LoRa Trough 8 Floors – Using 100 mA

Posted on November 27, 2018 by Tero Karvinen

My student Tatu Erkinjuntti sent LoRa radio transmissions. His device can send messages trough eight concrete floors with minimal power consumption.

He is using ESP32 with an external LoRa module, programmed with Arduino IDE. Power consumption during transmission is just 100 mA at 7.5 V. By using deep sleep between transmissions, Tatu can use even less power. He is also making a water resistant enclosure and testing batteries for use in sub-zero temperatures.

Use "PCnet-Fast III" Network Adapter in VirtualBox – Prevent virtualbox_e1000_0day Attack

Posted on November 8, 2018 by Tero Karvinen

Use “PCnet-Fast III” network adapter in VirtualBox to prevent guest-to-host attack.

MorteNoir1 published a guest-to-host escape from Virtualbox as a zero day attack. He named it virtualbox_e1000_0day. It seems that you can easily protect against the attack by using a virtual network card other than the default e1000.
Update: Windows 10 guests don’t seem to support PCnet-Fast III. Using any virtual network adapter other than e1000 could mitigate the attack.
