The dirty game is on both on the shelf and of the shelf.
With the arrest of wikileaks founder in London has arouse a tremor both in the cyberspace and in the real world . The whistle blower has really brought u a big issue in front now. The website has brought out many classified documents infront of public  and exosed the other face of the "big brother".
WikiLeaks has been under intense pressure since it began publishing some 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables, with attacks on its websites and threats against its founder, Julian Assange, who is now in a British jail fighting extradition to Sweden on sex crime allegations.

Google Vulnerability Reward Program

Back in January of this year, the Chromium open source project launched a well-received vulnerability reward program. In the months since launch, researchers reporting a wide range of great bugs have received rewards — a small summary of which can be found in the Hall of Fame. They’ve seen a sustained increase in the number of high quality reports from researchers, and their combined efforts are contributing to a more secure Chromium browser for millions of users.

How to disable or enable USB port or device

USB Devices are portable enough to carry the data from one computer to another , It is always risky to enable USB ports of computers in large organizations , data center and cyber cafes since it can be the gateway for virus and malwares. You can disable or enable USB port or device in three ways

Enable / Disable USB port and device in BIOS
It can be enabled or disabled in BIOS where the peripheral device setting is configured. While booting the system you will be getting an option to configure BIOS settings. But only problem is you will not be able to use those USB ports for any purpose like connecting USB keyboards or mouse or any devices.
Enable / Disable USB port and device using registry hack in windows
Another effective way to enable or disable USB port or device is to hack registry entry in windows , it will allow you to use your USB port for other functions like connecting keyboard or mouse but you can restrict the data storage through USB port


A. Click on Start –> Run –> regedit [enter]
B. Search for the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor”

“h4x0r 1n m3″ – Developing a Hacker’s Behaviour

To obtain the status of a Hacker, You Have To Want It, and You Have To Earn It. It is not something that can really be taught, it is only something you can learn for yourself, although I can attempt to help guide you.

Although hackers are substantially different people with unique personalities, they mysteriously all seem to lead similar lifestyles.

 Dressing Style: Clothes can range from your typical nerdy suit with pocket protectors and suspenders as if their mom still dresses them, to a gothic/techno-rave homemade looking getup. Considering the fact that hackers exist all over the world, you can’t really place their style of clothing into a particular group; the most famous however is hoodies and shades, kind of like a gangster as it makes one appear very incognito (even though the paleness from lack of sunlight gives them away).

Linux isn’t exactly the same as Windows.

You’d be amazed how many people make this complaint. They come to Linux, expecting to find essentially a free, open-source version of Windows. Quite often, this is what they’ve been told to expect by over-zealous Linux users. However, it’s a paradoxical hope.

The specific reasons why people try Linux vary wildly, but the overall reason boils down to one thing: They hope Linux will be better than Windows. Common yardsticks for measuring success are cost, choice, performance, and security. There are many others. But every Windows user who tries Linux, does so because they hope it will be better than what they’ve got.

Therein lies the problem.

It is logically impossible for any thing to be better than any other thing whilst remaining completely identical to it. A perfect copy may be equal, but it can never surpass. So when you gave Linux a try in hopes that it would be better, you were inescapably hoping that it would be different. Too many people ignore this fact, and hold up every difference between the two OSes as a Linux failure.

The Browser Takes All

This week, Google unveiled a computer like no other: the Cr-48, a notebook that relies on the Web for all its software applications. Yet the Web search giant thinks the notebook can compete with computers that run all kinds of installed software.

The matte black Cr-48 won't be sold to the public, but thousands are being sent to consumers and businesses who have volunteered to test it. It introduces a new kind of operating system, called Chrome OS, that turns to the Web for almost everything. Google is pitching Chrome OS as its vision for a new form of computing—one that shifts the data, functionality and almost everything else you would expect from your desktop computer into the cloud. Chrome OS will get its biggest test when Acer and Samsung start selling notebook computers customized to run the software in mid-2011.

Google Chrome OS

"Google's Chrome OS chiefs explain in Technology Review how most of the web-only OS's features flow from changing one core assumption of previous operating system designs. 'Operating systems today are centered on the idea that applications can be trusted to modify the system, and that users can be trusted to install applications that are trustworthy,' says Google VP Sundar Pichai. Chrome doesn't trust applications, or users — and neither can modify the system. Once users are banned from installing applications, or modifying the system security, usability, and more are improved, the Googlers claim."





If you use your computer mainly to browse Internet, then Google Chrome OS is for you.
The browser takes care of all the programs in your computer.

Google Adds Flash Sandbox to Chrome Browser

Two weeks after releasing Reader X with its new sandbox security mechanism, Adobe has teamed up with Google to enable a sandboxed version of its Flash software to run in Google Chrome.

The two companies said on Wednesday that Google has released a version of Chrome to its developer channel that includes the sandboxed Flash player. Google and Adobe have been working together on sandboxing technology for several months now, and this is the first result of that collaboration. The current release of Chrome with the sandboxed Flash software runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. The sandbox used for Flash is slightly different from the original Chrome sandbox, Google said.

Adobe Releases Reader X With Sandbox

Adobe has released the much anticipated new version of its Reader software, Adobe Reader X, which includes the new sandboxing feature meant to prevent exploits against the software from affecting other applications on a PC.

The new version of Reader, one of the more widely deployed applications anywhere, is designed to be a major step forward in security for Adobe customers, many of whom have been critical of the company's recent security track record. The company has been public about its efforts to change that track record and began talking about the upcoming inclusion of a sandbox in Reader several months ago.

Researchers Bypass Internet Explorer Protected Mode

 "A new paper from researchers at Verizon Business identifies a method through which an attacker can bypass Internet Explorer Protected Mode and gain elevated privileges once he's successfully exploited a bug on the system. Protected Mode in Internet Explorer is one of a handful of key security mechanisms that Microsoft has added to Windows in the last few years.

It is often described as a sandbox, in that it is designed to prevent exploitation of a vulnerability in the browser from leading to more persistent compromise of the underlying system. In their research, the Verizon Business team found a method that, when combined with an existing memory-corruption vulnerability in the browser, enables an attacker to bypass Protected Mode and elevate his privileges on the compromised machine (PDF). The technique enables the attacker to move from a relatively un-privileged level to one with higher privileges, giving him complete access to the logged-in user's account."

Microsoft Builds Javascript Malware Detection Tool

"As browser-based exploits and specifically JavaScript malware have shouldered their way to the top of the list of threats, browser vendors have been scrambling to find effective defenses to protect users. Few have been forthcoming, but Microsoft Research has developed a new tool called Zozzle that can be deployed in the browser and can detect JavaScript-based malware on the fly at a very high effectiveness rate. 

 

Zozzle is designed to perform static analysis of JavaScript code on a given site and quickly determine whether the code is malicious and includes an exploit. In order to be effective, the tool must be trained to recognize the elements that are common to malicious JavaScript, and the researchers behind it stress that it works best on de-obfuscated code."
