A Mysterious Signal Began Transmitting as the Iran War Erupted—Now Someone is Jamming It

In the early hours of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, a mysterious shortwave radio signal began broadcasting from an unknown location.

The broadcasts feature a man speaking mostly in Persian, although with the occasional inclusion of English language words, as a series of random numbers are conveyed, followed by the word tavajjoh, meaning “attention,” spoken three times before each transmission ends.

An artifact of the Cold War, the short radio dispatches that began just twelve hours after the onset of the conflict in Iran represent what radio experts refer to as a numbers station—a form of shortwave radio transmissions that broadcast random number sequences with the likely purpose of conveying information to intelligence officers in foreign nations.

every member of the #group called #watsw uses codewords like "thanks" to communicate with each other.

i will not name more than i already did.
only they can detect other #members of this "#crew"/ or whatever this is.
its even hard for us to recognize these secret #codes

working on a codebook app (for creating simple codebooks and encoding / decoding messages with or without pre-modern encryption); a more ambitious codebook generator (up to 100,000-ish entries plus beaucoup homophones); and a codebook decryptor page that explains maybe a bit to much about how to attack code and code + encryption messages.

Das Nebeneinander von #gpu und #cpu , die Integration von innovativen Beschleunigern sowie #quantencomputer: Die Komplexität beim #HPC und in #Supercomputer wächst. Deshalb ist ein Testsystem namens Blue Cubs am LRZ installiert, an dem Forschende #Codes ausprobieren und anpassen. So können sie sich auf den nächsten LRZ-Supercomputer Blue Lion vorbereiten – im Rechnergebäude laufen schon Bauarbeiten für die neue Versorgungsinfrastruktur: https://www.lrz.de/news/detail/warmlaufen-fuer-blue-lion

So Google has locked people into their Google Authenticator mobile apps. You no longer have the option to transfer accounts (saving as JSON or text). You can export and import to another Google Authenticator via QRCodes, but not to another application. After some interweb searches, there are some CLI tools to read, decode and present in text the secret code to import, one by one, the QRCodes that Google Authenticator generates for exports. That’s very inconvenient when you have plenty of accounts. Is there any other way than the manual way? #Bitwarden Authenticator could support these locked down QRCodes? Maybe time for a PR to add support to import from Google Authenticator…
