Essentials The security researcher must have a rigorous knowledge of assembly programming language. It is expected that the machine is configured with the following tools: OllyDbg Assembly programming knowledge CFF explorer Patching native binaries When the source code is not provided, it is still possible to patch the corresponding software binaries in order to remove various security restrictions imposed by the vendor, as well as fixing the inherent bugs in the source code....

I’ll cut to the chase with this one. Garmin Speak isn’t for me as I prefer Apple’s CarPlay, but it does have a few interesting features that make it worth considering for Alexa fans. If you rely on your iPhone for GPS and want a simple dash-mounted display, Garmin Speak is a handy and compact navigation solution. It features a small screen that displays navigation cues like your next turn direction and distance, and Garmin Speak even displays lane guidance which Apple Maps only added with iOS 11....

The UK entered glove-wearing weather in the last week or two, leaving the annual problem of how to use touchscreen devices when out and about. If you’ve ever used cheap touchscreen gloves, you’ve probably been disappointed. Most aren’t good at either job: they aren’t very warm, and their touchscreen performance is poor. Jordan was impressed when he tried out a couple of pairs of Mujjo’s touchscreen gloves almost two years ago, and as I still use the company’s Leather Wallet Case as the daily driver for my iPhone 6s, I thought I’d put the latest gloves to the test …...

See that little $190 daughter card up there^? It houses 240GB of Transcend SSD and it could replace the 64GB or 128GB SSD that came in your MacBook Air in as little as 5 minutes. Even better, Transcend just released larger versions in 480GB and 960GB sizes to blow your SATA III MacBook Air or Pro into new worlds of space. Keep in mind these are SATA-based SSDs and Apple’s latest round of MacBook Pro/Airs came with speedier PCIe SSDs so you can’t use these on Apple’s late 2013/2014 models (see bottom of the article for compatibility list)....

Reuters is today running a profile on Apple CEO Tim Cook. There’s of course the inevitable angle in there: stock down, no major new products launched, questions asked about whether Cook has what it takes. But what emerges is a picture of a man who knows he isn’t Steve Jobs and isn’t trying to be. Yet who also doesn’t shy away from making big decisions in tough circumstances. Insiders also said that Cook’s quiet demeanour shouldn’t be mistaken for lack of steel....

When the first generation Apple Watch debuted in 2015, people often called it the Dick Tracy watch because you could make phone calls from your wrist like the comic book strip detective known for his 2-way wrist radio. Apple Watch wasn’t fully there yet, however, because it needed a nearby iPhone to actually carry those phone calls. Answering the phone on your watch could be convenient, but it was mostly just a neat demo since you had to carry the iPhone anyway....

As the whole thing zips up, it’s one of few cases that completely protects the iPad whilst in transit. Read on for my full review of the BookBook for iPad Pro after the jump … First things first. This case is thick and pretty heavy; that’s the physical nature of something that looks like a bound hard-cover book. It’s also sort of meant to be seen — aside from some zip pulls, it would fit in on an actual library bookshelf....

We’ve been testing out Twelve South’s Magic Trackpad + Apple wireless keyboard unifier for some time now and in short: it’s awesome. The Magic Wand works as advertised and is incrediblity simple to set up and start using. Simply slide your wireless keyboard and magic trackpad into the aluminum bar, push in the piece of supplied rubber to keep both input devices in place, and you’re set. Many users of the wireless keyboard and trackpad with their Mac desktops have long noticed that the trackpad tends to slide far from the keyboard....

The first round of Apple Watch stands were just that, accessories designed to keep your Apple Watch from rubbing against your nightstand or desk. This month, we officially moved into the second wave — powered Apple Watch docks — with the release of Boostcase’s Bloc and Nomad’s Pod ($60). Boxy, flat, and long, Bloc was a clean design with questionable practicality, but Pod makes a lot more sense: like the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable it holds inside, it’s a partially metal and partially plastic puck you can easily take anywhere and use to charge any Apple Watch....

Today we’re taking a look at Apple’s 6th generation iPod touch for 2015 and determining whether or not it’s worth the money. It’s been a while since the iPod touch has been refreshed and even though it’s a minor one, this time around it brings along some important changes. If you’ve had Apple’s iPod touch on your must-have gadget list, there are a few things you need to know… The packaging is exactly the same and you won’t find much inside, but getting into the box, we have the 6th generation iPod touch front and center....

The CW’s Riverdale spinoff pilot Katy Keene has officially begun filming. An adaptation of the Archie Comics, Riverdale puts a stylish noir spin on Archie Andrews and the other residents of The Town With Pep, and has continued to explore other dark genres (crime-thriller, murder mystery) since it premiered in early 2017. The popular show has further given rise to a spinoff TV series in the form of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which was set-up to air on The CW before it moved to Netflix (which streams Riverdale outside the U....

Native Union is best known for making tech accessories that feature stand out designs with a dash of fashion. Its latest product continues that trend by mixing attractive materials and fun patterns with a low profile wireless charging pad for iPhone and Qi-compatible devices. Native Union’s Drop Wireless Charger also happens to compliment the space gray HomePod perfectly… It takes a lot for a Qi pad to stand out — especially when bargain basement price options are available online — but Native Union’s Drop Wireless Charger is worth consideration if you care about how it looks....

Director Rian Johnson shares the creative thought process on his decision to make sure Star Wars: The Last Jedi is different from its predecessors. The eighth film in the Skywalker saga and second one from the sequel trilogy, the film followed up J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens two years prior. It earned an impressive $1.3 billion at the global box office, making it a smash hit. But while many loved it due to its bold storytelling, it also gained criticism from the massive fan community, making it one of the most divisive blockbusters in recent years....

Update: Commenters pointed out the update is not going well…so proceed with caution. As Roxio’s Toast moves from burning DVDs and BluRays to a “media toolkit” that allows easy social sharing and converting of audio/video (as well as burning/archiving), it is also getting updated with new Macintosh features. Today, Roxio’s Optical media burning software goes to 11.1 and adds the following updates: StackSocial is Offering Roxio Toast 11 Titanium, the Ultimate Media kit, for $50...

Even though I’ve had a fair bit of experience with video projectors, I took Celluon’s PicoPro somewhat for granted when I reviewed it this January. I praised the pocket-sized projector, which squeezed a 720p laser video display and speaker into the footprint of an iPhone 6 Plus, but I didn’t triple-underscore how much easier it was to use than most of its rivals. PicoPro worked so well and so quietly with such little effort that I hardly thought about it....

Friends have often expressed surprise at the fact that I continue to use wired headphones. My beautifully-portable and much-loved Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones go with me almost everywhere, while my Master & Dynamic MH40s are my go-to headphones in the living room. Friends know my aversion to visible cables, and I’m usually an ‘any excuse for a gadget’ type guy, so why, they ask, do I continue to wear wired headphones?...

As someone who uses timeline-based apps such as Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X on a regular basis, horizontal display real estate is incredibly important to me. When it comes to editing video and audio, the bigger the monitor the better. With the recent popularity of extra-wide 21:9 monitors, I’ve come to understand that width can make a major difference in managing timeline-based editing workflows as well. The extra horizontal real estate is also a nice option for watching movies shot with a 2....

When I tried the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, one of the things that put me off was the quality of the keyboards available at the time. The only one I could get hold of on day one was the Logitech Create, which I found ugly and not a great typing experience. The Apple Smart Keyboard, that I got to try later, was a bit prettier but still not fantastic to type on....

Warning: This story has spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker writer Chris Terrio reveals the film’s ending is meant to rectify Luke and Leia’s separation in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Rise of Skywalker caps off the decades-long saga by closing the door on the Skywalker line. The massive finale of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker earned mixed reviews, finding itself with lower audience and critics scores than previous installments....
