X crashes after installing Nvidia driver on CentOS or RHEL
Recently I’ve been having trouble with the Nvidia driver on CentOS 6. Opening any kind of app that uses the GPU like Google Chrome, Firefox or even Nvidia’s own nvidia-settings causes X to crash and restart. Luckily, I’ve found the solution, and it has to do with libglx.so. Navigate to < pre>/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/ < pre> and…

Malicious traffic detection using traffic fingerprints and machine learning
Over the past year, we’ve worked on a machine learning project at Ben Gurion University of the Negev. The project attempted to find out if we can identify malicious underlying traffic (viruses, botnets, command and control channels) hiding interspersed in ‘normal’ network traffic, without using advanced heuristics or deep packet inspection – but by using…

Windows 8.1 adds new language after every restart
Up until recently, after every reset, I’d get a new language added to my language bar. And it was a strange one, Upper Sorbian. It would always appear in my bar, but never in the language settings pane I had a workaround that would remove the language until the next restart. It required manually adding…
