    Good layman's level article explaining the current state of the art on advanced dictionary based attacks using easily available equipment. The scary part is how they describe a $12k box using 8 of the GPU's that my company designs for compute and high end graphics are used to crunch through 74...

    Where is it being engineered?

    I have a good friend at Honda Canada, and he's part of the engineering team that's done some engineering work on previous Acura models such as the suspension on the MDX. I asked him outright, and he does not know of any involvement on Honda Canada's part, and suspects that all of the...

    MDX: Delamination of heat shields?

    So my 2005 MDX has been making weird grinding noises while the throttle is pressed. The dealership had a look and identified the issue as delamination of the heat shields above the catalytic convertors. The vibration of the delaminated layers is causing the grinding noise. Has anyone else...

    AC won't turn off!

    So I recently had LED tail lights installed. I'm assuming it's coincidence, but the very next time I drove the car I noticed that my AC unit wouldn't turn off while the car was running. It didn't matter what mode I was using or if I pressed the AC on/off, it always blew cold air. Even if I...
