BitFence: Can AI protect us from hackers?

Artificial Intelligence or shortly AI became a really hot topic lately. It sounds mysterious and cool, this magic 2 letter combination are thrown at us from everywhere and already over-hyped (over-spammed?). But very few know what it really is and how it works.

AI term is extremely broad and makes almost no sense without precise context.

BitFence uses AI to identify and risk score cyber threats. Why do we need AI? The answer is very simple — to identify and risk score cyber threats that we never seen before.
Without going deep into math and statistics, BitFence uses multiple machine learning methods (classifiers) that accumulate knowledge about malicious actors all the time, it never stops learning.

Instead of having “databases of malicious actors”, which makes absolutely no sense, since IP addresses and behaviors hacker exposes changes very quickly, BitFence extracts and collects knowledge about attacks and hackers, threat intelligence engine becomes a seasoned cyber security expert that needs no sleep, processes thousands of threats a second and learns non-stop.

So, can AI protect us from hackers? Simply Yes, this is perfect application for AI algorithms such as machine learning methods and probabilistic classifiers.

BitFence: Hackers are pro’s, so we are. StingMiner and metamorphic baits.

In today’s world most dangerous hackers are no longer attention-seeking geeks or just hobbyists, they are professionals.

Looking at the history, most damaging and hard to detect and remove viruses featured a special design, which is called metamorphic. This resembles things coming from Sci-Fi movies, but this is reality.

Metamorphic computer viruses re-write themselves completely every time they infect system or any particular application/executable.
They also can reprogram itself to turn into harmless code, avoiding any attempts of detection, even with sophisticated AI methods, and then at one moment wake-up again causing a lot of damage.

What if the same concept viruses use to hide from detection can be used instead to detect hackers?

We made it reality and created first ever Metamorphic Bait for hackers — Metamorphic StingMiner.

StingMiner presents always new, always fresh and attractive target for hackers who attack this bait and leaving an attack fingerprint, that we use to protect our subscribers on a blockchain.

The data economy is broken. Large corporations hoard data for their own means, while small companies are left to pick from a collection of fragmented sources. This stalls innovation in frontier industries like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
At the same time, Data Vendors and Producers have little incentive to continue producing the authentic data these small companies need. This isn’t a sustainable model for the “new oil.”
Quadrant changes all that by providing a blueprint for mapping these decentralized data sources. Authenticity, provenance, compliancy, and fair compensation all rolled into a single protocol.
With Quadrant, everybody wins. Data Producers get compensated fairly every time their data is used, not just the first time it is sold. Data Vendors can prove ownership of their data products and earn status as a trusted supplier. Data Consumers get access to authentic and compliant data that they can use to power their data-driven businesses.
But where Quadrant really shines is the opportunity it provides the Elons of the world to solve global problems. Elons are the game-changers, the innovators that will find connections between diverse datasets that bring about fundamental changes in the way we live.
Quadrant is the future of authentic data. Get in on this revolutionary project while you can.

Quadrant is a blockchain-based protocol that enables the access, creation, and distribution of data products and services with authenticity and provenance at its core. The data economy is similar to space; unmapped and chaotic. Quadrant serves as the blueprint that provides an organized system for the utilization of decentralized data.

Ethereum on the rise assures Brian Kelly
CNBC’s very own ‘crypto baller’ Brian Kelly went on air and spoke about Bitcoin and Ethereum prices. He believes that ETH’s downward spiral is over. While BTC struggles to pull out of its nosedive, ETH will fare better, Kelly insists.

Kelly has identified three catalysts that makes him bullish on Ethereum.
🔹Ethereum Futures
🔹 Augur platform to be launched
🔹 PoS switch

Right after the SEC came out and said that Ethereum is not a security, the President of CBOE came out and said, that was a hurdle for us, launching Ethereum futures. Kelly feels that, since Ethereum Index is already around, Ethereum futures are not far off.

Next on the agenda is Augur, a decentralized oracle and prediction market platform. Kelly believes this will soon become the biggest dApp built on the Ethereum platform. So, if Augur doesn’t ‘slow the system down’, then it will be a positive for Ethereum.

Additionally, the fact that Ethereum is taking steps to move away from Proof of Work [PoS] and towards Proof of Stake [PoS], what Kelly terms as the switch from ‘hardware mining’, to ‘software mining’.

The high for Bitcoin coincided with the launch of Bitcoin futures. When asked if, with the launch of Ethereum futures in the works, should a similar worry be in the minds of investors, Kelly said that this might have been just a coincidence. Bitcoin hit a high, and then there was a sell-off, perhaps tax selling or bear market sentiment.

Kelly is positive that plenty of miners will continue mining, in the belief that the Bitcoin [BTC] prices will eventually go up, a sentiment shared among much of the Bitcoin community.

​​CRYPTOCARZ IS THE WORLD'S FIRST BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED VR RACING EXPERIENCE

CRYPTOCARZ IS A MULTIPLAYER, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)-ENABLED RACING EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPED USING THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN.

To play, users will have to load the car assets into the game from an Ethereum wallet, where they are stored as an ERC721 token. The ERC721 token has paved the way for a new class of digital assets called non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These allow users to own, customise and maintain control in the
same way as in the physical world.

Blockchain Studios contends that this new asset class opens up new opportunities for user engagement and ownership. We believe that the first wave of innovation will come from gaming. CryptoCarz is the first platform to bring together blockchain, VR and gaming technologies. By giving gamers new options to visualise, own, adapt and race their own car, we think a new era in gaming has arrived.

WE BELIEVE GAMING IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RISE – AND INTEGRATION – OF THREE TECHNOLOGIES: BLOCKCHAIN, E-SPORTS AND VR.

Each of them, independently, represents a paradigm shift for game development and consumption. Their attributes will make technology more individual, inclusive and immersive. The combination of these technologies will give rise to new scenarios, where gamers can own, modify, trade and play in an unprecedented way

THE CONCEPT

Cars, gaming and cryptocurrency are shared passions at Blockchain Studios, so combining them was a natural choice when we started working on CryptoCarz. We see strong synergies between the cryptocurrency community and gamers and we believe there is a market for a game that blends racing, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CryptoCarz is a multiplayer, fully immersive, VR-enabled racing experience, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. To race in the game, a user will have to demonstrate ownership of a car that is modelled and stored as an ERC721 Ethereum token in the gamer’s private wallet. The car will then be loaded into the game via integration with MetaMask and other proprietary tools

The game will initially offer 20 car models representative of the top cryptocurrencies. Each model will have a maximum of 650 units, hard-coded and numerically defined in the smart contract.No further cars in these models will be produced in the future.

​​💥 Token Swaps How They Work

For users and investors, the degree of their involvement in the token migration process varies - typically according to where they store their tokens.

For those who store their tokens on exchanges, it is unlikely that they will have to take any steps to participate in the migration. Major exchange Binance, for example, says it handles "all technical requirements" of the process for the EOS, Tron, ICON and Ontology migrations.

San Francisco-based exchange Kraken also aims to reduce the difficulty of the process.

"We pause funding ahead of the transition, swap all the old coins for new and when we resume funding, all the old balances are for the new coins," Kraken co-founder and CEO Jesse Powell explained. "It's really as simple as that."

However, users who store their tokens in wallets may need to initiate the process manually.

More specifically, they must undergo token registration, also called "mapping," in order to send their tokens from the previous blockchain to the new network.

In practice, this process typically entails generating a project-specific key (for example, an EOS key) and sending tokens to it from the key address where the tokens were initially stored after purchase, prior to the mainnet launch (for example, an ethereum key).

Projects typically implement cut-off periods by which users must swap their tokens. In projects such as EOS, these are 'hard' deadlines after which tokens on the old blockchain will be "frozen" and inaccessible to users.

Other projects allow for open-ended migration.
