  • OSSIM is a pain to install, but does tick all your boxes. But I think its basically abandoned by AT&T to force people on to Alienvault.

    It installs to a VM, but has some very weird hard coded quirks, like expecting the network cards to be ethX, and the harddisks to be /dev/sdX. I can’t remember exactly how I got it installed, but I can dig out the libvirt config if it helps.

    From a reddit comment, so could be lies:

    yes…here’s an excerpt from the story…

    “An Electrician ended up with stars in his eyes after being zapped by 14,000 volts during a serious accident at work. The 42 year-old man from California developed the eye disease cataracts after the high voltage current surged through his body. His shoulder touched a live wire and the current passed through his entire body - including the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. The effect was two bizarre star-shaped electrical burns in his eyes, according to The New England Journal of Medicine. Dr Bobby Korn, an associate professor of clinical ophthalmology at the University of California, San Diego, treated the unnamed patient. Dr Korn told NBC News: “The extreme current and voltage that passed through this important natural wire caused damage to the optic nerve itself.” Cataracts is clouding on the lens inside the eye which leads to limited vision and the most common cause of blindness. The electrician’s story was published in the January issue of the journal. The accident happened 10 years ago and the patient still has poor vision in both of his eyes.”

    To go through that with only “poor vision”, pretty damn lucky








  • Are you from Tuya? They seem hellbent on locking their stuff down to the cloud.

    Perhaps point out to your management that IOT is an enthusiast driven market. If you appease the enthusiasts, they will recommend your products to their less technically inclined friends.

    Enthusiasts want both: a good initial software ecosystem, and the option to break out of that if required. If your company can offer that, even if it involves voiding the warrenty, we’ll buy and recommend their stuff.

    In the case of Tuya, their stuff was historically super easy to open, solder some jumpers and flash (or exploit the OTA to flash). I bought loads of their power boards and lights. In some ways I was an ideal consumer, I bought their stuff, voided the warrenty immediately (so no support calls), and never used their cloud, so didn’t waste their resources. Now they are making it near impossible, and I won’t touch their stuff.

    All that said, good luck, your gonna need it.
