Cryptojacking: What is it and how do I guard against it?
The term “cryptocurrency,” a combination of “cryptography” and “currency,” alludes to the fact that cryptocurrencies are a form of digital money that uses cryptographic keys to identify its account holders and signatures to authenticate transactions. Cryptocurrencies only enter circulation through “mining,” a process that’s used both for creating new units of the currency and securing the ledger from tampering.
The mining process typically involves powerful, high-performance computers, which miners use to compete with one another to reap rewards. Before cryptocurrencies became as popular as they are today, it was possible to mine them with regular computers. Now, however, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are typically mined in extensive farms that feature hundreds of computers working in unison and around the clock.

LightWave 2019 is a complete 3D modeling, animation and rendering solution. Its native renderer is unparalleled and serves as the centerpiece in the production pipeline of many facilities both large and small. Render nodes are free and set up is quite straightforward.
LightWave Modeler excels both as a subdivision surface and a polygonal modeler, fast, efficient and again, straightforward in functionality. In addition, an industry leading node-based texturing and shading system allows you to create any look you desire – quickly and easily.
Lightwave is the perfect combination of power, speed and value. It is versatile enough for any application from award-winning visual effects to stunning hi-res print graphics, dynamic video games, powerful motion graphics and more.
Lightwave offers modeling, animation, dynamics, volumetric rendering, particle effects. A motion picture quality rendering engine with unlimited render nodes making LightWave the centerpiece of the most cost effective 3D production pipelines in the world.
Features in LightWave 2019:
Real-time Collaborative LightWave to Unreal Engine
LightWave 3D enters the Real-Time Age for interchange with this workflow link between the Unreal Engine and LightWave 3D, focusing on LightWave driving Unreal changes iteratively. Multiple LightWave seats are able to connect to the same Unreal Editor simultaneously to enable real-time collaboration between artists. The bridge uses NewTek’s proven NDI network discovery mechanism for easy automatic configuration, and can be limited to single project use in Unreal, or installed as a general plugin for use in all Unreal projects.
Improved FBX and New Interchange Bridge
Work with industry standard FBX data on a whole new level via the new Interchange Bridge.- Interactively choose what to import / export and how.
- Add to existing FBX files from Layout and Modeler.
- Build LightWave 3D assets from many FBX files.
- Easily revisit FBX files via workspaces.
- Support for:
- Vertex Caches
- Morph Mixer
- Vertex Maps
- Smoothing Groups
- Animation Layers
- Animation Baking
- Bones
- Hierarchies
- Meshes
- Pivots
- Mesh Freezing
Shading Model Customization Tools
The ability to pull materials apart and build them to your tastes is new to LightWave 3D 2019. There is access to Fresnel Functions, Material Components and Material Integrators. The Material Tools Group has been updated with new nodes to support this capability.
OpenVDB Content Creation
New for LightWave 3D 2019 is a set of node tools that allow OpenVDB content creation. You can now create OpenVDB grids from meshes, particles, and even the shape primitive distance estimator. The tool kit allows for live Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) operations, grid filtering including level set tracking, smoothing, dilation and erosion. Solvers are included that allow for fluid simulation and smoke and fire effects.
Metamorphic
Metamorphic is a multipurpose animatable mesh sculpting and vertex map manipulation plug-in for LightWave 3D 2019 that works in Layout, and takes full advantage of the new capabilities of the modifier stack. - Freeform animated sculpting
- Built-in undo/redo system
- Fully-multithreaded sculpting using all available CPU cores
- Pen pressure support for brush size, strength and hardness (Windows only)
- Nodal brush texture support
- Three modes of animation
- Non-linear interpolation of sculpt animation keyframes
- Supports converting sculpt animation keyframes to Endomorphs
- Predictive corrective morph sculpting that works after deformers with built-in driver/driven controller
- Full Motion Blur support
Display Scaling
- Support for scaling many UI elements for HiDPI and large-screen displays
- Independent scaling options for multi-monitor setups
Bone System Improved for Game Development
The new Bone Type option, Limited Bones, allows the animator to set a limit in Layout on the number of bones. That affect a given point to match the limit in the target game engine. And engages real-time optimizations to more closely match the performance game engines expect from a rig.
Shading and Rendering Enhancements
- Edge Shader Node. For simulating beveled or rounded edges at render time, to give more realistic results without increasing geometry.
- Patina Node. This node can add Wear (a convex shader) to a surface, or Dirt (concave) based on a radius and offset.
- Procedural Shader Node. This node encapsulates a chosen legacy system LightWave 3D or third party procedural texture and exposes it with the typical nodal inputs and outputs.
- Image Caching. LightWave now uses smart caching with very high-resolution images, allowing artists to use them for textures and other uses, regardless of the memory in the computer system.
- New Compositing Buffers. The new Rho buffer is for extracting lighting and shading information from the direct and indirect buffers.
- NVIDIA OptiX Denoising. A new Noise Filter option uses the NVIDIA OptiX library for AI-accelerated noise reduction when rendering still images.
- Despike. This new Renderer option is a tool for reducing or removing “fireflies” in renders.
- Physical Sky. An Environment plugin to replicate physically accurate skies and create otherworldly skies, with equal ease.
- Physical Sunlight. A new Light Type that simulates a sun using state-of-the-art scientific methods.
Game Development Enhancements in Modeler
Enhanced UV and UDIM Mapping Workflow
UDIM tiled mapping:- FlipUV-U
- FlipUV-V
- MoveUDIM
- Turn Poly UV
- SelectUV Island
- SelectUV overlap
- SpreadUV
- Rectangular UV Grid
New view modes for working with UVs:- Sketch
- Scale

Smoothing Groups
Modeler now supports the creation of smoothing groups within a mesh. Smoothing groups provide a way to create creases and hard edges, and more precisely control regional contours on your model.
New Primitive and Tools
Empty Volume Shape Primitive
LightWave 3D 2019 adds the new Shape Primitive, Empty Volume, which can be used for creating procedural surface shapes. In addition to being directly useful in scenes, the Empty Volume primitive is helpful in workflows that need to convert meshes to volumes or vice versa. Empty Volume can also provide for real-time Boolean operations in Layout.
New Tools for Shape Primitives
The Empty Volume shape primitive allows advanced users to write their own distance estimators for rendered SDF shapes and volumetrics.
Other new nodal distance tools include:
- Mobius
- Capsule
- Shape CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry)
- SmoothMin, a soft blending node.
Workflow and UI
Expanded Layout Undo System
The Layout Undo System has been expanded to many of the systems involving Transforms & Keys. Unlimited Undo is now available in:- Graph Editor
- Scene Editors, both new and classic
- Dope Sheet
- Many Layout navigation tools
Popup Menus
- Menus can now be navigated via keys (arrow, mouse wheel, home, end, etc.)
- Large popup menus can be navigated with filtering and searches
- Regular expressions can be used in filters
- FLAT MENU: You can now call up a flattened version of every entry that exists in the main menu with the keyboard shortcut CTRL Space. Doing so presents a list of all available commands in Layout or Modeler (with their associated keyboard shortcuts). As with other LightWave menus, you can type to narrow down your selection and the cursor keys and Enter can be used to choose the command you require.
Node Graph UI Options
- Tidy Nodes Command: A tool to make ‘cluttered’ node trees ‘straight’ and easier to read from left to right automatically.
- Background Grid: You can adjust the brightness and color of the grid in the Node Editor
- Snap to Grid: you can turn on this tool to make the nodes ‘snap’ to a user settable grid size.
License Server 2019 Option

Another Facebook Scandal – 419 Million Phone Numbers Exposed |
Posted by: tarekma7 - 09-11-2019 , 08:40 PM - Forum: Security News

Quote:Facebook is under immense pressure yet again. The social media giant is slacking in keeping the privacy of its users intact. Just last night, news broke out that the phone numbers of 419 million Facebook users got exposed due to an unsecured server.
It’s no secret that just earlier this year, Facebook tried to silently disclose how millions of unencrypted Instagram passwords had been stored in plain text online. Ever since that incident, Facebook has been struggling and making promises to strengthen the privacy of its users.
Such commitments are not new to Facebook, and with an off-Facebook privacy tool, Facebook aims to be solving the problem of which third-parties have used your data. Not to forget the ‘technical flaw’ which allowed children using the Messenger Kids app to participate in group chats with strangers but without parental permission.
Facebook works in mysterious ways, and it’s still unclear why the social media giant isn’t putting its foot down and clamping its privacy and security practices.
How did 419 million phone numbers get leaked?
In simple words: an unprotected server. A Facebook server containing private information of its users was found without password protection. Talk about privacy?
What this means is that anyone who’s looking for loopholes could easily discover and access this database. The exposed server was home to more than 419 million records and dozens of other databases on Facebook users.
The database was spread out across geographies, including 133 million records of U.S.-based Facebook users, 18 million records of UK users, and another with more than 50 million records on users in Vietnam.
What else got leaked?
The data records contained both the Facebook ID unique to every Facebook user and their phone number, which was linked to that account. What’s ironic is that on April 4, 2018, Facebook announced that it was making changes to ‘better protect their user’s information by limiting people from having any access to this data.
In that statement, Facebook also said ‘we know we have more work to do’ and with this massive data leak, it clearly shows that there’s a lot the social media giant has to work on.
The social network claims that following the Cambridge Analytica scandal in March 2018, the company shut down that search tool in April 2018.
An investigation done by TechCrunch revealed that some of the records in these unsecured databases also contained the ‘user’s name, gender, and location by country.’ This goes to show that Facebook is covering up some gruesome details of the leak as to not instigate public criticism of the company.
