CVE-2023-45282: In openmct 2.2.5 before 545a177, prototype pollution can occur via an import action.(9th Oct 2023)

Preface: Java is highly functional in several data science processes like data analysis, including data import, cleaning data, deep learning, statistical analysis, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and data visualization.

Background: Open MCT Web is a platform single page applications which runs entirely in the browser. Most applications will want to additionally interact with server side resources, to (for example) read telemetry data or store user created objects. This interaction is handled by individual bundles using APIs which are supported in browser (such as XMLHttpRequest, typically wrapped by Angular’s $http).

Vulnerability details: In NASA Open MCT (aka openmct) 2.2.5 before 545a177, prototype pollution can occur via an import action.

Ref: Prototype pollution is a JavaScript vulnerability that enables an attacker to add arbitrary properties to global object prototypes, which may then be inherited by user-defined objects.

OSIRIS-REx accomplished feat, next station is Apophis (24-09-2023)

Preface: A long-awaited asteroid sample has landed in the US, said CNN – https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/24/world/osiris-rex-asteroid-sample-return-scn/index.html

Background: Asteroid 101955 Bennu – Level 3 on the Palermo impact hazard index, a small celestial body with the highest risk of impacting the Earth.

Early in the history of the solar system, the gravity of newly formed Jupiter brought an end to the formation of planetary bodies in this region and caused the small bodies to collide with one another, fragmenting them into the asteroids we observe today.

the slight push created when the asteroid absorbs sunlight and re-emits that energy as heat — and gravitational tugs from other celestial bodies, it has drifted closer and closer to Earth from its likely birthplace: the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Why does NASA track it?

Chicxulub crater, the buried remnants of an asteroid impact off the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico that killed off the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

About Aliens corpses in Mexico: If I am real (17 Sep 2023)

Preface: Any matters would have two different angle (positive and negative). If you stand on negative side, even facts in front of you. Perhaps you still questioning. On Sep 2023, there is other new round of aliens corpses discover news. But this time look special, it goes during Mexico’s congress meeting, politicians held their first ever hearing on UFOs.

Ref: The two remains were discovered by workers at a diatom mine in Cusco, Peru.

What if this Alien corpses is not a counterfeit. However, how do we know what they are? And where they belong. The truth is we have no information traceability. Perhaps we only relies so called myth or oral information passed down through the ages.

Background: Juan Diez de Betanzos wrote one of the most important sources on the conquest of the Inca civilization, Narrative of the Incas. Mainstream archeologists think this is myth. According to his description, Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca (sometimes the cave of Paqariq Tampu) to bring light during dark times. He created the sun, moon and stars. He created humans by blowing air into stones, but his first creations were mindless giants, much to his displeasure. Viracocha is the god of Incan. Similarly to Jesus Christ in our modern religious.

Remark: This scenario of this descriptions look similar Bible, ancient myth from China and Babylonian cuneiform tablets.

Is it a god or an advanced civilization?

Ancient civilizations did not have the basic concept of airplanes. When they see something flying in the sky. They will think it is God.

The above argument can be confirmed by previous European newspaper reports.

In 14th April,1561, an unidentified flying objects (UFO) above Nuremberg, Germany. Above diagram shown a broadsheet news article printed in April 1561. Is it a coincidence? A pillar shape unknown flying object shown on the picture. As we know, in 1903 the Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane. Talking about three hundred and fifty years ago, human being do not have airplane concept. As a result, when they seen similar shape of UFO. Perhaps they will only draw or use the key word pillar for description.

Who taught the Incas to mine gold?

The Incas were an agricultural society. From some perspectives, this is unbelievable! Besides, the water supply and drainage system setup in Machu Picchu is remarkable. Why did the Inca civilization like gold? Did they saw an advanced civilization come to earth do the gold mining on earth?

Quote: Obsessed with a treasure city, conquistador Francisco Pizarro captured the Inca emperor Atahualpa. To spare his life, the emperor offered up the largest cache of gold the Spanish ever acquired in the Americas, National Geographic Magazine said.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/history-magazine/article/inca-empire-gold-spain-pizarro-atahualpa-treasure

The above set of questions will make you think about whether the mainstream historical information written in books may miss some details. But those missing details may not be something people think about yet.

Travel through mysterious ruins in between Peru and Bolivia

A brief introduction to the mysterious ruins

a. Tiwanaku (Gateway of the sun) – Tiwanaku is a Pre-Columbian archaeological site in western Bolivia, near Lake Titicaca, about 70 kilometers from La Paz, and it is one of the largest sites in South America. Viracocha was actually worshiped by the pre-Incas of Peru before being included in the Inca pantheon. In Inca mythology, the god gave the headdress and battle ax to Manco Capac, the first Inca ruler. The god’s name was also taken by the Inca king Viracocha Inca (died 1438 AD), which may also be when the god officially joined the Inca clan.

b. Lake Titicaca – the beginning of the Inca Empire according to the legend, it was in this place where the Andean world began, when the god Viracocha emerged from the lake and created the sun (Inti), the moon (Mama Killa), the stars and the first people. A team of Belgian and Bolivian archaeologists has found more than 2,000 pieces of ceramic, gems and gold objects at an apparent ceremonial site beneath the waters of Lake Titicaca.

c. Six Monoliths of the Sun Temple – The Wall of the Six Monoliths in the Temple of the Sun, which weigh about 50 tons apiece. The monoliths are notable because they didn’t originate from this hill. Archaeologists are unable to explain how the rocks, which weigh about 50 tons each pieces, was transported up the hillside. Besides, the advance and precises stone cutting technology unavailable at that period of time. And rock to rock connected structure also shocked by scientists.

d. Nazca Lines – Nazca Linesextend over an area of nearly 190 square miles (500 square km). Most of the Nazca Lines were constructed more than 2,000 years ago by the people of the Nazca culture (c. 200 bce–600 ce), though some clearly predate the Nazca and are considered to be the work of the earlier Paracas culture. But only from the air can you tell what the painting is. There were no flying tools at that time. So who is the audience?

e. Mexican UAP experts display 2 alien remains at hearing (Sep 2023) – The two remains were discovered by workers in a diatom mine in Cusco, Peru. DNA identification results show that these remains neither belong to humans nor evolved from any known species on earth. Carbon 14 testing confirmed that these remains contain one-third of unknown DNA and are thousands of years old. history. Mawson also showed X-rays of alien corpses at the meeting. One of the corpses contained three egg-like objects, and another contained rare metals.

Summary: From a technical perspective, there is no knowledge base of historical details, race. It’s hard to tell what the alleged alien corpse is. But so far, ancient ruins belonging to Peru and Bolivia are popular places for people to explore advance civilization mysteries. Perhaps this time, we provide hints and empower Artificial Intelligence to find out the final answer. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Drones are similar to radio-controlled aircraft, but GPS and (5G or 4G) empowerment are leading the way. (29th Jul 2023)

Preface: Do you think Chinese meaning of intelligence and clever have similar meanings? if you ask me. Perhaps I would say that clever refers to the sensitivity of the ears and eyes. Intelligence is about your brain. Maybe you have other explanations. When you watch a sci-fi movie, the AI core sends out drones to detect and arrest people. Maybe the plot is not described in detail. Comprehensive artificial intelligence machine learning should include vision and hearing. The obvious thing about drones is the vision capabilities of AI.

Background: It seems indisputable that 5G networks can enhance the performance capabilities of drones. Perhaps, it cannot be compared with the RF capabilities of the military type. If you’re interested in the subject, you’ll notice that many manufacturers are capable of designing drones and producing them. The reason is that chip manufacturers can provide flight control chips. Many open source firmwares can be easily downloaded on Github. Throttle actuators and flight control surface actuators are also available on the electronics market. The most commonly used languages in avionics software engineering are C, C++, Ada, and Python. In the main definition of network security, the TCP/IP protocol stack is one of the important trigger factors for network attacks. 5G or RF communication is exchanged in the communication gateway. Therefore, the IP protocol will be implemented after the 5G or RF signal exchange in the gateway. So cybersecurity will never leave this technology.

Ref: STM32 F4, G4, F7 and H7 are the popular microcontroller for drone. The flight controller unit (FCU) major component is the microcontroller.

The FCU consists of a processor and an Inertial Measurement Unit with a high precision accelerometer and gyroscope, necessary for stable flight.

Is the development of science and technology in opposition to the natural environment?

Humans can send probes to Mars and create and form artificial intelligence on Earth. Drone can do the real time monitroing even in extreme dangerous zone. Today’s medical technology enhances our healthcare. But when we look at the climate today, the Antarctic icebergs are melting, causing disaster and rising sea levels. So far, the situation has not improved!

See if artificial intelligence can provide solutions for humans soon?

A hundred years later, communication was ready to receive phone call again.

Preface: When you read the newspaper, you will found some news, some prophet had prophecy alien may visit to our earth in 2023. Like a fiction. But coincidentally SITA also prepare for advance civilization communications.

MAVEN, is an orbiter dedicated to studying Mars’ atmosphere. MAVEN launched in November 2013 and arrived at Mars in September 2014.

Have you ever heard of an organization called SETI?

In 1997, scientists at the SETI Institute detected an interesting signal. Although the transmission was initially thought to be from extraterrestrial origin. It was identified as a SOHO solar research satellite later. But it did not upsad to scientists .

The SETI Institute is a non-profit organization that aims to “explore, understand and explain the origin, properties and spread of life in the universe”. SETI stands for “Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Initiative”. One of these plans is to use radio and optical telescopes to search for intentional signals from extraterrestrial intelligent life.

SETI arrange emulate Alien-like message sent to Earth in a test to prepare for the real thing.

The message went out on 24th May, 2023 from the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, a spacecraft launched in 2016 that is currently orbiting Mars to study its atmosphere. Once received in earth three different stations, the raw data containing the message was released on the internet via Filecoin, a large decentralized storage network. For details, please refer to the link – https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/01/world/seti-alien-message-test-scn/index.html

Generally speaking, it takes about 5 to 20 minutes for a radio signal to travel the distance between Mars and Earth, depending on planet positions. Using orbiters to relay messages will be more efficient because they are much closer to “Perseverance” than the Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas on Earth.

In 1901, engineer Nicola Tesla made the astonishing claim that he was receiving radio communications from Mars. His description was picked up and reported on broadly in the press.

Telsa coils are mounted in a tower structure and include coils, capacitors and spark gaps (equivalent to resistors). It constitutes the LCR circuit, which can generate radio frequency emission waves. Furthermore, such a coil structure is capable of receiving signals. Maybe that’s why he mentions that he’s getting an unknown strange signal from somewhere.

Tesla was a famous scientist. I strongly believe that he has enough facts to proof his findings. But it is sad that he is not in this world anymore. Perhaps we never find the final answer found by Tesla. But in our earth, there are more ancient ruins can tell. For example, Pyramid of Khufu, Bolivia Puma Punku advanced technology cutting stone blocks ruins and The Temple of Bacchus, …etc.

If you compare SETI’s method of rehearsing the test signal with the signal discovered by Nicholas Tesla in 1901, maybe you will see that the way we communicate in space today is similar to 1901 (the unknown signal discovered by Tesla) place. Perhaps the signal Telsa received was from a UFO near Earth. But the source of the signal was sent from Mars.

Do you know what AI thinking?But sooner or later he will become smarter than common people (8th May 2023).

Preface: The 2012 Mayans doomsday prophecy perhaps is a joke.
However the poor weather havoc and unpredictable. The sudden weather change become more destructive. As a matter of fact, scientists urge that this extreme change of weather related to current environment.
What’s more, the prophecy does not record how nature will change immediately. Nor does it say that the specified date will be over on the same day.

Background: AI inventions, similar advent of the atomic bomb, will completely change the world, said Warren Buffett.
Going back two years, some speakers at the workshop said not to worry. AI won’t affect your job. In fact, artificial intelligence will replace low-level labor in the next few years. It does not substitute 100% immediately within the specified time.
Buffett said that Microsoft founder Bill Gates once showed him the latest version of ChatGPT, in which the program can check all legal opinions in a very short time, which impressed him. He believes the power of AI technology should be cause for concern.

June 25th 2022 (APAC time zone), an extremely rare astronomical phenomenon

In the early morning of June 25th 2022 (APAC time zone), an extremely rare astronomical phenomenon “Eight Starts Converging” will be staged. During this period, Jupiter,Mars,Venus and Mercury, a total of five stars will appear in the night sky at the same time, and will be connected in a line to form the “Five Stars Convergence”, and the invisible Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are connected in a line, forming an extremely rare “eight-star converging”.

When you read the news, it mentions unknown things in the universe and you will want to know more.(22nd May 2022)

Preface: How fast are the Voyager computers?

Official Reply from NASA: Not very fast compared to today’s standards. The master clock runs at 4 MHz but the CPU’s clock runs at only 250 KHz. A typical instruction takes 80 microseconds, that is about 8,000 instructions per second. To put this in perspective, a 2013 top-of-the-line smartphone runs at 1.5 GHz with four or more processors yielding over 14 billion instructions per second.

Background: Voyager 1 launched in September 1977 and is now the farthest spacecraft from Earth. The Voyagers transmit data to Earth every day. The spacecraft collect information about their surrounding environment in real time and then send it back through radio signals. Voyager 1 data takes about 19 hours to reach Earth, and signals from Voyager 2 about 16 hours. According to official information, Voyager 1 is 14.5 million miles away from Earth (as of January 2022).

Goal of Voyager Interstellar Mission: NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) is an international network of facilities managed and operated by JPL’s Interplanetary Network Directorate. The DSN supports interplanetary spacecraft missions, radio astronomy, radar astronomy and related observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe.

Voyager 1 is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG).

About news related to the topic: NASA is investigating this ‘mystery’ data coming from Voyager 1,…..Everything about the AACS suggests it is functioning normally, yet the telemetry data it’s sending back to Earth is “invalid”, producing what appears to be randomly generated data that doesn’t match any possible state the system could be in.

For details, please refer to the website – https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/nasa-is-investigating-this-mystery-data-coming-from-voyager-1/?bhid=%7B%24external_id%7D&cid=%7B%24contact_id%7D&eh=%7B%24CF_emailHash%7D&ftag=TRE6a12a91&mid=%7B%24MESSAGE_ID%7D

Additional comments: Goal of Voyager Interstellar Mission is keen to find out unkown matter of the universe. As of January 2022, Voyager 1 is 14.5 billion miles from Earth. If Deep Space communication center receive randomly generated data.
May be it can do a colloboraton with SETI. SETI Research have several observing projects on the Allen Telescope Array. From techincal point of view, randomly generated data do not have reference model is hard to do the interpretation. If there is similar pattern or unknown signal had detected by SETI in past. If it had, perhaps make use of both set of data can do a corellation.Perhaps, it is the advanced civilization that wants to communicate with our earth.


Ref: Random numbers are numbers that occur in a sequence such that two conditions are met: (1) the values are uniformly distributed over a defined interval or set, and (2) it is impossible to predict future values based on past or present ones.

Prophecy astrology and astronomical phenomenon (16th Jan, 2022)

Preface: The history of Vedic astrology, some said it’s been around since 10,000 B.C!

Synopsis:

About Prophecy astrology: Vedic astrology refers to Indian or Hindu astrology, a system that originated in ancient India and was recorded by saints in the Vedic scriptures. Also known as “Jyotish” – the science of light Vedic astrology involves the patterns of astral light that are thought to determine our destiny.

About astronomical phenomenon: On the ecliptic plane, the planets are clustered near the line connecting the sun and the Earth. From astronomical point of view. It is considered to be Planets align in order. However, it is excluding exoplanets.

Reminder: From 3001 BC to 3000 AD, there were 49 occurrences of “six-star Planets align in order” with a θ angle below 5 degrees, “seven-star Planets align in order” 3 times, and “eight-star Planets align in order” or above did not or would not occur. If the θ angle is expanded to 10 degrees, there are 709 times “Six Stars Planets align in order”, 52 times “Seven Stars Planets align in order”, and 3 times “Eight Stars Planets align in order”.

What astrology is the term “Karasapa Yoga” derived from? Kala Sarpa Yoga, or Kala Sarpa Dosha, is one of the most concerning planetary combinations in Vedic astrology. For example planets align in order. It is often called Dosha because it mainly leads to unlucky results.
Kala Sarpa yoga is mostly ominous and thought to seriously hurt people. The results of this Dosha, while harmful, are different for everyone. The extent or scale of damage it can cause varies depending on the location and condition of the planet.

Prediction of 7 major astronomical phenomena in 2022 Meteor shower / total lunar eclipse / super full moon / rare eight planets align in order. Perhaps when planets align in order bring the Astrology attention.

In late June (25th June 2022), there will be a rare “eight stars in a row”. The seven planets Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune plus Pluto will be in a line, and there is a chance to watch it before sunrise.

Reference: We’ve heard predictions recently (presumably based on Vedic astrology).
Believe it or not, it’s all up to you.
