AMOS-17 (satellite). AMOS-17  is an Israeli commercial communications satellite, part of the AMOS series of satellites.

History 
Spacecom, the AMOS satellites operator, announced in December 2016 that it has signed a US$161 million contract with Boeing to build AMOS-17, which is to replace the failed AMOS-5 satellite.

Satellite description 
AMOS-17 is a multi-band high-throughput satellite. It features a Ka-band, Ku-band anc C-band communications payload. It was built on the BSS-702MP satellite bus, transmitting in the Ka-band, Ku-band, and C-bands. It is a replacement for AMOS-5 and provides coverage over the continent of Africa, Europe and Middle East.

Launch 
It was launched on 6 August 2019, at 23:23:00 UTC by a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, from Cape Canaveral, SLC-40, Florida. The mass of the payload was too large to allow the booster to be recovered for reuse, so the customer paid for an "expended" launch.

Mission 
The satellite was reportedly aimed to be located at 17° East longitude but, early November 2019, it was at 14° East where it has been since 19 August 2019. The satellite recovered its destination to 17° East again meanwhile.

Australian Capital Territory Electricity Authority. The Australian Capital Territory Electricity Authority (ACTE or A.C.T. Electricity Authority) was an authority formed on 1 July 1963 to manage energy supply in the Australian Capital Territory. During the 1950s and 60s Canberra's population was rapidly increasing, causing excessive energy demands and price increases. In response the Minister for the Interior, Sir Gordon Freeth, formed the new Authority. The new authority aimed to allow more consumer input by giving the Australian Capital Territory Advisory Council a seat on the board. Previously the electric supply of Canberra had been managed by the Department of the Interior (Canberra).

On 1 July 1988 the Energy and Water Act 1988 was passed, merging the ACT Electricity Authority and ACT Water into ACT Electricity and Water, later ACTEW.

SWAPGS (security vulnerability). SWAPGS, also known as Spectre variant 1, is a computer security vulnerability that utilizes the branch prediction used in modern microprocessors. Most processors use a form of speculative execution, this feature allows the processors to make educated guesses about the instructions that will most likely need to be executed in the near future. This speculation can leave traces in the cache, which attackers use to extract data using a timing attack, similar to side-channel exploitation of Spectre.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures ID issued to this vulnerability is .

History 
SWAPGS is closely related to the Spectre-V1 vulnerability, which used similar side-channel vulnerabilities to access privileged cache memory in an operating system. The vulnerability was discovered by Andrei Vlad Lutas of Bitdefender and was reported to Intel. Intel coordinated with industry partners to address the issue on a software level. The first patches for SWAPGS were released on 9 July 2019 as part of the Microsoft Patch Tuesday. However, details regarding the vulnerability were not disclosed until 6 August 2019.

SWAPGS itself is an instruction to swap the GSBase register with a value stored in MSR. This is typically used to store kernel data.

Affected systems 
Any Intel-based processor that support SWAPGS and WRGSBASE instructions is affected. This includes every Intel processor starting from the Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs up to the most recent Intel processors.

Devices equipped with AMD processors are not affected, according to the company's product security update.

Mitigation 
For Windows operating system-based devices, Microsoft's security advisory lists the patches released in July 2019, which fix the vulnerability.

For Linux distributions, it is advised to check whether there are SWAPGS-specific patches that need to be applied. The kernel documentation describes the nature of the attacks and the in-kernel mitigations.

Bitdefender mentions in its original report that Apple devices are unlikely to be at risk.

Savely Feinberg. Savely Moiseevich Feinberg (; 24 December 1910 – 20 October 1973) was a Soviet nuclear physicist who contributed to the design and development of VVER nuclear reactors.

Biography 
Feinberg was born on December 24, 1910, in Baku and attended the Azerbaijan Polytechnic Institute. He is a cousin of Evgenii Feinberg. In 1932 he graduated specializing in engineer-architect. He obtained his master's degree in 1934. Between the period from 1934 to 1942, he worked at the Azneftproekt Institute. In 1942, he worked on the construction of an aircraft factory in Baku. In 1942-1943 he taught at the Higher Naval School (Baku). In 1944, he was seriously injured during the bombing in the Great Patriotic War. In 1944-1945 he worked as a structural engineer — the head of the strength group at the Gromov Flight Research Institute. Since 1945, he worked at the Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics. From 1946 until his death he worked in Laboratory No. 2 of the USSR Academy of Science(now Kurchatov Institute) as senior research fellow, head of the theoretical sector, deputy head of department of the institute. From 1947, he taught as a professor at the Department of Theoretical and Experimental Physics of Nuclear Reactors of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. He died in 1973 and was buried in the Necropolis of Novodevichy Convent.

Contributions 
The magistral ideas of Feinberg used in the developments of nuclear reactors can not be neglected. In 1958, he proposed the concept of Traveling wave reactor which is the nuclear reactor that could breed fuel within its core and he was the one who coined the term "breed-and-burn" reactor.

The Feinberg-Galanin method has been used for the calculation of the thermal utilization and thermal-flux fine structure of cluster-type fuel elements in liquid-moderated reactors such as light water reactors.

Warshipping. In computer network security, warshipping is using a physical package delivery service to deliver an attack vector to a target. This concept was first described in 2008 at the DEF CON hacking convention by Robert Graham and David Maynor as part of a talk entitled “Bringing Sexy Back: Breaking in with Style”, that included various penetration testing methods. In their implementation, an iPhone box was modified to include a larger battery, which powered a jailbroken iPhone. A first-generation iPhone was chosen for this attack based on the reported run-time of 5 days when coupled with an external battery, whereas newer 3G iPhones of the era would reportedly run for 1½ days. A social engineering pretext was described that would trick the recipient into believing they had won an iPhone, in order to explain the shipment.

The advancement of low-power electronics, thanks in part to maker culture, has greatly increased the effectiveness of this methodology as a credible method of attacking networks. In 2019, IBM X-Force Red coined the name “Warshipping” and described an attack platform that included several low-cost components that could be combined, shipped to targets, and controlled remotely for 2–3 weeks. A solar component was also described to allow the devices to run indefinitely.

Aspects of a modern warshipping attack include the following:

 Devices that are hidden from the recipient, potentially inside objects or inside the packaging material or box structure itself. 
 Command and Control (C2) capability via a dependable communication medium. Most commonly this is provided via cellular modems. 
 A power management strategy that allows the device to operate for weeks. Solar panels may be utilized to lengthen the run-time of the device. 
 One or more devices used for the operational attack. These can include radios that are built for protocols such as Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, Near Field Communication (NFC), and software-defined radio (SDR) devices for capturing multiple types of protocols. Microphones, cameras, and other capture devices could be included as well. 
 Satellite navigation (GNSS) technology for reporting on the location of the device, allowing the activation of certain capabilities upon delivery to its target. 
 Passive triangulation to get around GPS signal issues

The increasing use of large, online retailers contributes to the relevancy of this attack. In 2019, the United States Postal Service reports that they deliver 484.8 million mailpieces per day. The name is by analogy with wardriving and wardialling.
