google-authenticator-libpam is a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) that adds one-time passcodes to Unix and Linux logins using open OATH standards. It plugs into PAM stacks for services like SSH, su, or desktop display managers, prompting users for a time-based (TOTP) or counter-based (HOTP) code after their password. A lightweight enrollment program bootstraps each account by generating a secret, printing a QR code, and writing per-user configuration with safe file permissions. Because...

...The framework provides mechanisms to let programs communicate with each other and trade their resources, but only in strictly-defined manners. Thanks to this rigid regime, the attack surface of security-critical functions can be reduced by orders of magnitude compared to contemporary operating systems.

...Wi-PWN is a firmware that performs death attacks on cheap Arduino boards. The ESP8266 is a cheap microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi. It contains a powerful 160 MHz processor and it can be programmed using Arduino. A deauthentication attack is often confused with Wi-Fi jamming, as they both block users from accessing Wi-Fi networks. The 802.11 Wi-Fi protocol contains a so-called deauthentication frame. It is used to disconnect clients safely from a wireless network. Because these management packets are unencrypted, you just need the MAC to address of the Wi-Fi router and of the client device which you want to disconnect from the network. ...

There is a reason this project holds no code. chaOS41 is a cryptocurrency with reality binding. A given value of money was paid for a surface area the size of a flower pot. It was out of proportion. The chaoOS41 currency corrects that. It binds its value to reality. Its unit value is a ratio between money and land area.. When that ratio normalizes, the currency becomes available to the public. 1 more developer is wanted. For that you need inside access, which means...
