60 Facebook Engineers Are Working On How To Read Your Mind And Type Using Brain

Facebook’s developer conference F8 is known to show off company’s upcoming products and research work. Yesterday, in his F8 keynote, Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook’s foray into Augmented Reality with its camera platform. It was followed by an exciting announcement from Facebook’s mysterious Building 8 (B8).

Facebook started its Building 8 team to create futuristic gadgets. On Wednesday, the company revealed the details of two of the six projects that are underway. Regina Dugan, the head of Building 8, explained that a team of 60 engineers is working to build a brain-computer interface.

Dugan has previously headed Google’s similar Advanced Technology and Projects Group; she was also the director of the Pentagon’s DARPA research agency.

This interface will let you type with just your mind without the use of any implants. By using advanced techniques like optical imaging that scan your brain a hundred times per second, this interface will detect what you’re speaking in your head and convert it into text.

Dugan calls it a “silent speech interface” with the convenience of voice and privacy of text.

She shared Facebook’s goal regarding the same. Over the next two years, B8 aims to build systems that will enable you to type at 100 words per minute using mind, which is 5-times faster than typing on the phone.

In her presentation, Dugan showed a video of paralyzed medical patient at Stanford. Using a sensor, the patient was able to type.

Facebook also showed off its progress on a way for humans to hear using the skin. This technology could help deaf people hear. In the demonstration, a Facebook team was shown experimenting with skin hearing using actuators tuned to 16 frequency bands. The test subject developed a vocabulary of 9 words they could listen through the skin.

Today I’m gonna tell you. HOW TO HACK WIFI WPS PIN. Kali Linux can be used for many things, but it probably is best known for its ability to penetration test, or hack wifi wps pin . There are hundreds of Windows applications that claim they can hack WPA , don’t get them! They’re just scams, used by professional hackers, to lure newbie or wannabe hackers into getting hacked themselves. Warning..!! WIFI hacking is illegal. “This tutorial is only for educational purposes. I am not responsible for any consequences.” Hack WIFI WPS PIN using reaver method. So lets Start Cracking Step 1:  Open Terminal and Find out the name of your wireless adapter. , type ifconfig on a terminal. See the result. (here my wireless adapter is ‘wlan0’).  Step 2:  Enable Monitor mode. Now, we use a tool called airmon-ng to create a virtual interface called mon. Just type. airmon-ng start wlan0 Step 3:  Type the following commands on terminal. airmon-ng check kill Step 4 :   To find WPS networks ,we'll

World’s Fastest Camera Takes 5 Trillion Photos Per Second, Can Pause Moving Light

Image
High-speed cameras taking 100,000 pictures in one second are enough to fascinate us. But what about a camera that can film at a rate of 5 trillion images per second. It’s created by the researchers Elias Kristensson and Andreas Ehn at the Lund University in Sweden. The camera can make light slow enough that it could be analyzed by humans. In other words, it can be used to record events happening in the 0.2 trillionths of a second. In 2011, a similar camera device was created by the MIT Media Lab. But it was slower and capable of capturing 1 trillion images per second. The researchers demonstrated the camera by filming photons of light traveling a distance equivalent to the thickness of a paper. The trillion camera works in a different way in comparison to the normal high-speed cameras.

Performs some of the most famous MITM attack on target addresses located in a local network. Among these, deny navigation and download capabilities of a target host in the local network performing an ARP poison attack and sending reset TCP packets to every request made to the router. Born as a didactic project for learning python language, I decline every responsibility for any abuse, including malevolent or illegal use of this code. Installation  1 2 3 $ git clone https : //github.com/codepr/creak.git $ cd creak $ python setup . py install or simply clone the repository and run the creak.py after all requirements are installed: 1 $ git clone https : //github.com/codepr/creak.git It is required to have installed pcap libraries for raw packet manipulations and dpkt module, for dns spoofing options is required to have installed dnet module from libdnet package, do not confuse it with pydnet (network evaluation tool) module. It can use also scapy if desired, can just be set in the c
