Meet Drone Shield, an ambitious idea for a $70 drone detection system

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/05/meet-drone-shield-an-ambitious-idea-… Meet Drone Shield, an ambitious idea for a $70 drone detection system Aerospace engineer wants to scan for audio signatures of flying robots. by Cyrus Farivar - May 2 2013, 1:30am WEDT HARDWARE Drone Shield On Tuesday, an ambitious aerospace engineer from Washington, DC began seeking donations on Indiegogo to create an b open-source drone detection system.b The Drone Shield would combine a Raspberry Pi, a signal processor, a microphone, and analysis software to scan for specific audio signatures and compare them against what known drones sound like (because obviously a Predator drone is going to sound very different from a small quadcopter.) Once a match is found, the Drone Shield then sends an e-mail or SMS to its owner. As of this writing, the campaign is only closing in on one-tenth of its goal with $301 out $3,500 raised. John Franklin, the projectbs organizer, believes it would cost around $60 to $70 to make one, but hebs hoping to raise funds from other privacy-minded citizens like himself. He notes the idea here is to counter the rising use of drones not only in foreign theaters of war, but also in domestic skies. "I'm a problem solver and I'm trying to gauge if this is a problem that people are interested in solving,b he told Ars. b The idea here is that it becomes an open-source thing and people could contribute their own signatures.b Franklin estimated it probably would take b about $100 and two monthsb to figure out if the idea would work. There are other anti-drone tactics and devices out there, but none quite as cheap as this onebassuming it functions as advertised. Not all experts are convinced. "It would be theoretically feasible," said Chris Kyriakakis, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California with expertise in acoustic signal processing. "A lot of problems to solve, however, to make that happen. [It's] not clear if a single mic would sufficebmost likely [you] would need a mic array. Noise mitigation would be another huge problem. Yes, there are dozens of feature extraction approaches that would work theoretically, but none that I have seen be effective in the presence of additive or convolutive noise." Franklin acknowledged that the device wonbt be 100 percent perfect. He also told Ars that the system would be based on existing publicly available documents, such as this 1997-era research paper from the Army Research Laboratory entitled: "Acoustic Feature Extraction for a Neural Network Classifier" (PDF). But again, his goal is an open-sourced device that an audience can build upon and improve. If the interest is there, hopefully the implementation will be too. b This project is yet another indicator of the fact that there is very strong and widespread sentiment on the ground about dronesband itbs one of tremendous skepticism,b wrote Linda Lye, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, in an e-mail to Ars.

Something fun to fret about: the robot itself is a tiny little thing, barely larger than a US cent. http://images.sciencedaily.com/2013/05/130502142649.jpg >From the article: > the next steps will involve integrating the parallel work of many > different research teams who are working on the brain, the colony > coordination behavior, the power source, and so on, until the robotic > insects are fully autonomous and wireless. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/05/130502142649.htm What they did not mention is that you could outfit one of these little robots with some kind of poison dart, bringing us much closer to our hunter-seeker than I had anticipated. We are basically there now, assuming these things aren't too noisy.

Gecko/20130328 Thunderbird/17.0.5 Reply-To: Tahoe-LAFS development <tahoe-dev(a)tahoe-lafs.org> ANNOUNCING Tahoe, the Least-Authority File System, v1.10 The Tahoe-LAFS team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 1.10.0 of Tahoe-LAFS, an extremely reliable distributed storage system. Get it here: https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/ in the following files (along with their SHA256 hashes): allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0.tar.bz2 (9c5516700fe95fdf8c57eca1e2a7b4aebf2de9a4d327d50afd684ebf833ccfe2) allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0.tar.gz (8ea144b8fd293390c6d3ddee54ebc8144b0d0ab81752116402da8af12df341cf) allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0.zip (5c36eef5ad0d68a9efe4043eb425659acb74a26f66fc4a3d7e281331cb614129) There are also -SUMO variants (which include all necessary dependencies). All files are signed by the Tahoe-LAFS Release-Signing Key, fingerprint E34E 62D0 6D0E 69CF CA41 79FF BDE0 D31D 6866 6A7A (look for detached .asc files next to the tarballs in the directory above). Instructions for download and installation are in: https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/quickstart.rst Tahoe-LAFS is the first distributed storage system to offer "provider-independent security" b meaning that not even the operators of your storage servers can read or alter your data without your consent. Here is the one-page explanation of its unique security and fault-tolerance properties: https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/about.rst The previous stable release of Tahoe-LAFS was v1.9.2, released on July 3, 2012. v1.10.0 is a feature release which adds a new Introducer protocol, improves the appearance of the web-based user interface, improves grid security by making introducer FURLs unguessable, and fixes many bugs. See the NEWS file [1] for details. WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? With Tahoe-LAFS, you distribute your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire filesystem continues to work correctly, and continues to preserve your privacy and security. You can easily share specific files and directories with other people. In addition to the core storage system itself, volunteers have built other projects on top of Tahoe-LAFS and have integrated Tahoe-LAFS with existing systems, including Windows, JavaScript, iPhone, Android, Hadoop, Flume, Django, Puppet, bzr, mercurial, perforce, duplicity, TiddlyWiki, and more. See the Related Projects page on the wiki [3]. We believe that strong cryptography, Free and Open Source Software, erasure coding, and principled engineering practices make Tahoe-LAFS safer than RAID, removable drive, tape, on-line backup or cloud storage. This software is developed under test-driven development, and there are no known bugs or security flaws which would compromise confidentiality or data integrity under recommended use. (For all important issues that we are currently aware of please see the known_issues.rst file [2].) COMPATIBILITY This release should be compatible with the version 1 series of Tahoe-LAFS. Clients from this release can write files and directories in the format used by clients of all versions back to v1.0 (which was released March 25, 2008). Clients from this release can read files and directories produced by clients of all versions since v1.0. Servers from this release can serve clients of all versions back to v1.0 and clients from this release can use servers of all versions back to v1.0. Except for the new optional MDMF format, we have not made any intentional compatibility changes. However we do not yet have the test infrastructure to continuously verify that all new versions are interoperable with previous versions. We intend to build such an infrastructure in the future. The new Introducer protocol added in v1.10 is backwards compatible with older clients and introducer servers, however some features will be unavailable when an older node is involved. Please see docs/nodekeys.rst [14] for details. This is the eighteenth release in the version 1 series. This series of Tahoe-LAFS will be actively supported and maintained for the foreseeable future, and future versions of Tahoe-LAFS will retain the ability to read and write files compatible with this series.

Stahlman's is a pretty good critique of Eric Schmidt's and Jared Cohen's "The New Digital Age," which features exemplar Internet successes, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple. And blurbed enthusiastically in advance by Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Henry Kissinger, General Michael Hayden, Madeleine Albright, Walter Isaacson, Robert B. Zoellick, Michael Bloomberg, Brent Scowcroft, Richard Branson, et al. <http://newdigitalage.com/a/praise.html>http://newdigitalage.com/a/praise.html It envisions the entire earth hynptized by cellphones and personal media, overturning tyrants, advancing democracy, swarming public discourse, and caring not at all about tech-wealth accumulation and bountiful cooperation with global spy agencies. "If you have nothing to hide, forget about privacy."
