Will US F22 and F35 be able to stealthy communicate during sky operations

Image
  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...

How to bypass mod_security (WAF)

  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 re...

Israeli, Serbian, And Swedish Self-Propelled Howitzers Are to participate in the U.S. Army new Howitzer Competition

Image
  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 com...
 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...

outgoing president Mohamed Farmaajo has sensationally claimed Kenya is massing up forces to attack Somalia

    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 s...

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.
