21st Century Learning and Teaching

THE AVERAGE AUTOMOBILE today isn’t necessarily secured against hackers, so much as obscured from them: Digitally controlling a car’s electronics remains an arcane, specialized skill among security researchers. But that’s changing fast. And soon, it could take as little as $60 and a laptop to begin messing around with a car’s digital innards.

Tomorrow at the Black Hat Asia security conference in Singapore, 24-year-old Eric Evenchick plans to present a new device he calls the CANtact. The open source board, which he hopes to sell for between $60 and $100, connects on one end to a computer’s USB port, and on the other to a car or truck’s OBD2 port, a network port under its dashboard. That makes the CANtact a cheap interface between any PC and a vehicle’s controller area network or CAN bus, the collection of connected computers inside of every modern automobile that control everything from its windows to its brakes.

A bad example about what sharing means :( Sharing means to share ethic sharing, NOT sharing about what to do bad! There are rules and laws which everybody has to respect for the well-being of a society! This should get taught to the students and learners, includes the knowledge of being a good Cyber-Citizen. Hashtags for Twitter are #eCitizen, #digcit, #digitalcitizen

Check out also my Curation about people who got hard prison for such actions and talk with your students about that, please:
