Technology have developed an attack

Post by rakhirhif8963 »

This scenario is not at all a fantasy. A team of specialists from Virginia Tech (USA), Microsoft Research and the China University of Science and method that allows for the substitution of the GPS signal (GPS spoofing) of car navigators and forcing car owners to drive on the wrong route. The researchers have developed a special algorithm that works in near real time and a portable device for transmitting the GPS signal, which can be attached to the victim's car or the car of an attacker following the object at a distance of up to 50 m.


A few introductory words
Unfortunately, there are very few technical materials on the topic. The Internet mainly contains videos with presentations on the YouTube channel from developers. Attempts to find at least some detailed technical description of the GridGain architecture or real technical implementation do not bring results. The Internet is overflowing with advertising, general presentations, links to the manufacturer's website and articles about Sberbank. Not a single live case of migration to GridGain with an analysis of the pros and cons, problem solving. Specialists try to discuss some near-technical problems on specialized forums, but there is very little information there. It is very strange to see this for a product with a history of more than 11 years! It seems to me that too much noise has been created around GridGain and good marketing has been carried out.

The technology description below is taken from hungary mobile database Ingnite, but it is also valid for GridGain.

What is GridGain?
Apache Ingnite (GridGain) is, in general terms, an open source platform for distributed storage and computation of large amounts of data across a cluster of nodes.

Apache Ignite Database uses RAM as the default storage and processing layer, so it is classified as an in-memory computing platform. The disk layer is optional, but once enabled, the disks will store the full data set, while the memory layer will cache the full or partial data set depending on its capacity. Apache Ignite can use RDBMS, NoSQL, or Hadoop databases as the disk layer.
