Samy Kamkar is well known for many things, but lately it has been his hardware security hacks that have been turning heads. The nice thing to know is that, despite not having a background in hardware, Samy is able to run with the best of hardware researchers
Daniel Grießhaber created this convenient tool to test your WiFi Security against attackers:
Demonstrate how easy it is to crack a WiFi Password or jam your WiFi so you can’t access the internet. Designed for education and self-tests.
ESPTool has the following hardware:

This is 2016, and almost every hacker dabbles with SMD parts now, unlike back in the day. This means investing in at least some specialized tools and equipment to make the job easier. One handy tool is the SMD soldering tweezers – useful not only for manual soldering of parts, but also for de-soldering them…
This is the continuation of a series where I create a PCB in every software suite imaginable. Last week, I took a look at KiCad, made the schematic representation for a component, and made a schematic for the standard reference PCB I’ve been using for these tutorials. Now it’s time to take that schematic, assign…
Jesse Mejia developed this project to control DJ lights and LEDs from any software or hardware that can transmit MIDI:

We’re offering our fast-turn super swift service for only an additional $5/sqin until New Year’s!
Need 2-layer boards in a hurry? Our Super Swift Service has the same quality you know and love, with an even faster turn time of 5 business days.
Pricing
Happy Holidays! Until Jan 1st, we’re reducing the price of to $10 per square inch, which includes three copies of your design.
For example, a 2 square inch board would cost $20 and you’d get three copies of your board. This includes our Free Shipping option, although expedited shipping options are available.
Starting Jan 1st, the price will return to the normal rate of $89 + $5 per square inch.
Turn Times
Orders are sent to fabrication daily, and will ship within 5 business days days.
You can get a quote, approve a design, and pay for an order at OSH Park.
Super Swift Service is not available for Medium Run or Four Layer orders.
As a special bonus, orders placed before 11AM on Monday will ship by Friday of that week.
Note for international orders: In most cases, it will cost less and arrive faster if you order on the standard 2 layer service with expedited shipping.

nickjkl created this breakout board to free up some breadboard space:
contains two I2C temperature sensors: a TC74 and a DS1631 because only one temperature sensor is never enough
