I just walked out of room 716 at SecTor here in Toronto, where I shared details on my Raspberry Pi Pico project. I’m happy that I was finally able to share this and even happier to announce that the GitHub repo is now open to the public. I won’t walk you through the code, but you can […]… Read More

Last year, it was great to be back at SecTor after everything was canceled in 2020. The capacity was reduced, but the Hack Lab was still plenty busy and we loved having everyone come by and visit our table and play with the gear. Even more than that, we were excited to meet up with […]… Read More

I’m excited to share that I will be speaking at SecTor this year in the tools track. While the SecTor schedule is not yet finalized, I’m currently listed as speaking at 10:15am on October 6th. The talk, The Power of the Pico: Replacing Expensive Toys with the Raspberry Pi Pico, will cover how to use […]… Read More

As bots are buying all the Raspberry Pi systems available in the market, Adafruit, an online retailer of Raspberry Pi single-board computers, has implemented a 2-factor authentication for all the purchases made for the new hardware from this Monday.

Sources from Adafruit have stated that they have witnessed an unusual pattern of buying of machines, suspected to have been made by computers as they 1GB,2GB,4GB, and 8GB Raspberry’s are already sold out suspiciously.

Therefore, the company has offered dedicated customer care to investigate the online purchases of the computing devices made over the past 2 months.

And will now on implement a verified account purchase against orders made for high demand Raspberry Pi Units.

Meanwhile, a report released by security experts from Cybersecurity firm Bulletproof states that all Raspberry Pi users using Linux operating system should change their default passwords as there is a possibility that they can be hijacked through bots.

Over 200,000 machines running on Linux and Raspberry Pi OS were operating with default credentials. And if the users do not change such credentials, then they can be hacked at any moment.

NOTE- Founded in April 2012 by Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi is being used in applications such as weather monitoring, retro gaming, media usage, print servers, time-lapse cameras, FM Radio stations, robot controlling machines, drone control systems, AI-driven cameras and almost all smart-home devices of today’s generation.
