Can you crack it?

On December 6, 2011, in Agent News, Global Intelligence, Projects, by Adam Sporne

Yes we can! Last mouth a curious cryptographic website appeared called canyoucrackit.co.uk. At first, not much was known about the purpose or origin on the website and the cryptographic challenge it showed. We noticed the site being posted around Twitter and our curiosity got the better of us and we decided to have a go [...]

Trauma triggers

On November 9, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

A trauma trigger is an experience that triggers a traumatic memory in someone who has experienced trauma. A trigger is thus a troubling reminder of a traumatic event or represed memory, although the trigger itself need not be frightening or traumatic. Triggers can be quite diverse, appearing in the form of individual people, images, Logos, [...]

Microsoft zero-day exploit still not patched

On November 4, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

Last night, Microsoft released a workaround to block a Windows kernel vulnerability recently found to be exploited by the installer for the [OMITTED] virus, a [OMITTED]-like worm we discovered back in February. The attack, discovered by Covernomic researchers, exploits a vulnerability in Windows’ TrueType font engine. A full fix for the problem is still pending, [...]

Our EPICAC supercomputer achieves 10.51 petaflops

On November 4, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

The Covernomics supercomputer broke its own record this week by hitting 10 quadrillion calculations per second (10.51 petaflops). The supercomputer “EPICAC” consists of 864 racks, comprising a total of 88,128 interconnected CPUs and has a theoretical calculation speed of 11.28 petaflops. When the LINPACK benchmark program measured the EPICAC computer in its latest configuration, our [...]

Videos reconstructed from brain activity

On September 30, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

Reserchers at Covernomics Neuroscience Laboratories have further developed our brain analysis technology and are now able to reconstruct videos from Agents brain activity, a new breakthrough that might soon allow us to see into dreams, memories and even fantasies. “This is a major leap forward in reconstructing internal imagery, instead of just still images we [...]

Gamers unlock mystery that has baffled AIDS researchers

On September 19, 2011, in Agent News, Global Intelligence, by Maxwell Lorbeer

In just three weeks, gamers deciphered the structure of a key protein in the development of AIDS that has stumped scientists for years. According to a study published Sunday in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, the findings could present a significant breakthrough for AIDS and HIV research. Using an online game called Foldit, [...]

Lockpicking: Bumping technique

On September 17, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

An interesting new lockpicking technique has been making its way around the internet. This technique uses ‘bump keys’ to open locks in a similar fashion to lockpicking guns but without requiring specialised hardware and should be studied by all Covernomics Agents. You can read about bump keys in this PDF document, and see a news [...]

‘Hidden’ code in DNA rapidly evolves

On September 17, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

A “hidden” code linked to the DNA of [OMITTED] allows them to develop and pass down new biological traits far more rapidly than previously thought, according to the findings of a groundbreaking study by Covernomics researchers at our Institute for Biological Studies. The findings hint that the traits of other organisms, including humans, might also [...]

Covernomics scientists extract images directly from brain

On September 17, 2011, in Agent News, by Maxwell Lorbeer

Researchers at Covernomics Neuroscience Laboratories have developed new brain analysis technology that can reconstruct the images inside a person’s mind and display them on a computer monitor. Further development of the technology may soon make it possible to view other people’s dreams while they sleep. Our scientists were able to reconstruct various images viewed by [...]

Generation OS13: The new culture of resistance

On July 9, 2011, in Agent News, Global Intelligence, by Maxwell Lorbeer

Anonymous itself has come forward with an amazing short documentary that happens to be called “Generation OS13: the new culture of resistance.” The film takes you on a rapid-fire tour de force through the madness of our world and the new resistance movement that’s trying to come up with alternatives. What’s fascinating about Generation OS13, [...]
