Spanish researchers reveal $20 device capable of disabling critical car functions
A group of Spanish security researchers have revealed a $20 device that can cause vital functions of a car to be disabled if physically connected to a car.
While many car hacking techniques have been demonstrated, it seems that this device has the potential to be particularly dangerous and is especially cheap to build.
If physically connected to a vehicle, the device can interfere with a car’s onboard Controller Area Network, or CAN bus, that coordinates and operates everything from windows to headlines and brakes to power steering.
When the device, which is smaller than a smartphone, is attached to a car’s electrical systems and the CAN bus via four wires, attack commands can be input over Bluetooth, according to Future Tense.
Javier Vazquez-Vidal and Alberto Garcia Illera call the device the deviCAN Hacking Tool, or CHT.

Lucky dog, we do not have many trout this far south. A few creeks contain trout north of here about 100 miles or so.
Could be very useful :)

Wow! I have never seen a fish such as this. How big do these fish get? I bet you can get a huge filet off the side of such a fish! Are they fighters? Do they jump when you catch them, salt or fresh water? Remind me of a salt water fish.

Did you make that fly? Very nice.
Years ago I bought a fly tying magnifier glass with all the little clips and moving arms, I use it for looking at old coins though. It will even bolt to the table.
So how long have you been tying?
I love to do dioramas its kinda like fly tying..well sorta, lol. I guess it's not really at all like it except for the meticulous tiny work and the satisfaction when you are done.
I have never been fishing on the ocean, I am land locked here. Although I have been in the Pacific and the Atlantic and the Gulf.
The east coast smelled like dead fish (Virginia Beach actually Norfolk )the gulf was full of dead fish ( Past Christian, Louisiana ) and the west coast was very, very windy ( San Louis Obispo, California) and full of tiny little chipmunks.
Bluh bluh bluh, sry I get carried away sometimes.
Anyway nice fly and fish.
