Gear Set Up Tips for Plate Carriers
Posted by Gary in Body Armor, Gear, Warrior Tools on 14/Mar/2012 10:27
Brian Hartman and Sean Hendickson from Progressive FORCE Concepts talk a little about where you should locate magazine pouches on your plate carrier kit. One potentially life saving tip is to position your pistol magazine pouches on your belt in the same way you’d wear them without your carrier. This means you’ll be consistent in locating your pistol mags under stress rather than hunting for where you located them on your vest.
Smartphones Leak Encryption
Posted by Brian in Gear, News, Threat Watch on 7/Mar/2012 19:26
Technology Review reports that an attacker my be able to pick up encryption keys from cellphones with a TV antenna:
The antenna was detecting radio signals “leaking” from the transistors on the chip inside the phone performing the encryption calculations. Transistors leak those signals when they are active, so the pattern of signals from a chip provides an eavesdropper a representation of the work the chip is doing. When Kenworthy tuned his equipment to look in the right place, a clear, regular pattern of peaks and troughs appeared on his computer screen. They could be seen to come in two varieties, large and small, directly corresponding to the string of digital 1s and 0s that make up the encryption key.
Web Links Could Compromise Your Smartphone
Technology Review reports that if you have a smartphone that runs a version of Android, be careful about the links you click:
A chilling demonstration to a small, packed room at the RSA security conference today showed how clicking a single bad Web link while using a phone running Google’s Android operating system could give an attacker full remote control of your phone.

Shot in the Face
Posted by Gary in Gear, Medic, Warrior Tools, Warriors on 8/Jun/2011 07:01
From: Oakley News
Sergeant Tim Arthur is at the gun turret of an MRAP (an armored anti-mine vehicle), scanning the bleak Iraqi horizon for threats as the fuel delivery convoy rolls on toward its destination. It’s November, and a shroud of fog has settled over the area. It’s a fog so dense, so opaque that Arthur never even sees the sniper who shoots him in the face.

The grinding roar of chainsaw motors and the familiar scent of burning gasoline filled the air in Pleasant Grove, AL that Friday morning. Just a week after a mile-wide tornado decimated this quiet Birmingham suburb, sounds and smells like these heralded a new day—resounding signals that the arduous tasks of picking themselves up and returning to normalcy were finally underway.

Protect Your Smartphone
Over at ArsTecnica, a technology site, there is a good article about how and why you should want to protect the data on your smartphone. Here is a snippet:
Exhaustive cell phone searches aren’t exactly commonplace today, but they’re growing more and more frequent as law enforcement begins to realize how much incriminating information modern smartphones tend to contain. The rapidly growing digital forensics industry already offers a range of tools to law enforcement designed for pulling data off of mobile phones, and entire books have been written on such topics as the forensic analysis of the iPhone operating system.
Unfortunately, few consumer-grade smartphones support full device encryption. While there are numerous smartphone apps available for encrypting particular types of files, such as emails (i.e. NitroDesk TouchDown), voice calls (i.e. RedPhone), and text messages (i.e. Cypher), these “selective” encryption tools offer insufficient protection unless you’re confident that no incriminating evidence exists anywhere on your smartphone outside of an encrypted container.
