26c3. Day 4 : The LOL Shield, last post : SPACE INVADER !

Published by benjamin on

This is the last article on LOL Shield for Arduino before a while (I guess), this fantastic circuit from Jimmie P Rodgers : We where glad to obtain this wednesday morning a library, (under LGPL license, perfect 🙂 ) created by Alex Wenger, from the ArduinoBuch Blog, which is no less than a graphic driver for the LOL Shield !

Thanks to this wonderful piece of interrupt-based code, we where able, thanks to Aurélien help again, to write a Shoot-them-up similar to Space Invader (the ennemies don’t come the same way though …) !

And as we are free-software guys, you can download it below under a GPL v2 or later license :

And finally, a small video to show you the result on my LolShield :

How to lock a running tails with a password

As cofounder of La Quadrature du Net (a NGO fighting for freedoms in the digital age, still waiting for your support ;) ), founder of Octopuce (my company) and more generally as an hacktivist, I often use Tails, a Linux distribution trying to enhance the anonymity of our communications and enhancing our personal digital safety. Tails is very useful, not only because it allows me to carry important elements of my digital life in a simple USB dongle, protected by a strong password, but it also allows me to use the anonymisation network Tor in excellent conditions. Sadly, I was missing an important feature, for me but also for all the hacktivists and journalists whose awareness I try to raise on digital freedom and personal data protection. It's currently not possible to lock a running Tails and require a password to unlock it. After an hour of research, I finally found a simple solution, allowing you to lock your running Tails with a password, so that you can go away from your computer for a few minutes without putting your personal data in danger.
