And if the control sticks are junk, this control system will be an epic fail. Where are the receivers? DSM? DSMX? Futaba protocol? FrSky? We already have a really good open source system in the FrSky offerings. Open Tx is very good and can go a long way in meeting the needs of most remote control applications. Yes I fly FrSky/OpenTX.
FrSky is currently playing a game using encrypted protocols to block out other vendors while pretending that Opentx, the open source system that drives their controllers, is somehow theirs. I applaud projects like this.

A second issue is to open up innovation on the radio network side. How can we improve the quality of experience? How can you create better spectral efficiencies for deployment? How can we improve and better leverage indoor connectivity? All these use cases did not become mainstream prior to 5G, primarily because the RAN was closed. RAN virtualization is the most important element, and the radio intelligent controller of O-RAN, and the O-RAN ecosystem itself, is driving a lot of innovation.
First, most of the radio network has to run on a cloud-native architecture so it's scalable and agile. You can change software easily and run industry-tested models like DevOps. Secondly, if you have to disaggregate the hardware and software, then you need to open up the interfaces and define APIs. You cannot have one set of vendors developing one set of APIs and another set building others; you need to at least standardize those APIs. The third is how to make best use of the overall open ecosystem. You need controllers; you need better orchestrators; you need to develop; you need to collect data from the RAN and then leverage it to build new use cases.
Mishra: We have to empower the application developer and figure out a way to build use cases, so operators will have to attract developers, and the best way to do that is open source.
On the infrastructure side, can we have a 5G core network, an open source project, that can really be the de facto standard for core networks globally? Who would distribute it unless companies like Red Hat do it? You get the best stuff for free, but somebody has to make it into a product, so we are looking at it as an opportunity.
Open source enables innovation, but if it is not adopted at scale then people will lose interest, so operators have a major role. If they have to commit to open source builds and invest in labs, they have to commit to testing open source software, which will make it mainstream.
MAAS is an open source SDDC solution used by telcos, financial institutions, media companies and supercomputer admins to take care of all the low-level details. PXE, IPMI, ILO and all the custom protocols needed for diverse vendor hardware support come together in one clean REST API with Python bindings for easy integration and automation. It includes full IPAM capabilities, providing a central database and REST API for all network addressing and naming information.
Replace legacy in-house provisioning tools and their associated problems, such as development resources, debugging, QA, on-boarding and 'bus-factor', with a standard set of converged open source tools, at speed to any scale.
MAAS is freely available, open source software from Canonical. Support and commercial capabilities for MAAS are included with Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure(UA-I). This support is charged on a per-machine basis. For example, if Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure is purchased for 100 machines, then MAAS support is also included for those 100 machines.
We found in Wazuh the most complete security platform. We were seeking an open source SIEM solution that allowed scalability and integration with other tools, which made Wazuh the perfect fit. We achieved our goal, and in addition, we improved the visibility of our environment with the Wazuh monitoring options.
While using open-source tools is usually a better option than building your own framework from scratch, I'm not saying open-source test automation tools are all you need. Once you understand how to choose the right test automation tool for each role in your organization, you may end up with a mix of commercial and open-source options.
Serenity recently added integration with REST Assured, the popular open-source Java library for testing RESTful APIs. It creates another wrapper around REST Assured that makes Serenity Selenium tests flow seamlessly. And Serenity's awesome reporting feature also includes REST information, which means you can easily see and validate all requests and response details in your test reports without having to explicitly add any extra logging code.
While the Selenium WebDriver library might be the most used external test library, Robot Framework can test things other than websites, such as FTP, MongoDB, Android, and Appium. In addition to all this open-source awesomeness, it has a lot of APIs that help make it as extensible as possible.
The keyword approach used by Robot Framework is great for testers who are already familiar with other vendor-based, keyword-driven test tools, making the transition to open source much easier for them.
Developed for testing web applications, Sahi offers both an open-source and a pro version. It works as a proxy server that you can use within a browser. From the Sahi dashboard, you can launch the browser you want to test.
Citrus is an open-source framework that will help you automate integration tests for pretty much any messaging protocol or data format. If you have a test flow that requires that your application interact with other services, then APIs and components using functional test tools such as Selenium can't help.

Sometimes, it is wise to use default monitoring systems that come with the infrastructure providers. One example is the AWS cloudwatch. However, open-source monitoring tools provide a lot of functionality to monitor your infrastructure components with a lot of customization.
IT professionals like Network and DevOps Engineers need to consider multiple factors while searching for an open-source monitoring solution for their enterprises, such as compatibility, facility, effortlessness, and budget.
In addition, we will demonstrate the results of our exploration and the techniques used to derive these results. The framework, analysis modules, and some example applications will be released as open source (Apache 2.0 License) at Blackhat.
Bluetooth Smart, AKA Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), is a new modulation mode and link-layer packet format defined in Bluetooth 4.0. A new class of low-power devices and high-end smartphones are already on the market using this protocol. Applications include everything from fitness devices to wireless door locks. The Good: Bluetooth Smart is well-designed and good at what it does. We explain its workings from the PHY layer (raw RF) all the way to the application layer. The Bad: Bluetooth Smart's key exchange is weak. We will perform a live demonstration of sniffing and recovering encryption keys using open source tools we developed. The Ugly: A passive eavesdropper can decrypt all communications with a sniffed encryption key using our tools. The Fix: We implement Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman to exchange a key in-band. This backward-compatible fix renders the protocol secure against passive eavesdroppers. 2ff7e9595c
