The MIFARE Hack

The MIFARE Classic is the most popular RFID chip, used in public transport as well as cafeterias and other applications. This paper gives an overview of which methods were used to re-engineer the chips, from polishing to analyzing the communication. Within this process, various security weaknesses were discovered. Those allow various attacks, which will be shown in the last part of the paper.

MINING: EPA Tackles Fracking

Loopless nontrapping invasion-percolation model for fracking.

Recent developments in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) have enabled the recovery of large quantities of natural gas and oil from old, low-permeability shales. These developments include a change from low-volume, high-viscosity fluid injection to high-volume, low-viscosity injection. The injected fluid introduces distributed damage that provides fracture permeability for the extraction of the ga...

Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack

Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans.
