• 7 November — Four security fixes in Kismet 2026-10-R1. Packet-field boundaries, web-root containment, and stalled HTTP connections.

• 7 November — Cartochron: reading recorded locations without inventing movement. An ant-sized investigation of routes and coincident reports, plus a practical GPSD recording setup.

• 7 November — Wardriving with Kismet and GPSD. A portable Kismet capture setup with GPSD, a spare Android phone, and optional Kismon.
