Alhaitham: Okay, so we tried using brute force, picking the lock, and even trying to remove the handle which failed because we have no tools. Now what?

Cyno: We could always break the door. I tried it on my own door once and it worked.

Tighnari: No. Maybe we should call a professional locksmith. We've been at this for two hours.

Kaveh: [appears] Hey guys, what's up?

Alhaitham: We can't get this door open. We tried pushing it as hard as we could but it won't work.

Kaveh: [pulls the door open] …pull, not push.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND

"the hinges are on the inside of the room. meaning, that you have to pull it."

"..."

"wait- how did you even try picking the lock when the keyslot is on the other side of the door-"

KEYSLOT

[miss-shirley]

Do you know why, everytime I have difficulties unlocking the door to my flat, the first thing I check is the doormat?

Well.

Flashback to a day last summer that I spent mostly at work preparing for an important thing and just come home completely knackered, walk up the stairs to my flat and turn the key. and turn it again. and again. I should have started wondering after the second turn because I only lock my door once, usually, but I thought 'Maybe I was so exhausted I don't remember locking it twice.' So after the third turn I'm like 'huh, that's odd' and then I look down to the doormat and realise

'Shit, this isn't my doormat.

Shit, this isn't my door!'

So that's how I found out that apparently, if you use your key on another flat's door in the building it does go into the keyslot, it even turns, it just doesn't unlock the door, obviously.

So now, everytime my door doesn't immediately unlock (sometimes the lock is being difficult, sometimes it's my tired arse using my parking garage key which also fits in the slot but doesn't turn), I check to see IF I'M ON THE RIGHT FUCKING FLOOR, because apparently my brain is too exhausted to remember if I've walked up one or two flights of stairs mere seconds ago.

[sig-got-a-gun]

it's huge and there are three symbols and three keyslots, the symbols are the ones i mentioned earlier and OH GOD MY GOD THE OTHER DM'S OTHER CHARACTER IS NOW HERE HE'S GONNA FING KILL THE PLA- aaaand he left the call of fear XD

THIS IS SO CHAOTIC

Another found part for the ESB Boba Fett Helmet is the Casio MQ-1 Pocket Calculator. The circuit board was used behind the keyslots of the helmet and the calculator buttons were used on the left hand gauntlet. I wish the prop team would have decided not to paint over the circuit board...still a cool piece though! #bobafett #bobafetthelmet #propreplica #foundparts #therpf #thede #thedentedhelmet #tdh #casiocalculator #vintage #replica #greeblies https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLyEW-grp9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qt31m0mptwu2

How IoT device provisioning to the Arduino IoT Cloud works

This article was written by Luigi Gubello, Arduino Security Team.

Be kind to the end user. At Arduino, we like to develop powerful ideas into simple tools. This is the spirit behind our team’s efforts in launching our IoT Cloud platform: making the Internet of Things accessible and easy for everyone. We can now offer a complete low-code IoT application development platform that seamlessly integrates with our hardware products: Arduino IoT Cloud.

Behind such simplicity, you’ll always find a thorough design study carried out by our team in order to offer a user-friendly IoT cloud solution, which is suitable for everything from your first IoT project to state-of-the-art professional use — what the user needs to do is connect their compatible Arduino board to a computer and follow the steps displayed in the browser window. The process will configure the device to securely connect to the Arduino IoT Cloud, thus creating an  Internet-connected device in minutes.

So how does Arduino IoT Cloud provisioning work?

TLS Client Authentication

In a previous blog post titled “Arduino Security Primer,” we began to introduce how the device provisioning works, showing how security is a fundamental requirement for us. The Arduino IoT Cloud security model is based on three key elements: an open-source library named ArduinoBearSSL, a Hardware Secure Element, and a device certificate provisioning for TLS Client Authentication. 

The TLS Client Authentication (or TLS Mutual Authentication) is an authentication method in which the server verifies the client’s identity through a certificate to grant or deny access to the device. In the standard TLS handshake, only a client authenticating a server is required, while in TLS Client Authentication, the server also needs to authenticate the client by verifying its identity. If the server cannot trust the client’s identity, it does not authorize a connection.

In the TLS Client Authentication system, the device’s credentials are replaced by a signed certificate that guarantees the device identity, thereby eliminating some security risks such as credentials stealing, weak passwords, or brute-force attacks. During the device provisioning process, a certificate — signed by our certificate authority — is stored inside the hardware secure element of supported Arduino boards to be used when identity verification is required.

ArduinoECCX08 Library

In order to communicate with the Microchip secure element (ATECC508A or ATECC608A) mounted on some Arduino boards, our engineering team developed an open-source library (ArduinoECCX8) which is used for device provisioning by the Arduino IoT Cloud. This library is responsible for writing and reading data from the secure element. In particular — during the provisioning stage — it manages the generation of private keys, certificate signing requests, and certificate storage. This library can also be used to generate self-signed certificates and to sign JWT, using the public key generated by the crypto chip.

Arduino Provisioning Sketch

IoT device provisioning for the Arduino IoT Cloud is performed by an open-source Arduino sketch, Provisioning.ino, contained in our ArduinoIoTCloud library. 

The entire device provisioning process is hidden behind a browser based user-friendly interface, so that users can quickly and easily connect their Arduino boards to the Arduino IoT Cloud by following a step-by-step procedure from the Getting Started page. During this process, the provisioning sketch is uploaded to the Arduino board and the open-source Arduino Create agent interacts with the browser content to help complete the device registration procedure. Taking a look at the provisioning source code to better understand what happens “behind the scenes,” it is possible to see how we use the hardware secure element.

The secure element’s slot 0 is used for storing the device private key, only the secure element can access its content. Slots 10, 11, and 12 are used for storing the compressed certificate, signed by Arduino’s certificate authority.

const int keySlot = 0; const int compressedCertSlot = 10; const int serialNumberAndAuthorityKeyIdentifierSlot = 11; const int deviceIdSlot = 12;

At first, the sketch configures and locks the hardware secure element. This process is required to begin using the device.

#include "ECCX08TLSConfig.h" [...] if (!ECCX08.writeConfiguration(DEFAULT_ECCX08_TLS_CONFIG)) { Serial.println("Writing ECCX08 configuration failed!"); while (1); }

After the hardware secure element has been configured, a private key and a certificate signing request (CSR) are generated.

if (!ECCX08Cert.beginCSR(keySlot, true)) { Serial.println("Error starting CSR generation!"); while (1); } String deviceId = promptAndReadLine("Please enter the device id: "); ECCX08Cert.setSubjectCommonName(deviceId); String csr = ECCX08Cert.endCSR();

The Create Agent takes the generated CSR and sends it to the server via the Arduino IoT Cloud API in order to receive a signed certificate. At this point the signed certificate is sent to the Arduino board and stored in the secure element.

if (!ECCX08Cert.beginStorage(compressedCertSlot, serialNumberAndAuthorityKeyIdentifierSlot)) { Serial.println("Error starting ECCX08 storage!"); while (1); } [...] if (!ECCX08Cert.endStorage()) { Serial.println("Error storing ECCX08 compressed cert!"); while (1); }

Once the signed certificate is successfully stored, the device provisioning is complete and the Arduino board is ready to connect to the Arduino IoT Cloud.

Self-Provisioning

The Arduino IoT Cloud facilitates the first approach to the Internet of Things, providing a simple user experience, but beneath its simplicity lies a powerful tool to develop professional projects. Our platform offers access to the Arduino IoT Cloud API, which is ideal for automation workflows.

In this use case, we will demonstrate how a user in need of provisioning a device fleet can automate and improve the process through the use of the Arduino IoT Cloud’s API and our open-source Arduino_JSON library. The following code is a self-provisioning sketch optimized for the Arduino Nano 33 IoT, which automatically takes care of registering the board to the Arduino IoT Cloud once uploaded to the board and executed.

[Self-provisioning for MKR WiFi 1010 and Nano 33 IoT in prod: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoIoTCloud/tree/master/examples/utility/SelfProvisioning]

To further enhance this process, we use our open-source Arduino CLI to quickly upload the code to the board. All that’s needed is a simple command:

arduino-cli compile -b arduino:samd:nano_33_iot -u -p /dev/ttyACM0 SelfProvisioning

These are only a few of the features that show how the Arduino hardware products and cloud service can automate processes and create an interconnected system to improve users’ projects and businesses. There will be an increasing number of connected and communicating devices added in the near future, and we are working to make this IoT revolution user-friendly, accessible, and open-source.

So I got out the eyes, nose, and teeth on my executioner. The keyslots on the back are out too. There’s a lot of filing I’m going to need to be doing and I’m also going to try and get through some of the nose with a dremel drill bit before I start filing that shit down with a jeweler’s file. I nicked it in some spots but that can be filled to fix it as far as I know.

Visor’s going to be an extended visor from t-visor.com that I’ll install with some t-nuts and washers. Mesh will be going behind the teeth and the keyslots though. In terms of other shit that will be installed in it, going to at least look into getting some helmet fans. Possibly a mic or something to deal with the voice issue, but helmet fans seem like they’re kind of a must in Georgia. Also padding of course so it fits on my head right. And then a range finder. Which I am going to probably learn to hate. Like I feel I need one because they’re rad and I mean Mandos got range finders dammit.

but i hear nothing but endless horror stories about the things breaking

"If you want to see the engines you just need to push the two concealed buttons under the keyslot." Dionisus laid on the sofa and had a small spoonful of the chocolate mousse that was left from the food Sunny got, just one and nothing more, he was way too entertained with how his partner was fascinated by the motorcycle.

The engine inside looked like the body of an old bike, however, when seen closer there was all the technology from modern machines, Dionisus made one hell of a work keeping as much of the original machinery integrity and giving it a whole new breathe of life while still updating it with the finest tech possible.

"Ah! And it comes equiped with an extra compartiment for your junks under the passenger's seat. Pull it up." Inside there was a survival kit with dry provisions he just needed to re-hydrate, a small gas plus to make fire, and a couple of most useful surfaces to prepare meat and rice, but also a mug that served both to prepare soup and pasta, and drink from.

"You always complain of how hard your travels are at times, I made a list of all you usually complain about, selected the topics you do the most and determined what to add in the survival kit for cooking, but you can change it in any way you want." He smiled. "And you don't need to worry about rustiness growing on this babe. I made sure to give it some good coats of oil and proper ink to isolate the metal."

“You got a cute butt.”

Twisting around to look at whoever had spoken, Sunny threw a confused look at the taller blond standing behind him. He glanced at his own rear end, best as he could, and pointed at it.

“this butt?”

         the doctor isn’t sure why she’s come,mostly because she isn’t sure what face of the master will greet her. and she hardly thinks she’s welcome on gallifrey, even if rassilon is still gone. she hasn’t the faintest who’s president nor is it her current prerogative. her fingers trace the writing on the physic paper in her hands, scanning the message one more time before she tucks it in her blazer and exits the tardis.

     immediately she’s assaulted by home. even deep beneath the citadel in the prison cells it still smells of stardust and rust, and her skin tingles in the familiarity of it all. it’s unsettling at best, but has her on edge from the moment she leaves her ship - which won’t be able to be concealed forever. eventually the time lords will notice she’s breached their shields for a bit of a pop in, but she hopes to be long gone by then. 

     the prisons (unfortunately) are also familiar. she winds through a hall to the left, running her fingers along the dimly lit corridor. typical earth cells aren’t the forte of the time lords of course, and they wouldn’t trust a prisoner of the master’s level to a prison ship or shada. these cells were far better, far more easily contained, small rooms time locked and left with no views of the outside world. there aren’t many occupied, so it’s easy enough for the doctor to guess; she shoves her sonic into the keyslot and it hums before burning out, the seemingly innocent wall giving away to reveal the sparse room.
