depends on how you define workstation i guess. anything dual-socket will be legit, but there's not much of that. beyond that anything single socket that supports xeons and ecc should count, and gigabyte, asus, et al. have something it's just hard to find unless you go digging for it on their site.

in fairly sure workstation in this case means "cheaper than consumer tier motherboard without marketing I dislike", and not legitimate boards like $500 WS C621E SAGE

no, workstation in my case would actually mean at least some variants support multiple sockets, ECC, and so on

like something equivalent to what would be in an oldschool Mac Pro, or an Intel-based Sun or SGI workstation

well for dual socket + ECC workstations I think you're going to be going with supermicro, though if you want to go all out on the insanity, asrock just launched a micro-ATX threadripper board :getin:

intel currently sells special "workstation" chips in the lga2011 socket, the xeon e3 1600 series. they're almost as cheap as a consumer chip but they have large caches and ecc is enabled.

the next step up is two sockets, and two sockets cost a lot more than twice as much.

while we are talking about chips, "threadripper" would have been a way cooler brand for server chips than "epyc"

That was with the original Ryzen, but they advertise ECC for Threadripper directly on the product page so they probably did whatever "validation" was needed by that point.

there's a fairly major manufacturer of glass curtain-walls in north america that buys nothing but cad stations built around consumer grade motherboards and the 2fast2furious pcgaming videocard of the day, because it saves nearly 50% per workstation over whatever optiplex model and certified drivers don't mean poo poo in cad and solidworks these days

poo poo, if you read the trash CAD magazines they TELL you to buy whitebox gaming poo poo over real vendor supported systems. that whole industry is a joke

well yeah, what else are you going to do, deal with centralized IT? just buy whatever machine youw ant for what you need, and if you need, get a consumer wireless router and plug that in, clone the officially supported mAC address to it and do whatever you want behind that

ryzen has ecc capability, but if it fails you won't get warranty because it's not officially supported. in threadripper and epyc it's officially supported.

iirc that's actually a heatsink, so it's aluminum

the #1 attribute I want to avoid is the assumption I’ll throw it away for something newer in a year so they don’t have to provide firmware updates

I’m also just fine without features like LED control and overclocking support that just makes things unstable

Holography of Wi-Fi radiation by Friedemann Reinhard
- good talk on visualing wi-fi radiation as holograms building upon recent prior research. academic but covers a lot of real world applications. security assessment doesn't seem to care about long-term recon of fixed buildings (e.g. embassies) instead focusing on reactional recon e.g. in tactical engagements. q&a is good but only one question tries to tackle this premise

this is pretty neat to see. My graduate studies involved doing image formation like this at radar frequencies (so could be a little higher) but essentially trading off signal processing for dragging a small antenna around an aperture instead of building a huge array in the first place. He ends up talking about this, like coming up with bistatic radar concepts but he has the same problem of angular resolution as a function of lambda--as wavelength goes down to get more useful images, signal attenuation through most materials goes up.

From a security perspective, this would be really neat to put a long-dwell system in with some disguised apertures. At the cost of some cheap signal processing, you could move around some reasonably sized sensing antennas and over time map out emissions from stations. Even weird artifacts from doing this over a long period of time (where the emitters might move around) would probably yield interesting artifacts like traffic patterns of smartphones, computers, etc. Neat stuff, thanks for sharing your writeup.
