BGP Route Leak prevention and detection with the help of the RFC9234

Qrator Labs corporate blog Information Security *Network technologies *Network standards *

All the credit is due to the RFC’s authors: A. Azimov (Qrator Labs & Yandex), E. Bogomazov (Qrator Labs), R. Bush (IIJ & Arrcus), K. Patel (Arrcus), K. Sriram.

A BGP route leak is an unintentional propagation of BGP prefixes beyond the intended scope that could result in a redirection of traffic through an unintended path that may enable eavesdropping or traffic analysis, and may or may not result in an overload or complete drop (black hole) of the traffic. Route leaks can be accidental or malicious but most often arise from accidental misconfigurations.

Exploring the Capabilities and Implications of ChatGPT 3 in the Educational Technology Field

Artificial Intelligence
Sandbox

From language translation and virtual assistants to self-driving cars and personalized recommendations, AI has been a buzzword for a while now, but it seems that it is only now with the new ChatGPT 3 being released to the public that it is so close to revolutionizing the educational technology field as well. In this article, I would like to give my first impressions, test results, and insights on the new technology.

ChatGPT is a chatbot by OpenAI that can write texts, code, answer questions, and solve various problems. It can even write college essays that, although lacking heart and personal touch, are still pretty good.

It somehow reminds me of the times when distance learning started captivating different fields and what started as a tool for kids with special needs (about 15 years ago, it was a major theme in pedagogical universities, at least) turned into massive online open courses from top universities available to anyone with access to the internet. In corporate learning culture, it went from "e-learning is a cheap and less effective replacement for offline trainings" to being a part of a complicated educational system where we can have the best qualities of offline and online learning for employees.

Right away, serious discussions emerged on the threats to the usage of ChatGPT. Since the beginning of December, many educators have been giving their opinion on its ability to write essays, code, and find correct answers for tests and on the studying culture that will probably need to change.

Creating UITableView with a dynamic header

Xcode *Swift *
Tutorial

Hello there! Recently, I had very cool experience at my work. I needed to set tableView with a dynamic header. The information in the header was complete in the initial state, and when the user was scrolling the table, some part in the header was smoothly hiding and the main part remained on the top. Cool, right?

Make first deb-src package by example cri-o

Configuring Linux *Open source **nix *Development for Linux *
Tutorial


Overview


Once every true-linux engineer gets a trouble: there is no any software in his distro or it's built without needed options. I am keen on the phrase: "Only source control gives you freedom".


Of course, you can build this software on your computer without any src-packages, directly (with simplification: configure, make, make install). But it's a non-reproducible solution, also hard for distribution.


The better way is to make distro-aligned package that can be built if needed and that produces lightly distributed binary-packages. It's about debian-source packages(debian,ubuntu,etc), pkgbuild (for arch), ebuild for gentoo, src-rpm for red hat-based, and many others.


I will use cri-o like a specimen.


Before reading the text below I strongly recommend to get familiarized with the official Debian policy manual placed here and debhelper manpage.


Also you will be required to setup some variables like DEBMAIL and DEBFULLNAME for proper data in changelog and other places.

Codepast people – programmers’ sunset

Programming *Science fiction
Translation

— Glitchy couch! — Anton exclaimed, yet another time crushing down his fingers by heavy coach he and Sergey were pulling for 14 storeys already.
— ‘Glitchy’? — Sergey asked — have you been coder in the past too?
They’ve been working almost a week together, but Sergey would have never suspected he was coder in the past. Lean and muscular Anton did not look the part at all.
— I had to in my student years, — Anton answered, abashed.
— Relax! One of us. Layout, three years and JS for every browser out there, — Sergey perked up, pushed the couch and pressed it a bit forcefully on Anton.

Traffic sign recognition using CNN

Machine learning *
Sandbox

During the last years, one of the modern directions of technology development is computer vision. The main task of this direction is the classification of objects from a photo or video camera. In usual problems, it is solved using case-based machine learning methods. This work presents the application of computer vision for traffic sign recognition using machine learning algorithm. A road sign is a flat artificial object with a fixed appearance. There are two applied problems in which road sign recognition algorithms are used. The first task is to control an autonomous vehicle. Self-driving cars are cars that can drive on roads without a driver. A key component of an unmanned vehicle control system is object recognition. Objects of interest are primarily pedestrians, other vehicles, traffic lights and road signs.

Traffic signs are a fundamental portion of our day to day lives. They contain critical information that ensures the safety of all the people around us. A road sign is a flat artificial object with a fixed appearance. There are two applied problems in which road sign recognition algorithms are used. The first task is to control an autonomous vehicle. Self-driving cars are cars that can drive on roads without a driver. A key component of an unmanned vehicle control system is object recognition. Objects of interest are primarily pedestrians, other vehicles, traffic lights and road signs. The second task that uses traffic sign recognition is automatic mapping based on data from DVRs installed on cars. The task is relevant, because currently, compiling and maintaining detailed roadmaps requires either significant financial costs or a large amount of human time.

How to exchange a secret key over an insecure network (EC-Diffie-Hellman algorithm)

Information Security *Cryptography *Programming *

Let’s say you want to send an encrypted message to your friend in order to avoid it being intercepted and read by a third party. You generate a random secret key and encrypt the message with it. Let’s say you use AES. But how do you let your friend know the key to decrypt it?

In this article, we will explore how the Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman algorithm works under the hood. The article includes the implementation of this algorithm from scratch, written in Python.

Anonymity and Authenticity

Decentralized networks *Information Security *Cryptography *

The following text consists of two logically connected parts. The first part constructively rules out the assumption that untraceability supposes anonymity. The second part enumerates specific practical tasks in the form of various scenarios when digital signatures (DS) do not provide correct solutions to the task. It is demonstrated that a complete solution can be obtained through a special combination of DS and an interactive anonymous identification protocol.
