3D model of Bremen city by 6D SLAM algorithm

1 Comment robots

In July of this year, i had a great time, and the honour to be in Bremen, more especifically at the Jacobs University of Bremen, on the Cooperative Cognitive Control for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (Co3-AUVs) Summer School. One of the things that I had seen was a very nice and detailed scans from the old center of Bremen.It was Scanned with a Riegl VZ400 Scanner using markers and 6D SLAM.

I found at the web a better link for the raw scan data and it is available here.

And the source code is available here and is GPL licensed.

Later, I make another post about the summer school details. I had not a lot of time to organize it since them.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) – How Twitter Got hacked

No Comments Personal Interests

No, it is not the end of the world, but twitter got hacked(again!)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications that enables malicious attackers to inject client side scripting into web pages viewed by other users.

There was a heat coming up on twitter about people trying to execute some scripts(XSS), using the onmouseover function from javascript, using something similar to the url, below.

http://  twitter.com/#@”onmouseover=”javascript:alert(‘xss’);”/

And then, we got weird text, strange url redirection, and so on. Just use some twitter app for a while and you should be safe.

And the twitter stuff should have seen that coming, now we have “twitter got hacked” on the trending topics :)
