• APNIC ☛ Understanding stealthy BGP hijacking risk in the ROV era

  Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijacking has long been one of the protocol’s most persistent security threats. RPKI and ROV were standardized to provide origin authentication and mitigate the threat, but Route Origin Validation (ROV) deployment is likely to remain partial for the next decade. Partial deployment not only leaves obvious gaps in protection but also creates a subtle threat, which we refer to as ROV-related stealthy BGP hijacking (or simply stealthy hijacking).

• Robotic Systems LLC ☛ Device fault monitoring in tview

  When using tview to monitor and control moteus controllers, there have been a fair number of limitations and “gotchas”. One of the biggest for newcomers is the distinction between error checking in the d pos command, and faults that can occur during position mode itself. When using the diagnostic protocol and issuing a command, for those commands which direct moteus to perform some control action, the controller will respond with an “OK” as long as the command itself is syntactically correct. Only then is it submitted to the online control loop, after which faults resulting from the command will manifest as the controller reporting a mode of kFault or 1, with a corresponding fault code. In the diagnostic tree view, those are shown as servo_stats.mode and servo_stats.fault.
