This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Apologies for not introducing myself in the audio! I struggled a bit to take on this topic at a high enough level to keep it to about a half hour, because every subtopic is nuanced and the details are always technical. Not sure how well it worked out but my intention was to focus mainly on the 2 most common examples - hiding messages in text and in images. Topics I mentioned: encryption vs steganography who uses steganography and for what purpose? hiding text in text hiding data in images using LSB encoding hiding data in other places steganalysis If you want to leave feedback, consider saying whether you think it would be more useful to talk about: using the most popular tools and software detailed look at specific steganographic techniques case studies in the unlikely case that I do a followup episode (I doubt there's a strong interest in this topic) Provide feedback on this episode .…

Recently I had a discussion on Mastodon about mobile phone applications. The other person stated "the web belongs to web browsers". I agreed to it as a general good approach. Some dedicated apps cannot be substituted with the browser, but some can. I do not have so many apps myself, but anyway that statement got me to review a couple of my apps how they works in the Firefox browser. And actually, I could delete three apps and all functions I needed from them can be managed from Firefox. Beside traditional bookmarks, those pages can be pinned to the Firefox start page or placed like a webapp on the mobile screen, so they look like an ordinary app. Using the Firefox browser makes it easier to control the privacy. In addition to what is built into Firefox, I currently also have the two extensions, Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin in my Firefox browser. Beside privacy and in general to be somewhat more in control, this approach also reduces the number of apps to keep updated and reduce storage need. Sometimes apps are necessary of otherwise beneficial. But I think the traditional browser should not be forgotten also on the smart mobile phone.…

Power Measurement and Antenna Gain HPR show by Paulj, May 2025. 1.0 Power expressed in dB (also written as dBW) Power PdB = 10 . log10P Where P is the power expressed in Watts. 2.0 Power expressed in dBm Power PdBm = 10 . log10P Where P is the power expressed in milliwatts. 1W = 1000mW Power PdBm = 10 . log101000mW Power PdBm = 30 dBm so: 0 dB = 30 dBm 3.0 Power expressed relative to an isotropic antenna - dBi An Isotropic antenna is an theoretical ideal antenna which radiates equally in all directions. Imagine the antenna is at the centre of a sphere, the signal strength at the surface of the sphere is equal at all points. The gain of an isotropic antenna is defined as 1, meaning: 10 dB = 10 dBi 4.0 Power expressed relative to a half wave dipole antenna - dBd The simplest practical antenna is a half wave dipole antenna, where each of the two legs is a quarter wave length long. The feed is at the centre, and the two legs are generally horizontal, and aligned away from the feed point 180 degrees apart. The dipole antenna exhibits gain perpendicular to the legs. The maximum gain is 1.64 times the isotropic antenna - a gain of approximately 2.15dBi. The gain off the ends of the dipole is much lower - the total power radiated by the antenna can not exceed the power being input, so if there is more radiation (gain) in one direction, there must be a corresponding reduction in a different direction. So: 2.15 dBi = 0 dBd 5.0 Effective Radiated Power - ERP and EIRP ERP and EIRP are both used to indicate the power achieved using an antenna.ERP compares the antenna performance with a dipole, and EIRP compares the performance with an isotropic antenna. So, the ERP is the power which would need to be fed into a dipole antenna, to get the same effect in the direction your antenna is pointing. EIRP is the power required for an isotropic antenna to gain equivalence. Practical example: My KX3 can transmit 15W. using the formula above, this is 11.77 dB. If I attach a Yagi-Uda antenna with a gain of 10dB, the ERP is 21.77 dB. Using the formula above, from this number you can calculate that this is the equivalent of 150.3142 Watts ERP. To understand the EIRP, we need to add 2.15 to the 21.77 dB value, giving 23.92 dB EIRP. Again, converting to actual power gives 246.515 Watts EIRP. If you are comparing antennas, make sure the same units are being used in all cases (either EIRP or ERP) - some sellers will use EIRP, because the values are higher! Check your licence conditions. Power output limits are often at the antenna, and don't include antenna gain. You can set your transmitter to output sufficient power to overcome any feed line losses, and present up to the power permitted to the antenna. A good antenna can then be used to get the transmitted power out and across the world. For feedline loses, the value is given in dB per 10 metres. For example, RG58 is 2dB / 10 metres (at…

Isaac Asimov began with the Foundation series, but then added to it. Early on, he wrote what are called the Empire novels which are prequels to the rise of Trantor.

In this episode, I discuss my ongoing project aimed at mapping the dependencies municipalities have on major third-party digital services, particularly focusing on Microsoft and Google , given their dominance in the market. The aim of this research isn't about debating the quality of these products—it's assumed that with thousands of employees, these services meet most quality expectations. Instead, the focus is on the critical implications of widespread dependency and potential risks related to service interruptions or supply chain attacks. Why is this important? Supply Chain Attacks : High dependency means higher vulnerability to targeted disruptions. Business Continuity : Significant risks were illustrated by incidents such as the CrowdStrike outage in July 2024 , which forced Brussels Airport back to pencil-and-paper operations temporarily. My Research Approach: Primarily, I analyze the DNS MX records of municipalities: MX records typically reveal if mail services are hosted on Microsoft (Office 365/Exchange Online) or Google (Workspace). A high probability that using these providers for email also means municipalities likely depend on the respective cloud office suite (e.g., Word/Excel/SharePoint or Docs/Sheets/Drive). Preliminary Observations: Belgium, Finland, Netherlands : Over 70% of municipalities rely heavily on Microsoft mail services, a significant warning sign of dependency. Germany, Hungary : Fewer than 5% of municipalities use Microsoft or Google explicitly via MX records, though caution is necessary. Here’s why: Challenges Identified: Local MS Exchange Servers : Municipally hosted local installations aren't externally identifiable via MX records. Mail Proxies : Some municipalities use mail proxy services (spam/phishing filters) obscuring the actual mail service used behind proxy domains. Techniques Tested: SPF Records : Often reveal the underlying email service, though they may contain outdated information, lowering reliability. Telnet EHLO Commands : Municipalities commonly obscure their SMTP headers, limiting usefulness. Cloud Provider IP-Ranges : Investigating if mail servers run on Google, Amazon, or Azure infrastructure. Even if identified, this alone doesn't clarify if proprietary or replaceable services are used. TXT Records : Occasionally contain subscription keys or mail-related settings (e.g., MS subscriptions, Mailjet), but again, could be historical remnants. Unfortunately, none of these get to show me all of the third party services. Community Call: I'm reaching out to listeners and the broader community for ideas or techniques on reliably fingerprinting the actual digital service providers behind mail servers. Specifically: How to accurately determine if servers run Microsoft or Google services ? Any ideas to detect deployments of Nextcloud or similar open-source alternatives?

Standard UNIX password manager Password management is one of those computing problems you probably don't think about often, because modern computing usually has an obvious default solution built-in. A website prompts you for a password, and your browser auto-fills it in for you. Problem solved. However, not all browsers make it very easy to get to your passwords store, which makes it complex to migrate passwords to a new system without also migrating the rest of your user profile, or to share certain passwords between different users. There are several good open source options that offer alternatives to the obvious defaults, but as a user of Linux and UNIX, I love a minimal and stable solution when one is available. The pass command is a password manager that uses GPG encryption to keep your passwords safe, and it features several system integrations so you can use it seamlessly with your web browser of choice. Install pass The pass command is provided by the PasswordStore project. You can install it from your software repository or ports collection. For example, on Fedora: $ sudo dnf install pass On Debian and similar: $ sudo apt install pass Because the word pass is common, the name of the package may vary, depending on your distribution and operating system. For example, pass is available on Slackware and FreeBSD as password-store. The pass command is open source, so the source code is available at git.zx2c4.com/password-store. Create a GPG key First, you must have a GPG key to use for encryption. You can use a key you already have, or create a new one just for your password store. To create a GPG key, use the gpg command along with the --gen-key option (if you already have a key you want to use for your password store, you can skip this step): $ gpg --gen-key Answer the prompts to generate a key. When prompted to provide values for Real name, Email, and Comment, you must provide a response for each one, even though GPG allows you to leave them empty. In my experience, pass fails to initialize when one of those values is empty. For example, here are my responses for purposes of this article: Real name: Tux Email: tux@example.com Comment: My first key This information is combined, in a different order, to create a unique GPG ID. You can see your GPG key ID at any time: $ gpg --list-secret-keys | grep uid uid: Tux (My first key) tux@example.com Other than that, it's safe to accept the default and recommended options for each prompt. In the end, you have a GPG key to serve as the master key for your password store. You must keep this key safe. Back it up,…

Lessons I've learned moderating 5+ tech panels: Preparation: Be familiar with the panelists and their subject matter. Avoid asking common questions. Set up the stage using a semicircle arrangement rather than formal tables to promote dialogue between panelists. Ensure that each panelist has their own microphone to prevent any accidental dominance in the discussion. Execution: Set a friendly and informal tone before the panel starts to help nervous panelists relax. Involve the audience by encouraging questions and conducting polls to increase engagement. Use a central microphone for audience questions to avoid delays and maintain a smooth flow. Listen carefully to questions and rephrase them if necessary to ensure clarity for the panelists. Know when to politely wrap up discussions to keep the conversation moving.…

Topic 2: I listened to you! a) Comment from Archer72: "[...] Audio setups are *definitely* of interest to hackers :)" Link: https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4325/index.html#comment_4278 b) From hpr4351 :: HPR Community News for March 2025 (on the show) Something like: 'I'm not going to read your (long) comments, give a show on it'. Sorry for making you read my comments, dear HPR Janitors! (Specially you, good-voice Sgoti) Link: https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4351/index.html Topic 3: My audio setup (Also you can see written on a commentary of mine on the link on Topic 2 a). Topic 4: My audio editing (when I do) With examples. * On the sibilance ("sss") example, the adjustment settings for the to-be-better fragment was an agressive cut of -7.4 dB on frequency 5.8 kHz (for advanced curiosity: Q 4.73, threshold -36.3 dB, ratio 3.8:1). Did it only with some testing, and knowing that sibilance normally is at about 6 kHz (when it happens, because here the dynamic microphone ended up not capturing too much of it). Topic 5: I'm in a new working time If you can, do a word of prayer to God in favour of me. If anything I said "that is better" is, actually, worse, don't worry thinking you are perceiving it wrongly, it's just that I'm not a professional and can have made it wrong. Or it's only a matter of taste, it's fine also; the ideas are there, and I welcome your participation too. Thank you!

This is just an introduction, here is the rough text of the audio: Hello HPR: I'm murph, I've been an HPR listener for a long-time, into the TWAT days. I'll try to keep it quick. I started in computers in the early 80's with a VIC-20. After a few of the Commodore 8-bits, I settled into the Amiga line, which I daily drove up into this century, and stll have a few. In college in the 90's, I had a dilemma. I wanted to do C programming homework from home, but the expensive Amiga compiler wasn't compatible with the Sun workstations at school. Another student introduced me to Linux, and I promptly ordered a set of Slackware CDs and figured out how to install. I was looking for the compilers to complete my studies, but have stayed for the freedom, and the communities, like this one. I've used countless distros over the years, and use a few for different needs. I am still a Linux user, and system administrator. I've given a few talks on things like gnu/screen, mastodon, tmux ay conventions like Penguicon, SCaLE, HOPE and some more regional conferences. I was inspired by Lyle and Thaj Sera's HPR birds of a feather talk, and thought that it would make a good presentation, and asked them to let me base a talk off of it, which they encouraged. Part of that is how to submit a show, which resulted in me finally, after all this time, finally submitting one of my own, as opposed to the occassional show I've crassly barged into. If you want to reach me, the best ways would be by email or on the fediverse, @murph@hackers.town Thanks for listening.…

Intro Hello, this is your host, Archer72, for Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, this is my third show involving my record player. I am using a Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder microphone, recording into Audacity for this show. Why visit the record shop? Picking up a record at the record shop expands my music choices. I get a chance to talk to the owner on the weekend when searching for new music. He is an archaeologist and a teacher at a local college during the week, and is knowledgeable on all the music in the store. One Year With the Institute - Archive.org I wanted a way to listen to the records while on my laptop, preferably with headphones, as to not disturb the household. How is this accomplished? This is done using a combination of Darkice to capture the stream, and Icecast to stream it to the local network. What is Icecast? Icecast is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction. Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/icecast.xml.dist.gz icecast.xml.dist if the default config gets mangled or corrupted by myself. Several other types of configs are also in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/ that include a bare bones config and the installed icecast2 config is located in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml Configuration needed to be personalized <location>Cynthiana,KY</location> <admin>ricemark20.nospam@nospam.gmail.com</admin> Change the passwords from hackme to a more secure password <authentication> <!-- Sources log in with username 'source' --> <source-password>hackme</source-password> <!-- Relays log in with username 'relay' --> <relay-password>hackme</relay-password> <!-- Admin logs in with the username given below --> <admin-user>admin</admin-user> <admin-password>hackme</admin-password> </authentication> <!-- In my case, this is the IP address of the Raspberry Pi --> <hostname>192.168.x.x</hostname> mountPoint = live # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server name = DarkIce Vinyl Stream # name of the stream description = This is my Vinyl stream # description of the stream url = http://localhost # URL related to the stream genre = Podca…
