third version would also be WiFi capable and would have the ability to record what you're seeing and automatically upload it. To activate some of these functions however, the wearer would need to swallow a pill containing certain enzymes which would then trigger WiFi connectivity or photo mode for a certain period of time, according to Dezeen.
Regardless of which version you used however, MHOX sees the process of 'implantation as largely the same. Each would involve the removal of the original eyeball, and a piece of organic hardware known as 'the deck' would be installed, acting as an interface between the optic nerve and the new eye. The eyeball itself would be printed using what researchers descibe as "bio-ink," of several different types, each containing different cells. Those cells could then be printed out in various configurations depending on which eye is being made.
Speaking about the feasibility of such technology, MHOX partner and lead designer Filippo Nassetti said: "This project is a concept design based on an intuitive vision of how existing technologies might evolve. We forecast that bioprinting and biohacking would have made impressive advances by 2027."

35951C/51C Reed Relay IMP/IMC
The 35951C Isolated Measurement Pods (IMP) and the 359551C Isolated Measurement Cards (IMC) both use reed-relay switching. This makes them ideal for applications requiring high inter-channel isolation.
In this simple concept, plant parameters are measured by intelligent, multi-channel modules, called Isolated Measurement Pods (IMPs) or rack mounted mulit-channel cards called Isolated Measurement Cards (IMCs); these are all linked together by a low cost twisted pair communications network called S-Net. The cable is connected through a special interface to the host computer, which has data acquisition software to configure and control the IMPs/IMCs and to store and display the data.
A wide range of precise process parameter measurements can be made using built-in sensor energisation, integral signal conditioning and a 16 bit ADC; signal noise is kept to an absolute minimum by using selectable integration times, and drift correction is automatically applied between scans.
The 35951C Isolated Measurement Pods (IMP) and the 359551C Isolated Measurement Cards (IMC) both use reed-relay switching, which makes them ideal for applications requiring high inter-channel isolation; they are capable of measuring up to 250 volts with the optional high voltage connector.
The IMP is housed in a NEMA4/IP55 environmentally sealed package which can be installed directly onto the plant or machinery being monitored, making installation very cost effective, and data and power are supplied from the single twisted pair cable, which can be up to 1500 metres in length. The IMC is designed for use where very high density measurement is required, and up to 14 cards may be housed in a single 5U Eurorack – then yielding up to 280 channels per rack; the rack is in turn housed in and supported by a secondary cabinet or enclosure. Both of these devices us a multi-channel removable connector block which makes installation and exchange simple.

It is known that thiol-containing compounds form monolayer membranes on a gold surface via chemisorption from organic solvents in terms of a strong connection ability between thiol and the metal. Here we prepared different kinds of thiol-containing lipids and fabricated monolayer membranes on the gold disk electrode whose surface structures were similar to biological membranes. Responses of this lipid-coated electrode to odor substances were examined by an electrochemical method of a cyclic voltammetry. Blocking ability for the redox reaction of Fe(CN)63− was found to change upon adsorption of odor substances into monolayer membranes. The order of threshold values to detect the odorants was β-iononeβ-citralβchloroform≦n-amyl acetate; this order was the same as that in the human olfactory sense. The present study indicates that the monolayer membrane of thiol-containing lipids can be useful as a transducer of an odor sensor.

TASK #1 – Define the Class
Write a class called ServerGroup, which will be a simple custom-made data structure. It will be special-purpose,
so it is NOT a template.
It is used to represent serving people waiting in a line.
The private section will have a pointer to a
dynamic integer array called servers,
an integer variable called spServer, and an integer variable called freeServer.
It will also be useful to have a variable representing the size of the array (number of elements).
The following member functions should be in the class:
-the constructor, which passes an integer into the function
that is used to set the number of elements in the array (representing the number of general-purpose servers).
It also sets the elements in the array to 0 and spServer to 0.
-A function called spServerFree, that will
return true if SpServer is 0 and false otherwise (this represents the number of clock ticks until the special-purpose server is free;
if the integer is 0, the server is already free).
-A function called serverFree, that returns true
if it finds a 0 in the array and a false otherwise (these integers also represent the number of clock ticks
until the corresponding servers are free).
If it finds a 0 in the array, it will set freeServer to the index of that element
(freeServer has the index of one of the servers that are free).
-A function called useServer that passes in an integer parameter,
avTransTime, and set servers[freeServer] to avTransTime (avTransTime is the average transaction time, in clock ticks, to server a person in the line).
A function called usespServer, that will pass in an integer parameter,
avTransTime, and set spServer to avTransTime (this is the same function as d) except that it is for the special-purpose servers where d) is for general purpose servers).
-A function called decServers, that will decrement spServer by 1, unless spServer is already 0.
If it is 0, it stays the same.
The decServers function will also decrement
each element in the array by 1, unless the element is already 0.
For example, if the array is 0 5 6 0 0 10,
then after decServers is called,
the array is 0 4 5 0 0 9 (this is called when a click tick of time elapses).
Place the class files in files with appropriate names (i.e., ServerGroup.h and ServerGroup.cpp)
TASK #2 – Test the Class
You are to implement a program that uses the ServerGroup class.
It should create a ServerGroup object, and then call all of the functions.
The best way to do it is to write a temporary print function in the class to print out the values of the array and the other private values.
When you know it works, just comment out this function (do not delete it!)

This article explains how to view the hardware serial number in EMC Elastic Cloud Search (ECS). There is a difference between the License Serial number and the Hardware Serial number.
OnCommand Insight (OCI) always displays the License Serial Number of ECS.
In EMC ECS, we have the following information:
PSNT = Hardware serial number
SWID = License serial number
ECS uses the SWID as the identifier on how storage nodes are identified. The SWID is also visible in OCI as the serial number; this is the License serial number.


Server Programmer vs. Graphics Programmer
Learn what a server programmer does versus a graphics programmer from gaming industry expert Anthony Castoro in this Howcast video.
The difference between a server programmer and a graphics programmer is a
good question because they're really on opposite ends of the spectrum on
programming. A server programmer is someone who works on the logic and code
in an online game that is in the server set, and controls everything that
happens behind the scenes. Whereas, a graphics programmer is someone who works on
the code that runs on your computer or on your console and displays all of the
different graphics: controls the special effects, the animations, all the rendering that's going on.
If you're looking to be a programmer in the game industry, you
have to ask yourself, What you really want to be involved in? Are you really
good at 3D math? Do you know what left hand versus right hand means when
it comes to mathematical formulas, or do you really like Linux and
distributive computing and you really want to be in that part of the
If you're really thinking about getting in, and you have some aptitude for
software programming, there are a wide variety of things that you can do. You should really play to your strengths. The good news is; the pay is really
good on either side of the spectrum.

Listening to great sound doesn't have to come at a great price. With just a few materials, you can build a box to house your speakers with sound quality as good as anything you might buy. Follow the steps listed below and build your own speaker box.
- Speaker driver
- Wood Glue
- Black speaker cloth
- Insulation, such as fiberglass or polyfill
Here's what to do:
- Purchase six wood boards. These boards will be the sides of your speaker box. Before deciding what wood to buy, ask a sales' associate what wood provides the best acoustics [source: Anderson].
- Measure and cut the boards so they fit around your speaker driver. The measurements will depend on the size and style speaker box you want to build.
- Measure the face of your speaker driver. Cut a hole in one of the boards for the speaker driver to sit in. This board will be the front panel of the speaker box.
- Screw the speaker driver to the front panel of the speaker box. (Place the screws in the holes on the speaker driver's side.)
- Cut the black speaker cloth to fit across the entire front panel board. Glue the cloth to the edges of the board.
- Drill holes in all the boards. Screw five of the boards together, including the board with the speaker driver, creating a box. Leave the box open in the back.
- Screw a brace to the inside of each corner of the box. This makes the box sturdier and prevents the boards from shaking when the volume is high.
- Fill the box with insulation. Choose your insulation based on the sound you want to create. Experiment with different amounts of insulation until you perfect the acoustics [source: Sabin].
- Make a hole in the back panel for the speaker wires to connect to the electricity.
- Thread the wires through the hole.
- Screw in the back panel to close the speaker box. Your speaker box is ready.

Installation position and usage process of inverted wire drawing machine
Before installing the vertical wire drawing machine, it is necessary to select an appropriate position, and then select the equipment to place on a stable ground, and then install it effectively according to its instructions. First, according to the foundation holes of the machine base, use appropriate Wall plug to fix it on the pre laid cement foundation to fix it. Afterwards, check whether the equipment can maintain a stable state and whether all auxiliary equipment is complete.
When tightening the equipment of an inverted wire drawing machine, it is necessary to pay effective attention to adjusting the position of the main machine. During operation, ensure that the center of the drum and the rotation center of the trolley are in the same position. When using the machine, it is also important to note that when adjusting the main machine, it is important to ensure that the trolley can move smoothly in both forward and backward directions. In addition, it is also necessary to connect the electrical wiring of the equipment reasonably according to the requirements of electricity consumption, ensuring that there is no leakage or short circuit phenomenon.
Some precautions during the use of an inverted wire drawing machine
During the heating process of wire drawing, there is a problem that involves controlling the temperature of the drawing liquid within what range is reasonable. Normally, the temperature of the wire drawing solution is controlled within the range of 65-85 ° C. Of course, in actual work, adjustments need to be made based on the actual situation. As we all know, after heating, the wire drawing liquid usually emits hot air in the wire drawing box.
Under normal circumstances, users of an inverted wire drawing machine need to pay attention to the issue of controlling the height of the drawing liquid below the center of the tower wheel shaft during operation. In addition, the pH of the wire drawing oil used in the wire drawing machine should also be controlled within a reasonable range. Otherwise, if it is too high, it may cause the copper wire to turn red and also cause damage to the equipment, reducing its lifespan. Also, I would like to suggest to all users that if the job requires drawing some particularly fine metal wire, attention should be paid to the slow start of the wire drawing machine equipment, and then slowly accelerate to prevent the problem of wire breakage.


Could you tell me if there is any difference in meaning between the following questions?

A new irrigation and drainage system was designed and implemented for the non-profit organization Valley Verde located in downtown San Jose. The design incorporated an existing irrigation piping system installed by Valley Verde in winter 2020 and included new structural and electrical components to make the system automated and recirculating. The new structural components were easily replicable Douglas fir tables with reflective film that mitigate heat transfer to plants situated on top. The recirculating component consisted of a submersible pump, PVC tubing, a reservoir, and an underhanging attached PVC pipe that redirects water to reservoirs. The electrical components included humidity sensors that would allow for automated irrigating when plant soil achieved a specified dryness. A rainwater catchment system was planned and analyzed to incorporate recycled rainwater for this irrigation and drainage system. The new irrigation and drainage system will allow for reduced water waste in Valley Verde's irrigation, a reduction in Valley Verde's operating costs, and elimination of flooding in their current irrigation system.

text: Secure and private authentication protocol is important in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. To date, researchers have proposed many RFID authentication protocols. However, these protocols have many flaws due to lack of theoretical support in designing these protocols. In this work, first we present the security and privacy requirements in RFID authentication protocols. Then we examine related works and point out problems in designing RFID authentication protocols. To solve these problems, we propose,and briefly prove three theorems. We also give necessary examples for better understanding these theorems with concrete protocols. At last, we give our suggestions on designing secure and private authentication protocols. The security and privacy requirements, theorems, and suggestions will facilitate better understanding and designing of RFID authentication protocols in the future.

Week 2 PPC Agenda
The Prioritizing Play Conference is almost upon us an I can't wait to share all of our amazing speakers and their topics! Check out what we've cooked up for week 2:
Relating to Play as a Spatial Justice Issue:
Case Study with Kelsey Langley of KOOP Adventure Play:
Using my love language of story sharing, I'll open each week's content with a short story of play from my playwork experience that highlights the work we're about to dive into and sets the tone for where we're headed during the week.
Alex Cote, Playworker:
Stories from a children's garden, an adventure playground, and a school playground about how adults can make more room for children's play by thinking creatively about how people read space. Why weeds are valuable, clutter is freeing, and you have more space than you think you do.
Wendy Russell, Researcher, University of Gloucestershire
Rules for re-enchanting our relationship with play: an introduction to critical cartography. Critical cartography is all about mapping and mapping is all about space. This presentation looks at using mappings to think differently about how space works and therefore about how we as adults can work to create the conditions that support play. Seeing space as 'produced' rather than as a neutral container for action highlights the power issues in this production; that's why this approach is one that sees playing as an issue of spatial justice.
Mischelle Brown, Humans2Nature:
Popping Up adventure play in unusual, unexpected and wild spaces exploring the opportunities for spatial justice in child's play.
Suzanna Law & Morgan Leichter-Saxby, Pop-Up Adventure Play:
In an interview with Morgan and Zan, they share about their namesake model that is used around the world and how it might help you in your own setting. We chat through an array of topics centered around claiming space for children and play in a variety of settings including materials and considerations to make along the way.
Sign up here! We start on September 19!


Philosophy Of Taekwondo Belts
White is the color of purity, honesty, peace, and friendship
Beginner students have little knowledge of Taekwondo; they do not have an in-depth understanding of Taekwondo and the nature of its techniques and principles. In addition, white belts in taekwondo indicate that the student does not have any degree or rank in Taekwondo.
Yellow expresses hope and strives
The yellow belt indicates that the student is facing Taekwondo rays and is going to reach the depth. In other words, the seed buds are yellow at first and turn green after growth. Therefore, it can be said that the student is like a bud that tries to grow and flourish with persistent efforts.
Green is a sign of defense.
The seed that comes out of the soil gradually turns green. Green is the color of defense. As mentioned, Taekwondo is a defensive art. All of its techniques have been developed for defense. At this stage, the student is fully acquainted with the basic techniques and can perform them well.
Blue is the color of peace.
The color of the seawater and the color of the sky. Taekwondo seedlings are now in the sky and protected from storms. Now Taekwondo players become a tree that can easily protect themselves and others like an umbrella.
Why do taekwondo fighters use a white belt at the beginning and wear a black belt when they reach the top?? What are the meanings of choosing yellow, green, blue, red, black.???
Red is the color of attack and onslaught
The color of war and blood. The color of flame and fire.
Black, the world of the unknown
 The taekwondo player has reached the unknown. On the one hand, there is despair and fear, and on the other hand, the spirit of aggression is found in the red belt. The peace he found in the blue belt has made him patient.

Q: Why is the term "seed" used when a player is put into particular bracket in a sporting contest? Is it because the organizers try to "plant" the best players around so they don't meet until the playoffs?
A: The Oxford English Dictionary's entry for the sporting sense of the verb "seed" suggests that the usage evolved in the late 19th century as a tennis term.
The OED defines it as "to assign (to several of the better competitors) a position in an ordered list, so that those most highly ranked do not meet until the later stages of an elimination competition; to arrange (a draw or event) to this end."
The verb first appeared in print in 1898, the OED says, in this passage from the magazine American Lawn Tennis:
"Several years ago, it was decided to 'seed' the best players through the championship draw, and this was done for two or three years."
So the verb may have been around for several years before it was recorded in print. It obviously had staying power.
Here's another citation, from Spalding's Lawn Tennis Annual (1900): "It is generally advisable to 'seed' the draw in handicap tournaments so that the players in each class shall be separated as far as possible one from another."
The past participle and adjective "seeded" was used for events ("Longwood is never seeded," from 1911), as well as people ("three of the women who had been 'seeded' for the draw," 1929).
The noun "seed," meaning a seeded player, was slower to catch on. According to the OED, it was first used in print in 1933 in The Aldin Book of Outdoor Games, in a reference to "the Thibetan 'seed.' "
But why "seed"? The OED doesn't explain the connection, but we can speculate. The best players are deliberately spread around – "planted," as you suggest – so they aren't too close together in the early rounds.
The fact that seeding is an appropriate image explains why the term has found a place in the language of sports.
Now, of course, the term "seeded" is often used in a more general way to refer to a high-ranked team or player: "Kelly Robinson's cover was that of a top-seeded tennis pro."

Whoops! Maybe you were looking for Lego Bricks?
Whoops! Maybe you were looking for BIONICLE?
Just let me masturbate!!
~ Sexually frustrated teenage Lego person
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article very remotely related to LEGO.
LEGO is a play set, originally made in Denmark, that depicts the almost-perfect Communist society. Everything and everyone in this society looks and behaves almost exactly the same. The people are all very short, lack any type of genitalia and also lack any capability of free thought. As such, they are frequently mistaken for North Koreans. This confusion is not helped by the fact that they do not talk to foreigners. They also hate America (a fact which led them to assassinate JFK.) Furthermore, since their original creators were danes, all Lego people are programmed to hating Sweds.
edit A typical day in the life of a Lego
DFRLego 045
A typical Lego day involves Lego people driving around in various Lego vehicles made entirely out of Lego bricks, talking to each other in the street and then returning to their Lego home. They may also visit other Lego people in their Lego homes to sit down and chat. They do not have the ability to do anything that would actually be fun to a real person, like going to strip clubs, giving birth, and having sex.
edit Jobs
Lego people do have jobs, but they have to work all day and night at their job because they are permanently dressed in relation to the job (example: if a Lego person is a doctor then he/she wears a doctor's uniform but they cannot take it off, see below.)Furthermore, due to a severe condition only found among Lego people, they are unable to sleep(see below).
edit Fashion
They have a wide variety of fashions, however, they cannot take their clothes off because their clothes are fused to their bodies. If they were to change clothes, they would have to tear their bodies apart, effectively killing them. However, if they somehow do put their bodies back together, they will be reincarnated as a completely different person.
edit LSD
Lego Sleeping Disorder is a virus which tends to attack Lego people, Refugees and Marine soldiers on duty. It is quite simply the lack of chromosones and semen that prevents the brain from sleeping. Due to it's nature, their are two knows cures, of which the first the infected would have to be Chuck Norris, and the second would require you'd kill a virgin. The first of the cures is quite simply to steal chromosones using the electronegativity of the body to rip them off a person, with a weaker electronegativity, taking them to yourself. The second is the injection of sperm cells into the infected's Testicles, and as any European knows, virgins have the largest sperm count of all people, as they will generate 12 years of sperm cells before they begin releasing their seed. People infected with LSD who choose to live with the condition, either due to weakness (Pity Yo' Fool) or human morals (pffh), will often find themselves excluded from the world, as people believe them to be Twilight vampires (see Edward Cullen).
edit Lego Puberty
Puberty for Lego people is generally an extremely frustrating experience. Without even the free will to reach their crotch, male teenage Lego men suffer from extreme sexual frustration and boredom as they do not know how to fill 90% of their time. As a result, extensive sex education programmes have been campaigned for by the Rights Association for Things That Aren't Alive.
edit In women
Basically the same thing, except they cannot reach their vagina and cannot have sex.

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Alo, says Nigeria needs assistance from the U.S in tackling the unemployment challenges bedeviling the country.
He spoke in Abuja when he received in audience a delegation from the U.S. Department of Labor, led by Kurt A. Petermeyer, the Regional Administrator, Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The Minister stated that assistance from the U. S. to upgrade the skill acquisition centres in the country would be of immense benefit to Nigeria, as it would enhance job creation.
Listing such crimes as child labour, forced labour and other ills as fallouts of unemployment, he believed that the repositioning of the Skills Acquisition Centres in the country would create more employment opportunities for the unemployed youths and others.
The Permanent Secretary acknowledged the U. S. as a long-standing dependable partner to Nigeria, and felt assured that U.S' intervention would help to reduce the crime rate among the youths, as many of them would get off the crime track when employed.
He noted that the visit was a follow-up to an earlier visit where Nigeria had sought assistance from the U.S. on the upgrading of the country's Skill Acquisition Centres and on other areas that would help in reducing unemployment in the country.
Speaking earlier, the Regional Administrator, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Kurt A. Petermeyer, said the group was on skills and facilities assessment visit to determine areas of possible assistance to Nigeria.

Weeding is a common theme in library literature. But, while librarians often use circulation statistics or other data as general guidelines for weeding print collections, few consider the value of actively engaging affected populations during the weeding lifecycle, particularly in the early stages of selecting material for retention. This paper describes a collaborative project between librarians and non-library faculty and staff to identify and retain the materials that would establish a core library collection, increase collection and resource accessibility, and aid in a library's transformation into a more student-centered space. The paper concludes with an overview of outcomes and describes how the weeding project contributed to the library's ablity to function within a more contemporary framework of service while also shifting expectations of the library's role within the greater university.


What to do one hour before bedtime to help your child wake up energetic ready for school
Posted on September 25, 2016
Get your child ready for school taking these simple steps to improve their quality of sleep. To do this, you may want to consider kiwi fruit.
Here's why:
Researchers in Taiwan took adults over age 20 and had them eat two kiwi fruit everyday one hour before bedtime. They did this each day for four weeks. At the end of four weeks, the adults were able to stay asleep for longer and their sleep quality improved.
Here are steps that you can take:
1) Talk to your doctor and ask if kiwi is okay.
2) If kiwi is not a problem, ask your doctor what amount is okay to eat each day.
3) Think about your child's normal daily pre-bedtime routine and ask yourself between which activities will you be able to fit in the kiwi.
4) Go to the grocer and buy kiwi fruit. There are several varieties. Your child may prefer golden kiwi because it's sweeter than other kiwi.
5) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: Check for any food allergies by only eating a very tiny amount in the first week. Kiwifruit contains naturally occurring actinidin, salicylate, and amines. Children are much more likely to have food allergy than adults and more likely to have more severe allergic reactions than adults. So go slow when introducing new foods.
6) If no food allergies, you can consider gradually increase the amount over time.

In conjunction with the advance in computer technology, virtual screening of small molecules has been started to use in drug discovery. Since there are thousands of compounds in early-phase of drug discovery, a fast classification method, which can distinguish between active and inactive molecules, can be used for screening large compound collections. In this study, we used Support Vector Machines (SVM) for this type of classification task. SVM is a powerful classification tool that is becoming increasingly popular in various machine-learning applications. The data sets consist of 631 compounds for training set and 216 compounds for a separate test set. In data pre-processing step, the Pearson's correlation coefficient used as a filter to eliminate redundant features. After application of the correlation filter, a single SVM has been applied to this reduced data set. Moreover, we have investigated the performance of SVM with different feature selection strategies, including SVM–Recursive Feature Elimination, Wrapper Method and Subset Selection. All feature selection methods generally represent better performance than a single SVM while Subset Selection outperforms other feature selection methods. We have tested SVM as a classification tool in a real-life drug discovery problem and our results revealed that it could be a useful method for classification task in early-phase of drug discovery.

I'm amazed to learn that the pottery of ancient Greece may help to improve the safety of space travel. The Israel Herald reports:
The study of the chemical and physical properties of ancient Attic pottery would help improve space missions, believe scientists.
Considering it importance, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded nearly 500,000 dollars to scientists from the Getty Conservation Institute, Stanford's National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) and the Aerospace Corporation earlier this year to study the secrets of Attic pottery.
Among other objectives, it is hoped that the project will improve our understanding of iron-spinel chemistry, which is critical to the advanced ceramics used for thermal protection in aerospace applications, such as protective tiles on the Mars Rover Sojourner, or the fleet of space shuttles, for example.
Attic pottery features red and black figures and was a fixture in ancient Greece from the sixth to fourth centuries B.C.Red-figure Attic pottery, circa 530 BC (image courtesy of Wikipedia)
The iron-spinel ceramic pigments found in Attic pottery are able to remain chemically stable at very high temperatures.
It's the degree of iron oxidation that provides the red and black coloring associating with Attic pottery.
There's more at the link.
I know that spinels are "resistant to chemical weathering and abrasion", but who came up with the idea that the use of iron-spinel compounds as a glaze in ancient pottery might be useful to or relevant for modern space technology? It blows my mind to think that the hand-made pottery of ancient Greece, well over two millennia old - long before anyone had even flown, never mind gone beyond our atmosphere into space! - might help to produce better heat-shield tiles to protect spacecraft against re-entry into atmosphere.
I'd never have made the connection. I wonder what inspired the National Science Foundation to do so? Some modern scientist must have had a brainwave...

of heat return. Aluminum in this matter is unrivaled. Among other things, it has minimal thermal inertia. If you turn on such a radiator, it will be warm in 10 minutes in the premises of the house or apartment.
If we are talking about a private building, then with the help of aluminum radiators it is possible to save a lot of money. Today, aluminum and bimetallic heating radiators are becoming popular, the characteristics of which are presented in the article. The latter differ in the heat return, which depends on the manufacturer and model. This parameter will be lower compared to the aluminum radiator. This is because the steel core reduces the heat emission which is 1/5 that of an aluminium battery of the same dimensions.
What is better, aluminum or bimetallic radiators for heating? Let's compare the main parameters
It becomes clear that the two types are similar only in appearance. Let's compare their basic properties.
Resistance to high pressure
One of the most important characteristics for the battery. The heating medium in the network moves under pressure, and in different systems its value can vary considerably. So, for low-rise and detached houses it is relatively small. For high-rise buildings of 16 floors and more, the values are much higher. This is due to the fact that the higher the room to be heated, the greater the pressure required to raise it.

Call Process Review
Following a decision by the 2015 General Convention of Synod (Resolution 151209), the then General Church Council commissioned an investigation into the LCA call process in order to hear from congregations about their views and expectations of the process and to identify ways the system could be improved.
The review made a number of recommendations. Overall it found that the system itself does not require significant structural change. However, it did identify that there is frustration about the system and a process that can be disheartening for some calling bodies. As a result, the review also identified scope for improvement in the efficiency and transparency of the process.
The General Church Board has received the report, considered its recommendations and approved a series of actions to implement them. These actions were developed in consultation with the College of Bishops. Some of them are already under development; for example, Church Worker Support is working on a framework for annual vocational reviews of pastors. Others will be developed and rolled out through this synodical period and beyond.
The focus of the actions is to support both calling bodies and pastors to:
- improve trust in the call process
- increase the chances of a good calling body/pastor fit
- improve the understanding of how the call process works, and
- ensure greater professionalism, and overall efficiency and transparency in the system.
These actions can be implemented through policy, operational processes and provision of resources to support all participants in the call system.

What are some tertiary consumers in the deciduous forest?
Coyotes, black bears, eagles and owls are the tertiary predators in this ecosystem. Although black bears are quite large and will eat secondary consumers, large fish and primary consumers (like rabbits), they mostly forage for berries and vegetation.
What are some tertiary consumers in a forest ecosystem?
Higher up in the forest food web are tertiary consumers, the carnivores and omnivores that eat the animals on the secondary consumer level. An example of these animals would be owls. Above the tertiary consumers are the apex predators. These animals eat carnivores and omnivores but have no natural predators.
What are some tertiary consumers?

- Crocodiles. ...
- Pythons and Boas. ...
- Other Examples of Marine Tertiary Consumers.
What do tertiary consumers do?
A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers. Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.
What animals eat tertiary consumers?
Tertiary consumers: snakes, raccoons, foxes, fish. Quaternary consumers: wolves, sharks, coyotes, hawks, bobcats. Note: Many animals can occupy different trophic levels as their diet varies.
Are humans tertiary consumer?
Tertiary consumers, sometimes also known as apex predators, are usually at the top of food chains, capable of feeding on secondary consumers and primary consumers. Tertiary consumers can be either fully carnivorous or omnivorous. Humans are an example of a tertiary consumer.
Is a badger a tertiary consumer?
An example of a tertiary consumer is a black mamba (snake). The top (apex) predator (the "alpha", super or the top of top-level predators) are predators with no natural predators of their own , at the top. The top predator in the pyramid, is the BADASS honey badger.
Why do the tertiary consumers have the least energy?
Because there are losses in energy between levels, the population between levels also diminishes. With less energy, there are less creatures that can be supported by it, so the level with the least amount of creatures would be the tertiary consumers, while the level with the most organisms would the producers.
How much energy does a tertiary consumer get?
Tertiary consumers receive 10% of the energy available at the secondary level (0.
How much energy is transferred from primary consumer to secondary?
1 Answer. 10% is transferred by primary consumer but after heat loss net amount of energy received by secondary consumer is 1% .
How does removing several secondary consumers impact the entire ecosystem?
If secondary consumers are removed from an ecosystem, the primary consumers would benefit b/c they would not have any predators. This would be negative for the producers b/c the larger population of primary consumers would over eat the producers. ... Predators hunt and consume prey.
Do secondary consumers eat primary consumers?
Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. Many secondary consumers also eat plants, which makes them omnivores (meat and plant eaters). ... Tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers and are usually carnivores (meat eaters).
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers?
Primary consumers are those that consume the primary producers (plants). For example- rabbits consume grass. Secondary consumers are those that consume the primary consumers (herbivores). For example- Snakes that consumes rabbit. Tertiary consumers are those that eats the secondary consumers (large predators).

Iron levels should be 0.1 to 1.0 ppm. If I had to recommend a specific ppm, I'd say 0.2, but I just go by plant condition.
Iron has a fairly low toxic threshold compared to most other nutrients, and you can definitely add too much. But the acceptable range still gives you a tenfold margin of error, so toxicity is fairly rare. See the black streaked anubias and discussion on page 2 of this thread
for a possible example.
If iron is too low, entire plants will lose their normal rich colorations and become pale and yellow. Here's a diagnostic chart which includes all major nutrients, including iron:
As for calibrating any test kit, it's just a matter of adding a measured amount of nutrient to a measured amount of distilled water, to produce a known concentration; and then testing to see if the result matches what you expected. The Fertilator
will allow you to calculate the result of any given amount of Flourish Iron and water, but if your test kit's lower limit is really 0.25ppm, then it might not be particularly useful. Plus iron tests are reputed to be highly inaccurate, probably because iron can exist in significantly different forms (EDTA/DPTA chelated, non-chelated, gluconates, etc.)

After our blog post on Sunday regarding the WannaCry malware breakout, LogPoint today is excited to announce our turn-key application to detect and respond to WannaCry.
The application works on LogPoint and LogPoint Free, it works for all types of devices (firewalls, content security appliances, file-shares etc) and provides a simple effective tool to monitor and contain any further spread of the malware.
In addition, as research moves forward with different samples of the WannaCry, we can provide easy and fast updates to the application.
The technical details of the application are covered below:
- Monitoring the network for unusual connections to the SMB services between workstations. As the worm propagates by infecting and spreading, we will see unusual access patterns; clients should only connect to servers – in this case, we will see clients connecting to other clients.
- The malware has a very easy-to-spot pattern: encrypting files. Detecting when this happens is carried out through the use of the LogPoint agent. By monitoring for WCRY extensions we can easily detect if an infection takes place.
- The malware exploits the vulnerability identified in MS17-010. This vulnerability is detected through Qualys and by importing all Qualys scans in LogPoint, alerts will fire immediately as vulnerable hosts are discovered by Qualys.
- Certain variations of the worm will attempt to connect to a domain, which is now sinkholed. This connection is easy to detect and our analytics application will alert the second this takes place.
1. Check for SMB connections
source_address IN HOMENET destination_port= 445 | chart distinct_count(destination_address) as DC by source_address | search DC>200
This is the case where the hosts in your infrastructure are already compromised and the malware is in the process of spreading. The first measure you should take is to apply the Microsoft security patches and disabling SMBv1 services (Guide here).
2. Identify encrypted files
norm_id=IntegrityScanner new_file IN WANNACRY_EXTENSION | chart count() by file_path, new_file order by count() desc
You can configure the LogPoint agent to monitor the integrity of your critical documents and then, if any of the hosts in your infrastructure show an evidence of change in the file formats, particularly to WCRY or similar, you might need to start looking for a quick response.
3. Check for the vulnerability
col_type=qualys* qualys_id IN [91345, 91357, 91359, 91360, 70077, 91360, 91345] | chart count() by source_address, title order by count() desc
If the vulnerability MS17-010 – Critical for SMB exists in the Windows systems, apply the following patch (here)
4. Check for sinkhole connections
norm_id=* url IN WANNACRY_DOMAIN or domain IN WANNACRY_DOMAIN | chart count() by source_address order by count() desc
You can see a connection to a kill switch, which seems to speed down the infection rate. You can update the WANNACRY_DOMAIN list if a new sinkhole is observed. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the attack has stopped, but the latest update on the ransomware seems to have left out the kill switch. If any connection variants from the infected hosts are identified, the list can be updated to check for such activity.
Supported Log Sources
- SMB Connections: Firewall sources
- Encrypted Files: File Integrity scanners, LogPoint Agent in this case.
- Vulnerable Sources: Penetration testing tools for a security vulnerability, Qualys in this case.
- Sinkhole Domain: Internet and Email activities identifying the visited URLs or domains, PaloAlto, Sophos UTM, IronPort, Juniper Secure Access etc.

There are many plugins which enhance registration options, but I have seen none which allow for users to be automatically sorted into different usergroups upon registration, based on custom criteria.
The native settings currently allow for the all new registrants to be placed into a certain role, initially. My knowledge of PHP is beginner level, but it seems much of like this would be easy to do, since many of the basic functions already exist.
- If registration email contains user-defined criteria, then filter into certain user group automatically. Highly useful if you say, wanted to have a student usergroup for large numbers of students. Upon registering with an activation link from a.edu email, they are sorted as such. Numerous other applications apply
Add a single field to registration form, which allows for any possible sorting profile based on an alphanumeric value entered in this field.
- The option to turn a single field, lets call it "referral code", on during registration.
- User then specifies rules for sorting new registrants into different user roles (would be incredible if this could hook up with the capabilities of plugins like
to create a rule which says something like:
- If referral code contains the string "AT2", then place into "X" usergroup, which has the ability to view content restricted (by currently existing plugins) to groups X,D,and R.
Another way to add powerful functionality for sites which require a lot of automated user management and categorization would be to add a means of easily adding custom profile fields to user's profile. These fields could be hidden to public, or visible to public.
This would then be combined with user defined rules which modify this information in user's profiles. For example:
- If X radio button value was selected during registration, and Y checkmark was selected, then add a note saying "Z" to that user's profile, and make this note hidden to public, and the user.
