Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!
Things of Note

Hmm. Spent a chunk of today working out that a client's CoAP server was being used as an amplification service as part of a DDoS network 😞 The server wasn't (AFAICT) compromised, just being used to turn ~60 byte attack packets into ~540 byte attack packets, as well as presumably spreading out the attacking traffic's route through the Internet. https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-mattsson-t2trg-amplification-attacks-01.html goes into more depth, if anyone wants further background. #CoAP #security #DDoS #IoT #weeknotes

Sunday 14 July, 2:00pm-5:00pm Plastic Playgroup (DoES Workshop)
In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let’s get our spades out and shift the balance.Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses … pedalos?Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don’t know – let’s figure it out! Two rules: 1. No Objectives – this is an aimless and wandering session.2. Bring Your Own Initiative – this is an active session and we’ll help you get creative.
Every two weeks on a Sunday afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm.Facilitated by Plastic Tactics – follow on social for the latest updates, and to see what we make if you can’t be here in person:
