Whats real scary to me about the horrible battery casings on the gloves is how they're marketed for skiing. Skiing and snowboarding both tend to involve lots of hits to the arms where the batteries are mounted when you're falling since tucking and taking the slam is way safer than trying to catch yourself and breaking your wrist.

@lucasmatsuoca 19 дней назад

i mean, i sort of get it but if someone wants to get your fingerprint, it can be obtained very easily cause no one is actvely thinking 24/7 about all their fingerprints on everything they touch. For example, if I want your fingerprint, i can casually talk to you and ask you to hold something as a favor while i pretend to tie my shoe or whatever. Or i can just observe your routine from distance and take the fingerprint from anything you have touched. But yeah, i guess swiping is better than doing nothing at all

@markglover2525 Год назад

One thing to watch out for with HPS is that - in my experience - they will swamp any WiFi kit in he beam path. I used one to detect people approaching my front door and trigger a dog-bark sound effect. It worked well, but it caused my video doorbell to go off-line whenever it was active.

@GogogoFolowMe Год назад

I kind of guessed such sensor should exist as I installed a rather recent automatic ceiling lamp in an inside corridor. This lamp had no visible sensor, and this fucker even turned on when I was coming from behind a wooden door before even moving it. I found that insane and guessed it was some kind of very sensitive acoustic or radio sensor.

Since 2015, I've had that fingerprint sensor installed on my front house door that has been working pretty well. Recently, I came across another fingerprint sensor, the FPC1020A, which caught my attention. Not only is it faster than my previous sensor, but it's also much slimmer in design. Additionally, I was impressed to hear that they claim to have a false rate of only 0.0001%. Overall, I'm excited about the potential benefits of upgrading to the FPC1020A and wanted to share my experience with others.

@alexandrezani Год назад

I don't know what your threat model is, but I want to note that because the sensor does the authentication, someone could remove the sensor and simulate an authentication signal. (Obviously, it's not a big deal for the average home owner, but just in case you happen to have reason to worry about more sophisticated attackers.)

@mrfrenzy. Год назад

Yes, there really should be encrypted communication between the sensor and the door controller inside your building.

@elek101 Год назад

@@alexandrezani Most professional access systems use wiegand, which can also be easily attacked. Encrypted communication is rare.

@alexandrezani Год назад

@@elek101 Right, my point was less about encryption than about where authentication is performed. Wiegand systems will usually read your card and send the contents of the card to the controller which decides whether the card is valid. That is subject to a replay attack, but you need to know the content of the card. With the above fingerprint sensor, the sensor has a fingerprint database. It checks your fingerprint against its database and sends the user id of the authenticated user to the controller. Without knowing anything about the user's fingerprint, you can just send a user id to the controller. I think the user id is 32 bits and sequentially assigned in the database, so it's probably not very hard to guess it.

I would go as far as to say the USB isolator board is highly recommended for beginners on the hobby. I nearly fried the USB port on my work laptop due to a small speck of solder causing a short on my very first protoboard Arduino project. Luckily the laptop had protection circuitry and it only powered off and stayed "dead" for some 15 minutes. I made several beginner mistakes but if I had one of these isolators back then, I could've avoided the momentary feeling of horror. :D

Aliexpress is great for smaller things that you can't find locally or on some more popular stores. I ordered 2 M.2 ssds from Amazon, only to find out that I didn't have any screws to screw them into the motherboard. Everywhere I looked, I couldn't find those exact screws. Then I found them selling M.2 heatsinks for really cheap, and they came with the screws and a small screwdriver. That was a great deal for me since one of the SSDs didn't come with a heatsink, anyway. It cools the SSD almost as well as the one with the official heatsink. I was hesitant about buying from Aliexpress at first, but it's great for such things, just always take a closer look when you're buying something, because it isn't as well regulated as some bigger stores.

@paulg3336 Год назад

I have bought more than 100 items from Aliexpress ,from a 3d printer to small items with very few problems. And those were due to the shipping rather than the vendor.

@@backgammonbacon I tried looking for them, but couldn't find anything locally. Amazon has them but they are much more expensive when you include the delivery cost. I paid around 5 bucks for that heatsink, screws and screwdriver combo. I'd have to pay over 15 bucks just to get the screws and the screwdriver from Amazon.

@conorstewart2214 Год назад

@@paulg3336 Yeah I buy most things from aliexpress now unless I need it fast in which case I will use a more local supplier. I have had a few issues with products not being as advertised or damaged and Aliexpress stepped in and gave me a refund for them, but for the most part everything is fine. The best tips are if it is something of value make sure the store has been around for a while and has good reviews or are a manufacturers own store. A lot of the cheap stuff you can get locally you can get even cheaper from aliexpress since there are companies that just buy that stuff in bulk from china and stick their logo on it and then charge a huge markup on it. Aliexpress vendors sometimes have local warehouses too. When I bought my 3D printer it would have been £30 to get it shipped from china or free shipping from their UK warehouse, I have bought filament from a UK warehouse too and it comes in a couple of days.

It's more pricy and bigger than the Aliexpress thingie, and it does not come with an isolated DC-DC converter, but for what i need it to do (usually isolate an USB link for monitoring a device while EMC testing with high voltage burst/surge/ESD) it's perfect.

The problem with the self contained fingerprint readers is that they just send a confirm signal to the controller making them vulnerable. The reader can be removed from the installation and the wiring tapped. Any device like that should ALWAYS have two parts, an internal and external unit. The external unit just sends the raw data to the internal unit which then figures out if the data is good or not.

@mabakalox2353 Год назад

raw data sounds not safe either, easy repeat attack, better approach is only internal unit which, ideally allows loading custom asymmetric keys, or at least manufacture trusted one for singing payload, that way any external unit might be used (like arduino) which needs to store only public part of key for signature checking and validating id of payload (repeat attack protection). And depending how paranoid are you, some tamper protection could be added to finger print sensor to prevent stealing of private part of the key.

@spudhead169 Год назад

@@mabakalox2353 Over engineered solution. Repeat attacks are easy to defend against. For brute forcing you just introduce an enforced delay between scans. For data repeating, you hash the data from the sensor scan and keep a log of previously used hashes. Then just check to see if a scan produces the same hash as a previous attempt and if so reject it. Fingerprint scans should never be exactly identical. You could also use a simple GDO counter. Both units have a PSK the sensor encrypts its counter with the PSK and the lock decrypts it, then checks it's a value higher than the last successful scan. Data repeating would then not work and without knowing the PSK you can't manufacture a fake scan even if you have a dump of a successful scan. There's no need to go jumping into RSA.

I really like the idea of the fingerprint door lock 🔐 I wanted to try. I will look for a similar fingerprint model online thank you :3

The grinding attachment you pointed at in the intro is a tool sold at Harbor Freight. Not sure I would recommend it, but its fro sharpening your drill bits. Definitely recommend buying tools from stateside stores though, as the quality of some cant be guaranteed... recall some pictures of tools that broke apart due to being the wrong (cheaper) grade of steel...

Subbed! Definitely trying out the fingerprint reader. I love that your voicing your videos in English as well, however at 11:40 when you say "worked" is sounds quite a lot like "broke", and I was confused until I replayed it a couple times. Great video! Keep them coming!

@JonathanDeWitt1988 Год назад

I look forward to seeing that fingerprint reader in a project. I'd also be interested to see how you would incorporate the radar into a project.

The USB isolator looks really good for USB microphones, I wonder if anyone has done some more intensive testing on it

@ricardombr Год назад

The usb isolator would be amazing for using public chargers, i.e the bus.

@sgtfoose8842 Год назад

Love your videos, thanks! I buy lot's of e-stuff from Ali as well, mainly for experimenting with Home Assistant. Please do some more useful stuff like gauges, valves, relays, sensors etc!

And if you can modify those "garbage" and turn them into useful things, that really help! I think some of them just the circuit was bad or have minor flaw that can be fixed and good to have a pre-built product to tinkle with than build from scratch.

2:51 - I think this is really useful for usb oscilloscopes, if something goes wrong, you will not kill laptop.

@boris035..4 Год назад

I'm just enjoying your knowledge about electrics, it's so nice to watch you testing stuff out. Keep up with good work!!!

@TeslaNick2 Год назад

I've got several of the USB isolators and they work really well.

@awesomefacepalm Год назад

This is a great series, looking forward for more

@johnhumbug5199 Год назад

the recommendation for the human presence radar comes in handy, since i already ordered 4 of them before watching your vid

@Ouefdie Год назад

The USB Isolator would be interesting for a USB Soundcard Oscilloscope, of course only for Audio applications, but could be a cheap way to get an oscilloscope.

@H0mework Год назад

You can just use the headphone jack anyway. Neither of them are very good oscilloscopes.

@Ouefdie Год назад

@@H0mework Well the 10V Peak to Peak of Eurorack wouldn't be good for the Jacks i reckon.

Ich benutze den Präsenz Sensor mit esphome in Home Assistent. Der Vorteil mit ESP Home ist dass du den Sensor überall hin machen kannst, wo du WLAN und 3V3/5V hast
