Mr. Radar: Layer 1 Recon

When assessing a building’s network security from an adversarial perspective, it can often be helpful to look for open network ports that are easily accessible. These ports can provide a means for an adversary to plug in a convert network device and may also provide the means by which further network compromise may be possible. …

555 Timer in Bistable Mode

So far in the 555 timer series I’ve discussed 2 different modes of operation: Astable mode and Monostable mode. There is however, a third less used mode called Bistable mode where the 555 can be configured to output a high or a low on demand. There are no pesky timing resistors or capacitors. The circuit …
