Linux Font Equivalents to Popular Web Typefaces

by 2 others
I have written before about my admiration for Web typography, and in that article I touched on the fact that many “Web safe” fonts can’t be applied to Linux. Linux distributions each ship with their own font libraries, but I’d like to focus on similar typefaces you can use within a font-family to help make your design bulletproof.

Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys - Center for information technology policy

Contrary to popular assumption, DRAMs used in most modern computers retain their contents for seconds to minutes after power is lost, even at operating temperatures and even if removed from a motherboard. Although DRAMs become less reliable when they are not refreshed, they are not immediately erased, and their contents persist sufficiently for malicious (or forensic) acquisition of usable full-system memory images. We show that this phenomenon limits the ability of an operating system to protect cryptographic key material from an attacker with physical access. We use cold reboots to mount attacks on popular disk encryption systems — BitLocker, FileVault, dm-crypt, and TrueCrypt — using no special devices or materials. We experimentally characterize the extent and predictability of memory remanence and report that remanence times can be increased dramatically with simple techniques. We offer new algorithms for finding cryptographic keys in memory images and for correcting errors caused by bit decay. Though we discuss several strategies for partially mitigating these risks, we know of no simple remedy that would eliminate them.

Commonsense Computing @ Media

The MIT Media Lab has embarked on an effort to give computers and other modern devices "common sense", the capacity to understand and reason about the world as intimately as people do. By giving machines common sense, they will finally be able to understand people, our goals and typical problems, and they will be able to better assist us in solving them or coming to terms with them--thus simplifying and humanizing the technology and tools of the digital age.

DNS2TCP

Dns2tcp est un outil permettant d'encapsuler des sessions TCP dans des paquets DNS. Aucun pilote spécifique, tel que TUN/TAP, n'est nécessaire pour le faire fonctionner. Ceci permet de le différencier des outils classiques qui encapsulent IP dans DNS. De plus, le client ne nécessite pas de droit particulier pour être lancé. L'encapsulation TCP génère des paquets DNS plus petits autorisant ainsi des débits plus importants.

Digital Security and Privacy for Human Rights Defenders

This publication is dedicated to all human rights defenders, continuing their difficult and honest work, also on the Internet. Some of these people are in prison due to their activities on the Internet. Mohammed Abbou is serving a 3,5 year prison term in Tunisia for publishing online an article that compared Tunisian prisons to Abu Ghraib.

LE CORPS DES FEMMES : GESTION - ÉLIMINATION

Pour chaque être humain, et pour l’humanité elle-même, le corps est le premier ustensile (avant l’outil fabriqué), dont les usages, érotisme compris, sont objets de savoir et de culture. Dans les sociétés patriarcales, le corps des femmes est objet de plaisir et de pouvoir ; objet aussi terrifiant qu’il est fascinant, d’emploi malaisé et aléatoire. Le présent chapitre évoque certaines variations récentes, à l’échelle historique, de l’usage social des femmes, de la contention à la prostitution en passant par la médicalisation de l’orgasme et l’éducation sexuelle, jusqu’à la tentation « gynécidaire ».

Bug Labs: Products

BUG is a collection of easy-to-use electronic modules that snap together to build any gadget you can imagine. Each BUGmodule represents a specific gadget function (ex: a camera, a keyboard, a video output, etc). You decide which functions to include and BUG takes care of the rest letting you try out different combinations quickly and easily. With BUG and the integrated programming environment/web community (BUGnet), anyone can build, program and share innovative devices and applications. We don't define the final products - you do.

GODS of Japan, A-to-Z Photo Dictionary of Japanese Buddhism (Buddhist & Shinto Deities)

After moving to Kamakura in 1993, I became intrigued by the many deities and faces of Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism. There are dozens of temples and shrines near my home, many dating from the 8th to 13th centuries, many open to the public. There are now 2,000 photos in this library, ranging from the treasures of Kamakura to those of Nara, Kyoto, and elsewhere in Japan.
