This document discusses IP addressing and how it uniquely identifies devices on the internet. It explains that while IPv4 addresses originally used 32-bit numbers to uniquely identify over 4 billion devices, the number of internet-connected devices has now surpassed the available IPv4 addresses. As a result, Network Address Translation (NAT) is commonly used to map multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address. The document also introduces IPv6, which uses 128-bit addresses to uniquely identify far more than the number of existing and expected internet-connected devices. It notes that while IPv6 adoption is growing, both IPv4 and IPv6 are still in use, and conversion or tunneling tools are needed for compatibility between the different IP versions.

A data logger (also data logger or data recorder) is an electronic device that records data
over time or in relation to location either with a built in instrument or sensor or via external
instruments and sensors. Increasingly, but not entirely, they are based on a digital processor (or
computer). They generally are small, battery powered, portable, and equipped with a
microprocessor, internal memory for data storage, and sensors. Some data loggers interface with
a personal computer and utilize software to activate the data logger and view and analyze the
collected data, while others have a local interface device (keypad, LCD) and can be used as a
stand-alone device.
Data loggers vary between general purpose types for a range of measurement applications
to very specific devices for measuring in one environment or application type only. It is common
for general purpose types to be programmable; however, many remain as static machines with
only a limited number or no changeable parameters. Electronic data loggers have replaced chart
recorders in many applications.
Technology is constantly changing. New microcontrollers become available every year. The one thing that has stayed the same is the C programming language used to program these microcontrollers. If you would like to learn this standard language to program microcontrollers, then this book is for you!

44CON 2014 - Stupid PCIe Tricks, Joe Fitzpatrick44CON
Joe FitzPatrick gave a presentation on exploiting PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) buses for hardware attacks. He discussed using DMA (direct memory access) over PCIe to read and write system memory, modify firmware, and potentially bypass mitigations like IOMMU (input-output memory management unit). FitzPatrick demonstrated proof-of-concept attacks on Macs and Windows PCs using custom PCIe devices and software. However, he noted that fully bypassing protections like VT-d on Macbooks had not yet been achieved and more work is needed to build attacks without imitating a genuine device.
"The classic spy movie hacking sequence: The spy inserts a magic smartcard provided by the agency technicians into the enemy's computer, ...the screen unlocks... What we all laughed about is possible!
Smartcards are secure and trustworthy. This is the idea smartcard driver developers have in mind when developing drivers and smartcard software. The work presented in this talk not only challenges, but crushes this assumption by attacking smartcard drivers using malicious smartcards.
A fuzzing framework for *nix and Windows is presented along with some interesting bugs found by auditing and fuzzing smartcard drivers and middleware. Among them classic stack and heap buffer overflows, double frees, but also a replay attack against smartcard authentication.
Since smartcards are used in the authentication process, a lot of vulnerabilities can be triggered by an unauthenticated user, in code running with high privileges. During the authors research, bugs were discovered in OpenSC (EPass, PIV, OpenPGP, CAC, Cryptoflex,...), YubiKey drivers, pam_p11, pam_pkc11, Apple smartcardservices..."

Klessydra t - designing vector coprocessors for multi-threaded edge-computing...RISC-V International
The document describes a proposed Klessydra-T1 vector coprocessor architecture designed for multi-threaded edge computing cores. It achieves a 3x speedup over a baseline core through configurable SIMD and MIMD vector acceleration schemes. Benchmark results show cycle count reductions for workloads like convolution and matrix multiplication when using the coprocessor in various SISD, SIMD, and MIMD configurations. Resource utilization and maximum frequency are also analyzed.

35. Hardware Problems
• Different user programs (and supervisor) may interfere
with each other
• Input-output equipement may be initiated by a user and
read words in on another user program
• Time sharing supervisor must be able to interrupt user
program after a quantum of computation
• Large core memories (e.g.. a million words) would ease
the system programming complications immensely
since the different active user programs, systems
programs could remain in core memory at all times.

37. Programming Problems
• Supervisor should charge user usage
accounting automatically
• Supervisor should coordinate all user
input-output
• Good system programs tooling
38. Usage Problems
• Too large a computation or excessive
typewriter output may be requested
• Since real time is not usage-time,
supervisor must inform user
• Computer malfuntions must be expected
