You basically use your binoculars (in Tech View) to look at a machine, and when it is highlighted you will see which button to push to hack it. It also gives a percentage of the chance you have at hacking it, as it will not work every single time.
Not so much in its current function, flat line 10% - 20% chance to hack Tanks is really poor. I have got lucky couple of times, and then you just watch the tank walk around 40 seconds how long the maximum hack lasts. (compare to marksman or vanguard, those skills are on all times)
If it would trigger instant attack and missile & machine gun fire to other robots, then it would be some what good. But even sometimes hacking Runner in middle of robot pack. It might take 0-20 seconds before something happens, if happens.
I would change the hacking time based how long you keep target in sight and keep hacking it, % chance would go up. Different robots require different times, so to say hack % would crow slower. And robots have same % to detect your hack and attack.
So there would be some risk vs. reward element, not just OP instant easy win button hack.
I have to say it is a bit usefull if you hack runners and use the confusion to get yourself into a better position. But hacking tanks or harvesters is just a waste of time. I described it in my post. It was very disappointing.
However, sometimes hackers or malicious actors spot the vulnerability before the software developers do. While the vulnerability is still open, attackers can write and implement a code to take advantage of it. This is known as exploit code.
When a vulnerability becomes known, the developers try to patch it to stop the attack. However, security vulnerabilities are often not discovered straight away. It can sometimes take days, weeks, or even months before developers identify the vulnerability that led to the attack. And even once a zero-day patch is released, not all users are quick to implement it. In recent years, hackers have been faster at exploiting vulnerabilities soon after discovery.
Zero-day attacks are especially dangerous because the only people who know about them are the attackers themselves. Once they have infiltrated a network, criminals can either attack immediately or sit and wait for the most advantageous time to do so.
Organizations that are attacked by a zero-day exploit might see unexpected traffic or suspicious scanning activity originating from a client or service. Some of the zero-day detection techniques include:
This attack focused on local escalation privileges, a vulnerable part of Microsoft Windows, and targeted government institutions in Eastern Europe. The zero-day exploit abused a local privilege vulnerability in Microsoft Windows to run arbitrary code and install applications and view and change the data on compromised applications. Once the attack was identified and reported to the Microsoft Security Response Center, a patch was developed and rolled out.
This zero-day exploit compromised personal bank accounts. Victims were people who unwittingly opened a malicious Word document. The document displayed a "load remote content" prompt, showing users a pop-up window that requested external access from another program. When victims clicked "yes," the document installed malware on their device, which was able to capture banking log-in credentials.
One of the most famous examples of a zero-day attack was Stuxnet. First discovered in 2010 but with roots that spread back to 2005, this malicious computer worm affected manufacturing computers running programmable logic controller (PLC) software. The primary target was Iran's uranium enrichment plants to disrupt the country's nuclear program. The worm infected the PLCs through vulnerabilities in Siemens Step7 software, causing the PLCs to carry out unexpected commands on assembly-line machinery. The story of Stuxnet was subsequently made into a documentary called Zero Days.
Keep all software and operating systems up to date. This is because the vendors include security patches to cover newly identified vulnerabilities in new releases. Keeping up to date ensures you are more secure.
Use only essential applications. The more software you have, the more potential vulnerabilities you have. You can reduce the risk to your network by using only the applications you need.
Use a firewall. A firewall plays an essential role in protecting your system against zero-day threats. You can ensure maximum protection by configuring it to allow only necessary transactions.
Within organizations, educate users. Many zero-day attacks capitalize on human error. Teaching employees and users good safety and security habits will help keep them safe online and protect organizations from zero-day exploits and other digital threats.

Im always bumping the machine off of my X Y mark while changing bits and its a crap shoot trying to get it back on point. I got thinking (which is kind of dangerous). I got a piece of rigid aluminum, a 4mm cap head screw, a wire holder, a can of black paint, and a laser pen. Once set up you can set Zero and mark where the laser pen hits your waste board or your corner piece you set up on top of the waste board.
So if you home the machine ($H) then jog to your intended work zero / G28/G30 positions before assigning those, these positions are persistently stored, relative to machine zero. They do not change unless you re-assign a new position.
I've tried Xulong Extension board for Orange Pi Zero and found it useless waste of my money. Almost two months ago I've decided to make my own hacking shield which allows me much more in terms of control and peripherals.
Now I'm in progress making peripherals accessible to the system and user. Userspace tools for python/node/C works and later I will publish tutorial (or more than one) how to make it (because it is not clear to me and take huge amount of time).
Christopher Mohr analyzes the opportunities and hacking and other risks of incorporating machine learning into military logistics and identifies legal and security gaps that make incorporation difficult.
Mohr begins by providing background on artificial intelligence and machine learning and describes how these tools can improve military logistics. Mohr also identifies types of cyberattacks that states and non-state actors can use to interfere with such tools.
Mohr then analyzes gaps in the civil legal framework, focusing on the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations and Defense Trade Secrets Act, which create civil liability for some hackers and require defense contractors to implement cybersecurity measures. However, Mohr notes how both regimes are not adequate for guarding against attacks against machine learning systems.
Criminal legal frameworks are analyzed, primarily the Electronic Communication Privacy Act and Computer Frad and Abuse Act. Mohr recognizes gaps in the regime that would make deterring, prosecuting, and investigating hacks of machine learning systems challenging.
But while the record-setting number grabs attention, it can be hard to know what it tells us. Does it mean there are more zero-days being used than ever? Or are defenders better at catching the hackers they would have previously missed?
At the top of the food chain are the government-sponsored hackers. China alone is suspected to be responsible for nine zero-days this year, says Jared Semrau, a director of vulnerability and exploitation at the American cybersecurity firm FireEye Mandiant. The US and its allies clearly possess some of the most sophisticated hacking capabilities, and there is rising talk of using those tools more aggressively.
Companies like Microsoft and CrowdStrike are among those that run detection efforts on a massive scale. Where old tools, such as antivirus software, meant fewer eyeballs on strange activity, today a large company can catch a small anomaly across millions of machines and then trace it back to the zero-day that was used to get in.
The reality is a lot messier than the theory, however. Earlier this year, multiple hacking groups launched offensives against Microsoft Exchange email servers. What started as a critical zero-day attack briefly became even worse in the period after a fix became available but before it was actually applied to users. That gap is a sweet spot hackers love to hit.
A mysterious hacking group has deployed at least 11 zero-day vulnerabilities as part of a sustained hacking operation that took place over the course of 2020 and targeted Android, iOS, and Windows users alike, one of Google's security teams said today.
These exploit servers contained chains of vulnerabilities bound together in so-called exploit chains. Different bugs in the exploit chain allowed the attackers to gain an initial temporary foothold on a user's device, escape the browser's sandbox security container, and then elevate privileges on the underlying OS to gain a permanent presence.
"The vulnerabilities cover a fairly broad spectrum of issues - from a modern JIT vulnerability to a large cache of font bugs. Overall each of the exploits themselves showed an expert understanding of exploit development and the vulnerability being exploited," said Maddie Stone, a member of the Google Project Zero team.

I am working on refactoring some old code and have found few structs containing zero length arrays (below). Warnings depressed by pragma, of course, but I've failed to create by "new" structures containing such structures (error 2233). Array 'byData' used as pointer, but why not to use pointer instead? or array of length 1? And of course, no comments were added to make me enjoy the process... Any causes to use such thing? Any advice in refactoring those?
