A team of security researchers has discovered a new set of techniques that could allow hackers to bypass all kind of present mitigations put in place to prevent DMA-based Rowhammer attacks against Android devices. Dubbed RAMpage, the new technique (CVE-2018-9442) could re-enable an unprivileged Android app running on the victim’s device to take advantage from the previously disclosed Drammer

Machine learning platforms are not the wave of the future. It’s happening now. Developers need to know how and when to harness their power. Working within the ML landscape while using the right tools like Filestack can make it easier for developers to create a productive algorithm that taps into its power. The following machine learning platforms and tools — listed in no certain order — are available now as resources to seamlessly integrate the power of ML into daily tasks.

1. H2O

H2O was designed for the Python, R, and Java programming languages by H2O.ai. By using these familiar languages, this open source software makes it easy for developers to apply both predictive analytics and machine learning to a variety of situations. Available on Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems, H2O provides developers with the tools they need to analyze data sets in the Apache Hadoop file systems as well as those in the cloud.

Exactis, une entreprise de marketing et d’agrégation de données basée en Floride, a involontairement publié sa base de données contenant environ 340 millions d’enregistrements individuels sur un serveur accessible au public (pour comparaison – la population américaine était de 325,7 millions en 2017).

Selon une étude menée par le conseil norvégien des consommateurs, Facebook et Google ne se montrent pas vraiment respectueux de l’esprit du RGPD dans la façon dont ils implémentent ses directives.

In 2017, there were reports on how the world’s leading robotics and artificial intelligence pioneers called on the United Nations to ban the development and use of killer robots and weapons such as drones, tanks, and automated machine guns. A group of 116 specialists from across 26 countries led by Tesla’s Elon Musk and Alphabet’s Mustafa Suleyman had called a ban on autonomous weapons. This proves that even the big guns in automation are worried about robots running amok in the war field!

Almost a year back, even Facebook had abandoned an experiment after two artificially intelligent programs started interacting with each other in a strange language only they understood. Ensuring a stringent surveillance and monitoring plan is one of the key focus areas for any Artificial Intelligence (AI) related activity or applications. All these inventions closely impact our regular routine and peaceful coexistence. Hence, if anything goes wrong, it can probably endanger lives or our well-being in some way. Cybersecurity is as well a perspective to look at the ongoing boom around AI. What you need is a robust Quality Assurance and Testing plan!

Current Challenges (Use Case)

I am a cloud architect and an API developer. I have seen these frequent issues in API development during the development phase. Currently, Dev/QA environment is impacted by frequent third-party APIs outages and other service environment issues. It affects Dev/QA teams productivity and happens often, which stops all the development and testing work. There is a need for a mocking API server, which will sync with the main 3rd party servers (service provider) and cache the API response periodically on the mock server for Dev/QA environment. So, when 3rd party REST API services are down then dev and testing work won’t be impacted on Dev/QA servers.

Objective

This tutorial will cover installation and usage of Wiremock for using open source WireMock. The objective of using WireMock is to use as a backup mock server in the failover/outage of the actual REST APIs.
