Love it or hate it, Uber has helped transform many people's lives and the way they travel in urban areas. At its core, Uber is not a taxi company; it's a technology service, and one of its primary assets is user information. Uber recently closed a high-impact flaw in its platform that could potentially have put user information at risk. Although the vulnerability is interesting, so too is the means and method by which it was discovered in the first place. Although Uber is a technology company, it didn't discover the flaw on its own, but rather by way of a third- party researcher, participating in a bug bounty program. "Through the endpoint at /rt/users/passwordless-signup it is possible to change the password of any Uber user, given knowledge of their phone number (or by just enumerating phone numbers until one is found that is registered with Uber—not too hard given the number of Uber users)," the HackerOne bug report 143717 details show. Uber officially launched its bug bounty program as a public effort in March. The bug bounty program is run on the HackerOne platform, with the promise of a payout of up to $10,000 for critical issues. As it turns out, bug report 143717 is a very critical issue. The issue was first reported to Uber on June 8 by a security researcher identified only by the alias "Mongo. " Uber responded to Mongo's report the same day and made nearly immediate changes to fix the identified issue. On June 28, Uber rewarded Mongo with a $10,000 bug bounty for responsibly disclosing the 143717 issue. The threat addressed in the 143717 issue, however, didn't become public until July 14. This was a critical issue, and it looks like the flaw could have had significant impact on Uber's business and its clients. Uber itself (and again Uber is a software company) did not find this issue on its own, despite its significant engineering and security resources. Remember, Uber is where security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek now work. Miller and Valasek are the two researchers responsible for hacking a Jeep in 2015 that led to the recall of 1.4 million vehicles. So even a company like Uber, which employs two of the most well-known security researchers on Earth, did not find a critical vulnerability in its software on its own. "Uber runs an incredible competitive and transparent bug bounty program on HackerOne," Michiel Prins, co-founder, HackerOne, told eWEE K. "The security team at Uber utilizes a public bug bounty treasure map to guide hackers looking for vulnerabilities and they embrace public disclosure to help the security community at large. " When a more severe vulnerability is reported by a hacker and resolved by any security team, this is proof of the success and value of bug bounty programs, Prins added. The fact that Uber didn't find the flaw on its own is not necessarily a bad thing, but rather speaks to the incredible value and need for bug bounty programs. Simply put, there are almost always going to be more skilled security people outside a company than inside. By tapping into the broader security researcher community, any company, be it a software vendor or the U. S. Department of Defense, can get different viewpoints, and identify potentially previously unknown vulnerabilities. As for Uber security researchers Miller and Valasek, they too can potentially benefit from bug bounty programs. Fiat Chrysler America (FCA) recently launched its own bug bounty program on the Bugcrowd platform. In an interview with eWEEK at the time, Casey Ellis, CEO and founder of Bugcrowd, said that with the program, researchers like Miller and Valasek now have a platform to communicate flaws to FCA. The bottom line is that security researchers, wherever they might be, and for whomever they work, can and should be free to help improve security without being limited to their place of employment, and that's a promise that bug bounty platforms help enable.

What has the wingspan of an airliner and can fly on the power of roughly three hair dryers? The answer: Facebook's Aquila, a solar- powered, unmanned aircraft that will beam the Internet to remote parts of the world. On June 28, Aquila took its first flight, sitting on a type of trailer bed being pulled by a truck and finally disconnecting and elegantly lifting over a runway cutting through the vast, scraggly desert of Yuma, Ariz. "After two years of development, it was emotional to see Aquila actually get off the ground," CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared on Facebook July 21. "But as big as this milestone is," he continued, "we still have a lot of work to do. Eventually, our goal is to have a fleet of Aquilas flying together at 60,000 feet, communicating with each other with lasers and staying aloft for months at a time—something that's never been done before. " To accomplish that, Zuckerberg explained, Facebook's engineering team will need to address some challenges. These include reducing Aquila's weight (which is currently around 1,000 pounds); reducing the amount of energy required to keep Aquila cruising; reducing the load, which is largely made up of high-energy batteries; and improving Aquila's ability to transfer data. Goals for Aquila include enabling it to stay in the air for 90 consecutive days, serve Internet connectivity to a 60-mile diameter and transfer data more than 10 times faster than existing systems, using beams to "hit a dime more than 11 miles away while in motion," Zuckerberg wrote. In a separate test, Facebook engineers shared that the flight test, while planned for 30 minutes, lasted 96 minutes, while the team collected valuable data on aspects of the craft's performance, including its radios, aerodynamic handling, batteries, motors and structural viability. That first test was powered only by batteries and used 2,000 watts (the "three hair dryers" estimate is 5,000 watts); but the plan is eventually to include solar cells. Aquila will need to collect enough energy during daylight hours to stay aloft overnight—an act that, flying at a nighttime altitude of 60,000 feet, is expected to require those 5,000 watts.

  • Eric Chahi,Boxboy!
    C’era una volta ad…Hollywood – Analisi senza spoiler 1992-2019 Sono passati esattamente 27 anni dal folgorante esordio al cinema di questo talentuoso cineasta, quando con Reservoir Dogs (da noi banalizzato semplicemente in Le Iene) Quentin Tarantino è entrato di prepotenza nell’immaginario collettivo di milioni di persone. Una sceneggiatura praticamente senza sbavature, una regia matematicamente perfetta ed una conduzione degli attori impeccabile. Tarantino ha sempre sfoderato una sensibilità rispettosa verso certi canoni classici, ritraducendoli in chiave moderna o Pulp, come piace dire a certa critica. E di certo Lui non si tira indietro davanti a certe etichette preconfezionate, da buon amatore del cinema di genere, ed ecco che consegna il suo capolavoro stampando sulla copertina quello stesso termine che da lì in poi marchierà indelebilmente la sua dialettica: Pulp Fiction; appunto la finzione del cinema cosparso sopra la superficie di quella verità arida e a volte cruda che è la vita. Era il 1994, gli albori di quegli anni ’90 ormai disillusi e privi dello sfarzo tipico del decennio precedente. Si può tranquillamente affermare che il cinema di Tarantino è il ritratto sincero di quel periodo, insieme ad altri illustri colleghi come i fratelli Coen. Ma adesso siamo nel 2019, i tempi cambiano e la visione del mondo segue il corso degli eventi. C’è chi sostiene che il regista texano abbia sparato tutte le sue cartucce migliori, che non abbia più nulla da dire. Un artista fatto e finito, che ha compiuto totalmente il suo percorso e arranca nel disperato tentativo di non uscire dal circuito mediatico.

In The Silver Case, una serie di misteriosi omicidi seriali affliggono la città e gli investigatori dell’unità del reparto 24 dell’Heinous Crimes Unit hanno gli occhi puntati su un uomo: Kamui Uehara. Questo leggendario serial killer ha assassinato una serie di funzionari governativi 20 anni prima nell’ormai famoso “Caso Argentato”. Tuttavia, nessuno sa chi – o cosa – Kamui sia veramente. È davvero tornato? Chi è questo famigerato serial killer? The 25th Ward: The Silver Case si svolge cinque anni dopo gli eventi di “The Silver Case” del 1999, con un nuovo 25° reparto che è sorto nell’area della baia di Kanto. In una stanza del complesso di appartamenti “Bayside Tower Land”, una donna viene trovata morta in circostanze misteriose. Questo innesca una serie di eventi apparentemente casuali che coinvolgono diversi individui, tra cui il detective Morishima Tokio. Con tutti i punti di vista raccolti, emerge uno schema davvero scioccante… Caratteristiche principali di The Silver Case 2425: Salvezza surreale.

  • Gōichi Suda,Arriva in Occidente the 25Th Ward
    Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes “Non ci sono più gli eroi di una volta”, cantavano gliStranglers nell’ormai lontano 1977, quegli stessi eroi che hanno ispirato intere generazioni e alimentato fantasiose leggende tramandate di padre in figlio fino a diventare parte e sostanza di una storia alternativa forse più accessibile, ma non per questo priva di una profonda rete di significati e simboli che per certi versi risultano più tangibili di qualsiasi altra entità materiale. Tutto questo preambolo per dirvi che Travis Touchdown non è più l’uomo di una volta, appesantito dalla violenza perennemente costante nella sua vita. D’altro canto è un assassino, e nessuno di noi è chiamato a scegliere ciò che siamo: lo siamo e basta. Ed è per questo che l’unica maniera per rifugiarsi lontano dalla realtà a volte è quella di fuggire dalla stessa, magari viaggiando verso il Texas a bordo di un camper in compagnia dei nostri videogiochi preferiti. Ma il passato è duro a morire ed è inevitabile portarsi dietro qualche strascico, specialmente se sei un killer professionista. Così la quiete appena conquistata viene turbata dalla visita inaspettata diBadman , anche lui alla ricerca disperata di un lieto fine per i suoi tormenti. Portatore di un odio smisurato nei confronti del nostro Travis, reo di aver ucciso senza pietà la figlia Badgirl incontrata durante la sua prima scalata nell’olimpo degli assassini, Badman si ritrova suo malgrado ingarbugliato in una brutta faccenda: la console a cui Travis si diletta a giocare ai videogame è la terribileDeath Drive MK-II, una pericolosa arma di distruzione di massa in grado di trascinare i nostri eroi all’interno del software e rendere un incubo lisergico partorito dalla mente malsana di Suda 51 quello che fino a pochi attimi prima era un innocuo passatempo elettronico.
