![]() OT engineers, in general, have traditionally focused more on human safety, and not really touched cyber security.Īwen exists to reduce cyber risk and increase cyber resilience within the industrial sectors, giving value to both traditional IT-based cyber experts who are turning their attention to OT, and to OT engineers who are becoming concerned about their cyber security. Cyber security experts, in general, have traditionally focused on IT-based cyber security. We have an opportunity here to increase not only awareness but knowledge and skill. ![]() There are some amazing service providers out there who truly specialise in industrial cyber security, and others who are striving to become better in this emerging field. There are some great solutions out there, and some which could be better. There is no silver bullet for the problems related to the cyber security of Operational Technology (OT). And if it turns out you need to, say, uninstall some remote desktop software, your pre-incident preparation will likely involve another round of security auditing if you have a rigorous change management plan. normal in the first place), and so on and so forth. Even then, it's not a one-time endeavour no matter what sector you operate in, it is necessary to regularly perform audits, scan your network and hosts for any suspicious behaviour or vulnerabilities (provided that you know what would constitute as suspicious vs. Preventing yourself from being the next target and appearing on the news for all the wrong reasons is less painful and is cheaper than cleaning up the aftermath of an attack. Are your organisation's VPN servers hardened? Is multi-factor authentication enabled where possible? Is it really necessary to utilise screen-monitoring capabilities where you’re doing so? Are you and your colleagues running the latest versions of your communication platforms? What about the devices on your physical site? Do you even know what remote-access software is running on your systems, right now?Īsking such questions and being thorough in finding the answers is absolutely worth the cost, as any organisation that has been hit will tell you. The use of remote software was already common in industrial plants before lockdowns to monitor performance, but with so many professionals working from home these days, it's especially imperative to (just one more time today) inspect what technology you use to enable remote work. ![]() If the attacker had gotten their hands on the proper credentials, it's possible that the attack could have been carried out in the middle of the night. What prevented this intrusion from becoming life-threatening was the watchful eye and quick action of the operator. How to prevent the incident from happening again, or happening to you ![]() Still, whether the intrusion was carried out due to a weakness in TeamViewer, stolen credentials, a Windows 7 zero-day, or a combination of these factors, we must consider what steps to take to ensure all of these potential exposures are managed and reinforced. This is plenty of time for vulnerabilities to be discovered, without any patches to be officially released for them. It is suspected that the attacker took advantage of systems still using Windows 7, whose end-of-life date was early last year. In the days following the intrusion, the treatment plant has uninstalled the software that enabled the hacker to gain access, and TeamViewer has asserted that there is no indication it was their platform that was compromised. It is unknown where the breach even originated or how many people were behind the attack: whether the attacker or attackers operated within the state of Florida, or from across the world. Authorities cannot publicly describe if the attacker accessed TeamViewer using a zero-day vulnerability or by using a known one. So thanks to the quick response of the keen-eyed operator at the treatment plant, the residents of Oldsmar, really did have a lucky escape! How it happenedĪt the time of writing, no arrests have been made. However, the substance is very corrosive, and can have serious health consequences if ingested. Under normal circumstances, lye is a substance that is added to water to control the acidity. The treatment plant supplies water to around 15,000 residents as well as businesses in the area. This attack could have otherwise had very serious consequences to the population of Oldsmar. The operator monitoring the system at the time of the cyber attack immediately noticed the increase of lye from 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million and reversed the change. Through remote desktop software TeamViewer, the hacker took control of an employee’s computer at the water treatment plant and subsequently increased the amount of sodium hydroxide (lye) in the water to dangerous levels. On Friday 5th February, a hacker tried to poison the water supply of Oldsmar, Florida, after gaining access to the water treatment control system.

We climbed up onto the roof of the car and John pulled out of his luggage a bottle of whiskey. "The driver, who spoke hardly a word of English, got out, opened up the hood, started tinkering around for a bit and then disappeared into the night. "We got to the middle of the desert and the car broke down," Allen recalls. They were supposed to be driven overnight from one shooting location to another. The two were in Tunisia in the middle of the Sahara Desert shooting some scenes at the Well of Souls. One of the things I fought for in making the film was when there was a moment in which she might have tipped into the damsel in distress mode, I thought, 'no no no, let her grab a frying pan and knock somebody over the head with it.'"Īllen brings up an incident she experienced with John Rhys-Davies, who played Sallah in the movie. "Or at times, there were no choices that were written, she was just sort of along for the ride. But then, over the course of the script, there were some times when I felt I wanted to make more active choices," Allen says. "The script had this very strong character that we met initially. "Her old lover comes in and she cracks him in the jaw? I thought, 'Well I like this girl!'" she recalls.īut after that initial punch, Marion's heavy drinking, smoking, fighting, and bold moves were things that Allen had to fight to include. The actor was immediately taken with the character. Suddenly I had stuck my toe into the film world." After the movie debuted, Steven Spielberg saw Animal House, and sent Allen the script for Raiders. I just sent a picture and resume and got a call and went in and was offered this role. "There was a little three by five card on the wall. "I got Animal House just by chance," Allen says. As a student of counter-culture theatrical icons like Jerzy Grotowski and Lee Strasburg, she honed her skills in New York before essentially making a 180-degree turn by taking the part of Katy in a 1978 college comedy classic. I played that role, and now I’d like to play something completely different."īefore getting the role of Marion, Allen was a member of an experimental theater troupe for a number of years. Says the actor now, "I spent a few years trying to shake Marion off of me. Instead, Allen wanted to develop her craft, continue working in theater, and pursue more creative outlets. But that wasn’t very interesting to me," she says. "It’s one of those things that, when you do something successfully, there’s an awful lot of people who just want you to do it again and again and again. A huge box office success, the film catapulted Allen to a fame she says she wasn't quite ready for. "I spent a good number of years running from that film, in a sense," she says, speaking to Bustle for the 35th anniversary of Raiders. But there was a time when Allen tried to escape Marion's legacy, and though she tells Bustle that Raiders is now a pleasant memory for her, and a classic film, there was a time when she wanted nothing to do with it. Marion is a legend, and for strong, independent gals like myself who now slam their glasses down on the bar upside down in tribute, Marion is the co-hero of Raiders. She owns a bar in which she has a shot drinking contest against a man three times her size and wins. She drinks, she fights, and she fires guns. ![]() ![]() Marion gets captured a few times, but she takes action. A fierce character who's become a feminist icon, Ravenwood went toe to toe with Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones and permeated the minds of little girls everywhere, including myself. Karen Allen's Raiders of the Lost Ark heroine Marion Ravenwood is one for the history books. ![]() Wireshark is a data capturing program that "understands" the structure ( encapsulation) of different networking protocols. The product website lists more than 2000 contributing authors. Ĭombs continues to maintain the overall code of Wireshark and issue releases of new versions of the software. ![]() It is also the top-rated packet sniffer in the Insecure.Org network security tools survey and was the SourceForge Project of the Month in August 2010. Wireshark has won several industry awards over the years, including eWeek, InfoWorld, and PC Magazine. In 2022, Sysdig took over as the primary sponsor of Wireshark and in 2023, Sysdig established and put Wireshark into the Wireshark Foundation. Ethereal development has ceased, and an Ethereal security advisory recommended switching to Wireshark. In 2010 Riverbed Technology purchased CACE and took over as the primary sponsor of Wireshark. However, he did not own the Ethereal trademark, so he changed the name to Wireshark. Combs still held copyright on most of Ethereal's source code (and the rest was re-distributable under the GNU GPL), so he used the contents of the Ethereal Subversion repository as the basis for the Wireshark repository. In May 2006, Combs accepted a job with CACE Technologies with Loris Degioanni. The Ethereal trademark is owned by Network Integration Services. The commercial protocol analysis products at the time were priced around $1500 and did not run on the company's primary platforms (Solaris and Linux), so Gerald began writing Ethereal and released the first version around 1998. In the late 1990s, Gerald Combs, a computer science graduate of the University of Missouri–Kansas City, was working for a small Internet service provider. If a remote machine captures packets and sends the captured packets to a machine running Wireshark using the TZSP protocol or the protocol used by OmniPeek, Wireshark dissects those packets, so it can analyze packets captured on a remote machine at the time that they are captured. ![]() On Linux, BSD, and macOS, with libpcap 1.0.0 or later, Wireshark 1.4 and later can also put wireless network interface controllers into monitor mode. Simple passive taps are extremely resistant to tampering. Port mirroring or various network taps extend capture to any point on the network. However, when capturing with a packet analyzer in promiscuous mode on a port on a network switch, not all traffic through the switch is necessarily sent to the port where the capture is done, so capturing in promiscuous mode is not necessarily sufficient to see all network traffic. Wireshark lets the user put network interface controllers into promiscuous mode (if supported by the network interface controller), so they can see all the traffic visible on that interface including unicast traffic not sent to that network interface controller's MAC address. Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end and integrated sorting and filtering options. Wireshark, and the other programs distributed with it such as TShark, are free software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 or any later version. There is also a terminal-based (non-GUI) version called TShark. Wireshark is cross-platform, using the Qt widget toolkit in current releases to implement its user interface, and using pcap to capture packets it runs on Linux, macOS, BSD, Solaris, some other Unix-like operating systems, and Microsoft Windows. Originally named Ethereal, the project was renamed Wireshark in May 2006 due to trademark issues. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. Hundreds of developers around the world have contributed to it, and it it still under active development.Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998. Wireshark is one of the world's foremost network protocol analyzers, and is the standard in many parts of the industry. ![]() Hamill also appeared in the less-than-successful Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978 and later starred in the successful sequels The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Released in May 1977, Star Wars was an enormous, unexpected success and had a huge effect on the film industry. He suggested to Hamill that he audition for the role as it turned out, Hamill's agent had already set up the audition that gave him the role. After watching the auditions for a while, he realized that Hamill, his friend, would be perfect for the role of Luke Skywalker. Robert Englund was auditioning for a role in Apocalypse Now when he walked across the hall where auditions were taking place for George Lucas's Star Wars. He later enrolled at Los Angeles City College, majoring in drama. Kinnick High School, from which he graduated in 1969. By his junior year, his father was stationed in Japan, where Hamill attended and was a member of the Drama Club at Nile C. During his first year at James Madison High School in San Diego, his family moved back to Virginia, and Hamill attended Annandale High School. At age 11, he moved to the 5900 block of Castleton Drive in San Diego, California, where he attended Hale Junior High School. In his elementary years, he went to Walsingham Academy in Williamsburg, Virginia, and Edgar Allan Poe Middle School in Annandale, Virginia. His father's changes of station and attendant family moves led to the Hamill children switching schools often. Hamill has described his father as a staunch Roman Catholic, and " Nixon Republican". His father has Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry and his mother was of half Swedish and half English descent. He is one of seven children, having two brothers, Will and Patrick, and four sisters, Terry, Jan, Jeanie, and Kim. Mark Richard Hamill was born on September 25, 1951, in Oakland, California, to Virginia Suzanne ( née Johnson) and William Thomas Hamill, a U.S. He has also voiced the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man, Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Skips in Regular Show. He is known for his long-standing role as the Joker in various DC Comics projects, commencing with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. Hamill is a prolific voice actor in animation and video games. He has also appeared on stage in several theater productions, primarily during the 1980s. His other film appearances include Corvette Summer (1978) and The Big Red One (1980). He is known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, beginning with the original 1977 film and subsequently winning three Saturn Awards for his performances in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), and The Last Jedi (2017).

This creates what is called a ‘closed system’. The problem that these regulators can create is that they will act as a check valve they’ll allow water into the home, but they won’t allow water back out. In Minnesota, it’s rare for a check valve to be installed on the water supply line for the house, but it’s fairly common to have a pressure regulator installed. This doesn’t happen every time that a pressure reducing valve or check valve is installed, but there may be other problems that show up in the house, such as the toilet fill valves randomly re-filling toilets, or faucets chronically dripping. Here’s a short video clip showing this happening: It relieves the excess pressure by leaking a little bit of water. When the pressure builds up enough, the temperature and pressure relief valve on the water heater simply does its job. As the water heater heats the water, it expands, which builds up pressure. What happens when a one-way valve, or check valve, gets installed on the water supply piping for the house? This is illustrated in the diagram below. The municipal water supply for the house acts as a gigantic expansion tank… and nobody notices. When this happens, where does the water go? Right back out the cold water inlet, all the way back to the water supply coming into the house. When a water heater fires up, the water in the tank expands. Why most Minnesota homes don’t have a problem with excessive water pressure To help understand what this is all about, please read on. When a water heater is connected to a closed system, an expansion tank must be installed to prevent excessive pressure in the water. ![]() Also, any imagery or graphic elements that need to be included are positioned and refined on the computer. I work on choosing typefaces, take care of leading and kerning. From there I park myself in front of the computer and assemble the parts. If I am designing for a client with a specific goal and and a clear vision, I usually start with a sketch. THE CREATIVE PROCESS My process can go one of two ways depending on the project. But yes, that would be a goal for the future. ROOM TO GROW At this point we do not have enough work to consider myself full time, however with our design and printing we keep busy but of course there is always room for growth. ![]() And I think my background in graphic design makes this a lot easier for me. I enjoy helping designers make good choices, understand the medium, and ultimately realizing the project in a physical form. I will do design for anyone who needs it, but I also think it is great working with designers and other creatives who have such wonderful visions. It is not terribly exciting but it gets the job done.ĭESIGNED FOR PRINT I am a designer/printer and also a jobber. I have lots of letterpress gadgets and I also have a bunch of drawers of type and cuts. I have a Heidelberg windmill, a Challenge paper cutter, and a platemaker. PARADISE IN THE PRAIRIE STATE My shop is small but capable. So I did and that is where I finally got my hands covered in ink. He, along with Suzanne Cohen-Lange, encouraged me to apply to the program there. At the time, Bill Drendel was working at CCCBPA and I was always amazed at the work he was bringing in to exhibit. It was exactly what I wanted to be doing as an artist and designer. I found myself frequenting places like the Newberry Library and Columbia College Center for Book and Paper Arts. Heck, I lived in a neighborhood called Printer’s Row. But fortunately for me, Chicago has the allure of letterpress built right into the city. What I truly enjoyed was crafting with the hand, touching the material, etc. I sort of have a difficult relationship with technology. After a time of working in front of the computer I found that the translation didn’t always work for me. Upon returning to the US, I thought I would work my skills into the graphic design thing. With a lot of solitude and free time I became obsessed with writing and lettering. IN THE BEGINNING The story kind of starts when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa. And in the years between I spent time being a dad for two little boys. Over there, Sam Wilder and Matthew Cordell taught me all the ins and outs of running a Heidelberg windmill. ![]() A couple years before that I worked at Rohner Letterpress in Chicago. I have been doing that for a little over a year. THE INS & OUTS OF PRINTING I am the owner and operator of Thomas & Brown in Oak Park, Illinois.

Do you? Or does the company that collates them and creates a model of you. The first is antitrust: There’s three antitrust bills that are pending at the U.S. We look at them as separate problems, but they’re identical. Surveillance capitalism pulls together four things. Read: What Facebook did to American democracy Without these, we have no shared space and democracy is a dream. Do you wonder why we have no shared space? I say this over and over. He said the greatest crisis we face is our Paleolithic emotions, our medieval institutions, and our godlike technology. So think about emergent behavior in humans. Wilson, who passed away in December, studied emergent behavior in ants. The tech platforms that now distribute the news are actually biased against facts, and they’re biased against journalists. ![]() Today we live in a behavior-modification system. That’s like if you had a polluted river and were only looking at a test tube of water instead of where the pollutant is coming from. Surveillance capitalism, which Shoshana Zuboff has described in great detail, is what powers this entire thing. Go further upstream to where our personal data has been pulled together by machine learning to make a model of you that knows you better than you know yourself, and then all of that is pulled together by artificial intelligence.Īnd that’s the mother lode. And that’s not even where the problem is. That’s where one editor’s decision is multiplied millions and millions of times. That’s the operating system that’s where the micro-targeting is. Move further upstream to algorithmic amplification. All of our debate starts with content moderation. Read: The grim conclusions of the largest-ever study of fake news Hard to capture your amygdala the way lies do. But when we’re up against lies, we just can’t win, because facts are really boring. I spent that entire time learning how to tell stories that will make you care. And by 2018, MIT writes a paper that says that lies laced with anger and hate spread faster and further than facts. So what happened? Content creation was separated from distribution, and then the distribution had completely new rules that no one knew about. I wish we still had the gatekeeping powers, but we don’t. I peg it to when journalists lost the gatekeeping powers. This is what I said in the Nobel lecture: An atom bomb has exploded in our information ecosystem. The same thing has happened in our information ecosystem, but it is silent and it is insidious. I’ve said this over and over, that, really, this is like when 140,000 people died instantly in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. ![]() And guess what? Your elections are coming up too. I call it an “Avengers assemble” moment in the Philippines. So here’s what I’m going to talk about today, really just three things: What happened? How did it change us? And what can we do about it? These are critical for me. And the question that goes through my head is, if in 2014, eight years ago, we did something about it, would we be where we are today? No, we wouldn’t be. And of course, I’ve had to revise it once Russia invaded Ukraine. The prologue for the book-which I pushed in at the end of last year-started with Crimea and the annexation in 2014, because that’s when you began to see the splintering of reality that had geopolitical impact. And the question I really want to ask you is the question we had to confront: What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth? Because these are the times we live in. I put all of this stuff together in a book, and this is part of the reason you’ll see these ideas over and over. And how do you have integrity of elections if you don’t have integrity of facts? That’s a reality that we’re living with. Filipinos are going to the poll and we are choosing 18,000 posts, including the president and vice president. In the Philippines, we’re 33 days before our presidential elections.

It provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting. Once the installation is finished, we can now open the program by looking for its launcher on our computer: MeshLab the open source system for processing and editing 3D triangular meshes. If we want install this program as snap, we are only going to have to open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run this command to install MeshLab: Now we can run the program using in the same terminal: Once the download is finished, we will have to give execute permission with this other command: sudo chmod +x We can also open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and download MeshLab as AppImage using wget As follows: Then we will only have to give it execution permissions and double click on the file to execute it. ![]() To download the MeshLab AppImage file we will only have to go to the releases page of the project and save it on our computer. Ubuntu users We can use MeshLab both as an AppImage file and through its snap pack. They can consult all of them in detail from the project website. These are just some of the features of the program. In addition, the automatic filters will return various geometric and topological information about the 3D model.
![]() They destroy everything within four squares and are activated the same way as bombs. Warheads are the rarest of special tiles you get them from matching seven in one combination.Just like bombs, clear the earth before you can use the tile. Lightning tiles can also appear buried in the earth. These tiles will instantly clear every type of tile they are matched with. ![]() Set off seven bombs in one level to get lightning tiles.Clear the earth, and then you can use the bomb. Sometimes bombs will be buried in the earth. Bombs can also be double clicked to activate them without moving it. Swap the bomb with a token in order to destroy all the tiles within two squares of the bomb. If you match 5 tiles in a row, you will get a bomb.These are worth a lot of money for clearing too! These count as gold tiles for purposes of finishing a level. In some levels, there are gold and gems buried in the earth.You don’t need to clear all the earth to finish the level, but it certainly helps. To get rid of them simply make a match on the tiles next to the earth. The earth tiles will get in your way as you play.This means there must be two matches made within the same tile in order to clear it. This means a standard match nets you three money. For every gold tile you match, you will get 1 money.The game will highlight a suggested match after a short delay. If it completely runs out, you will have to retry the level. As the green bar drops below the gold and silver coins, your time bonus will shrink. Every level has a timer on the right side of the screen.This is done by making a match within the gold tiles. In order to win you must clear all the gold tiles from the level.From the tank, just click on the green arrow in the bottom right corner to start a level.This means that you will be swapping tiles on a board in order to arrange three of the same tile in a row. At its heart, the game is a match three puzzle game.Now that you understand the basics of the game, it’s time to head to the gameplay portion of the walkthrough. ![]()
