USING A 'POKÉMON GO' BOT MAY GET YOU PERMANENTLY BANNED

Game maker Niantic, the developer behind mobile sensation Pokémon Go, is now issuing permanent bans to players who violate its terms of service. Though TOS violations vary, these bans appear to be directed at cheaters who rely on GPS spoofing, bots, and other software techniques that allow Pokémon Go to be played beyond the realm of Niantic's design parameters. For instance, GPS spoofing lets you trick a smartphone into thinking you're located in a different country, allowing you to catch pokémon that may be more easily located in that area or restricted to certain regions. Bots, on the other hand, let you automate portions of the game.

It's still unclear how Niantic is going about detecting the use of GPS spoofing, emulators, bots, and other hacks. A number of threads on Reddit's Pokémon Go developer community, where much of the discussion around these techniques takes place, have popped up in the last two days. It seems users cannot seem to lock down what exactly results in a ban and how Niantic's internal systems may be seeking out cheating behavior.

All hard-banned accounts will see one of these two screens:

You might get this from Niantic :

 "This includes, but is not limited to: falsifying your location, using emulators, modified or unofficial software and/or accessing Pokémon Go clients or backends in an unauthorized manner including through the use of third party software," the note reads. "Our goal is to provide a fair, fun and legitimate game experience for everyone. We will continue to work with all of you to improve the quality of the gameplay, including ongoing optimization and fine tuning of our anti-cheat system."

"Our servers are humbled by your incredible response"/"failed to get game data from server" has still been unable to log in. It has been 12-24 hours for a lot of people so far. This ban is not the same as a softban, they did add new softbans recently see below. Also it seems to only be botters who have had this happen, and most botters still have not been banned. Finally, no this is not a server issue. Yes you can get this message during server errors, but if you get it only on one account for an extended duration, it is a ban.

It appears users have been receiving various levels of bans for quite some time.

To clear up confusion there are several types of bans:

Soft IP ban Ban the IP but not the account (not permanent). All accounts on the ip will be unable to see pokestops and pokemon. Usually goes away after 20 mins of not accessing the pogo api from that IP. There is a solution here just restart your modem to get new IP from ISP, It works If you have Dynamic IP. but you have STATIC IP your IP will be the same.

Hard IP ban The IP has been permanently banned. This happened to cloud providers like AWS. You can't log in or access pogo at all from one of these IPs. Never goes away.

Soft ban Account specific and temporary, you can log in but the game doesn't work in some way. There are now multiple types of softbans: (time to go away varies)

1. Spinning pokestops gives nothing, and pokemon always run on the first ball. (this was the original softban makikita nyo sa bot nakatakas)
2. Spinning pokestops is fine, but pokemon always run. (added today)
3. All pokestops say out of range, and no pokemon ever spawn (added recently)
4. You can catch pokemon fine, but can not spin pokestops
5. People have reported various other types of softbans which may be per account or ip

 Softban example  No Pokestop No Pokemon Nearby

Hard ban Permanent ban (Can not log in what-so-ever, no known cases of it going away). This is the new ban that botters have been getting. If you get a login error, it does not mean you are banned for sure, but if you were botting or teleporting and you can't log in on that account from any IP, and you can use other accounts - good chance thats a hardban.

But this new permanent ban has the community advising its members not to use third-party application programming interfaces (APIs). 

Many of the makers of the game's most popular APIs have been sent cease and desist letters from The Pokémon Company over the course of the last two weeks as well. So it appears the company is increasing its efforts to crackdown on the kind of Pokémon Go playing it deems unsavory.

The company includes a link to an appeal form for trying to reverse a ban if it was issued by mistake.

Adidas rewards its medal-winning Olympians with 3D-printed Winners Shoe

Last year, Adidas began showing the potential of the technology with concepts like Futurecraft 3D, a running shoe made partially out of 3D-printed materials. And now the company's taking that one step further: it created a ready-to-wear pair for its sponsored athletes at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As its name suggests, though, the "3D-printed Winners Shoe" will be limited to those who win a medal in Brazil.

The brand are giving a select group of its medal-winning athletes at Rio 2016 – potentially including the likes of Jessica Ennis-Hill, Laura Trott and Sonny Bill Williams – a tailor-made pair of 3D printed running shoes, the first that the brand have ever made.

The sneaker consists of an engineered 3D web structure with dense zones in high force areas, and a 3D printed heel counter, which brings 3D printing into the upper of the shoe – the technology means that Adidas haven't needed to go through the usual process of gluing or stitching.

Unlike the Futurecraft 3D silhouette from a few months ago, this one features a black Primeknit upper and 3D-printed midsole. The heel counter is also 3D-printed, something we hadn't seen before. By integrating the heel counter into the midsole, Adidas says it was able to avoid the usual process of glueing or stitching in parts of the design. Most importantly, an Adidas spokesperson tells Engadget that the 3D-printed Winners Shoe has been fully tested and is approved for running in. Yes, you can wear them without worrying that they'll break before taking any steps.

Adidas hasn't shared details on a consumer model yet..

Facebook is now rolling out the code update that will disable Adblock Plus’ workaround

Adblock Plus launched a workaround to Facebook’s ad block bypass today that ham-handedly removes posts from friends and Pages,not just ads.

That “plan to address the issue” is coming quick. A source close to Facebook tells me that today, possibly within hours, the company will push an update to its site’s code that will nullify Adblock Plus’ workaround. Apparently it took two days for Adblock Plus to come up with the workaround, and only a fraction of that time for Facebook to disable it.

On Tuesday, Facebook announced it had blended the HTML of its ads on the web into its content so they’d still appear to users with ad blocking software. The company argued that by providing users with more opt-outs of ad targeting, it was addressing a top concern of ad block users, executing on its mission to connect people to businesses as well as each other, and that it’s wrong to avoid compensating websites for their ad-supported services.

Within hours, the leading blocker software company Adblock Plus quickly vowed to crowdsource a workaround from its community. Today it released that update to its filter that it claims once again removes Facebook’s ads. But now Facebook is accusing it of ensnaring legitimate content from friends and Pages, and is rolling out the code necessary to thwart Adblock Plus’ workaround.

Still, the cat-and-mouse game is sure to rage on. 

Adblock Plus may be at a disadvantage because on some platforms it has to get users to update their software or edit their filter list manually in order to push its next move. Facebook can unilaterally revise its website’s code for all users without them having to do anything. That means by the time most of Adblock Plus’ users have downloaded the update, Facebook may have already broken it and be one step ahead.

Researchers are developing a soft, stretchy touch screen panel might improve portable gameplay in the future

Forget the Gaming with mice and keyboard or controller is one thing, here is soft, stretchy touch panel...Wouldn't that look and feel pretty bizarre?
Researchers have been hard at work on developing a special, highly stretchable touchpad that can be utilized to play games and write words. It's very impressive, made of hydrogel and a network of hydrophilic polymers that allow the panel to stretch beyond normal limits. This was achieved using a polyacrylamide hydrogel with lithium chloride salts that help the hydrogel retain water.

During tests, the touchpad was able to operate normally when stretched to more than 1000% its normal area, though after 100 cycles resistance was increased only slightly. This is an extremely impressive breakthrough, and the applications are obvious, especially when it comes to medical devices and even improving portable gameplay in the future.

Chip and PIN cards and readers are not secure as we thought

Chip and PIN cards and readers are finally rolling out in the United States.
That should make purchases or withdrawals more secure, since the information is only valid for 60 seconds. As it turns out, according to Rapid7 security firm researcher Weston Hecker, a lot can happen in that minute.

Unlike traditional magnetic cards, which use static information to make a transaction, these pieces of plastic create a new key with each purchase, based on a standard by Europay, MasterCard and Visa.

Last week's Def Con security conference, Hecker demonstrated how an ATM machine or point-of-sale (POS) terminal can be used to intercept that onetime-use key and other information about the card. That data is then transmitted to another device (in this case another cash machine) that makes a second transaction, such as withdrawing money from your account.

It's an ingenious proof of concept. But it requires that at least two devices be compromised. First the target POS or ATM needs a piece of hardware installed that reads the card's chip. This process is called "shimming." (Doing the same hack with a magnetic card is called "skimming.") Once the data has been captured, its transmitted to a legitimate ATM that's been hijacked.

This payout cash machine would be outfitted with a system Hecker calls La-Cara. It tricks the ATM into believing the physical card is being dipped, after which a robot hand enters the PIN. The machine withdraws the maximum amount allowed by the card and -- for a while at least -- the victim is none the wiser.

Of course, an ATM with a robot hand would arouse suspicion. But Hecker realized that if you put a facade and "out of order" sign on a machine, no one gives it a second look. In fact, there was a cash machine near his house with an "out of order" sign that sat undisturbed for days. When he called the bank, they were unaware the machine wasn't working.

The big payout would be when shimmers are installed on multiple machines that all transmit to a single hijacked ATM. That hijacked machine will collect and dispense all the cash so that whenever the thieves are ready to collect, they simply roll up, grab the La-Cara system and cash, and leave. If that ATM is compromised, they put the facade on another machine in another location and start collecting data (and cash) again.

Hecker spent a year analyzing ATM machines and banking systems to come up with this attack. While the thieves (also called "carders") are currently still using skimmers to fill their pockets, it's unlikely they'll turn away from a life of crime once chip and PIN cards are the only way to get to your cash.

The presentation was meant to be a wake-up call for the banking and ATM systems. There's a window between now and when a majority of the cash machines become EMV compliant. In that time he hopes that the privately owned ATMs are upgraded with foreign-device detection and that the time it takes to complete a transaction is reduced from 60 seconds.

This type of attack probably won't happen in the next few months. Hecker said he doesn't expect to see this type of system in the wild until about Oct. 2018. But unless that 60-second gap is closed or made more secure, in the future this will be a problem that affects us all

Researcher finds huge security flaws in Bluetooth door locks

While wandering in his neighborhood, he noticed a lot of Bluetooth locks popping up and decided to do some sniffing of those "security" gadgets (read: capturing packets being sent between devices).Security research Anthony Rose just wanted to try out his Bluetooth range-finding setup. 

 "I discovered plaintext passwords being sent that anybody could read. I couldn't imagine I was the only one that could see this," Rose told Engadget following a presentation at last week's Def Con security conference.

Rose then purchased 16 Bluetooth-enabled door locks. With the help of his partner Ben Ramsey, he found that across the board, security was either non-existent or seriously flawed. "I never imagined that I would come across 12 of the 16 locks that I bought having either no security or poorly implemented security," Rose said.

Of those security-impaired locks, four of them sent plaintext-passwords. They were the Quicklock Doorlock, Quicklock Padloock, iBluLock Padlock and Plantraco PhantomLock. The QuickLock brand was especially troubling because Rose could change the admin password and lock out the user. The only way to reset it is to remove the battery which can only be accessed when the door it's attached to is open.

Four other locks were prone to replay attacks (when validated data is played again or delayed in transmission). Those were the Ceomate Bluetooth Smartlock, Elecycle Smart Padlock, Vians Bluetooth Smart Doorlock and Lagute Sciener Smart Doorlock. Some of these locks even claimed that encryption was being used. Which really doesn't matter if you can capture, store and later send out passwords.

Rose and Ramsey were also able to hijack the "encrypted" with "patented cryptographic solutions" of the Okidokey Smart Doorlock by changing the third byte in its unique key to 00. The lock gets confused and opens. The researcher contacted Okidokey and instead of replying to his email, the company shut down its site. But the doorlock is still available on Amazon.

He also found that the Danalock Doorlock had a hard-coded password and that the Mesh Motion Bitlock Padlock could be impersonated (known as device spoofing) with a Raspberry Pi that would trick the device's cloud server to send out a password.

This is all extremely troubling when you realize that these pieces of technology are all that stand between a burglar and the inside of your house. With a long range antenna, some of these locks could be open from half a mile away. Someone trying to jimmy your front door would arouse suspicion. If that same person just walked up and opened the door, there's a good chance neighbors would believe everything was above board.

Rose's team only tested 16 locks. But the Bluetooth-enabled security market continues to grow which concerns Rose. "In most cases convenience their top goal because they're trying to sell a product. Security usually ends up being a second thought in these cases," he told Engadget. It's equally worrisome that only one of the companies he contacted replied to his findings. He had expected at least half to get back to him.

The four locks that the team couldn't hack were the Noke Padlock, Masterlock Padlock, Kwikset Kevo Doorlock and August Doorlock. But he did note that the earlier versions of the Kwikset could be opened by jamming a screwdriver into the keyhole, while another researcher at this year's Def Con was able to crack the August system by upgrading their guest account to an owner account with a custom firmware. The flaw has since been fixed. An August spokesperson told Engadget, "the ability for a user to download and access their own encrypted key has been removed."

Adidas will bring its robot-staffed factory to Atlanta in 2017 for massive production

The company created a new manufacturing facility staffed by robots, known as Speedfactory. Along with setting one up in its native country, Adidas also revealed there would be a separate Speedfactory in the US, slated to open in 2017. Today, the sportswear giant shared more details about this project, announcing that its Stateside production facility will call Atlanta home. The 74,000-square-foot space is set to be fully functional by the end of next year, and Adidas says it aims to make 50,000 pairs of running shoes there.

Late last year, Adidas announced plans to bring shoe production back to Germany starting in 2016.

Sure, that's a small fraction when you consider that the company made 301 million pairs last year, but it's only the beginning. The Speedfactory (Germany) is designed to make products at a rapid pace, with an automated assembly line that combines with craftsmanship to create footwear (and other things) in high volumes. Most importantly, perhaps, it lets Adidas rely less on Asian facilities, some of which have been scrutinized for unethical labor practices. It's also about "endless opportunities for customization in America," Adidas said in a press release.

The Speedfactory in Atlanta will create about 160 jobs for human workers, according to Adidas, though it didn't disclose what type of work that would entail. But hey, someone needs to keep those robots in check, right?

Microsoft Accidentally Leaks Backdoor Secret Keys to Bypass UEFI Secure Boot feature

Microsoft has accidentally leaked the Secret keys that allow hackers to unlock devices protected by UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) Secure Boot feature.

Secure Boot is a security feature that protects your device from certain types of malware, such as a rootkit, which can hijack your system bootloader, as well as, Secure Boot restricts you from running any non-Microsoft operating system on your device.

In other words, when Secure Boot is enabled, you will only be able to boot Microsoft approved (cryptographically signature checking) operating systems. (Example Windows 8 or 10 you can't boot Win 7,Linux or You can boot Win 7 installer but  no drive boot  it will lags LOGO only )

To access this menu, open the Settings charm — either swipe in from the right and tap Settings or press Windows Key + I. Click the Power option under the Settings charm, press and hold the Shift key, and click Restart. Your computer will reboot into the boot options menu.
Note: if you are using Windows 10 you can get to the power options menu from the Start Menu. Just hold SHIFT and click Restart the same way.

To access the UEFI Firmware Settings, which are the closest thing available to the typical BIOS setup screen, click the Troubleshoot tile, select Advanced Options, and select UEFI Firmware Settings.
The Golden Keys disclosed by two security researchers, using alias MY123 and Slipstream, can be used to install non-Windows operating systems, say GNU/Linux or Android, on the devices protected by Secure Boot. 

According to the blog post published by researchers, it is impossible for Microsoft to fully revoke the leaked keys, potentially giving law enforcement (such as FBI and NSA) special backdoor that can be used to unlock Windows-powered devices in criminal cases.

This specific Secure Boot policy was created and signed by Microsoft for developers, testers, and programmers for debugging purposes.

"During the development of Windows 10 v1607 'Redstone,' MS added a new type of secure boot policy. Namely, "supplemental" policies that are located in the EFIESP partition…" researcher said.
"...a backdoor, which MS put into secure boot because they decided to not let the user turn it off in certain devices, allows for secure boot to be disabled everywhere!"

Yesterday, Microsoft released August Patch Tuesday that includes a security patch for designing flaw in Secure Boot for the second time in two months, but unfortunately, the patch is not complete.

Microsoft's August Patch Tuesday ( GMT+8 Wednesday) offers nine security bulletins with five rated critical, resolving 34 security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer (IE), Edge, and Office, as well as some serious high-profile security issues with Windows.

This is actually I had yesterday on my Windows 10.. It include the  Microsoft PDF Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.

Elon Musk announces ‘Solar Roof’ product a renewable solar energy on your home

During SolarCity's latest earnings call, the entrepreneur revealed that his energy-focused company is developing a "solar roof" -- not a roof with solar panels on it, a roof made out of solar cells. As Musk explains, people install millions of new roofs every year. Why not have them embrace solar power when they look for a replacement? Homeowners with old roofs tend not to install solar panels, since they know they'll have to rip everything off before long.

The exec isn't shedding light on how this solar roof will function, although he notes that buyers will get to customize their design. That's rather important given the sheer variety of housing on the market, but it also suggests that you won't just get a patch of solar shingles (like those above) and call it a day. Just when you'll see it isn't clear. SolarCity's Peter Rive says the company only started talking about roofing "a couple of weeks ago," but it's also going to be a key part of a ramp-up in production around the second quarter of 2017. In other words, you may get more details when SolarCity has finished merging with Tesla.

NASA has teamed up with six private corporations preparing for missions farther and longer that it's used to

NASA is already preparing for humanity's journey into the great unknown, and part of its efforts is developing a suitable habitat for future spacefarers. In order to create a place where people can live outside our own planet, the agency has teamed up with six private corporations to build full-scale ground prototypes of the habitats they designed. NASA has chosen those six out of all the proposals it got for the second Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships. And as you can see above, Boeing is one of them.

The Houston-based aerospace company will take the chance to test and validate its design by building a prototype of its modular habitat system. Lockheed Martin, on the other hand, will transform one of its multi-purpose modules used to carry supplies to the ISS into a habitat with integrated avionics (aviation electronics) and Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS).

The third company in the list is Orbital ATK, which plans to continue developing the cislunar habitat --a spacecraft designed to stay between Earth and the moon -- concept it conjured up. It's based on the company's Cygnus spacecraft that's used to ferry supplies to the space station. Sierra Nevada Corporation's prototype will combine its space shuttle-like Dream Chaser vehicle with an inflatable component. It will also feature an ECLSS and a propulsion system.

Texas-based NanoRacks will examine whether converting an existing launch vehicle's upper stage into a livable environment is feasible. Finally, Bigelow Aerospace is building the XBASE (Expandable Bigelow Advanced Station Enhancement) prototype. It's based on the 330 cubic meter ISS add-on the company is developing, except it will be designed to exist on its own. If you'll recall, the ISS crew recently installed Bigelow's smaller expandable module to test whether it can withstand the harsh environment outside Earth.

One or more of these prototypes could serve as home to astronauts going to Mars and other locations farther than Low Earth orbit. 

Since most of us will never set foot on any of them, though, you can check out what they could look like below:

Google Chrome will begin blocking Flash with Chrome 53 this September

Google Chrome is finally de-emphasizing Flash in favor of HTML5. Come September, Google Chrome 53 will begin blocking Flash, such as the kind that loads "behind the scenes," as Google says, which can slow down casual web browsing. HTML5 is a lot less resource-heavy and when pages utilize it, it improves battery life, page loading and responsiveness across the web.

Adobe Flash Player played a pivotal role in the adoption of video, gaming and animation on the Web. Today, sites typically use technologies like HTML5, giving you improved security, reduced power consumption and faster page load times. Going forward, Chrome will de-emphasize Flash in favor of HTML5. Here’s what that means for you.

Following Chrome 53, in December Chrome 55 will go even further to make HTML5 the default browsing experience, excepting only sites with Flash-only support.

You'll be given the option to enable Flash when you visit, so it won't change too much from the way you already browse the web. Last year, Chrome began blocking some Flash ads already, so you've likely already seen some of the effects trickling down during regular internet use if you use Chrome, after all.

What this means is you'll likely see a lot fewer hang-ups when using previously Flash-heavy sites, and fewer crashes to have to worry about.

Seagate's New 60TB SAS SSD

Seagate has just announced a whopping 60 TB solid-state-drive, the largest SSD yet with that sort of capacity. Unfortunately, the SSD is only meant for businesses, released as an addition to Seagate's data center portfolio. With four times the capacity of the next leading SSD, this massive hard drive could hold up to 12,000 DVD movies or even a whopping 400 million photos.

The drive was created with quick accessibility in mind, and its flexibile artchitecture means it'll be simple for data centers to grow from 60TB to accommodate 100TB or more of data in the future, all using the same form factor.

Just sit back and think about how ridiculous an amount of data that really is.

The 60TB SAS SSD is only available right now for demonstration, though it will officially make its debut some time in 2017.

Instagram Stories may be good enough to slow Snapchat’s growth

Instagram Stories may be good enough to slow Snapchat’s growth, especially amongst existing Instagram users. Instagram Stories appear at the top of the feed, so there’s no way to miss them. The core drawing and text overlay tools are there. And most importantly, you don’t have to build a new audience on a different app.

Instagram Stories lacks the quality of Snapchat Stories. There are no geofilters, animated selfie lenses, 3D stickers, speed effects or screenshot alerts. The camera isn’t the default home screen for spontaneous recording. And uploads don’t go as smoothly. 

The real target for Instagram Stories, though, are all the people who’ve been curious about Snapchat’s fun creation tools and format, but either tried and abandoned it, or wrote it off as just for teens or too much work to adopt.

If it doesn’t work out, Instagram could still scrap the Stories feature. The only cost will be some development time and the insults that it copied Snapchat… which Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom deftly deflated by fully admitting to me in an interview that “they deserve all the credit.” With or without Stories, Instagram still dominates polished social media the way Facebook would have still dominated big life event and opinion sharing even without Subscribe.

If Instagram Stories is a success, it may be able to defang its most dangerous adversary. Facebook’s previous attempts to clone Snapchat like Poke, Slingshot and Bolt all failed, largely because they tried to make an “even-better” version of Snapchat that could go toe-to-toe with it as a standalone app. Here, Facebook wised up and baked a good-enough version into an already popular app.
