Investigative Training at Koyal Group: Labour calls for new cyber-crime powers

danielschweize 10 years ago 0
Eandt.Theiet.org
Labour wants new powers that allow security services to crack down on cyber-crimes, but only with extra checks on how sensitive data is used.

A 30 per cent hike in recorded online fraud is just the "tip of the iceberg", shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper will warn, but fears about abuse of information by British intelligence agency GCHQ in the wake of leaks by ex-US security contractor Edward Snowden means new safeguards are needed to protect privacy.

Last year controversial plans by Home Secretary Theresa May to enable the police and security services to track emails and other online communications under what was labelled a "snooper's charter" were blocked by the Liberal Democrats.

Cooper will warn the government it must not "bury its head in the sand" as she calls for reforms to keep up with the ever-changing cyber world, saying much stricter controls over access to private data must be introduced to give the public confidence amid fears about the way information can currently be accessed and used.

Today, in a speech in central London to the Demos think tank, Cooper will call for a new national strategy for tackling online fraud, tougher action to tackle online child pornography and an overhaul of parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee, which keeps a check on the work of the intelligence agencies.

She is expected to say: "In the face of growing online crime and abuse, and the use of online communications by criminals and extremists, the police, intelligence and security agencies need to be able to operate more effectively in this digital world. But for them to do so, we also need stronger safeguards and limits to protect our privacy and sustain confidence in their vital work.

"The oversight and legal frameworks are now out of date. That means we need major reforms to oversight and a thorough review of the legal framework to keep up with changing technology. And there are difficult wider challenges about privacy, data and the private sector, and how we protect British citizens' interests in a global Internet where everyone follows different rules.

"Above all we need the government to engage in a serious public debate about these new challenges and the reforms that are needed. Online communication and technology is forcing us to think again about our traditional frameworks for balancing privacy and safety, liberty and security.

“The government can't keep burying its head in the sand and hoping these issues will go away – they are too important for that, for our liberty, our security, the growth of our economy and the health of our democracy."

Cooper will highlight the growth in online child abuse as one of the most disturbing developments. Last year the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Agency received 18,887 reports of child abuse – an increase of 14 per cent on the year.

But according to Christian Berg, CEO of NetClean, a company that works with police, Internet service providers and private companies to prevent the exchange of child sexual abuse material, tough words are not enough to tackle the problem.

“Today’s cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and their crimes are more complex to investigate,” he said. “The widespread use of smartphones and digital cameras means that police must process a mass of visual evidence as well as written or numerical data. Existing forensic tools aren’t designed to deal with this.

"Police and intelligence services can’t act tougher without the right tools to help them do so. Cyber crime investigations today require police to process terabytes of data comprising millions of individual files. They can't do this effectively with manpower alone.

“It’s definitely possible to take a tougher approach without infringing on privacy. Illegal content can be identified without either a human or a computer having to ‘look’ at it.

“Every image or video leaves a digital fingerprint behind, and by tracking those that are known to be illegal police can spot new occurrences without searching through other content. We’ve got to be smart to tackle cyber crime – talking tough won’t cut it."

Bug with auto_indent and inserting snippets

Roman Komarov 11 years ago updated 11 years ago 1

Here is a complex bug I stumbled upon: when you recreate an indent by yourself (adding a new line, erasing inserted indent, adding your desired indent) and then insert a snippet with a newline at the end, then if there is no tabstops, then the indent is added ok, but when there are tabstops before newline, then the auto_indent is not created. And fun thing: that happens only when `auto_indent` option is enabled, if you'd disable it, there would be an automatic indent for snippet, but the bug won't be there.

Well, that's complex, but here is an example code that reproduces the problem and what you could run through ST's console:

edit = view.begin_edit("lol");view.run_command('insert', {"characters": "\n"});view.erase(edit, sublime.Region(view.line(view.sel()[0]).a, view.sel()[0].a));view.run_command('insert', {"characters": "    "});view.run_command("insert_snippet", {"contents" : "snippet: $1foo\n"});view.end_edit(edit)

Or if expanded:

edit = view.begin_edit("lol")
view.run_command('insert', {"characters": "\n"})
view.erase(edit, sublime.Region(view.line(view.sel()[0]).a, view.sel()[0].a))
view.run_command('insert', {"characters": "    "})
view.run_command("insert_snippet", {"contents" : "snippet: $1foo\n"})
view.end_edit(edit)

If you'd run it somewhere with an indent, the indent would be created at the end of the snippet when you'd `tab` to the ending tabstop. But if you'd remove the `$1` or set `"auto_indent": false`, then it would magically work.

Regular Expression Engine research

Michiel Eghuizen 11 years ago 0

Isn't there a good possibility to replace the regular expression engine with a faster one? I guess you use "re" from python, but there are faster ones.


Find/replace on large files is rather slow and could crash. For example:

a file of 1.000.000 rows with empty lines, replace "^\n" with "" (without the quotes), to remove the empty lines. This will take a while or crash.


This is because the "re" uses backtracking, which could be rather slow. But there are also regular expression engines which use finite state machine (FSA). You can see this page for more information: http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html


Possible options could be (but not limited to):

Seeing the benchmarks on the internet, it could make a lot of difference.

Creating a 'climate change garden'

jaden allenie 10 years ago 0

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-27/creating-a-climate-change-garden/5119178


That's why Doug Rawlinson from Goulburn, in south-east New South Wales, has created a garden with a difference.


He calls it his "climate change garden".


"I've been in the horticulture industry for many many years and I've looked at the changes and as far as climate change goes, no one can really know what's going to happen," he said.


"Except I can definitely say there's extremes now."


The southern tablelands of New South Wales can be cold and windy, with very hot days in summer.


Mr Rawlinson says he's creating a garden that can cope with more extreme changes.


"There are about 20 raised vegetable beds, an orchard with about 25 different fruit trees, an experimental warm room with avocadoes and pineapples and about 30 different vines, including blueberries and boysenberries," he said.

Shade is an important part of the garden.


"In the centre of all my beds I've got independent, 75 litre planter bags with weeping cherry trees in them and that's going to give me the shade I need in summer because I've found in the past that most of my vegies have been crispy," he said.


"They've had wet root systems, (been) mulched nicely and the fruit on top is just baking in the sun, so shade is a very important part of a new climate garden system.

GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGY MOVES LOCKHEED MARTIN INTO WASTE TO ENERGY

bhentyan 11 years ago 0

http://jerichoeholmes.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/gasification-technology-moves-lockheed-martin-into-waste-to-energy/


U.S. defense contractor, Lockheed Martin is moving into the waste to fuel gasification technology business, following a deal with LA based waste to fuels specialist, Concord Blue.


According to Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) it will provide its engineering, program management, procurement, manufacturing and integration experience to apply Concord Blue's patented technology globally in the expanding waste to energy arena.


Gasification Technology Moves Lockheed Martin into Waste to Energy The defense giant said that advanced waste conversion is an emerging technology that uses gasification processes to convert waste products to electricity, heat and synthetic fuels.


Concord Blue has developed a closed-loop process that Lockheed Martin said is already commercially-proven to recycle waste into energy at virtually any scale.

For Lockheed’s part, it said that it brings high-level capabilities in complex systems integration, project management, information technology and advanced manufacturing techniques partnership.

"This agreement enables Lockheed Martin to combine our proven ability to meet complex project requirements and access to a broader, global market with Concord Blue's demonstrated technology, experience and global facilities," explained Paul Klammer, director of bio energy programs at Lockheed Martin's Mission Systems and Training business.

According to Klammer, Concord Blue's feedstock flexible technology combined with its ability to scale for smaller applications will enable the partners to waste disposal solutions for a range of situations, including those of industrial customers.

Tab trees

whee 12 years ago updated by chaiguy 12 years ago 1
I may be missing something obvious, but I haven't found a good way to manage having many files open related to the same project. The tab bar gets cluttered very quickly and the side bar takes up too much space. Having more than one window isn't ideal either.

It'd be nice if you could group tabs with another, user-named, tab. These would be stacked such that the tab bar is two (or more) rows high, forming a sort of tree. You'd be able to build up a view of the part of the project you're working on and organize components as they relate to what you're doing (instead of the side bar directory view, since the directory structure may not mimic your current mental hierarchy)

Online publication Deep Blue Group Planning Guide: Are you afraid to invest? Here's an eight-step guide to take charge of your finances

rnmillig4n 10 years ago 0
Take charge of your finances with this eight-step guide by Deepali Sen, a consultant at Winvestor, DSP Blackrock's investor education initiative

dnaIndia.com
According to a Neilson study sponsored by DSP Blackrock, 77% of working Indian women do not take their own investment decisions, primarily because they are afraid to take risks. You worked hard for it, you saved it; are you ready to learn how to make it work for you? Presenting baby steps to making good investments.

Find a Reason to Invest
Even if you save every rupee you earn today, its value after 10, 20 or 30 years, is not going to be able to buy you the lifestyle you lead today, simply because inflation raises prices, on an average between 7.5% to 8.5% per year (the last 10 years CPI shows an average 8.2% rise).

Take Stock
Get all your investments together—from bank statements, fixed deposits and real estate, to insurance, stocks, bonds and gold. Make a list of your liabilities (loans, credit card outstandings...); What are your post-tax inflows from salary/ professional/ rental/ dividend income?; What are your outgoings (groceries, annual maintenance contacts, mediclaim premiums, entertainment expenses...)? Note down what doesn't make sense; you can either do your own research or get an expert to answer your queries. If nothing more, atleast you now know your net worth.

Stay Reasonably Liquid
Keep three to four months worth of outgoings liquid to deal with contingencies.

Tag Goals to Assets
Identifying goals and tagging investments to them, make goals more tangible. This will also indicate whether or not you need to make additional investments. Tag short-term assets to short-term goals and long-term assets to long-term goals. If you are getting married in six months, equity is not a great idea. On the other hand, if you want to buy a house in seven years, equity is your best bet.

DSP Money Manager, HDFC Cash Managment Fund and ICICI Prudential Savings Fund are good options for parking contingency funds; while HDFC Top 200, DSP Top 100 and ICICI Focused Bluechip could help you meet future goals.

Insure Yourself
Your insurance should be high enough to take care of your debts (car/housing/education loans) and your future responsibilities (children's education, parents' medical bills...). The greater your existing savings/assets, the lower your insurance needs—your savings could be used to cater to some of your family's future requirements. Do not attempt to bundle insurance and investments; your premiums will be much higher for a relatively lower benefit.

Invest
The only way to learn how to swim is to get into the water. The same holds true for investing. An investment ratio of 80:20 (equity: fixed income) prescribed for a 20-year-old just starting to earn, should gradually change to 50:50, the nearer you are to retirement.

Read, Research, Get Help
From news channels and blogs that offer case studies to websites and financial advisors that customise investment plans for you, there's no dearth of professional resources at your disposal. Understanding how things work will also ensure that you won't be taken for a ride. If something's not working for you, you can always walk away. But if you don't take that first step, you'll stay exactly where you are.

Make a Will
Yes, even if you are barely 20, and have no more than a few thousand to your name. The day you start earning is the day someone stands to inherit. In fact, you should do this, even before you start investing.

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN AN ADVISOR?
Aditi Kothari, Executive Vice President, DSP BlackRock and founder of Winvestor, offers some sage advice on choosing a financial advisor

1. Ensure that your advisor listens to you and presents different options to suit your needs, as opposed to pushing you to buy specific products without considering your financial situation and your goals.

2. Your financial advisor needs to be realistic and explain all the risks of the products he or she is advising you to buy. If he or she is guaranteeing returns especially in the equity markets, please be cautious.

3. Make sure your advisor answers your questions in as much detail as you require. Ask all the questions that you need to, however basic they may seem, so that you are confident about your investment decisions.

4. Trust your intuition. If your gut tells you something is not right, get a second opinion. There are many advisors out there. It is wise to do a reference check or to be referred to an advisor by a trusted source.
