至于战争猫咪,Bransfield将包装设备放在动物上的衣领上,包括运营spark运行操作系统的火花核心wifi开发板,它能够给猫咪带来它需要的连通性。它的被跟踪的地点使用了GPS技术,数据就在SD记忆卡上。
什么数据?这个项目的一点就是战争猫咪溜大街,检测没有被保护的wifi网络,或者使用像WEP一样的弱的加密算法。在某个徘徊处,猫咪收集了23个独特的wifi热点,其中的四个是完全公开的,并不需要密码去登录,并且另外四个使用了WEP而不是更安全的WPA-2标准。
Bransfield告诉卫报这个项目试图激起为什么人们应该需要做更多的护理以使它们的wifi网络更加的安全,希望在这场战争中牵涉的猫咪会使对高科技娴熟的人们引发关注。(欲浏览更多信息,请关注中国进出口网)
The intersection of animals and technology is about more than cat videos on YouTube and the Doge meme. This year’s Def Con hacking convention in Las Vegas showcased a pair of projects mixing pets with computer security.
War Kitteh and Denial of Service Dog were both the work of Gene Bransfield, from Tenacity Solutions, and involved attaching antennae and mini-computers to one friend’s cat and another’s dog.
For War Kitteh, Bransfield packed the kit onto the animal’s collar, including a Spark Core Wi-Fi development board running the Spark.io operating system, which gave the cat the connectivity it required. Its location was tracked using GPS technology, with data stored on an SD memory card.
What data? The point of the project was for War Kitteh to roam the streets, detecting Wi-Fi networks that were either unprotected, or using weak weak encryption algorithms like WEP.
On one wander, the cat picked up 23 unique Wi-Fi hotspots, four of which were completely open with no password required to log on, and another four using WEP rather than the more-secure WPA-2 standard.
Bransfield told the Guardian that the project was intended to spark awareness about why people should take more care securing their Wi-Fi networks, in the hope that involving cats in the debate will make less tech-savvy people pay attention.
