Re: GSoC'21 - View Only Mode

Hello!


*GSoC'21: Week 7 of working on the GRC View Only Mode:*
This week I've continued with the things I did last week: I added an "Add
trusted" button to the trust manager where the user can add files to trust
and I continued improving the trust prompt activation. It's coming
together! Read all about it on the blog:

Have a nice weekend!

 Hello everyone!

 I've now published my third blog update on the GSoC - GRC View Only
 Mode. This week I've continued with disabling evaluation, mainly on block
 and flowgraph level this time. You can read more about it on the blog:

 Best regards,
 Oscar Ekholm

DESCRIPTION:The South Indian SDR User Group (SI-SDR-UG) was founded in January 2021, and is a community of people, from novices to experts, spanning industry, academia, and government, who are interested in the design and implementation of Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology and systems. This includes such diverse areas such as RF, digital signal processing (DSP), wireless communications, operating systems, computer networking, software development and optimization, machine learning, and radio hardware. The mission of our community is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and enable greater collaboration within the SDR community in India. We host a regular technical workshops and gatherings, and we also run a dedicated Slack workspace for the community. We have a YouTube channel for recordings of past events, and a GitHub page for any relevant code. Our Twitter feed contains announcements about events and other news relevant to the community. We are not focused or tied to any one single software tool, hardware platform, commercial vendor, or specific technology. The SI-SDR-UG is non-profit, and the people on the organizing committee are all volunteers.

Re: GSoC'21 - View Only Mode

2021-07-23 Thread Jeff Long 
Oscar,

I really like the idea you mention about trusting entire directories. I can
imagine using a ./flowgraphs/trusted directory so I don't need to worry
about files with the same name or long lists of trusted flowgraphs.

 Hello,

 Another Friday => Another GSoC blog update about my work on the GRC
 View Only Mode! This time I've made a test asserting that untrusted code
 isn't executed as well as refined the code for the upcoming PR. There will
 be a PR this weekend containing the core parts and eventually another PR
 containing GUI stuff. Read more about it on the blog:

 https://oscekh.github.io/

 Hello,

 I've been accepted to work with GnuRadio for this year's Google
 Summer of Code. I will be working on implementing a GRC View-Only Mode,
 which is a security feature disabling execution of block parameters in
 untrusted flowgraphs.

 I will be posting weekly progress updates on my blog:
 https://oscekh.github.io/

 If you are interested in reading more about the View-Only mode it
 is described further in my project proposal:

 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dL6PziJSopcY3O7gJ6CXiedTSdbhrHVFhR-UJRTmsng/edit?usp=sharing

 Please reach out if you have any questions, advice or thoughts you
 want to share.

 Best regards,
 Oscar Ekholm
