Scattered throughout John James' horse ranch in the Santa Cruz mountains are wireless sensors he uses to measure temperature and humidity. Inside the sensors, communication devices the size of a ...

Everyday, our cars are using more computing technology, primarily for safety reasons. So why not turning them into computer nodes of a mobile network? This is what UCLA engineers are working on.

The approach works by giving all the devices on a network – or “nodes” – the ability to destroy themselves, taking any nearby malevolent device with them.

Mesh networks work with one central router that communicates with any number of nodes placed throughout your home. These nodes provide Wi-Fi connectivity to your devices by communicating with each ...

To extend a network, simply plug the device directly into an outlet at the outer edge of the existing 802.1 b/g/n access point, connect a PC to its built-in Ethernet port and point a browser to it.

Mesh networks can give your home’s Wi-Fi a much needed boost—but can sometimes create problems for some smart-home devices, too.

IoT devices and network-connected appliances often aren’t designed with robust security in mind. ... Lock All The Doors: The Cybersecurity Risks Of Overlooked Devices In Computer Networks.

Security researchers are warning that China-linked state-backed hackers are increasingly relying on a vast proxy server network created from virtual private servers and compromised online devices ...
