    sudo without a setuid binary or SSH over a UNIX socket

    In this post, I will detail how to replace sudo (a setuid binary) by using SSH over a local UNIX socket.

    I am of the opinion that setuid/setgid binaries are a UNIX legacy that should be deprecated. I will explain the security reasons behind that statement in a future post.

    Syncing tunes to Christmas tree lights with the Arduino Opta

    The team chose to create their music-synchronized light show with the Opta because of its reliability and bank of four built-in relays that could be utilized to switch specific light strings on or off. Lining up and triggering certain lighting effects for the music was all handled through the open-source Vixen Lights software. In here, the Opta was configured as a quad-channel controller that r [09:20] schestowitz eceives its commands over a GPIO connection sent by an Arduino UNO mediator. The PLC is programmed visually to read a programmable input pin for each relay and then leverage a comparator to toggle the relay when the signal is high.
