SANDISK G3 SOLID STATE DRIVE

While other industry leaders are showing off their new ventures and inventions, SanDiskjoined the party by unveiling its new G3 series solid-state hard drives (SSD) designed particularly as drop-in replacements for conventional hard disk drives in netbooks and notebooks. The famous flash memory card maker promised that this so called world’s fastest multi-level cell SSDs are more reliable and more resilient besides running 5 times faster that the industry’s current HDD and double the speed of SSDs unveiled in 2008.

SanDisk’s new G3 series SSDs come in three different sizes: 60GB, 120GB and 240GB. The prices for each respective size are as follows: 60GB for $149, 120GB for $249 and 240GB for $499. This price range is on the high side compared to existing HDDs. However, these new technology drives are gaining popularity and increasingly being used as a storage device in laptops and other electronic devices due to their speed and reliability. Since there are no moving parts in them, the drives themselves are more rugged and consume less power.

“We think that this is a major inflection point,” said SanDisk chairman and CEO Eli Harari. “To date, solid state drives (SSDs) have been largely confined to low-capacity netbooks. But SanDisk’s G3 SSDs have enough capacity to be used in full-fledged notebooks as well — 60GB ($149), 120GB ($249) or 240GB ($499). At those prices, many of us will switch to solid state notebooks that boot in seconds”.

ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi Logger with Browser GPS + Heat Map Dashboard

This project is an ESP-IDF firmware for the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C6 that turns the board into a self-hosted, secure Wi-Fi scanning logger. It creates its own access point, serves a responsive HTTPS web UI, logs nearby Wi-Fi access points, optionally tags rows with GPS coordinates (provided by the client browser), and exposes battery status from the on-board LiPo input. The end result is a pocket Wi-Fi “survey” tool: scan, track, export logs as CSV, and generate a heat map view to visualize RSSI vs location. Project overview and feature set: :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} What it does AP + Station mode so the device can serve the dashboard while scanning nearby Wi-Fi networks. HTTPS web interface using a bundled certificate/key for local secure access. Single scan and continuous tracking modes. CSV export for analysis and archiving. Persistent logging to SPIFFS at /spiffs/logs.csv . Battery monitoring via ADC with voltage/percentage/status sh...

learn how to sniff wireless passwords with pirni

The thing about the iPod Touch and the iPhone is that they are great portable hacking devices. To the naked eye the iPod Touch/iPhone looks like nothing more than an ordinary mp3 player/cellphone however that is just an understatement to its full potential. Once your Ipod Touch/iPhone is jailbroken you have access to your whole file system meaning that applications generally associated with laptop/desktop hacking can be ported and used on the iPod Touch/iPhone. This opens up a whole lot of possibilities for network sniffing, port scanning and much much more! In this tutorial we are going to take a look at one of these programs called Pirni. What is Pirni? Pirni is an application that was ported to The Ipod Touch/iPhone to be used as a native network sniffer. Pirni is so useful because it gets past the iPod Touch’s/iPhone’s wifi hardware limitation of not being able to be set into promiscious mode (a mode that allows a network device to intercept and read each network packet that arrive...

Performance Monitoring

Performance Monitoring "System Accounting," teaches about the UNIX accounting system, and the tools that the accounting system provides. Some of these utilities and reports give you information about system utilization and performance. Some of these can be used when investigating performance problems. In this portion of the book, you will learn all about performance monitoring. There are a series of commands that enable system administrators, programmers, and users to examine each of the resources that a UNIX system uses. By examining these resources you can determine if the system is operating properly or poorly. More important than the commands themselves, you will also learn strategies and procedures that can be used to search for performance problems. Armed with both the commands and the overall methodologies with which to use them, you will understand the factors that are affecting system performance, and what can be done to optimize them so that the system performs...
