Acidic Security

  The   latest test of the gatewayONE communication system, developed to allow F22 and F35 to communicate with each other   and transfer mission data without being spotted, failed, but the t Pentagon still believes it is on  the right track two fighters work together. According to US Air Force acquisition executive Will Roper, the trial on 9 December at the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, managed to fulfill half of the tasks set before it. However, the gatewayONE module mounted on an unmanned Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie drone flying alongside the two jets "lost connectivity" soon after take-off. The preliminary version is that some of the module's hardware was displaced or came loose during lift-off. "We think we had a connector that came loose during it because the gateway itself was fine when the Valkyrie landed. So [it's] a thing we've learned from and we'll fix next time […] Next time we get out, flying in the next on-ramp, we'll probably check those s

  What is Mod_security ? ModSecurity is an embeddable web application firewall under GNU license that runs as a module of the Apache web server, provides protection against various attacks on web applications and allows monitoring HTTP traffic, as well as performing analysis in real time without the need to make changes to the infrastructure existing. modSecurity filters attacks by XSS, SQL Injection, abnormal behavior in protocols, robots, Trojans, LFI … also incorporating specific rules for some of the most popular content managers such as Joomla or Wordpress. Now … we go through steps, the first thing we have to do is look for parameters on the website and test them, as you already know, something very useful and fast is to use a simple ‘ (single quote) after the value of a parameter to generate a database error and find out whether or not the page is vulnerable to sql injection. I found a parameter called “productid” and a single quote was added to the end of its value. As a result

  SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZER DESIGNS FROM ISRAEL, SERBIA, AND SWEDEN, AS WELL AS AMERICAN MODELS, WILL TAKE PART IN A U.S. ARMY SHOOT-OFF AT YUMA PROVING GROUND IN ARIZONA EARLY NEXT YEAR. THE SERVICE IS LOOKING FOR NEW MOBILE ARTILLERY PIECE FOR ITS BRIGADES EQUIPPED WITH STRYKER WHEELED ARMORED VEHICLES, WHICH ARE PRESENTLY EQUIPPED WITH TOWED 155MM M777 HOWITZERS. The Army wants a wheeled howitzer that can keep up with its Stryker units, so the Israeli firm is shipping its 8x8 ATMOS gun to Yuma, where it’ll fire “hundreds of rounds.” US Army soldiers will get to fire their Israeli counterparts’ newest howitzer early next year, when the Elbit ATMOS participates in a shoot off alongside rival guns. The weapon is already in service with the Israeli Defense Force and other nations; this will be its American debut. All the competitors are 155mm howitzers mounted on trucks – typically six or eight-wheeled – and it’s an increasingly crowded field. While the Army isn’t announcing which compani

 It is    unclear how many more current and former intelligence agents ended up on the list to boost its "weight" without even knowing they were a part of it. The list includes the names of two former CIA chiefs and an ex-head of national intelligence, all of whom repeatedly accused Russia in the past of meddling without providing any evidence. At least one spook included on the list of former and current US intelligence agents denouncing a scandal purportedly linked  into as Biden  cludedwithout his consent, the National Review reported. The media outlet tried to reach out to all 51 names on the list to ask them if they had changed their mind after learning about the official probe into Hunter Biden. However, it turned out that one of them - former chairman of the National Intelligence Council Gregory Treverton – had never even heard about the list, let alone signed it. The National Review stated it could not determine whether the remaining 50 signatures on the list, includi

    In yet another political gimmick to whip up public opinion for re-election and deflect attention from the disastrous bomb attack that killed 14 people Friday, outgoing president Mohamed Farmaajo has sensationally claimed Kenya is massing up forces to attack Somalia. The Ministry of Information said  this Saturday the government had obtained information that Kenya was mobilizing troops and militias in the border town of Mandera with the intention of cross border attacks. “The Federal Government of Somalia has learned that Kenyan forces have deployed weapons and militias in Mandera to raid Belet Haawo and the Somali National Army bases in the area,” the statement which adds to several others from Mogadishu directed at Kenya reads in part. The statement came out the same day 14 people were killed in Galkaayo when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb at Abdullahi Isse stadium hours before Prime Minister Mohamed Roble arrived. He was scheduled to address a rally at the stadium. The stateme

   At least 14 people among them senior military officials were killed Friday in a suicide bomb attack at a stadium in Galkaayo, central Somalia. More than 10 others were injured. Among those confirmed dead are General Abdiaziz Qooje the commander of the 21 st  Division of Somali National Army in Galmudug, Major Mukhtar Abdi Aden the Danab Special Forces 10 th  Brigade commander and his deputy Ahmed Barafe. Former north Galkaayo governor Mohamud Tumey among other officials was also killed. The attack happened shortly ahead of the arrival of Prime Minister Mohamed Roble who was to address a rally at Abdullahi Isse stadium. Leaders across the political divide and the international community have condemned the attack which was claimed by the militant group Al-Shabaab. Meanwhile, major parts of Mogadishu are today on lockdown ahead of the burial of some of the victims of the attack. Major roads are sealed off with very minimal traffic in most parts of the city.

 The Ethiopian government has announced it will pay a 10 million birr ($260,000) reward for information on the whereabouts of fugitive Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) leaders. The news was announced on state-run broadcaster EBC and later confirmed by the government's crisis task force on Twitter. TPLF officers have allegedly been hiding in the mountains since Mekelle, the capital of the region, was captured by federal forces. This year, the local authorities refused to follow a federal order to postpone elections amid the coronavirus pandemic. The region held the vote, but the results were never recognised by Addis Ababa. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced a military operation in Tigray on 4 November, after an attack on a federal military base in the region, which he blamed on the TPLF.

 Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix visited the village of Pinga, in the territory of Walikala on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. He was accompanied by the governor of North Kivu, Carly Nzanzu Kasivita, a few hours after his landing in Goma . On the spot, the number two of the UN and the provincial authority exchanged with the local security committee, notability, civil society and humanitarian actors present in this region, where crises caused by the activism of armed groups including the rebellion of the Nduma Defense of Congo, led by Guidon Mwissa Shimiray, caused the displacement of local populations. “Pinga is the symbol of joint work between local and national authorities, both civil and military, and then MONUSCO. The population welcomed us warmly and testified to us in this way that they were grateful to us for the efforts made which brought back security and which created better conditions for there to be more progress, ”declared Jean-Pierre.

Despite being assigned to the same generation of fighters as America's F-35, Russia's Su-57 is made with a focus not on stealth, but on excelling in air superiority and other combat scenarios, the media noted. Russia's first fifth-generation stealth fighter, the Sukhoi Su-57 has finally entered mass production and will soon be inducted into the country's Air Force, as well as hitting world arms market some time later. Their introduction into the Russian military is apparently not good news for NATO, since the jet "can credibly threaten" its assets due to its exceptional capabilities in several areas, the magazine The National Interest noted in a recent article. The outlet pinpointed five key features contributing to the jet's supreme performance. According to the National Interest, the Su-57 was designed and built as a "class-leading" air superiority platform that excels in dogfighting scenarios and can outperform even the much-touted F-35 – Amer

 terror suspect is reported to be affiliated with al Shabaab, a Salafi Wahhabist jihadist group based in East Africa with direct links to al-Qaeda.
