I am considering using a pi to serve my HP LJ-2200 printer to my home network.\r\n\r\nThe DEC LN03 uses RS-232/RS-422 for the serial connection. You should be able to use a USB-to-serial converter. I used an LN03 with PC clones and was able to run the serial link as fast as 19200 baud. User manual will indicate how to set serial parameters via dip switches near the data connector.\r\n\r\nI suggest verifying the print engine still works by printing a few test pages before trying to connect to a computer. I think there is a small square white button on the back that initiates printing of a test page.\r\n\r\nIt is probably difficult now to get toner or replacement parts like feed rollers for the LN03. When a nylon gear inside my LN03 fractured, I finally ditched that printer -- after about 20 years of use in a home office.\r\n\r\nBe aware that there are a few different LN03 models. Mine was a rare \"image\" printer that would only accept postscript. The model will determine what driver and settings you need to use.\r\n\r\nThe LN03 always keeps the fuser unit hot. This is a big power consumer and harsh to the mechanics that transport paper and the photo-sensitive band.\r\n\r\nThere used to be USB to parallel converters available for purchase. If you can find one of those you might be able to easily connect to the matrix printer.\r\n\r\n- Bob Evans','2017-09-09 07:41:27'), (1305,1864,'2015-10-07 19:16:01','Dave Morriss','Re: connecting to legacy printers','Thanks for the information Bob.\r\n\r\nI haven\'t checked the LN03 works yet, and it might not since it\'s so old.

One of the best accessibility features of ebook formats and ebook readers is the user\'s option to change font size. When you\'re getting older like me and you typically increase the font sizes, you find that tables rarely survive the change unless you\'re on a big screen like a tablet.

1 Brief introduction

\r\n

1.1 Myself

\r\n

Hi, I\'m Brian in Ohio

\r\n

1.2 Inspiration for show

\r\n

I heard Shane Shennan on episode 2299 doing a what\'s in my bag episode where he briefly mentions using a bullet journal. Then I think I heard Ken Fallon wondering about bullet journals on community news for the month with that episode. So I thought a show was in order explaining how I went from using a bullet journal to using emacs org mode.

\r\n

1.3 Parameters

\r\n

I\'m not an expert on any of the following topics: bullet journal, Getting things done (GTD), orgmode or emacs. I\'m someone who has tried these tools, climbed the learning curve and have some observations to make through that process.

\r\n

2 What\'s a bullet journal

\r\n

2.1 Created by ryder carrol

\r\n

The analog system for the digital age

\r\n

2.2 Where I found out about it

\r\n

https://www.relay.fm/penaddict/70

\r\n

2.3 What it is

\r\n

Method of laying out a notebook and using it to organize and process ideas and tasks. I won\'t try to explain exactly how it is set up. The video tutorial https://bulletjournal.com/ is excellent. You can use any notebook and divide it up into index pages, future log, monthly log and daily log there\'s a visual indexing/ tagging system to help organize stuff. Its extremely customizable.

\r\n

2.4 How I used it

\r\n

I bullet journaled for 2 and a half years, initially set it up stock but later put the index at the back. I used it as a daily planner, idea storing device and short term and long term goal setting tool.

\r\n

2.5 Strengths

\r\n

Customizable but within framework, gives a method to get organized that you can tailor to your needs. Its pretty easy to find needed info, if you\'re diciplined about using. It its battery free

\r\n

2.6 Shortcomings

\r\n

Need to be disciplined. Can be tedious to enter items in month, daily and index sections. It takes time to set up. I think Shane\'s use case he mentioned in podcast as sort of a project/idea book sounds pretty cool and might be a really good use case for this system. Hard to edit, this may be a strength for some people, but for me as a daily planner it was a little daunting to use. Adding stuff to something requires either leaving space ahead of time or indexing to a new page. The monthly log was always a mystery to me on how to use it. If you lose it you\'ve lost it, no easy way to back it up

\r\n

3 What is org mode

\r\n

3.1 Created by Carsten Dominik

\r\n\r\n

3.2 what it is

\r\n

Is an editing and organizing mode for notes, planning, and authoring in the free software text editor Emacs.

\r\n

3.3 How I found out about it

\r\n

3.3.1 emacs

\r\n
3.3.1.1 Wanted a commandline C development environment for microcontroller project development
\r\n
3.3.1.2 IDE
\r\n

Worked with vim/ a bash shell as a sort of minimal IDE. I specifically was using it on a laptop that didn\'t have X installed on it. Just for fun, not my bread and butter.

\r\n
3.3.1.3 Wanted to try something new
\r\n

Knew about emacs, had tried it didn\'t like it

\r\n
3.3.1.4 Thanks to klaatu for emacs hpr emacs episodes
\r\n\r\n
3.3.1.5 Thanks to youtube found out about org mode
\r\n

Rainer Konig - getting yourself organized with org-mode
\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfbGTpcJyEOMwKP-eYz3_fg

\r\n

3.3.2 Switched in october 2016

\r\n

3.4 How I use it

\r\n

At its heart an org-mode is an outliner. I use org-mode to set up daily todo tasks, organize projects, jot down notes. Org-mode has a subsystem call agenda view that can generate daily planner views from your org-mode files. I initially tried to mimic the bullet journal in org-mode, but found that it was better to approach org mode relying on its strengths, which are different, as you can imagine, from a Bullet journal.

\r\n

3.5 Strengths

\r\n

I like it because its editable, searchable and customizable. Projects can be broken down into as fine a detail as you want and that detail level can expand or contract as necessary. The power of org-mode comes out when you use it to capturing ideas, tasks and information. Capturing these events is done via capture templates that you can create. This new data is then saved to the appropriate org file then shows up in your agenda view. Its extremely easy to back up, it\'s text based and therefore future proof. There are many good tutorials and resources online

\r\n

3.6 Shortcomings

\r\n

Need to know a little about emacs and that can feel overwhelming to try. This new tool will require you to use your brain. Emacs keybindings

\r\n

4 What\'s next

\r\n

Trying to find a good way to use orgmode portably. mobile-org app for android doesn\'t work for me. This has led to trying a couple of different solutions which I will record other hpr episodes about. Thanks for listening. If you have ideas on Bullet Journals or Org-mode I\'d love to hear an episode about it. I\'ll put links into the show notes, this is Brian in Ohio signing off.

OUR NEXT AUDIOBOOK

\r\n

Triplanetary by E. E. \"Doc\" Smith\r\n
https://librivox.org/triplanetary-first-in-the-lensman-series-by-e-e-doc-smith/

\r\n

OUR AUDIO

\r\n

This episode was processed using Audacity https://audacity.sourceforge.net/. We\'ve been making small adjustments to our audio mix each month in order to get the best possible sound. It\'s been especially challenging getting all of our voices relatively level, because everyone has their own unique setup. Mumble is great for bringing us all together, and for recording, but it\'s not good at making everyone\'s voice the same volume. We\'re pretty happy with the way this month\'s show turned out, so we\'d like to share our editing process and settings with you and our future selves (who, of course, will have forgotten all this by then).

\r\n

Mumble uses a sample rate of 48kHz, but HPR requires a sample rate of 44.1kHz so the first step in our audio process is to resample the file at 44.1kHz. Resampling can take a long time if you don\'t have a powerful computer, and sometimes even if you do. If you record late at night, like we do, you may want to start the task before you go to bed, and save it first thing in the morning, so that the file is ready to go the next time you are.

\r\n

Next we use the \"Compressor\" effect with the following settings:

\r\n \r\n

After compressing the audio we cut any pre-show and post-show chatter from the file and save them in a separate file for possible use as outtakes after the closing music.

\r\n

At this point we listen back to the whole file and we work on the shownotes. This is when we can cut out anything that needs to be cut, and we can also make sure that we put any links in the shownotes that were talked about during the recording of the show. We finish the shownotes before exporting the .aup file to .FLAC so that we can paste a copy of the shownotes into the audio file\'s metadata. We use the \"Truncate Silence\" effect with it\'s default settings to minimize the silence between people speaking. When used with its default (or at least reasonable) settings, Truncate Silence is extremely effective and satisfying. It makes everyone sound smarter, it makes the file shorter without destroying actual content, and it makes a conversations sound as easy and fluid during playback as it was while it was recorded. It can be even more effective if you can train yourself to remain silent instead of saying \"uuuuummmm.\" Just remember to ONLY pass the file through Truncate Silence ONCE. If you pass it through a second time, or if you set it too aggressively your audio may sound sped up and choppy.

\r\n

At this point we add new, empty audio tracks into which we paste the intro, outro and possibly outtakes, and we rename each track accordingly.

\r\n

We adjust the Gain so that the VU meter in Audacity hovers around -12db while people are speaking, and we try to keep the peaks under -6db, and we adjust the Gain on each of the new tracks so that all volumes are similar, and more importantly comfortable. Once this is done we can \"Mix and Render\" all of our tracks into a single track for export to the .FLAC file which is uploaded to the HPR FTP server.

\r\n

Remember to save often when using Audacity. We like to save after each of these steps. Audacity has a reputation for being \"crashy\" but if you remember save after every major transform, you will wonder how it ever got that reputation.

\r\n

Customizable but within framework, gives a method to get organized that you can tailor to your needs. Its pretty easy to find needed info, if you\'re diciplined about using. It its battery free

\r\n

2.6 Shortcomings

\r\n

Need to be disciplined. Can be tedious to enter items in month, daily and index sections. It takes time to set up. I think Shane\'s use case he mentioned in podcast as sort of a project/idea book sounds pretty cool and might be a really good use case for this system. Hard to edit, this may be a strength for some people, but for me as a daily planner it was a little daunting to use. Adding stuff to something requires either leaving space ahead of time or indexing to a new page. The monthly log was always a mystery to me on how to use it. If you lose it you\'ve lost it, no easy way to back it up

3 What is org mode

\r\n

3.1 Created by Carsten Dominik

\r\n\r\n

3.2 what it is

\r\n

Is an editing and organizing mode for notes, planning, and authoring in the free software text editor Emacs.

\r\n

3.3 How I found out about it

\r\n

3.3.1 emacs

\r\n
3.3.1.1 Wanted a commandline C development environment for microcontroller project development
\r\n
3.3.1.2 IDE
\r\n

Worked with vim/ a bash shell as a sort of minimal IDE. I specifically was using it on a laptop that didn\'t have X installed on it. Just for fun, not my bread and butter.

\r\n
3.3.1.3 Wanted to try something new
\r\n

Knew about emacs, had tried it didn\'t like it

\r\n
3.3.1.4 Thanks to klaatu for emacs hpr emacs episodes
\r\n\r\n
3.3.1.5 Thanks to youtube found out about org mode
\r\n

Rainer Konig - getting yourself organized with org-mode

\r\n

3.3.2 Switched in october 2016

\r\n

3.4 How I use it

\r\n

At its heart an org-mode is an outliner. I use org-mode to set up daily todo tasks, organize projects, jot down notes. Org-mode has a subsystem call agenda view that can generate daily planner views from your org-mode files. I initially tried to mimic the bullet journal in org-mode, but found that it was better to approach org mode relying on its strengths, which are different, as you can imagine, from a Bullet journal.

\r\n

3.5 Strengths

\r\n

I like it because its editable, searchable and customizable. Projects can be broken down into as fine a detail as you want and that detail level can expand or contract as necessary. The power of org-mode comes out when you use it to capturing ideas, tasks and information. Capturing these events is done via capture templates that you can create. This new data is then saved to the appropriate org file then shows up in your agenda view. Its extremely easy to back up, it\'s text based and therefore future proof. There are many good tutorials and resources online

\r\n

3.6 Shortcomings

\r\n

Need to know a little about emacs and that can feel overwhelming to try. This new tool will require you to use your brain. Emacs keybindings

\r\n

4 What\'s next

\r\n

Trying to find a good way to use orgmode portably. mobile-org app for android doesn\'t work for me. This has led to trying a couple of different solutions which I will record other hpr episodes about. Thanks for listening. If you have ideas on Bullet Journals or Org-mode I\'d love to hear an episode about it. I\'ll put links into the show notes, this is Brian in Ohio signing off.

OUR NEXT AUDIOBOOK

\r\n

Triplanetary by E. E. \"Doc\" Smith\r\n
https://librivox.org/triplanetary-first-in-the-lensman-series-by-e-e-doc-smith/

\r\n

OUR AUDIO

\r\n

This episode was processed using Audacity https://audacity.sourceforge.net/. We\'ve been making small adjustments to our audio mix each month in order to get the best possible sound. It\'s been especially challenging getting all of our voices relatively level, because everyone has their own unique setup. Mumble is great for bringing us all together, and for recording, but it\'s not good at making everyone\'s voice the same volume. We\'re pretty happy with the way this month\'s show turned out, so we\'d like to share our editing process and settings with you and our future selves (who, of course, will have forgotten all this by then).

\r\n

Mumble uses a sample rate of 48kHz, but HPR requires a sample rate of 44.1kHz so the first step in our audio process is to resample the file at 44.1kHz. Resampling can take a long time if you don\'t have a powerful computer, and sometimes even if you do. If you record late at night, like we do, you may want to start the task before you go to bed, and save it first thing in the morning, so that the file is ready to go the next time you are.

\r\n

Next we use the \"Compressor\" effect with the following settings:

\r\n \r\n

After compressing the audio we cut any pre-show and post-show chatter from the file and save them in a separate file for possible use as outtakes after the closing music.

\r\n

At this point we listen back to the whole file and we work on the shownotes. This is when we can cut out anything that needs to be cut, and we can also make sure that we put any links in the shownotes that were talked about during the recording of the show. We finish the shownotes before exporting the .aup file to .FLAC so that we can paste a copy of the shownotes into the audio file\'s metadata. We use the \"Truncate Silence\" effect with it\'s default settings to minimize the silence between people speaking. When used with its default (or at least reasonable) settings, Truncate Silence is extremely effective and satisfying. It makes everyone sound smarter, it makes the file shorter without destroying actual content, and it makes a conversations sound as easy and fluid during playback as it was while it was recorded. It can be even more effective if you can train yourself to remain silent instead of saying \"uuuuummmm.\" Just remember to ONLY pass the file through Truncate Silence ONCE. If you pass it through a second time, or if you set it too aggressively your audio may sound sped up and choppy.

\r\n

At this point we add new, empty audio tracks into which we paste the intro, outro and possibly outtakes, and we rename each track accordingly.

\r\n

We adjust the Gain so that the VU meter in Audacity hovers around -12db while people are speaking, and we try to keep the peaks under -6db, and we adjust the Gain on each of the new tracks so that all volumes are similar, and more importantly comfortable. Once this is done we can \"Mix and Render\" all of our tracks into a single track for export to the .FLAC file which is uploaded to the HPR FTP server.

\r\n

Remember to save often when using Audacity. We like to save after each of these steps. Audacity has a reputation for being \"crashy\" but if you remember save after every major transform, you will wonder how it ever got that reputation.

\r\n

\r\n\r\n

Starlink from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink

\r\n\r\n

\r\nStarlink is a satellite internet constellation being constructed by SpaceX providing satellite Internet access. The constellation will consist of thousands of mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), which communicate with designated ground transceivers. The SpaceX satellite development facility in Redmond, Washington houses the Starlink research, development, manufacturing, and orbit control teams. The cost of the decade-long project to design, build, and deploy the constellation was estimated by SpaceX in May 2018 to be at least US$10 billion.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nProduct development began in 2015. Two prototype test-flight satellites were launched in February 2018. Additional test satellites and 60 operational satellites were deployed in May 2019. SpaceX launches up to 60 satellites at a time, aiming to deploy 1,584 of the 260 kg (570 lb) spacecraft to provide near-global service by late 2021 or 2022. SpaceX started a private beta service in the Northern United States in August 2020 and a public beta in October 2020, service beginning at high latitudes between 44° and 52° North.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nOn 15 October 2019, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) submitted filings to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on SpaceX\'s behalf to arrange spectrum for 30,000 additional Starlink satellites to supplement the 12,000 Starlink satellites already approved by the FCC.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nAstronomers have raised concerns about the constellations’ effect on ground-based astronomy and how the satellites will add to an already jammed orbital environment. In response, SpaceX has implemented several upgrades to Starlink satellites aimed at reducing their brightness during operation. The satellites are equipped with krypton-fueled Hall thrusters which allow them to de-orbit at the end of their life. Additionally, the satellites are designed to autonomously avoid collisions based on uplinked tracking data.\r\n

This episode is a response to hpr3367 by Andrew Conway and Dave Morriss. One of the topics they brought up was the thorny issue of page numbers in e-books. Most of the time you don\'t need to worry about page numbers in ebooks, if you\'re reading fiction for example. The whole point of an ebook is that the texts can reflow to fit the page no matter what size the screen is or what font-size you\'ve chosen. This is a major accessibility feature of all e-book formats. One reason you might want to specify actual page numbers, though, is if you\'re dealing with a technical or academic book, and you need to be able to refer to specific passages in the book by page number, as you are expected to do in academic research. Or, as Andrew and Dave were discussing, you might need to create an index in your ebook that would send your readers back to specific pages like in a paper book.

\r\n\r\n

I\'ve thought about this before but never really gotten into the weeds and figured out how to make it happen. In fact, when I was creating the new digital editions of the Counterpoint textbooks like I discussed in hpr1512, I actually took the trouble to put page number anchors through the entire thing, so that at a future date I would be able to enable real page numbers. This was a key part of the source file\'s infrastructure, which helped me quickly find the passages I was working on in my huge HTML file. Those anchors are not quite in the correct format for EPUB, but they are consistent and I will easily be able to write a script to fix them. I haven\'t done that yet, but now that I figured out how to do it on some smaller examples, this is on my to-do list.

\r\n\r\n

Anyway while I was listening to Dave and Andrew talk about this, I thought I remembered reading somewhere that in the newest ePub specification, EPUB 3, there was support for publisher\'s page numbers to deal with precisely this issue. Their discussion prompted me to see if I could make it work. I\'m happy to report success, although with some qualifications, which I will get into.

\r\n\r\n

Converting to EPUB 3

\r\n\r\n

The first thing to do is to upgrade your ebook from EPUB2 to EPUB3. There are a couple of ways to do this. The way I did it was to use the ebook editor in a recent version of Calibre. When you open up the EPUB for editing, go to the Tools menu and choose Upgrade book internals. This will create the new navigation file nav.xhtml to replace the old toc.ncx file. You\'ll need to edit this new file later to enable the page numbers.

\r\n\r\n

Insert page anchors

\r\n\r\n

Next you need to put your page anchors in there. This could be very tedious if you haven\'t done any preparatory work, such as putting visible page numbers in plain sight in square brackets [21] the way I did for a couple of ebooks. It wasn\'t very elegant, but at least it was easy to find where the page breaks were. I have a Blather voice command that triggers a python script to create these things. Here\'s an example of page number anchor, which goes in the main text of the book wherever you want to insert a page number. This will not be visible to the reader inline. This is for page 57:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n<span epub:type="pagebreak" id="page57" title="57"></span>\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Page List in Navigation File

\r\n\r\n

Finally you need to put a page list in the new navigation file. This is simply an ordered list with hyperlinks to every page anchor that you put in your ebook. This will not be visible to the reader, but it\'s critical to making everything work. Here\'s a minimal example from my first attempt. This only covers Pages 122 to 126. This is the kind of page numbering you might need if you created an ebook from a five-page article from an academic journal that appeared in the middle of the volume.

\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<nav epub:type="page-list" hidden="hidden">\r\n    <ol>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page122">122</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page123">123</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page124">124</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page125">125</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page126">126</a></li>\r\n    </ol>\r\n</nav>\r\n
\r\n\r\n

I\'m not sure it matters where you put this navigation block in the nav.xhmtl file, but I put mine between the table of contents and the landmarks blocks.

\r\n\r\n

Scripting the creation of page list

\r\n\r\n

It could be very tedious to create a page list like this, so of course I wrote a script to automate a lot of the heavy lifting. I\'m sure Dave can write one that\'s more elegant than this, but this is what I came up with in about 5 minutes and it did the job, with the exception of putting the right URL for each link. I did a little bit of post-production to search and replace the URLs generated in the script with what I needed for the specific eBook. I think if you added a third command-line argument with a URL, you can solve this problem. The difficulty with larger books will be when you have more than one internal HTML file in the book, you will have to go through very carefully and make sure that the link goes to the correct file. I saved the script as pagelist.sh and put it in my $PATH.

\r\n\r\n

Command to run to generate a page list from pages 42 to 61:

\r\n\r\n
\r\npagelist.sh 42 61\r\n
\r\n\r\n

And here\'s the script:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n#!/bin/bash\r\n\r\n# grab beginning and ending pages from 1st and 2nd\r\n# CLI arguments, and specify a tmp file to put stuff\r\nstart="$1"\r\nend="$2"\r\nnavfile=/tmp/navfile.txt\r\n\r\n# put the top matter for the nav block\r\necho \'<nav epub:type="page-list" hidden="hidden">\' > $navfile\r\necho "    <ol>" >> $navfile\r\n\r\n# iterate through the page numbers making list item for each one.\r\n# should replace filename with your ebook\'s actual filename\r\nfor i in $(seq $start $end); do\r\n	echo "        <li><a href=\\"filename.html#page$i\\">$i</a></li>" >> $navfile\r\ndone\r\n\r\n# close out the list and nav block\r\necho "    </ol>" >> $navfile\r\necho "</nav>" >> $navfile\r\n\r\nexit 0\r\n
\r\n\r\nThen you just need to copy and paste what was generated from the script into your editor and make sure all of the URLs are correct, then stick that navigation block into the nav.xhtml file.\r\n\r\n

Conclusions

\r\n\r\n

So, once you have the page anchors and the page list in place in your EPUB3 ebook, everything should work. The problem is that so far the only ebook reader I have found that renders the page numbers correctly on the screen is the iBooks app on iOS. I tried it on my Kobo dedicated eReader, on the Marvin ePub reader on iOS and on Overdrive on Android, and none of them displayed my shiny page numbers. iBooks was the only one, but it did so perfectly after choosing \"show publisher page numbers\" on the table of contents menu. It was pretty magical. A quick internet search confirms that there is very little e-book reader or app support for displaying these page numbers.

\r\n\r\n

However, the embedded page numbers will still be useful if what you want to do is create an index that directs readers back to specific pages. On the one hand, indexes are not as critical as they used to be because you can search through the text of e-books very easily. What you can\'t do easily is browse an eBook the way you can browse a paper book index to see what topics might catch your eye. This might be something only academics do. It\'s not uncommon for an academic to pick up a book and flip right to the bibliography and the index!

SpaceX started a private beta service in the Northern United States in August 2020 and a public beta in October 2020, service beginning at high latitudes between 44° and 52° North.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nOn 15 October 2019, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) submitted filings to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on SpaceX\'s behalf to arrange spectrum for 30,000 additional Starlink satellites to supplement the 12,000 Starlink satellites already approved by the FCC.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nAstronomers have raised concerns about the constellations’ effect on ground-based astronomy and how the satellites will add to an already jammed orbital environment. In response, SpaceX has implemented several upgrades to Starlink satellites aimed at reducing their brightness during operation. The satellites are equipped with krypton-fueled Hall thrusters which allow them to de-orbit at the end of their life. Additionally, the satellites are designed to autonomously avoid collisions based on uplinked tracking data.\r\n

This episode is a response to hpr3367 by Andrew Conway and Dave Morriss. One of the topics they brought up was the thorny issue of page numbers in e-books. Most of the time you don\'t need to worry about page numbers in ebooks, if you\'re reading fiction for example. The whole point of an ebook is that the texts can reflow to fit the page no matter what size the screen is or what font-size you\'ve chosen. This is a major accessibility feature of all e-book formats. One reason you might want to specify actual page numbers, though, is if you\'re dealing with a technical or academic book, and you need to be able to refer to specific passages in the book by page number, as you are expected to do in academic research. Or, as Andrew and Dave were discussing, you might need to create an index in your ebook that would send your readers back to specific pages like in a paper book.

\r\n\r\n

I\'ve thought about this before but never really gotten into the weeds and figured out how to make it happen. In fact, when I was creating the new digital editions of the Counterpoint textbooks like I discussed in hpr1512, I actually took the trouble to put page number anchors through the entire thing, so that at a future date I would be able to enable real page numbers. This was a key part of the source file\'s infrastructure, which helped me quickly find the passages I was working on in my huge HTML file. Those anchors are not quite in the correct format for EPUB, but they are consistent and I will easily be able to write a script to fix them. I haven\'t done that yet, but now that I figured out how to do it on some smaller examples, this is on my to-do list.

\r\n\r\n

Anyway while I was listening to Dave and Andrew talk about this, I thought I remembered reading somewhere that in the newest ePub specification, EPUB 3, there was support for publisher\'s page numbers to deal with precisely this issue. Their discussion prompted me to see if I could make it work. I\'m happy to report success, although with some qualifications, which I will get into.

\r\n\r\n

Converting to EPUB 3

\r\n\r\n

The first thing to do is to upgrade your ebook from EPUB2 to EPUB3. There are a couple of ways to do this. The way I did it was to use the ebook editor in a recent version of Calibre. When you open up the EPUB for editing, go to the Tools menu and choose Upgrade book internals. This will create the new navigation file nav.xhtml to replace the old toc.ncx file. You\'ll need to edit this new file later to enable the page numbers.

\r\n\r\n

Insert page anchors

\r\n\r\n

Next you need to put your page anchors in there. This could be very tedious if you haven\'t done any preparatory work, such as putting visible page numbers in plain sight in square brackets [21] the way I did for a couple of ebooks. It wasn\'t very elegant, but at least it was easy to find where the page breaks were. I have a Blather voice command that triggers a python script to create these things. Here\'s an example of page number anchor, which goes in the main text of the book wherever you want to insert a page number. This will not be visible to the reader inline. This is for page 57:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n<span epub:type="pagebreak" id="page57" title="57"></span>\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Page List in Navigation File

\r\n\r\n

Finally you need to put a page list in the new navigation file. This is simply an ordered list with hyperlinks to every page anchor that you put in your ebook. This will not be visible to the reader, but it\'s critical to making everything work. Here\'s a minimal example from my first attempt. This only covers Pages 122 to 126. This is the kind of page numbering you might need if you created an ebook from a five-page article from an academic journal that appeared in the middle of the volume.

\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<nav epub:type="page-list" hidden="hidden">\r\n    <ol>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page122">122</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page123">123</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page124">124</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page125">125</a></li>\r\n        <li><a href="filename.html#page126">126</a></li>\r\n    </ol>\r\n</nav>\r\n
\r\n\r\n

I\'m not sure it matters where you put this navigation block in the nav.xhmtl file, but I put mine between the table of contents and the landmarks blocks.

\r\n\r\n

Scripting the creation of page list

\r\n\r\n

It could be very tedious to create a page list like this, so of course I wrote a script to automate a lot of the heavy lifting. I\'m sure Dave can write one that\'s more elegant than this, but this is what I came up with in about 5 minutes and it did the job, with the exception of putting the right URL for each link. I did a little bit of post-production to search and replace the URLs generated in the script with what I needed for the specific eBook. I think if you added a third command-line argument with a URL, you can solve this problem. The difficulty with larger books will be when you have more than one internal HTML file in the book, you will have to go through very carefully and make sure that the link goes to the correct file. I saved the script as pagelist.sh and put it in my $PATH.

\r\n\r\n

Command to run to generate a page list from pages 42 to 61:

\r\n\r\n
\r\npagelist.sh 42 61\r\n
\r\n\r\n

And here\'s the script:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n#!/bin/bash\r\n\r\n# grab beginning and ending pages from 1st and 2nd\r\n# CLI arguments, and specify a tmp file to put stuff\r\nstart="$1"\r\nend="$2"\r\nnavfile=/tmp/navfile.txt\r\n\r\n# put the top matter for the nav block\r\necho \'<nav epub:type="page-list" hidden="hidden">\' > $navfile\r\necho "    <ol>" >> $navfile\r\n\r\n# iterate through the page numbers making list item for each one.\r\n# should replace filename with your ebook\'s actual filename\r\nfor i in $(seq $start $end); do\r\n	echo "        <li><a href=\\"filename.html#page$i\\">$i</a></li>" >> $navfile\r\ndone\r\n\r\n# close out the list and nav block\r\necho "    </ol>" >> $navfile\r\necho "</nav>" >> $navfile\r\n\r\nexit 0\r\n
\r\n\r\nThen you just need to copy and paste what was generated from the script into your editor and make sure all of the URLs are correct, then stick that navigation block into the nav.xhtml file.\r\n\r\n

Conclusions

\r\n\r\n

So, once you have the page anchors and the page list in place in your EPUB3 ebook, everything should work. The problem is that so far the only ebook reader I have found that renders the page numbers correctly on the screen is the iBooks app on iOS. I tried it on my Kobo dedicated eReader, on the Marvin ePub reader on iOS and on Overdrive on Android, and none of them displayed my shiny page numbers. iBooks was the only one, but it did so perfectly after choosing \"show publisher page numbers\" on the table of contents menu. It was pretty magical. A quick internet search confirms that there is very little e-book reader or app support for displaying these page numbers.

\r\n\r\n

However, the embedded page numbers will still be useful if what you want to do is create an index that directs readers back to specific pages. On the one hand, indexes are not as critical as they used to be because you can search through the text of e-books very easily. What you can\'t do easily is browse an eBook the way you can browse a paper book index to see what topics might catch your eye. This might be something only academics do. It\'s not uncommon for an academic to pick up a book and flip right to the bibliography and the index!

Overview

\r\n

I live on my own, but I cook for members of my family from time to time. Each week we all get together and cook dinner for Wednesday and Thursday. I usually do the cooking but we are starting to share these duties for certain meals.

\r\n

In 2019 I thought it would be useful if I had some sort of random chooser to decide what next week’s meal was going to be. I wrote a Bash script called choose_meal, using a simple CSV file of meal names and the date last eaten to avoid choosing the same one too often. The shortcomings of this approach soon became apparent!

\r\n

It wasn’t long before choose_meal was rewritten in Perl. This time I decided to use a database, and chose SQLite to create it. My database contained just two tables, one for the meals themselves (called slightly confusingly \'meal_history\'), and another for a record of the choices made (called \'meal_log\') – the ability to produce historical reports seemed like a desirable feature!

\r\n

In 2019 the design of this system was very specific to our needs: one choice per week on a Wednesday. It was not something that could be used by anyone else – which seemed like a bad idea.

\r\n

In late 2020 and early 2021 the system was redesigned, as will be discussed in the detailed notes. In May 2021 a more general design was added to the public GitLab repository and the preparation of this show was begun.

\r\n

I had never intended this system to hold recipes. This was partly because I have built a collection of recipes I have constructed from various sources and amended as I have made them. I print these and keep them in a ring-binder for reference as I cook. In some cases the meals described in the database are multi-component ones (such as the dishes that make up a curry for example), so it doesn’t seem appropriate to hold these here.

\r\n

I might rethink this in the future however.

A previously undocumented command-and-control (C2) framework dubbed\nAlchimist is likely being used in the wild to target Windows, macOS, and\nLinux systems.

\n

\"Alchimist C2 has a web interface written in Simplified Chinese and\ncan generate a configured payload, establish remote sessions, deploy\npayloads to the remote machines, capture screenshots, perform remote\nshellcode execution, and run arbitrary commands,\" Cisco Talos said in a\nreport shared with The Hacker News. Written in GoLang, Alchimist is\ncomplemented by a beacon implant called Insekt, which comes with remote\naccess features that can be instrumented by the C2 server.”

\n

\"Since Alchimist is a single-file based ready-to-go C2 framework, it\nis difficult to attribute its use to a single actor such as the authors,\nAPTs, or crimeware syndicates.\"

\n

The trojan, for its part, is equipped with features typically present\nin backdoors of this kind, enabling the malware to get system\ninformation, capture screenshots, run arbitrary commands, and download\nremote files, among others.

\n

Alchimist C2 panel further features the ability to generate first\nstage payloads, including PowerShell and wget code snippets for Windows\nand Linux, potentially allowing an attacker to flesh out their infection\nchains to distribute the Insekt RAT binary. The instructions could then\nbe potentially embedded in a maldoc attached to a phishing email that,\nwhen opened, downloads and launches the backdoor on the compromised\nmachine. What\'s more, the Linux version of Insekt is capable of listing\nthe contents of the \".ssh\" directory and even adding new SSH keys to the\n\"~/.ssh/authorized_keys\" file to facilitate remote access over SSH.

\nHackers\nUsing Vishing to Trick Victims into Installing Android Banking\nMalware.\n

Malicious actors are resorting to voice phishing (vishing) tactics to\ndupe victims into installing Android malware on their devices.

\n

The Dutch mobile security company said it identified a network of\nphishing websites targeting Italian online-banking users that are\ndesigned to get hold of their contact details.

\n

Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD), as the social engineering\ntechnique is called, involves calling the victims using previously\ncollected information from the fraudulent websites.

\n

The caller, who purports to be a support agent for the bank,\ninstructs the individual on the other end of the call to install a\nsecurity app and grant it extensive permissions, when, in reality, it\'s\nmalicious software intended to gain remote access or conduct financial\nfraud.

\n

What\'s more, the infrastructure utilized by the threat actor has been\nfound to deliver a second malware named SMS Spy that enables the\nadversary to gain access to all incoming SMS messages and intercept\none-time passwords (OTPs) sent by banks.

\n

The new wave of hybrid fraud attacks presents a new dimension for\nscammers to mount convincing Android malware campaigns that have\notherwise relied on traditional methods such as Google Play Store\ndroppers, rogue ads, and smishing.

\n64,000\nAdditional Patients Impacted by Omnicell Data Breach - What is Your Data\nBreach Action Plan?\n

Founded in 1992, Omnicell is a leading provider of medication\nmanagement solutions for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and\nretail pharmacies. On May 4, 2022, Omnicell\'s IT systems and third-party\ncloud services were affected by ransomware attacks which may lead to\ndata security concerns for employees and patients. While it is still\nearly in the investigation, this appears to be a severe breach with\npotentially significant consequences for the company.

\n

Omnicell began informing individuals whose information may have been\ncompromised on August 3, 2022. Hackers may be able to access and sell\npatient-sensitive information, such as social security numbers, due to\nthe time delay between the breach and the company\'s report of affected\npatients.

\n

The type of information that may be exposed are:

\n
    \n
  • Credit card information.
    • \n
  • Financial information.
    • \n
  • Social security numbers.
    • \n
  • Driver\'s license numbers.
    • \n
  • Health insurance details.
    • \n
\n

The healthcare industry is one of the most targeted sectors globally,\nwith attacks doubling year over year. And these costs are measured in\nmillions or even billions of dollars - not to mention increased risks\nfor patients\' privacy (and reputation).

How to\nprotect schools getting whacked by ransomware.

\n

Ransomware gangs are taking Americans to school. So far this year,\nhackers have taken hostage at least 1,735 schools in 27 districts; the\nmassive Los Angeles Unified School District is their latest target.

\n

Ransomware hackers breach computers, lock them up, steal sensitive\ndata and demand money to release their hold on organizations’ critical\nsystems. These criminals often attack schools because they are\nprofitable targets. If all ransomware victims refused to pay, the\nattacks would stop. Indeed, paying up might be illegal: The Treasury\nDepartment released guidance last year noting that giving money to\nglobal criminal organizations can violate sanctions law.

\n

The trouble is, saying no isn’t always easy. Los Angeles didn’t\ncapitulate, and the criminals leaked a trove of data — a consequence\nthat can prove more or less serious depending on the sensitivity of the\nstolen information.

\n

“Because we can,” said a representative of the ransomware gang that\ntook down Los Angeles Unified School District, explaining the\ncollective’s motivations to a Bloomberg News reporter. Schools’ task is\nto turn “can” to “can’t” — or, at least, to make success pay a whole lot\nless.

\nVerizon\nAlerts Prepaid Customers to Recent Security Breach.\n

Verizon notified prepaid customers this week of a recent cyberattack\nthat granted third-party actors access to their accounts, as reported\nearlier Tuesday by BleepingComputer. The attack occurred between Oct. 6\nand Oct. 10 and affected 250 Verizon prepaid customers.

\n

The breach exposed the last four digits of customers\' credit cards\nused to make payments on their prepaid accounts. While no full credit\ncard information was accessible, the information was enough to grant the\nattackers access to Verizon user accounts, which hold semi-sensitive\ndata such \"name, telephone number, billing address, price plans, and\nother service-related information,\" per a notice from Verizon.

\n

Account access also potentially enabled attackers to process\nunauthorized SIM card changes on prepaid lines. Also known as SIM\nswapping, unauthorized SIM card changes can allow for the transfer of an\nunsuspecting person\'s phone number to another phone.

\n

From there, the counterfeit phone can be used to receive SMS messages\nfor password resets and user identification verifications on other\naccounts, giving attackers potential access to any account they have, or\ncan guess, the username for. Consequently, Verizon recommended affected\ncustomers secure their non-Verizon accounts such as social media,\nfinancial, email and other accounts that allow for password resets by\nphone.

Tip not covered in my\nPodcast

\n

Splits are not fixed and can be adjusted. Once you\'ve split up clips\nand put them in the right order on the timeline you can still adjust the\ncut point even though you previously split the clip because the clip is\nreferenced to the original file in the playlist.

Introduction

\n

Hello and welcome Hacker Public Radio audience my name is Mr X\nwelcome to this podcast. As per usual I\'d like to start by thanking the\npeople at HPR for making this podcast possible. HPR is a Community led\npodcast provided by the community for the community that means you can\ncontribute to. The HPR team have gone to great deal of effort to\nsimplify and streamline the process of providing podcasts. There are\nmany ways to record an episode these days using phones tablets PCs and\nalike. The hardest barrier is sending in your first show. Don\'t get too\nhung up about quality, it\'s more important just to send something in.\nThe sound quality of some of my early shows wasn\'t very good. If I can\ndo it anyone can and you might just get hooked in the process.

\n

Well it\'s been almost a year since I\'ve sent in a show. Looking at\nthe HPR site my last episode was back in November 2021. I suspect like\nmany others life has become more complicated and I find I have much less\nspare time and because I have much less spare time I have much less time\nto pursue my hobbies and because of this I have less to speak about and\nbecause of this I have less time to record what I\'ve been doing and it\nall turns into to vicious circle. Fortunately I recently had some time\noff work and had a lovely holiday. During the holiday I ended up\nrecording some video which I decided I wanted to edit. I\'ve done some\nvideo editing in the past using various video editing packages. The best\nand most recent of which is shotcut.

\n

Specific details and\nequipment

\n

Video resolution 1920 x 1080, Codec h264 mpeg-4, Frame rate 30 frames\nper second.

\n

Computer Dell Optiplex 780. Fitted with 4 GB of internal RAM and\nonboard video graphics card.

\n

Shotcut version 22.06.23 Shotcut is a free open-source cross-platform\nvideo editor licenced under the GNU general public licence version\n3.0

\n

This episode will only cover basic shotcut video editing techniques.\nShotcut contains many advanced features and effects that will not be\ncovered in this episode. A lot of the workflow I’ll share with you today\nis intended to get around limitations imposed by my low spec PC

\n

I\'ll try my best to cover the video editing process in this podcast\nusing words alone; however I am conscious that an accompanying video\nwould make it easier to follow along.

\n

Shotcut workflow

\n

Start by creating a folder to hold all the required media files.\nAudio tracks and sound effects can be added to this folder later. Make\nsure all your video files are using the same frame rate in my case 30\nframes per second.

\n

Open each video file in VLC one at a time going through each video\nfile looking for the best portions of video. Make a note of where the\nbest portions of the video are by writing down the start and end points\nin minutes and seconds.

\n

I do this because the interface of VLC is more responsive than\nshortcut and the resolution of displayed video is far greater than the\npreview in shortcut. This makes it quicker and easier to find the best\nportions of video.

\n

Open shortcut and make sure the new project is set to the same frames\nper second as the media files you\'re working with, in my case 30 frames\nper second. You can check the frame rate of your project by looking at\nthe selected video mode in the new projects window. If you select\nautomatic it will ensure the project resolution and frame rate\nautomatically match that of your media files.

\n

Start by adding all the video files to the playlist, this can be done\nin a number of ways for example it can be done by clicking on the open\nfile button in the top toolbar or within the open files menu.\nAlternatively you can drag and drop files into the playlist. I find this\nto be the easiest way to add media files to a project. Once this is done\nsave your project.

\n

Drag the first file from the Playlist to the timeline making sure\nthat the start of the video starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Click on the timeline in the position where the first start point of\ninterest is needed. Use the S key to split the video at this point.\nDon\'t worry about being too accurate as this can be moved at a later\nstage.

\n

Repeat this process for the end point of interest.

\n

Repeat this again for all the other sections of start and end points\nof interest.

\n

Remove the unwanted sections of video by clicking on a section then\nhitting the delete key. This will remove the unwanted section leaving an\nempty space behind.

\n

Once all the unwanted sections are removed click on the sections of\nvideo and pull them to the left to close the gaps up. I find it useful\nto leave some space between the good sections of video as it makes it\neasier to see where splits are and makes it easier later on to rearrange\nthe order of the individual clips.

\n

Check the start and end points of the remaining sections of video to\nsee that the start and end points stop in the correct place. You can do\nthis by clicking the play button on the preview window. The video start\nand end points can be adjusted by dragging the section left or right in\nin the timeline section; this is where leaving spaces Between each\nsection of video can be handy as it allows for fine tuning.

\n

Add a new blank video track to the timeline to hold the next video.\nNote this wasn\'t required when adding the first video track but it is\nneeded for each subsequent track. A video track can be added by right\nclicking on an empty portion of the timeline and selecting add video\ntrack. Alternatively use the ctrl + I key.

\n

Drag your second video from the playlist onto the newly created blank\nvideo track in the timeline. As before make sure that the start of the\nvideo starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Before previewing any section of the second video track click the\nsmall eye shaped hide icon in the left section of the first video track\nlabelled output. This will prevent previewing both video tracks at the\nsame time.

\n

Repeat the process above of chopping the second video track into\nsections using the S key to split the video up. Remove the unwanted\nsections. Finally adjust the start and end points of the remaining\nsections.

\n

Repeat the steps above to add the remaining video files one at a time\nfrom the playlist to the timeline.

\n

When complete you end up with separate video tracks in the timeline\neach containing good sections of video.

\n

At this stage I can\'t be too specific about how to continue as there\nare a number of different options depending on your particular Project.\nYou can for example start by combining the good sections of video into\none video track by dragging them from one track to another then add if\nrequired an audio track or you can add the audio track first and then\ntry to sync things up to the audio track moving bits and pieces of video\ninto one video track remembering to hide the unwanted sections of video\nby clicking on the small hide eye icons. Don\'t do too much editing\nwithout saving the project. If you get a message about low memory save\nthe project then reopen it.

\n

To export the final video click on the export button in the toolbar.\nI pick the default option, this creates an H.264/AAC MP4 file suitable\nfor most users and purposes. You can check the frame rate is the same as\nyour original media files by clicking on the advanced tab. Click the\nexport file button and give it a file name. It may take some time to\ncreate the export file. This will be dependent on the speed of your\ncomputer and the length and resolution of your project.

\n

While Shotcut is far from perfect on my puny PC it is surprisingly\nusable and stable and is the best option I’ve found so far.

\n

Finally here are some general shotcut tips I have when doing video\nediting on a puny PC with limited ram, slow processor and built in\ngraphics card such as mine.

\n

General Tips\nwhen working with a low powered PC

\n

Close all open applications leaving only shortcut open this helps\nwith RAM usage

\n

Shortcut is surprisingly stable with a feeble PC such as mine. I\nwould still recommend saving your project regularly as it is quick and\nvery easy to do.

\n

If you get a message about running out of RAM then try not to do too\nmuch more editing before saving the project. Once saved close shotcut\nand then reopen it. The longer your project is and the higher your\nproject resolution the more RAM you will need.

\n

When you are about to export your final video save the project close\nshortcut reopen shotcut and immediately export your project as any\nprevious editing may be taking up precious ram.

\n

Be patient when clicking on the timeline to repositioned the play\nhead. Always wait for the preview window to update. This can sometimes\ntake a few seconds.

\n

When trying to sync video to audio you need to zoom in in quite a\nlong way before getting an audio preview. When doing this and moving the\nplay head you\'ll get a choppy version of the audio with this it is still\nperfectly possible to find the beat of the music allowing you to sync\nyour video to the music. If this doesn\'t seem to work for you then try\nzooming in closer.

\n

Ok that\'s about it for this podcast. Hope it wasn\'t too boring and it\nmade some sense. If you want to contact me I can be contacted at\nmrxathpr at googlemail.

\n

Thank you and goodbye.

What\nis Typosquatting and How Do Scammers Use it?

\n
    \n
  • Typosquatting, as an attack, uses modified or misspelled domain\nnames to trick users into visiting fraudulent websites; the heart of\nthis attack is domain name registration. Typosquatting is deployed by\nscammers to defraud unaware users. Attackers will attempt to: mimic\nlogin pages, redirect traffic, download malware, and extort users.

Two-factor and\nMultifactor Authentication.

\n
    \n

  • First, authentication. This is the process of verifying the\nvalidity of something; in our case, user credentials/identity. The most\ncommon way to authenticate is: USERNAME and PASSWORD.\nThis is just a single layer (single-factor authentication) and isn’t\nenough to discourage attackers.

    • \n

  • Second, 2FA (Two-factor Authentication). 2FA increases the\ndifficulty for attackers by providing users an additional layer of\nsecurity to accomplish authentication. Common 2FA methods are: TOTP/OTP\n(the One Time Password), Authenticator\nApplications (Bitwarden, KeePassXC,...), and Security Keys (Yubikey). This works similar to ATMs;\nto authenticate the user must provide both knowledge (account\nPIN) and a physical object (bank card).

    • \n

  • Last, but not least, MFA (Multifactor Authentication). Similar to\n2FA, MFA offers users security with the addition of biometrics\n(fingerprint scan, retina scan, facial recognition, and voice\nrecognition). Attackers must overcome the knowledge factor, Possession\nfactor, Inherence/Biometric factor, Time factor, and sometimes Location\nfactor.

TIL 1 - is it learnt\nor learned?

\n

I discovered that both are acceptable. Both are the past tense (and\npast participle) of the verb \"to learn\":

\n
    \n
  • learnt is an older form which is more common in British\nEnglish
    • \n
  • learned is more common in US English, and is becoming more\npopular in the UK

TIL 2 - the French word\nfor piggy bank

\n

I watch a YouTube channel from a Canadian woodworker who produces\nEnglish and French versions of his episodes. His latest one is about\nmaking a wooden piggy bank, or tirelire in French.

\n

I learnt French at school (though I wasn\'t much good at it), but have\nnever come across this word. My questions are:

\n
    \n
  • Where does it come from?
    • \n
  • How do you say it?
    • \n
\n

The Wiktionary page below has answers to both.

\n
    \n
  • It\'s of onomatopoeic origin (representing the rattling of\ncoins).
    • \n
  • There\'s audio on the page showing how to say it (as well as the IPA\nversion [International Phonetic Alphabet], see below).
    • \n
\n\n\n

TIL 3 - how to\npronounce IPA coded words

\n

I actually learnt about this a while ago, but I thought now would be\na good time to share.

\n

The IPA form of tirelire is /tiʁ.liʁ/ (I\nincluded the enclosing slash delimiters which aren\'t part of the IPA but\nhave significance; see the IPA Wikipedia page for details). I have seen\nthese symbols for years but have never managed to decode them\nreliably.

\n

A few months ago I wondered how to deal with them reliably (and\neasily). There are many sites offering to transcribe English (and other\nlanguages) to IPA, a few of which are free. I only found one that would\nattempt to speak IPA, and that is IPA\nReader.

\n

Paste the IPA into the form, select a reader voice, and click \"Read\".\nSome of the voices seem a bit odd. I settled on \"Brian\" for British\nEnglish, and it seems fine.

\n

The first show was released\non 2010-10-24 and the last ever show (this one) was released on\n2022-10-12.

\n

Over the twelve years, Jon would go on to meet to meet Yannick and Ken Fallon, both\nof whom would go on to shape changes (big and small) to CCHits.

\n

This year, the cracks started to re-appear in the architecture\nunderneath CCHits - between APIs shutting down that were used to load\ntracks to CCHits, and the general framework being used to write CCHits\nnot receiving the care and attention it needed... and the team finally\ndecided to stop adding new tracks, and let the process build the last\nfew shows.

\nNew\nChinese Malware Attack Framework Targets Windows, macOS, and Linux\nSystems.\n

A previously undocumented command-and-control (C2) framework dubbed\nAlchimist is likely being used in the wild to target Windows, macOS, and\nLinux systems.

\n

\"Alchimist C2 has a web interface written in Simplified Chinese and\ncan generate a configured payload, establish remote sessions, deploy\npayloads to the remote machines, capture screenshots, perform remote\nshellcode execution, and run arbitrary commands,\" Cisco Talos said in a\nreport shared with The Hacker News. Written in GoLang, Alchimist is\ncomplemented by a beacon implant called Insekt, which comes with remote\naccess features that can be instrumented by the C2 server.”

\n

\"Since Alchimist is a single-file based ready-to-go C2 framework, it\nis difficult to attribute its use to a single actor such as the authors,\nAPTs, or crimeware syndicates.\"

\n

The trojan, for its part, is equipped with features typically present\nin backdoors of this kind, enabling the malware to get system\ninformation, capture screenshots, run arbitrary commands, and download\nremote files, among others.

\n

Alchimist C2 panel further features the ability to generate first\nstage payloads, including PowerShell and wget code snippets for Windows\nand Linux, potentially allowing an attacker to flesh out their infection\nchains to distribute the Insekt RAT binary. The instructions could then\nbe potentially embedded in a maldoc attached to a phishing email that,\nwhen opened, downloads and launches the backdoor on the compromised\nmachine. What\'s more, the Linux version of Insekt is capable of listing\nthe contents of the \".ssh\" directory and even adding new SSH keys to the\n\"~/.ssh/authorized_keys\" file to facilitate remote access over SSH.

\n

\nHackers\nUsing Vishing to Trick Victims into Installing Android Banking\nMalware.\n

Malicious actors are resorting to voice phishing (vishing) tactics to\ndupe victims into installing Android malware on their devices.

\n

The Dutch mobile security company said it identified a network of\nphishing websites targeting Italian online-banking users that are\ndesigned to get hold of their contact details.

\n

Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD), as the social engineering\ntechnique is called, involves calling the victims using previously\ncollected information from the fraudulent websites.

\n

The caller, who purports to be a support agent for the bank,\ninstructs the individual on the other end of the call to install a\nsecurity app and grant it extensive permissions, when, in reality, it\'s\nmalicious software intended to gain remote access or conduct financial\nfraud.

\n

What\'s more, the infrastructure utilized by the threat actor has been\nfound to deliver a second malware named SMS Spy that enables the\nadversary to gain access to all incoming SMS messages and intercept\none-time passwords (OTPs) sent by banks.

\n

The new wave of hybrid fraud attacks presents a new dimension for\nscammers to mount convincing Android malware campaigns that have\notherwise relied on traditional methods such as Google Play Store\ndroppers, rogue ads, and smishing.

\n64,000\nAdditional Patients Impacted by Omnicell Data Breach - What is Your Data\nBreach Action Plan?\n

Founded in 1992, Omnicell is a leading provider of medication\nmanagement solutions for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and\nretail pharmacies. On May 4, 2022, Omnicell\'s IT systems and third-party\ncloud services were affected by ransomware attacks which may lead to\ndata security concerns for employees and patients. While it is still\nearly in the investigation, this appears to be a severe breach with\npotentially significant consequences for the company.

\n

Omnicell began informing individuals whose information may have been\ncompromised on August 3, 2022. Hackers may be able to access and sell\npatient-sensitive information, such as social security numbers, due to\nthe time delay between the breach and the company\'s report of affected\npatients.

\n

The type of information that may be exposed are:

\n
    \n
  • Credit card information.
    • \n
  • Financial information.
    • \n
  • Social security numbers.
    • \n
  • Driver\'s license numbers.
    • \n
  • Health insurance details.
    • \n
\n

The healthcare industry is one of the most targeted sectors globally,\nwith attacks doubling year over year. And these costs are measured in\nmillions or even billions of dollars - not to mention increased risks\nfor patients\' privacy (and reputation).

\n

\n

How to\nprotect schools getting whacked by ransomware.

\n

Ransomware gangs are taking Americans to school. So far this year,\nhackers have taken hostage at least 1,735 schools in 27 districts; the\nmassive Los Angeles Unified School District is their latest target.

\n

Ransomware hackers breach computers, lock them up, steal sensitive\ndata and demand money to release their hold on organizations’ critical\nsystems. These criminals often attack schools because they are\nprofitable targets. If all ransomware victims refused to pay, the\nattacks would stop. Indeed, paying up might be illegal: The Treasury\nDepartment released guidance last year noting that giving money to\nglobal criminal organizations can violate sanctions law.

\n

The trouble is, saying no isn’t always easy. Los Angeles didn’t\ncapitulate, and the criminals leaked a trove of data — a consequence\nthat can prove more or less serious depending on the sensitivity of the\nstolen information.

\n

“Because we can,” said a representative of the ransomware gang that\ntook down Los Angeles Unified School District, explaining the\ncollective’s motivations to a Bloomberg News reporter. Schools’ task is\nto turn “can” to “can’t” — or, at least, to make success pay a whole lot\nless.

\n

CNET News.

\nVerizon\nAlerts Prepaid Customers to Recent Security Breach.\n

Verizon notified prepaid customers this week of a recent cyberattack\nthat granted third-party actors access to their accounts, as reported\nearlier Tuesday by BleepingComputer. The attack occurred between Oct. 6\nand Oct. 10 and affected 250 Verizon prepaid customers.

\n

The breach exposed the last four digits of customers\' credit cards\nused to make payments on their prepaid accounts. While no full credit\ncard information was accessible, the information was enough to grant the\nattackers access to Verizon user accounts, which hold semi-sensitive\ndata such \"name, telephone number, billing address, price plans, and\nother service-related information,\" per a notice from Verizon.

\n

Account access also potentially enabled attackers to process\nunauthorized SIM card changes on prepaid lines. Also known as SIM\nswapping, unauthorized SIM card changes can allow for the transfer of an\nunsuspecting person\'s phone number to another phone.

\n

From there, the counterfeit phone can be used to receive SMS messages\nfor password resets and user identification verifications on other\naccounts, giving attackers potential access to any account they have, or\ncan guess, the username for. Consequently, Verizon recommended affected\ncustomers secure their non-Verizon accounts such as social media,\nfinancial, email and other accounts that allow for password resets by\nphone.

Tip not covered in my\nPodcast

\n

Splits are not fixed and can be adjusted. Once you\'ve split up clips\nand put them in the right order on the timeline you can still adjust the\ncut point even though you previously split the clip because the clip is\nreferenced to the original file in the playlist.

\n

Introduction

\n

Hello and welcome Hacker Public Radio audience my name is Mr X\nwelcome to this podcast. As per usual I\'d like to start by thanking the\npeople at HPR for making this podcast possible. HPR is a Community led\npodcast provided by the community for the community that means you can\ncontribute to. The HPR team have gone to great deal of effort to\nsimplify and streamline the process of providing podcasts. There are\nmany ways to record an episode these days using phones tablets PCs and\nalike. The hardest barrier is sending in your first show. Don\'t get too\nhung up about quality, it\'s more important just to send something in.\nThe sound quality of some of my early shows wasn\'t very good. If I can\ndo it anyone can and you might just get hooked in the process.

\n

Well it\'s been almost a year since I\'ve sent in a show. Looking at\nthe HPR site my last episode was back in November 2021. I suspect like\nmany others life has become more complicated and I find I have much less\nspare time and because I have much less spare time I have much less time\nto pursue my hobbies and because of this I have less to speak about and\nbecause of this I have less time to record what I\'ve been doing and it\nall turns into to vicious circle. Fortunately I recently had some time\noff work and had a lovely holiday. During the holiday I ended up\nrecording some video which I decided I wanted to edit. I\'ve done some\nvideo editing in the past using various video editing packages. The best\nand most recent of which is shotcut.

\n

Specific details and\nequipment

\n

Video resolution 1920 x 1080, Codec h264 mpeg-4, Frame rate 30 frames\nper second.

\n

Computer Dell Optiplex 780. Fitted with 4 GB of internal RAM and\nonboard video graphics card.

\n

Shotcut version 22.06.23 Shotcut is a free open-source cross-platform\nvideo editor licenced under the GNU general public licence version\n3.0

\n

This episode will only cover basic shotcut video editing techniques.\nShotcut contains many advanced features and effects that will not be\ncovered in this episode. A lot of the workflow I’ll share with you today\nis intended to get around limitations imposed by my low spec PC

\n

I\'ll try my best to cover the video editing process in this podcast\nusing words alone; however I am conscious that an accompanying video\nwould make it easier to follow along.

\n

Shotcut workflow

\n

Start by creating a folder to hold all the required media files.\nAudio tracks and sound effects can be added to this folder later. Make\nsure all your video files are using the same frame rate in my case 30\nframes per second.

\n

Open each video file in VLC one at a time going through each video\nfile looking for the best portions of video. Make a note of where the\nbest portions of the video are by writing down the start and end points\nin minutes and seconds.

\n

I do this because the interface of VLC is more responsive than\nshortcut and the resolution of displayed video is far greater than the\npreview in shortcut. This makes it quicker and easier to find the best\nportions of video.

\n

Open shortcut and make sure the new project is set to the same frames\nper second as the media files you\'re working with, in my case 30 frames\nper second. You can check the frame rate of your project by looking at\nthe selected video mode in the new projects window. If you select\nautomatic it will ensure the project resolution and frame rate\nautomatically match that of your media files.

\n

Start by adding all the video files to the playlist, this can be done\nin a number of ways for example it can be done by clicking on the open\nfile button in the top toolbar or within the open files menu.\nAlternatively you can drag and drop files into the playlist. I find this\nto be the easiest way to add media files to a project. Once this is done\nsave your project.

\n

Drag the first file from the Playlist to the timeline making sure\nthat the start of the video starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Click on the timeline in the position where the first start point of\ninterest is needed. Use the S key to split the video at this point.\nDon\'t worry about being too accurate as this can be moved at a later\nstage.

\n

Repeat this process for the end point of interest.

\n

Repeat this again for all the other sections of start and end points\nof interest.

\n

Remove the unwanted sections of video by clicking on a section then\nhitting the delete key. This will remove the unwanted section leaving an\nempty space behind.

\n

Once all the unwanted sections are removed click on the sections of\nvideo and pull them to the left to close the gaps up. I find it useful\nto leave some space between the good sections of video as it makes it\neasier to see where splits are and makes it easier later on to rearrange\nthe order of the individual clips.

\n

Check the start and end points of the remaining sections of video to\nsee that the start and end points stop in the correct place. You can do\nthis by clicking the play button on the preview window. The video start\nand end points can be adjusted by dragging the section left or right in\nin the timeline section; this is where leaving spaces Between each\nsection of video can be handy as it allows for fine tuning.

\n

Add a new blank video track to the timeline to hold the next video.\nNote this wasn\'t required when adding the first video track but it is\nneeded for each subsequent track. A video track can be added by right\nclicking on an empty portion of the timeline and selecting add video\ntrack. Alternatively use the ctrl + I key.

\n

Drag your second video from the playlist onto the newly created blank\nvideo track in the timeline. As before make sure that the start of the\nvideo starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Before previewing any section of the second video track click the\nsmall eye shaped hide icon in the left section of the first video track\nlabelled output. This will prevent previewing both video tracks at the\nsame time.

\n

Repeat the process above of chopping the second video track into\nsections using the S key to split the video up. Remove the unwanted\nsections. Finally adjust the start and end points of the remaining\nsections.

\n

Repeat the steps above to add the remaining video files one at a time\nfrom the playlist to the timeline.

\n

When complete you end up with separate video tracks in the timeline\neach containing good sections of video.

\n

At this stage I can\'t be too specific about how to continue as there\nare a number of different options depending on your particular Project.\nYou can for example start by combining the good sections of video into\none video track by dragging them from one track to another then add if\nrequired an audio track or you can add the audio track first and then\ntry to sync things up to the audio track moving bits and pieces of video\ninto one video track remembering to hide the unwanted sections of video\nby clicking on the small hide eye icons. Don\'t do too much editing\nwithout saving the project. If you get a message about low memory save\nthe project then reopen it.

\n

To export the final video click on the export button in the toolbar.\nI pick the default option, this creates an H.264/AAC MP4 file suitable\nfor most users and purposes. You can check the frame rate is the same as\nyour original media files by clicking on the advanced tab. Click the\nexport file button and give it a file name. It may take some time to\ncreate the export file. This will be dependent on the speed of your\ncomputer and the length and resolution of your project.

\n

While Shotcut is far from perfect on my puny PC it is surprisingly\nusable and stable and is the best option I’ve found so far.

\n

Finally here are some general shotcut tips I have when doing video\nediting on a puny PC with limited ram, slow processor and built in\ngraphics card such as mine.

\n

General Tips\nwhen working with a low powered PC

\n

Close all open applications leaving only shortcut open this helps\nwith RAM usage

\n

Shortcut is surprisingly stable with a feeble PC such as mine. I\nwould still recommend saving your project regularly as it is quick and\nvery easy to do.

\n

If you get a message about running out of RAM then try not to do too\nmuch more editing before saving the project. Once saved close shotcut\nand then reopen it. The longer your project is and the higher your\nproject resolution the more RAM you will need.

\n

When you are about to export your final video save the project close\nshortcut reopen shotcut and immediately export your project as any\nprevious editing may be taking up precious ram.

\n

Be patient when clicking on the timeline to repositioned the play\nhead. Always wait for the preview window to update. This can sometimes\ntake a few seconds.

\n

When trying to sync video to audio you need to zoom in in quite a\nlong way before getting an audio preview. When doing this and moving the\nplay head you\'ll get a choppy version of the audio with this it is still\nperfectly possible to find the beat of the music allowing you to sync\nyour video to the music. If this doesn\'t seem to work for you then try\nzooming in closer.

\n

Ok that\'s about it for this podcast. Hope it wasn\'t too boring and it\nmade some sense. If you want to contact me I can be contacted at\nmrxathpr at googlemail.

What\nis Typosquatting and How Do Scammers Use it?

\n
    \n
  • Typosquatting, as an attack, uses modified or misspelled domain\nnames to trick users into visiting fraudulent websites; the heart of\nthis attack is domain name registration. Typosquatting is deployed by\nscammers to defraud unaware users. Attackers will attempt to: mimic\nlogin pages, redirect traffic, download malware, and extort users.

Two-factor and\nMultifactor Authentication.

\n
    \n

  • First, authentication. This is the process of verifying the\nvalidity of something; in our case, user credentials/identity. The most\ncommon way to authenticate is: USERNAME and PASSWORD.\nThis is just a single layer (single-factor authentication) and isn’t\nenough to discourage attackers.

    • \n

  • Second, 2FA (Two-factor Authentication). 2FA increases the\ndifficulty for attackers by providing users an additional layer of\nsecurity to accomplish authentication. Common 2FA methods are: TOTP/OTP\n(the One Time Password), Authenticator\nApplications (Bitwarden, KeePassXC,...), and Security Keys (Yubikey). This works similar to ATMs;\nto authenticate the user must provide both knowledge (account\nPIN) and a physical object (bank card).

    • \n

  • Last, but not least, MFA (Multifactor Authentication). Similar to\n2FA, MFA offers users security with the addition of biometrics\n(fingerprint scan, retina scan, facial recognition, and voice\nrecognition). Attackers must overcome the knowledge factor, Possession\nfactor, Inherence/Biometric factor, Time factor, and sometimes Location\nfactor.

  • Additional Information.\n
      \n
    • What is a \"Data\nBreach\"? A data breach is a security violation, in which sensitive,\nprotected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen,\naltered or used by an individual unauthorized to do so.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is \"Malware\"?\nMalware (a portmanteau for\nmalicious software) is any software intentionally designed to cause\ndisruption to a computer, server, client, or computer network, leak\nprivate information, gain unauthorized access to information or systems,\ndeprive access to information, or which unknowingly interferes with the\nuser\'s computer security and privacy.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is a \"Payload\"?\nIn the context of a computer virus or worm, the payload is the portion\nof the malware which performs malicious action; deleting data, sending\nspam or encrypting data. In addition to the payload, such malware also\ntypically has overhead code aimed at simply spreading itself, or\navoiding detection.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is \"Phishing\"?\nPhishing is a form of social engineering\nwhere attackers deceive people into revealing sensitive information or\ninstalling malware such as ransomware. Phishing\nattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and often transparently\nmirror the site being targeted, allowing the attacker to observe\neverything while the victim is navigating the site, and transverse any\nadditional security boundaries with the victim.
      \n
      • \n
    • Social\nengineering (security) In the context of information security,\nsocial engineering is the psychological\nmanipulation of people into performing actions or divulging\nconfidential information. A type of confidence trick for the purpose of\ninformation gathering, fraud, or system access, it differs from a\ntraditional \"con\" in that it is often one of many steps in a more\ncomplex fraud scheme.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is \"Information\nSecurity\" (InfoSec)? Information security, sometimes shortened to\nInfoSec, is the practice of protecting information by mitigating information risks. It\nis part of information risk\nmanagement.\n
        \n
      • Information Security Attributes: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (C.I.A.).\nInformation Systems are composed in three main portions, hardware,\nsoftware and communications with the purpose to help identify and apply\ninformation security industry standards, as mechanisms of protection and\nprevention, at three levels or layers: physical, personal and\norganizational. Essentially, procedures or policies are implemented to\ntell administrators, users and operators how to use products to ensure\ninformation security within the organizations.
        \n
        • \n
      • \n
    • What is \"Risk\nmanagement\"? Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and\nprioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical\napplication of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the\nprobability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the\nrealization of opportunities.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is a \"Vulnerability\"\n(computing)? Vulnerabilities are flaws in a computer system that\nweaken the overall security of the device/system. Vulnerabilities can be\nweaknesses in either the hardware itself, or the software that runs on\nthe hardware.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is an \"Attack\nSurface\"? The attack surface of a software environment is the sum of\nthe different points (for \"attack vectors\") where an unauthorized user\n(the \"attacker\") can try to enter data to or extract data from an\nenvironment. Keeping the attack surface as small as possible is a basic\nsecurity measure.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is an \"Attack\nVector\"? In computer security, an attack vector is a specific path,\nmethod, or scenario that can be exploited to break into an IT system,\nthus compromising its security. The term was derived from the\ncorresponding notion of vector in biology. An attack vector may be\nexploited manually, automatically, or through a combination of manual\nand automatic activity.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is\n\"Standardization\"? Standardization is the process of implementing\nand developing technical standards based on the consensus of different\nparties that include firms, users, interest groups, standards\norganizations and governments. Standardization can help maximize\ncompatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability, or quality. It\ncan also facilitate a normalization of formerly custom processes.\n
      • \n
    • What is a \"Replay\nattack\"? A replay attack is a form of network attack in which valid\ndata transmission is maliciously or fraudulently repeated or delayed.\nAnother way of describing such an attack is: \"an attack on a security\nprotocol using a replay of messages from a different context into the\nintended (or original and expected) context, thereby fooling the honest\nparticipant(s) into thinking they have successfully completed the\nprotocol run.\"
      \n
      • \n
    • What is a\n\"Man-in-the-middle attack\"? In cryptography and computer security, a\nman-in-the-middle, ..., attack is a cyberattack where the attacker\nsecretly relays and possibly alters the communications between two\nparties who believe that they are directly communicating with each\nother, as the attacker has inserted themselves between the two\nparties.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is \"Transport Layer\nSecurity\" (TLS)? Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic\nprotocol designed to provide communications security over a computer\nnetwork. The protocol is widely used in applications such as email,\ninstant messaging, and voice over IP, but its use in securing HTTPS\nremains the most publicly visible.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is a \"Handshake\"\n(computing)?. In computing, a handshake is a signal between two\ndevices or programs, used to, e.g., authenticate, coordinate. An example\nis the handshaking between a hypervisor and an application in a guest\nvirtual machine.
      \n
      • \n
    • What is Security\ntheater? The practice of taking security measures that are\nconsidered to provide the feeling of improved security while doing\nlittle or nothing to achieve it.

TIL 2 - the French word\nfor piggy bank

\n

I watch a YouTube channel from a Canadian woodworker who produces\nEnglish and French versions of his episodes. His latest one is about\nmaking a wooden piggy bank, or tirelire in French.

\n

I learnt French at school (though I wasn\'t much good at it), but have\nnever come across this word. My questions are:

\n
    \n
  • Where does it come from?
    • \n
  • How do you say it?

TIL 3 - how to\npronounce IPA coded words

\n

I actually learnt about this a while ago, but I thought now would be\na good time to share.

\n

The IPA form of tirelire is /tiʁ.liʁ/ (I\nincluded the enclosing slash delimiters which aren\'t part of the IPA but\nhave significance; see the IPA Wikipedia page for details). I have seen\nthese symbols for years but have never managed to decode them\nreliably.

\n

A few months ago I wondered how to deal with them reliably (and\neasily). There are many sites offering to transcribe English (and other\nlanguages) to IPA, a few of which are free. I only found one that would\nattempt to speak IPA, and that is IPA\nReader.

\n

Paste the IPA into the form, select a reader voice, and click \"Read\".\nSome of the voices seem a bit odd. I settled on \"Brian\" for British\nEnglish, and it seems fine.
