The Complete Blog On Technology

Chris Paget (a hacker) and computer security researcher created a device that can spy on and even record some cell phone calls. This interceptor, costing only $1,500, cleverly portrayed the weaknesses of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) last week in Las Vegas, at the world’s largest annual hacker convention.

With this device Paget could spy on dozens of calls made by other hackers present in the room. Paget’s main objective was to prove that how numerous criminals, terrorists and other anti-social elements can use this same technology to intercept confidential calls that can harm the security of various nations. He also wanted to show the world a few options that consumers can use to protect themselves from these attacks. This remarkable gadget works by creating a cell phone base station that tricks cell phones into routing their outbound calls through his device, allowing it to encrypt the whole conversation.

This device can also be very useful for security agents, private investigating firms and crime cells as well who can catch criminals faster and maybe also prevent future attacks and acts of terrorism. This cheaply priced device mimics more expensive devices (called IMSI catchers) that are already being used by intelligent and law enforcement agencies.
Paget’s device captures only 2G GSM calls, making AT&T and T mobile calls that use only GSM, susceptible to interception.

Airpod – Car runs on compressed air

Posted by admin On August - 4 - 2010

The founder and CEO of Motor Development International (MDI SA) Guy Negre, based in Luxembourg, has invented a compressed air technology for cars. This former aeronautics and formula one engineer has invented this small mini four wheeler ‘Airpod’, that uses compressed air to move pistons in a 5.45 hp internal combustion engine. It has a range of 60 miles on a single tank of air and uses a small motor to compress outside air to keep the tank full.

With the demand for user friendly, inexpensive vehicles that have zero emission and is therefore very environmental friendly, this little wonder is grabbing  a lot of attention. The compressor can operate on gasoline, diesel, ethanol, bio diesel and even vegetable oil.

Though in the first glance the Airpod looks something out of a science fiction movie, it can prove to be very promising as far as savings in fuel consumption is concerned, and of course can help save our earth from global warming. MDI has already licensed its latest technology to Indian car makers Tata Motors.

The Airpod measures 81.5 inches in length, 63 inches wide and 68.5 inches tall and is very much for real.

Air Force’s Super-Secret Space Plane Launches

Posted by Isha Farhad On April - 26 - 2010

Space_PlaneThe Air Force’s Mysterious unmanned X-37B space plane hitching a ride on an Atlas V rocket on 22nd April. Nobody knows when it is coming back or what its mission is.

About the X-37B, the rumors have been building for a few years now, ever since this project came under the auspices of the Department of Defense and it became classified in 2004.

Will it be weaponized? Is it for intelligence gathering? or is it nothing more than orbital delivery truck? From the Air Force’s official description of the program:

“A flexible space test platform to conduct several experiments and allow satellite sensors, components, subsystems and associated technology to be transported efficiently to and from the space environment. The service directly supports the Defense Department’s technology risk-reduction efforts for some new satellite systems. It will prove new components and technology before those technologies are committed to operational satellite programs by providing an ‘on-orbit laboratory’ test environment.”

The X37B is co-developed by Boeing and is just 29 feet long and it can stay in orbit for up to nine months.

For now, the main ambition seems to be if the Air Force can successfully retrieve it in good condition to re-use.
