Manifattura Automobili Torino. Manifattura Automobili Torino or M.A.T. is an Italian company, active in the automotive bodywork sector, founded in Turin on 21 October 2014 as Società a responsabilità limitata, by Paolo Garella, after his departure from Pininfarina.

The deed of incorporation into the company was signed by the partners Paolo Garella and Paolo Griot; M.A.T., in addition to the design and consultancy services, is engaged in the production of the New Stratos, a new edition of Lancia Stratos, in factory of Rivalta di Torino.

History 
M.A.T. is an automotive company that designs, develops and manufactures luxury cars and one off vehicles. The first projects were the SCG003C & S, the Apollo Intensa Emozione and the Devel Sixteen.

In January 2018, production of 25 New Stratos was launched, presenting the vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show that same year. The New Stratos project was born in 2010, when the German entrepreneur Michael Stoschek commissioned Pininfarina to reissue the Lancia Stratos, made with the intention of keeping faith with the original project. The 2010 New Stratos was a custom built around the chassis of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, suitably shortened and equipped with the same 540 HP V8 engine for a weight of .
The project was personally followed by Paolo Garella, who took it with him to M.A.T. Thanks to an agreement with Stoschek, the New Stratos is now in limited production.

In December 2018, M.A.T. signed an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Aspark for the development and final construction of the Aspark Owl electric supercar. From the year of its foundation, the craft activity consisting of design to construction on commission, takes place in the factory located in Rivalta di Torino.

Boot scraper. A boot-scraper, door scraper, mud scraper, or decrottoir is a device consisting of a metal blade, simple or elaborate, permanently attached to the wall or to the sidewalk at the entrance to a building to allow visitors to scrape snow, mud, leaves, or manure off the soles of their footwear before entering.

Appearance 
The simplest shoe scrapers could be a rectangular sheet of metal, a horizontal bar, or thick steel wire, but many had more complex shapes made of cast iron or wrought iron with horizontal center piece to scrape off the sole, vertical scraping surfaces to clean the sides of the boot, and other shapes to access concave area by the heel.

On building entrances, boot scrapers could be cemented into the pavement, protrude from a house walls, hide in a niche built into the facade, or sometimes integrated into wrought-iron banisters.

History 

The scrapers appeared at the end of the 18th century, at the same time as the sidewalks and abounded in the 19th century big cities, in the times of horse-drawn carriages and dirt roads. Originally placed directly on foot paths, some were banned as a danger to public safety and placed in niches in the facades.

Through the 20th century, the scrapers of European cities fell into disuse and many were removed during roadworks, or salvaged for ferrous metals.

Notable locations 
 At the British Prime Minister's office, 10 Downing Street in London, there are two ornate cast-iron Victorian shoe scrapers symmetrically on the right and left of the door.
 On the top step of the front staircase of Goethe's house in Weimar there is a simple shoe scraper made of a rectangular plate.
 In New York City's Greenwich Village, shoe scrapers are integrated into the banisters of some historic townhouses.
 On Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts, shoe scrapers are a feature of most historic houses.

Fifth wheel (Brooks Walker). Brooks Walker was an American inventor. His inventions included Venetian blinds. At the time of his death in 1984, he owned over 250 patents. Walker owned the Shasta Forest lumber company.

Early life 
He was born in Minneapolis. He earned a mechanical engineering degree from U.C. Berkeley, in 1925.

Fifth Wheel 
In the 1930s, Walker invented a device which added a fifth wheel to cars to aid parallel parking. The extra wheel was mounted on the rear of the vehicle, at right angles to the rest of the wheels. When in use, the fifth wheel lifted the back of the car off its normal rear wheels, allowing the rear of the car to swing laterally.

Walker was granted a patent for his device, described as a "vehicle lifting and traversing device", in 1935. He demonstrated the device, which was featured in LIFE magazine.

He was unable to sell his invention to the automotive industry. Walker continued to attempt to market his device into the 1970s.

Reliable Data Transfer. Reliable Data Transfer is a topic in computer networking concerning the transfer of data across unreliable channels.  Unreliability is one of the drawbacks of packet switched networks such as the modern internet, as packet loss can occur for a variety of reasons, and delivery of packets is not guaranteed to happen in the order that the packets were sent.  Therefore, in order to create long-term data streams over the internet, techniques have been developed to provide reliability, which are generally implemented in the Transport layer of the internet protocol suite.  

In instructional materials, the topic is often presented in the form of theoretical example protocols which are themselves referred to as "RDT", in order to introduce students to the problems and solutions encountered in Transport layer protocols such as the Transmission Control Protocol. These sources often describe a pseudo-API and include Finite-state machine diagrams to illustrate how such a protocol might be implemented, as well as a version history.  These details are generally consistent between sources, yet are often left uncited, so the origin of this theoretical RDT protocol is unclear.

Example Versions 
Sources that describe an example RDT protocol often provide a "version history" to illustrate the development of modern Transport layer techniques, generally resembling the below:

Reliable Data Transfer 1.0 
With Reliable Data Transfer 1.0, the data can only be transferred via a reliable data channel.  It is the most simple of the Reliable Data Transfer protocols in terms of algorithm processing.

Reliable Data Transfer 2.0 
Reliable Data Transfer 2.0 supports reliable data transfer in unreliable data channels.  It uses a checksum to detect errors.  The receiver sends acknowledgement message if the message is complete, and if the message is incomplete, it sends a negative acknowledgement message and requests the data again.

Reliable Data Transfer 2.1 
Reliable Data Transfer 2.1 also supports reliable data transfers in unreliable data channels and uses a checksum to detect errors. However, to prevent duplicate messages, it adds a sequence number to each packet. The receiver sends acknowledgement message with corresponding sequence ID if the data is complete, and sends a negative acknowledgement message with corresponding sequence ID and asks the sender to send again if the message is not complete.

Reliable Data Transfer 3.0 
Reliable Data Transfer 3.0, like earlier versions of the protocol, supports reliable data transfer in unreliable data channels, uses checksums to check for errors, and adds sequence numbers to data packets. Additionally, it includes a countdown timer to detect packet loss. If the sender cannot acknowledge specific data in a certain duration, it will consider as packet as lost and will send it again.

Pipedream (toolkit). Pipedream is a software framework for malicious code targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial control systems (ICS). First publicly disclosed in 2022, it has been described as a "Swiss Army knife" for hacking. It is believed to have been developed by state-level Advanced Persistent Threat actors.

The name "Pipedream" was given by the cybersecurity company Dragos; the cybersecurity company Mandiant uses the name "Incontroller". It has been compared with the Industroyer toolkit used in the December 2015 Ukraine power grid cyberattack. Dragos refers to the authors of the software as Chernovite.

Details 
The toolkit consists of custom-made tools that, once they have established initial access in an operational technology (OT) network, enables them to scan for, compromise, and control certain ICS/SCADA devices, including the following:

 Schneider Electric PLCs,
 OMRON Sysmac NEX PLCs, and
 Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) servers.

The toolkit has a modular architecture and enables cyber actors to conduct highly automated exploits against targeted devices. The tools have a virtual console with a command interface that mirrors the interface of the targeted ICS/SCADA device. Modules interact with targeted devices, enabling operations by lower-skilled cyber actors to emulate higher-skilled actor capabilities.

APT actors can leverage the modules to scan for targeted devices, conduct reconnaissance on device details, upload malicious configuration/code to the targeted device, back up or restore device contents, and modify device parameters.

In addition, the APT actors can use a tool that installs and exploits a known-vulnerable ASRock-signed motherboard driver, AsrDrv103.sys, exploiting CVE-2020-15368 to execute malicious code in the Windows kernel. Successful deployment of this tool can allow APT actors to move laterally within an IT or OT environment and disrupt critical devices or functions.
