For a long time, scientists have been trying to build technology that would allow humans to transport consciousness to alternate realities and offer mind control over objects. While the concept sounds like a piece of science fiction, multiple projects like mind-reading computers and thought-transfer interfaces have been in the works for quite some time. Now, […]
The United States’ Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, develops technologies that are deployed by the US army and sometimes the agency makes the technologies available for civilians as well. DARPA is behind many breakthrough technologies, including the internet itself, GPS, Unix, and Tor. Now, DARPA is currently working on an anonymous, end-to-end mobile […]
Voting machines are vulnerable, and lawmakers are pushing hard to come up with a system that is impervious to hacks for fair results. Now, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched a project to develop a $10 million open source and highly secure voting system. The new system will not only prevent hackers from hacking […]
The agency recently awarded a contract to develop an Internet scanning tool for inactive botnets Experts in ethical hacking from the International Institute of Cyber Security report that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is investing in the development of systems that automatically locate and dismantle botnets before hackers use them to attack websites, businesses, or […]
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency), who gave us the early version of the internet is now trying to fix a major problem – computers vulnerable to cyber attacks. As a part of a program called System Security Integrated through Hardware and Firmware (SSITH), the US military agency has loosened their pockets to fund $3.6 […]
TIM BRYANT AND Brian Knudson spent two years preparing for the Cyber Grand Challenge, a $55 million hacking contest cooked up by Darpa, the visionary research operation inside the U.S. Defense Department. But when the contest begins next Thursday evening in a ballroom at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Darpa won’t let them participate. That’s […]
Seven Pentagon supercomputers are getting ready to attack one another. Look out, human hackers. Pentagon research agency DARPA says people are too slow at finding and fixing security bugs and wants to see smart software take over the task. The agency released details today of a contest that will put that idea to the test at […]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is calling for the development of a hacker-proof encryption App for the U.S. military. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is calling security experts to create a hacker-proof “messaging and transaction platform.” The project for a hacker-proof encryption App was proposed under the rules of the Small Business Technology Transfer […]
The Squad X program will help the military to identify enemies even at night by using unmanned aerial vehicles’ scanning capability and robots following them The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has kicked off its Squad X Core Technologies program in a bid to try and improve soldiers and Marines situational awareness in treacherous and […]
Short Bytes: DARPA, the organization which once invented stealth plane and the Internet, is apprehensive of the fatal weaponry’s which are being made out of the common household objects. So, DARPA has decided to do a feasibility study of the same through a program called ‘Improv’ to replicate the mindset of the adversaries. Call it […]
DARPA, the advanced research department of the Pentagon will be testing its latest “submarine drone,” that is, a prototype of SHARK (Submarine Hold at RisK). It is an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). The deep-sea testing is a part of DARPA’s Distributed Agile Submarine Hunting (DASH) program whereas the drone testing is among the two phased […]
Good Bye GPS — DARPA to present another position-tracking technology. The U.S government’s Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has prioritized the development of a more dependable and efficient real-time location tracking technology due to the incompetence of GPS in specific situations. The information was made public on Thursday by a document on DARPA’s research projects. […]
To Monitor The Arctic DARPA willing to give $4million for an Unmanned Surveillance System. Ice melting in the Arctic has been the leading issue in strategic plans of almost all government leaders in Northern Hemisphere states. However, the remoteness of this area makes it a difficult entity to be explored or spied on. Thus, the […]
A project had been announced by the U.S government’s Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) last year which was to create a search engine that is powerful enough to dig deep in the web and bring out those websites that are not indexed by Google and other commercial search engines. The search engine that will […]
The hi-tech research wing of the US military DARPA (Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency) is to offer a $2 million prize offered for a fully automated defense system – a computer that defends itself without human intervention.
