Hardware + Software + Development

Security related Hardware, Development Platforms, Electronics Learning Packages, etc…

Our Favorite Platform of all-time for learning ages say twelve years old to sixty-five years old…

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for anyone making interactive projects.

https://www.arduino.cc

The Processing Software Platform is Complimentary to the Arduino Hardware/Software Platform.  It is highly recommended to explore/learn/develop with both, simultaneously if possible…

https://processing.org

Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology. There are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning and prototyping.

Processing is open source and is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Projects created with Processing are also cross-platform, and can be used on macOS, Windows, Android, Raspberry Pi, and many other Linux platforms.

For the more experienced and one of our two current favorite development platforms regarding that of Radio Communication (RF):

https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/one/

HackRF One from Great Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz. Designed to enable test and development of modern and next generation radio technologies, HackRF One is an open source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation.

Our other favored development platform focused on Secure & Custom (Tailored) Asset Tracking is:

The Particle.io Tracker One

The Particle Tracking System: The most flexible and customizable asset-tracking solution on the market

Track Anything & Everything: Designed to integrate with any external sensors to enable your business to track asset location, along with temperature, sound, motion, air quality and more

Built for rapid deployment: Deploy your way with field-ready devices pre-packaged with reference firmware applications and out-of-the-box features like geolocation mapping, location tracking, edge geofencing, & location fusion

Everything you need for reprogrammability: Continuously iterate and improve your assets even after deployment with Particle’s OTA updates and No Code Configuration

WordPress

40%+ (Over Forty Percent!?) of ALL Websites on the World Wide Web (WWW) use the Content Management System called WordPress. 

That is NOT a statistic we are proud of but it is true nonetheless…

The latest Software package for installation on a web host, the most popular (on the World Wide Web/WWW)

The Content Management System (CMS) called WordPress:

Windows

Eventually some articles regarding Microsoft Windows, Security, Development and other related useful content.

Deep Dark Web

Eventually some useful information regarding the Deep Web, also known as the Dark Web, regardless what people call it, it is over 500x (Five-Hundred Times) Larger than what y’all call the Word Wide Web.  You know, WWW, like when you go to a “Web Site” in a “Web Browser” such as Internet Explorer or Edge (Please NEVER USE either unless you are being PAYED or want to be PLAYED), Opera, FireFox, Netscape (haha), etc…

You can only reach the Deep Web using tools which most people do not have on hand.  Such as the Tor Browser Bundle, or I2P, there are others…

There is more to the Deep Web than just web pages, such as things called Services.  It is hard to explain, just as it is as simple as can be…

It is More Secure than the World Wide Web, just as Anonymity can be Dangerous in the wrong hands or if misused…

The Deep Dark Web is HIGHLY Misunderstood, just as it is Absolutely Necessary and Amazingly Powerful.

Just think for a moment, if the Deep Web is as Dark and Dangerous as some try to portray it to be, why then does the New York Times have a dedicated website on this large world-wide network?

The New York Times Deep Dark Web Address:

We use it daily at IAD Systems, and we are constantly learning, just as the Deep Dark Web is Constantly Evolving (as is the WWW).
