Wi-Fi controlled hacking USB cable stealthily packs in a microcontroller, microSD storage, and more — cable executes remote payload execution, keystroke injection, and more, but is 'built for makers, developers, enthusiasts, and cybersecurity learners'

A new Wi-Fi-enabled USB cable, dubbed Hacknect, has successfully launched on Kickstarter, integrating an ESP32-S3 microcontroller and microSD storage. This unassuming device can remotely execute payloads, inject keystrokes, and automate mouse actions, controlled via a web browser interface. The project, aimed at makers and cybersecurity enthusiasts, is open-source and plans to ship in August, though crowdfunding risks apply. AI

FTerViT: Fully Ternary Vision Transformer

Researchers have developed FTerViT, a fully ternary Vision Transformer that compresses all weight matrices and normalization parameters. This approach significantly reduces the model's memory footprint, making it more feasible for deployment on resource-constrained devices like microcontrollers. FTerViT achieves competitive accuracy on ImageNet while offering substantial compression compared to standard floating-point models. AI
