EchoStrike: Generate undetectable reverse shells, perform process injection
EchoStrike is an open-source tool designed to generate undetectable reverse shells and execute process injection on Windows systems. “EchoStrike allows you to generate binaries that, when executed, create an undetectable RevShell, which can be.....»»
Printed engines propel the next industrial revolution
In the fall of 2023, NASA hot fire tested an aluminum 3D printed rocket engine nozzle. Aluminum is not typically used for 3D printing because the process causes it to crack, and its low melting point makes it a challenging material for rocket engines.....»»
Study highlights role of computational biology in microbial community design
How can computer models help design microbial communities? A research team comprising members from Aachen, Düsseldorf and East Lansing/U.S. examined the development perspectives of so-called synthetic biology. In an article published in the journal.....»»
Elucidating the mechanism underlying de novo membrane formation during gametogenesis
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have meticulously examined the gametogenesis of budding yeast, a process involving meiosis and spore formation, using live imaging techniques. Their findings reveal that during sporulation, the endoplasmic reticul.....»»
AI-based technique speeds up the analysis of fossils
Queensland Museum and James Cook University scientists are using AI to unlock the mysteries of our fossil past. The scientists have developed an AI-based technique that has sped up the analysis of fossils, taking a months-long process to just days. T.....»»
AI ruling on jobless claims could make mistakes courts can’t undo, experts warn
Nevada’s plan to let AI rule on unemployment claims is risky, experts warn. Enlarge (credit: Westend61 | Westend61) Nevada will soon become the first state to use AI to help speed up the decision-making process when ru.....»»
Researchers develop innovative method to simplify manufacturing process of cellular ceramic
A study led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an innovative method that overcomes the limitations of traditional additive manufacturing (3D printing), significantly simplifying an.....»»
Shallow waters make the best carbon sinks, researchers find
Marine phytoplankton take up atmospheric carbon and carry it to the seafloor when they die and sink (a process known as organic carbon sedimentation). This biological carbon pump is a powerful part of Earth's carbon cycle, yet scientists don't have a.....»»
Chemical chameleon reveals novel pathway for separating rare-earth metals
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a chemical "chameleon" that could improve the process used to purify rare-earth metals used in clean energy, medical and national security applications......»»
Why do materials get stronger when they are deformed? Research sheds light on universal mechanisms of work hardening
The earliest blacksmiths in the Bronze and Iron Ages figured out that when they deformed metal through bending or hammering, it became stronger. This process, known as work or strain hardening, is still used widely in metallurgy and manufacturing tod.....»»
iPhone Diary: Apple likely to sell me an iPhone 16 Pro Max for two reasons
I didn’t always upgrade my iPhone every year. That process started with the iPhone X, but it has continued since then, and it’s generally been the camera features which have parted me from my money. The iPhone 16 Pro Max doesn’t seem like it.....»»
Plant thermogenesis has played key role in attracting pollinating insects for at least 200 million years, study suggests
Thermogenesis is a process by which organisms generate internal heat. Although it is usually associated with animals, some plants have also developed this ability. This metabolic process allows certain parts of the plant, such as flowers and inflores.....»»
A window into the body: New technique makes skin invisible
Researchers have developed a new way to see organs within a body by rendering overlying tissues transparent to visible light. The counterintuitive process—a topical application of food-safe dye—was reversible in tests with animal subjects, and ma.....»»
Nanostructures enable on-chip lightwave-electronic frequency mixer
Imagine how a phone call works: Your voice is converted into electronic signals, shifted up to higher frequencies, transmitted over long distances, and then shifted back down so it can be heard clearly on the other end. The process enabling this shif.....»»
Apple rolls out ninth developer beta for vision OS 2
Apple has unusually issued one of its ninth-round developer betas earlier than the rest, with a new build of visionOS 2 now testable.Apple Vision Pro, used to run visionOS. Apple's beta-testing process typically involves a batch of updates being test.....»»
