Finish packaging Angr in OBS a project by a_faerber Following a FOSDEM presentation on Angr for binary analysis, I started packaging it in OBS. We've made progress on getting many missing Python dependencies into Tumbleweed already; remaining ones including claripy and angr itself. Updated about 2 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.
Out-of-the-box SPD support an invention by jdelvare In order to see the SPD (detailed memory information) data, the user currently has to manually load the needed kernel driver. Which driver to load depends on the memory type. Depending on the driver user, the devices may even have to be instantiated manually and this is a non-trivial multi-step task. Plus you need to be root to do it. I would like to attempt to automatize all this at least in the most common and simple cases like Intel x86 desktop. The idea would be to figure out the memory type and the I2C address of the SPD EEPROMs based on DMI data. If the DMI data is of good quality then it should be possible to automatically figure out which driver to use and to instantiate the devices at boot time.

Rados backend for NVMe a project by hreinecke Goal is to implement a rados backend in drivers/nvme/target. That will allow the NVMe target implementation to directly access Rados objects (ie export RADOS objects as namespaces), allowing third-party applications and/or OS to use NVMe-over-Fabrics to access a ceph cluster.

Software development with the help of Kubernetes a project by DKarakasilis or how to replace `git push heroku master` and `cf push` with Kubernetes PaaS has made deployment of applications very easy. Kubernetes has made deployment of applications very flexible but not easy. There are efforts to add the "easy" part to Kubernetes. That would make Kubernetes a good alternative to PaaS. With so many public cloud Kubernetes offerings nowadays, it would be nice if one could simply pick up their preferred cloud and have an app running in minutes. This HackWeek project will be and exploration of the available tools that can make Kubernetes as friendly as a PaaS for deployment but also how much Kubernetes can help development. Updated almost 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.
Learning MachineLearning by example a project by apritschet This is my attempt to catch up on the field of machine learning. In order to not "waste" time of exercising with dummy data the Security team came up with a couple of interesting questions: 1.
