Pwn2Own Hacker shares thoughts on Mac and PC security
You may remember that the Pwn2Own competition was run recently, designed to reveal hidden security flaws within browsers and operating systems. Charlie Miller, who was one of the competitors in the competition, has come out with a rather controversial statement: Mac OS is theoretically safer than PCs. In an interview with Tom's Hardware, Miller stated, "I'd say that Macs are less secure for the reasons we've discussed here (lack of anti-exploitation technologies) but are more safe because there simply isn't much malware out there.Read full story.....

Man pins child porn accusations on pet cat
Child porn is, understandably, a very serious offense; so much so that there's an entire TV show dedicated to catching those willing to have sex with a minor, thus potentially also guilty of the first crime. As you can expect, people will do near anything to escape charges, though sometimes they end up getting themselves into worse trouble than they initially were. One such example is a 48 year old man named Keith Griffin, as NBC Miami reports, who told police that his cat was the one behind the 1000+ child porn images on his computer.Read full story.....

Researcher thinks Mac OS X is easy to exploit
Charles Miller is no stranger to Apple and its products. In July Miller and his colleagues at Independent Security Evaluators discovered the first known vulnerability within the Apple iPhone. They then worked with the Cuptertino vendor to release a patch for iPhone. just the day before the start of the annual Black Hat Briefings in Las Vegas. But all that good will that didn't stop Miller from talking about pending problems lurking deep within the Mac OS. "Macs," he said, "are as easy to hack as they are to use."During a 20-minute Turbo talk, "Hacking Leopard: Tools and techniques for attacking the newest Mac OS X," Miller said that for some reason the Mac OS has over 50 plus suid root programs, including a few odd ones such as Locum, NetCfgTool, and TimeZoneSettingTool. Given the root access provided by these tools they provide at least one vector for attack.

Experts warn of Windows 7's abilities to encrypt child porn
Windows 7 can allow potentially incriminating data (such as child pornography) to be encrypted on a user's hard drive and make detection by police "impossible", experts in Australia claim. Speaking to News.com.au, Hetty Johnson, a member of the Federal Government, called on Microsoft to act now and make immediate changes. "If this new product gives paedophiles protection to keep harming children I would be extremely disappointed. I would expect the company to take moves to rectify this." Australian law states that authorities can obtain warrants to use a Trojan horse to gain access to a computer's data, but unlike British law, refusing to decrypt data when requested by the police is completely legal.Read full story.....

Some UK ISPs have not blocked child porn sites
Children's charities in the UK have expressed what they call "serious concerns" that some Internet service providers have still not blocked websites showing child sex abuse. The British government asked ISPs to block child porn, according to a list provided by the Internet Watch Foundation, before the end of 2007. However, 5 percent of broadband suppliers in the UK are still not blocking sites listed by the IWF. According to BBC News, the NSPCC's Zoe Hilton said, "Allowing this loophole helps feed the appalling trade in images featuring real children being seriously sexually assaulted.Read full story.....

Anti-porn online law dies quickly in Supreme Court
After ten years of the anti-porn law that was under the Child Online Protection Act, stopping minors from viewing harmful content over the internet, silently died off in the Supreme Court after Congress overwhelmingly approved the law ten years ago. "For over a decade the government has been trying to thwart freedom of speech on the Internet, and for years the courts have been finding the attempts unconstitutional," said Chris Hansen, star of To Catch a Predator on Dateline MSNBC. To help strengthen the case to keep the law alive, the Justice Department subpoenaed major Internet service providers in 2006.Read full story.....

Facebook: More Popular Than Porn
Perhaps a more interesting — and more accurate — way to figure out where college students are going online is to assess which of the 172 web categories tracked by Hitwise get the most hits from 18- to 24-year-olds. Heres a shocker: Porn is not No. 1. Ive actually been puzzled by the decrease in visits to the Adult Entertainment category over the last two years. Visits to porn sites have dropped from 16.9% of all site visits in the U.S. in October 2005 to 11.9% as of last week, a 33% decline. Currently, for web users over the age of 25, Adult Entertainment still ranks high in popularity, coming in second, after search engines. Not so for 18- to 24-year-olds, for whom social networks rank first, followed by search engines, then web-based e-mail — with porn sites lagging behind in fourth.neowin.net - 04.11.2007

Topics such as cosmetic surgery, dieting, family planning, and health are individually the focus of more than an hour a week's worth of viewing.Read full story.....

Deploying Windows in a Virtual World
Matt Graven: Virtualization is an important technology that most every infrastructure should be taking advantage of. It reduces hardware dependence by essentially creating a hardware abstraction layer. But while the deployment of virtual systems doesn't have to be different than the deployment of physical systems, there are some good reasons for why you should make it different.In the December installment of "The Desktop Files", Wes Miller explains how to set up virtualization in your organization, how to avoid the most common pitfalls, and how to deploy virtualization across a number of machines in your environment. You'll learn how to use Sysprep, efficiently manage drivers, and gracefully handle unique values such as MAC addresses.
