News this week on the Pi World
Today I have been tempted and bought an iPhone 6. After three years with the version 4 I needed a renewal, mostly because my wife will inherit it and I do not like Android operating system. Hopefully someday iOS could be installed in other Smartphones. Moreover, in this section we'll see how to open a safe "by the face", Perforce (another Dropbox killer) and learn what the hell it Shellshock vulnerability.
Security camera with face recognition: A good weekend project to have a safe that is opened recognizing your face. Code available on GitHub if you want to modify it for other purposes. | Makezine.com
Shellshock, learn to avoid it: In short, it is a vulnerability in the Shell Bash that takes advantage of global variables. For a user like you and me it's not a big deal, but for servers and big business can endanger a lot of valuable information. If you want to know if your computer is vulnerable, run the following:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
If you get an error, your computer is safe.
To fix it:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade bash

File Hosting with Seafile: It seems that one of the things that most interests the Raspberry Pi users is to have personal files without having them in services like Dropbox because each day internet is more insecure. Seafile is another alternative if you think ownCloud does not work well enough. | Pihomeserver.fr> Raspberry Pi Home Server - File hosting with Seafile
