UtopiahNeil is a bit idealistic...08:59

kanzureUtopiah: if they are so-called "smartphones" i think so, yes09:52
kanzurealso mesa-gl can run on crap hardware09:53
kanzureespecially openscad models which can't be that complex anyway because of the limits of opencsg09:53
kanzure(opencsg rendering limits, i mean)09:53
kanzurebut for the record i haven't actually tested this :D09:53
UtopiahIm sure it's technically possible and has great potential, Im just saying his comment is idealistic based on the current availability and usage in such places09:54

UtopiahIm not even sure you have data contracts there...09:55
kanzurehi dyngnosis 09:59
dyngnosishello there09:59
dyngnosisI just thought I'd pop in and say hello.  Im a reverse engineer/software security guy who has recently become interested in biohacking/neuroscience10:01
-!- Joeconyers [~Joe@ool-182fafef.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #hplusroadmap10:01
kanzuredyngnosis: cool :)10:03
kanzureneurosecurity is going to be big :P10:03
dyngnosisa potential major road block even :)... good SKDB talk in the topic btw10:05
kanzurethank you! i've been playing around with nurbs stuff today10:06
kanzureactually, may i ask, what sort of software reverse engineering do you do10:06
kanzurewindows? linux?10:07
dyngnosisI do both.  For work I do a lot of binary diffing to find behavioural differences in patched/unpatched systems when a network service is involved.10:08
kanzureah10:08
kanzurei've been interested in hacking out functionality from the solidworks dll files for a while, mostly for the heck of it10:08
dyngnosisBut I've been using gdb with binnavi for a while now so Im comfortable doing elf binaries and macho as well10:08
kanzureand extracting an AES key out of the emotiv epoc software for unencrypting the bluetooth eeg data10:09
dyngnosisI'd take a look at pydbg if I were you10:09
kanzurehm10:09
-!- klafka [~klafka@cpe-66-66-5-254.rochester.res.rr.com] has joined #hplusroadmap10:09
dyngnosisa great book called Gray Hat Python will walk you through writing a custom debugger in windows in about 30 lines of code... basically you want to attach to the process, hook the APIs that have your info, read the memory addresses and detach10:10
dyngnosisI'd be happy to help it infact.10:11
kanzureyou (and QuantumG) might find this humerous10:12
kanzurehumorous10:12
kanzurei was doing some python/ctypes stuff to investigate some symbols in a set of dll files10:12
kanzurebut since it's all dll, and i'm linux only, i had to run python under wine10:12
dyngnosiswe're talking about decrypting the bluetooth eeg stream data with an AES key right?  You're not cracking the s/w?10:12
kanzurefiguring out all of the required parameters is rather difficult without api docs >_<10:12
dyngnosiskanzure, baha.. now that is funny :)10:13
kanzuredyngnosis: well presumably the emotiv epoc exe has the key inside of it, otherwise how is it decrypting the data?10:13
dyngnosiskanzure, I can throw it in IDA pro and dissassemble it for you if you like10:13
kanzureokay, cool10:13
kanzurei might send you the files in a bit. one of my servers is down though so some files might not be available for "a while"10:13
dyngnosisOk, how much is this hw btw?  I've been considering an eeg for a while but I didnt want to buy something I'd regret later (I need to do a lot more research I think.. for example, can an @home eeg read P300?)10:15
kanzure$30010:17
kanzurea friend shipped his to me so that i could play around with it. i was under the impression that it was much more costly10:18
-!- ybit_ [~ybit@c-71-228-177-79.hsd1.al.comcast.net] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]10:18
kanzurebut when the shipping center/store asked me how much to insure it for, i looked it up and was disappointed on the cost10:18
kanzurei mean, disappointed in a good way10:18
dyngnosishah seriously... 14 chan eeg?10:19
dyngnosishow is the sensitiviy?10:19
kanzureawful10:19
dyngnosisthats what i was worried about10:19
kanzurei don't have any measurements for you (i should have bought a logic analyzer or oscillator)10:19
dyngnosisif Im going to be doing research I don't want to worry about the data being wrong because of bad contact10:19
kanzurebut i tried it out on someone else's windows computer and did some of the training.. was not amused with it at all.10:20
dyngnosisI think I may go the OpenEEG/cap+goop method10:20
kanzureoh, the contacts are ok10:20
kanzurei can't seem to find anything called 'behavi'10:21
dyngnosisbehavi?10:22
kanzureoh, binnavi10:22
kanzurehuge difference. sorry10:22
dyngnosiswww.zynamics.com/binnavi.html10:22
kanzureeasy to find once i have the right name :x10:23
dyngnosishehe10:23
kanzurewhat's with the whitebeard on http://pedram.redhive.com/PyDbg/docs/10:23
dyngnosishehe that is PaiMei10:24
dyngnosispydbg is a part of PaiMei10:24
dyngnosisPaiMei is a reverse engineering framework.  pydbg is a component of it.  PIDA is another part (it deals with the exporting the IDA Pro dissassebly into a mysql database that PaiMei works with)10:25

kanzure"Of course, a lot of interesting-shaped objects couldn't be drawn with just these simple tools, because they had curved parts that weren't just circles or ellipses. Often, a curve was needed that went smoothly through a number of predetermined points."11:33
kanzure"This problem was particularly acute in shipbuilding: although a skilled artist or draftsman could reliably hand-draw such curves on a drafting table, shipbuilders often needed to make life-size (or nearly life-size) drawings, where the sheer size of the required curves made hand drawing impossible."11:33
kanzure"Because of their great size, such drawings were often done in the loft area of a large building, by a specialist known as a loftsman. To aid in the task, the loftsman would employ long, thin, flexible strips of wood, plastic, or metal, called splines. The splines were held in place with lead weights, called ducks because of their resemblance to the feathered creature of the same name (see Figure 1)."11:34

kanzurei really have no idea how to mentally intuit the number of control points, their positions, their weights, and the number of knots and their ordering or repetitions, to get a desired shape15:36
