Windows Vista
Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor's reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that quietly has a downgrade-to- previous-edition option introduced for PC makers deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that takes six years of development but is instantly hated by hordes of PC professionals and enthusiasts deserves to be classed as terrible technology.

Windows Vista conforms to all of the above. Its incompatibility with hardware, its obsessive requirement of human interaction to clear security dialogue box warnings and its abusive use of hated DRM, not to mention its general pointlessness as an upgrade, are just some examples of why this expensive operating system earns the final place in our terrible tech list.

Shades of Grey

Within the community of individuals who find and exploit vulnerabilities in systems and networks are several distinct groups. These groups are often described by the shade of hat that they "wear" when performing their security investigations and this shade is indicative of their intent.

The white hat hacker is one who tests networks and systems to examine their performance and determine how vulnerable they are to intrusion. Usually, white hat hackers crack their own systems or the systems of a client who has specifically employed them for the purposes of security auditing. Academic researchers and professional security consultants are two examples of white hat hackers.

A black hat hacker is synonymous with a cracker. In general, crackers are less focused on programming and the academic side of breaking into systems. They often rely on available cracking programs and exploit well known vulnerabilities in systems to uncover sensitive information for personal gain or to inflict damage on the target system or network.

The grey hat hacker, on the other hand, has the skills and intent of a white hat hacker in most situations but uses his knowledge for less than noble purposes on occasion. A grey hat hacker can be thought of as a white hat hacker who wears a black hat at times to accomplish his own agenda.

Grey hat hackers typically subscribe to another form of the hacker ethic, which says it is acceptable to break into systems as long as the hacker does not commit theft or breach confidentiality. Some would argue, however, that the act of breaking into a system is in itself unethical.

Regardless of the intent of the intruder, it is important to know the weaknesses a cracker may likely attempt to exploit. The remainder of the chapter focuses on these issues.

Technology / Quick History of Hackers
October 12, 2007, 05:50:02 PM
SOURCE: RedHat Linux Documentation

The modern meaning of the term hacker has origins dating back to the 1960s and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Tech Model Railroad Club, which designed train sets of large scale and intricate detail. Hacker was a name used for club members who discovered a clever trick or workaround for a problem.

The term hacker has since come to describe everything from computer buffs to gifted programmers. A common trait among most hackers is a willingness to explore in detail how computer systems and networks function with little or no outside motivation. Open source software developers often consider themselves and their colleagues to be hackers, and use the word as a term of respect.

Typically, hackers follow a form of the hacker ethic which dictates that the quest for information and expertise is essential, and that sharing this knowledge is the hackers duty to the community. During this quest for knowledge, some hackers enjoy the academic challenges of circumventing security controls on computer systems. For this reason, the press often uses the term hacker to describe those who illicitly access systems and networks with unscrupulous, malicious, or criminal intent. The more accurate term for this type of computer hacker is cracker â€" a term created by hackers in the mid-1980s to differentiate the two communities.

Technology / The Risk and Cost of Hoaxes
September 28, 2007, 01:31:23 PM
SOURCE: http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org

The cost and risk associated with hoaxes may not seem to be that high, and isn't when you consider the cost of handling one hoax on one machine. However, if you consider everyone that receives a hoax, that small cost gets multiplied into some pretty significant costs. For example, if everyone on the Internet were to receive one hoax message and spend one minute reading and discarding it, the cost would be something like:

50,000,000 people * 1/60 hour * $50/hour = $41.7 million

Most people have seen far more than one hoax message and many people cost a business far more than $50 per hour when you add in benefits and overhead. The result is not a small number.

Probably the biggest risk for hoax messages is their ability to multiply. Most people send on the hoax messages to everyone in their address books but consider if they only sent them on to 10 people. The first person (the first generation) sends it to 10, each member of that group of 10 (the second generation) sends it to 10 others or 100 messages and so on.

Generation:Number of Messages    
1:10    2:100    3:1,000    4:10,000    5:100,000    6:1,000,000

As you can see, by the sixth generation there are a million e-mail messages being processed by our mail servers. The capacity to handle these messages must be paid for by the users or, if it is not paid for, the mail servers slow down to a crawl or crash. Note that this example only forwards the message to 10 people at each generation while people who forward real hoax messages often send them to many times that number.

Recently, we have been hearing of spammers (bulk mailers of unsolicited mail) harvesting e-mail addresses from hoaxes and chain letters. After a few generations, many of these letters contain hundreds of good addresses, which is just what the spammers want. We have also heard rumors that spammers are deliberately starting hoaxes and chain letters to gather e-mail addresses (of course, that could be a hoax).  So now, all those nice people who were so worried about the poor little girl dying of cancer find themselves not only laughed at for passing on a hoax but also the recipients of tons of spam mail.

New PDF Security Exploit Emerges
By Andy Patrizio

A new vulnerability has emerged in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) and, so far, only Adobe and a white hat hacker know about it. But give the bad guys time.

PDF was the target of another exploit in January, which was quickly fixed. It then emerged earlier this summer as the new method for delivering spam because spam filters have become so efficient at blocking other forms.

PDF-based spam died off in a matter of months because it was too inefficient a means of delivery and the spam filter vendors were able to develop effective means to spot it.

Now, Petko D. Petkov, a.k.a. pdp, is the leader of Gnucitizen, a security Web site and security consultant in the U.K. has found a new JavaScript-based exploit in PDF that would allow malicious JavaScript code to execute on a user's client simply from opening an infected PDF file.

Petkov won't publish proof of concept code because the exploit is so dangerous, PDF is so ubiquitous and "it may take a while for Adobe to fix their closed source product," he wrote on a Gnucitizen posting.

Paul Henry, vice president of technology evangelism for Secure Computing, said even without sample code, it's still enough to send the bad guys off sniffing through the PDF format to find the holes. "Just the fact it has been found makes me think it will become available eventually," he told InternetNews.com.

Henry said the exploit is particularly insidious because it can embed JavaScript in the file, so an anti-virus scanner may not see it. "In this Web 2.0 world, it's important to scan everything coming over the wire, including scripts with malicious intent," he said.

Adobe has said that it is aware of the problem. "Adobe and Petkov have been in communication," the company said in a statement to InternetNews.com. "Adobe is currently researching the potential issue. Once this process is complete, Adobe plans to share further information on the topic via the company's Adobe Security Bulletins and Advisories page."

For now, both Adobe and Secure Computing offer the same advice: Never open a PDF from an unknown source and if you get it from a known source but weren't expecting it, double check with that person.

Firefox 3 Secures Extensions
By Sean Michael Kerner

Among the many reasons why Mozilla's Firefox browser has become popular is the fact that it's relatively easy to build and install add on extensions for it. That ease of extensibility however has a potential dark side to it.

Those same extensions that add power to Firefox, generally speaking, could arguably represent a security risk as well. It's a security gap that Mozilla is now plugging with its Alpha 8 development release of its next generation Firefox 3 browser.

In terms of add-on extension security, Firefox 3 Alpha 8 is specifically targeting the updating of add-ons to make that process more secure.

Mozilla spells out the issue in its guide on the new extension security:

"Firefox currently automatically checks for updates to add-ons using a url specified in the add-on's install manifest. Currently there are no requirements placed on these urls. In particular, neither url is required to be https. This allows either the update manifest or the update package to be compromised, potentially resulting in the injection of malicious updates. A demonstration of one form of compromise is already public."

The new extension security feature will aim to secure updates by a number of mechanisms including using SSL (define), and digital signatures that help to verify the identity and authenticity of the add-on's author. The general idea is that by ensuring that both the update mechanism and integrity of the update package are properly secured, overall safety will be improved.

There still might well be other issues that Mozilla will need to tackle in order to further improve add-on security though.

"It should be stressed that this feature is targeted at ensuring the security of updates to add-ons and has no impact on the security of initial add-on installs," Mozilla admits in its guide.

The Alpha 8 build is what Mozilla considers to be an early developer milestone and is not intended for the general public. In fact one of the rough edges in Firefox 3 Alpha 8 will actually prevent it from launching on Windows Vista if parental controls are enabled.

Mozilla developers have also not yet added in the fix for the QuickTime cross-scripting flaw that was fixed in the mainline Firefox 2.0.0.7 release which came out earlier this week.

Firefox 3 is Mozilla's next generation browser and has been under development since October of 2006 when the first Firefox 3 alpha appeared. Mozilla is currently releasing new milestones every 6 weeks for Firefox 3 with final development expected sometime in 2008.

hi mike, dili ni sya kaayo common pero this is implemented to some companies nga kinahanglan nga naka-sync ilang time. previously gamit namo ni sya to sync time sa philippine manufacturing plant with the rest of the MFG plants (europe, america, ug asia) then gamit sya sa time-in/time-out sa mga workers pud. ang oras nga makita sa PC ug sa time keeper machines are exactly the same (up to the sec).

Technology / How to Hot Wire a Power Supply
September 23, 2007, 03:11:28 PM
SAFETY NOTE: Make sure the PSU is turned OFF  before testing.

Hotwire is a kind of testing your old PSU if modagan pa ba. ;)



- Sample PSU for testing



- Then pangitaa ang 20/24 pin power plug nga ingon ani ug porma (see above)
- Plug one end of the wire into the 20 or 24 pin power connector using the green wire.



NOTE: Make sure the power plug to the PSU is off before plugging wire into the contacts in the PSU motherboard connector, and make sure not to touch either end of the bare wires with your fingers.

- Connect the other end sa wire to the one of the black wires (ground)



- turn ON the PSU, if dili gani motuyok ang fan then possible nga guba ang imong PSU.

yeah, the micro$oft thing... kadtong mo-share daw si bill gate$ sa iyang kayamanan if mo-send ka up to certain numbers. heheh

maka-monitor kaha si gate$ sa tanan emails? heheh

a tip to help minimize spam mails:
- dont post your email address to websites, or send forwarded email messages to bunch of people in your contacts. just in case gusto jud ka mo-forward, use "BCC" instead of "TO" para dili makita ang individual address sa mga tawo.

Linux is not bad for high school studs "if" naa lang proper training or background ang teacher nga mo-handle sa subject. Even in cebu, some private schools migrated to linux OS para sa ilang HS nga program (with the help of local Linux Users Group - www.cegnulug.org).

Probably Micro$oft Windows is more useful for a certain police office, pero i believe linux does help high school students especially kung ganahan sila mo-proceed sa field of IT (computer systems administration, firmware development, Java, C and others) or even a black hat hacker will rise from that group.

just my 2 cents...  ;D

just got an info mail from <Security Group> that this "Storm" worm creates new variants every 15 minutes.

so be careful in reading emails from unknown senders with the subject line similar to this: “230 dead as storm batters Europe”
