WPA is going the way of WEP, cracked in 15 minutes flat

According to PC World the days of securing your WIFI network using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) may be over, as researcher Erik Tews will show how he was able to crack WPA encryption in around 15 minutes at a the Tokyo PacSec Conference in two weeks time.

WPA was designed to overcome the insecurities in hacked Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) which can be hacked in a few minutes using a modern laptop.

Erik Tews will be demonstrating how he cracked the WPA encryption to read the data being sent from a router to a laptop.

To read the data being sent Tews found a way to crack the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) key without resorting to using a dictionary attack which, security experts have agreed that the protocol might be vulnerable too.
Although this is a big step Tews was still unable to crack the keys used to encrypt the data being sent back to the router from the laptop.

If the demonstration lives up to its headline then the days of WPA look to be numbered. This would come as a big blow to both consumers and corporations alike.

WPA is the most common standard of encryption in uses but, there is also a newer more secure standard WPA2, (which uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is unaffected), although support is still patchy. Consumer may find they are forced to still rely on the now unsecure WPA encryption to connect their devices to the network.

For Business this is even bigger headache. The TJ Maxx chain had hundreds of millions of customer details stolen due in part to the fact that they were still using the cracked WEP standard. It’s easy to see a situation where hackers may try to do the same using WPA forcing corporate users to VPN or WPA2 dumping devices that can’t support these protocols.

Jobs' Apple Makes Its Mark In The Dictionary

LONDON - A "podcast" is at once a portmanteau; derived from the words "broadcasting" and "iPod", and a misnomer; neither podcasting nor podcast listening requires an iPod, and no broadcasting is really required. Even so, portmanteaux and misnomers are not precluded from appearing in the dictionary; hence the word's selection as the Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary.
Even though society's neologisms are normally ephemeral--words die out the minute better technologies are discovered--once you're in the dictionary, you're there forever. Journalist Ben Hammersley may have coined the term, yet it's Apple Computer Chief Executive Steve Jobs that becomes one of those rarities; a man so inventive in the sphere of technology, he has left his mark on our language.

The official term, to be added to the online version of the dictionary during the next update early next year, is defined as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player". ..

Apple gets in a mucking fuddle over iPhone dictionary app

In the latest twist of Apple's confusing iPhone AppStore policies, one developers dictionary application was rejected for "objectionable content". Why? It contained swear words. In a blog post by John Gruber, technical writer and technology pundit, Gruber confirms Apple censored an English dictionary. Matchstick software, developers of Ninja Words - a "really fast" dictionary, first submitted their iPhone application on May 13; it was rejected two days later. According to Phil Crosby, one of Ninjawords's developers, "Our app was crashing on the latest beta of iPhone OS 3.0. We quickly fixed this issue and resubmitted." Matchstick did not hear from Apple again until May 30 when Apple rejected the application for "objectionable content".

Google can crack passwords

A clever bloke into security research at the University of Cambridge computer lab wrote in his bog last Friday that he's discovered Google works as a password MD5 hash cracker. Someone had hacked into his bogsite a few weeks ago and created a user account. After he quickly disabled the rogue account, Steven J. Murdoch did some forensics work -- he's doing academic security research, remember -- and thought to figure out the attacker's password.

Since his blogsite uses Wordpress, which stores passwords as unsalted MD5 hashes in its user database, he tried a dictionary attack. That didn't find any match, even with numbers added to the ends of words. He then used a Russian dictionary, because shell code that had been installed by the attacker had Russian in the comments. No word matchup there, either.

Murdoch writes that he could have found or written a better password cracker. He could have varied the case of letters, added symbols to the mix, or used common substitutions of numbers for letters, but he didn't want to spend more time. Instead, he turned to Google. He plugged the raw MD5 hash of the attacker's password into a Google search and, voila, Google found him some matches.

"w00t" crowned word of year by U.S. dictionary

"w00t," an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary.



Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster Inc. said "w00t" -- typically spelled with two zeros -- reflects a new direction in the American language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text-messaging.



It's like saying "yay," the dictionary said.



"It could be after a triumph or for no reason at all," Merriam-Webster said.

GPU-Accelerated Wi-Fi password cracking goes mainstream

The once thought 8 character length password may no longer be safe, after the GPU-accelerated password recovery attack can break weak WPA/WPA-2 PSK passwords. The Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor mentioned that its software can work completely off-line and find passwords by analyzing a dump of network communications, and display them in plain-text. The Wireless Security Auditor does require the source of a valid log of wireless communication. Experts have urged IT managers to move from 8 character WMP passwords to 12 or 15, in a quote from David Hobson: "It's a wake-up call to IT managers, pure and simple. IT managers should now move to 12 and even 16 character keys as a matter of urgency.

America to crack down on blogger payola

US regulators are to crack down on bloggers who fail to disclose money or gifts received from companies when reviewing their products. In the new policy from the Federal Trade Commission, offending bloggers could eventually face fines of up to $11,000 (£6,900) per violation, according to the BBC. So-called payola schemes have increased in recent years, with marketers realising the potential of encouraging bloggers and forum contributors to produce reviews or testimonials on their products in exchange for money of freebies. Although the guidelines released by the FTC are not binding by law, they are interpretations of the law that hope to help advertisers comply with regulations, such as those on disclosing endorsements.

Google admits word database came from third party

Google has acknowledged that a dictionary of Chinese words used with one of its recently released software tools came from a third party. Google's Pinyin Input Method Editor (IME) " was built leveraging some non-Google database resources ," wrote Google China spokeswoman Cui Jin in an e-mail response. Google's Pinyin IME bears an uncanny resemblance to Sohu's Sogou Pinyin IME, which draws search queries from the company's search engine to suggest characters that match the Pinyin entered by a user. On Friday, the Chinese Internet company Sohu.com gave Google until Monday to stop downloads of its IME software and issue an apology. Sohu also wants compensation from Google.

The dictionaries used with both software from Google and Sohu shared several common mistakes, where Chinese characters were matched with the wrong Pinyin equivalents. In addition, both dictionaries listed the names of engineers who had developed Sohu's Sogou Pinyin IME. A review of the first version conducted by Sohu's engineers revealed a dictionary of around 330,000 words and their Pinyin equivalents, including more than 300,000 entries that are identical with Sohu's dictionary, said Wang Xiaochuan, Sohu's vice president of technology and head of the company's research and development center. On Friday, Google released an updated version that removed the names of the Sohu engineers, removed 600 words, while adding just one to the dictionary. That update did not remove Pinyin errors but Sunday's did. " The new dictionary is now based on tens of thousands of entries Google's enormous search database has accumulated over the years ," Cui wrote. That claim was confirmed Monday by Sohu, which said the similarity between Google's dictionary and its own dictionary had fallen from 96% to 79% with the latest version of the software.

Even with Vista SP1, Hackers Still Crack WGA

The fact that Microsoft has relaxed its antipiracy mechanism built into Windows Vista concomitantly with the release of Service Pack 1 failed to stop hackers from providing a crack for the latest version of Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. Various reports point out that Genuine Advantage Validation and Notifications versions 1.7.69.1 (1.7.0069.1) and 1.7.69.2 released in March 2008, following the March 18 availability of Windows Vista SP1 through Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center, have been cracked.

The workaround is designed to be integrated with pirated copies of Windows XP and Windows Vista in order to render useless the WGA Validation mechanism. According to the reports, applying the WGA crack will permit users of counterfeit versions of Windows to access and download items from Windows Update, Microsoft Download Center and Microsoft Update. The pirated operating systems with the cracked WGA will pass all validations on Microsoft's websites and offer anything from updates to applications that are restricted to users of genuine operating systems only.

Happy Birthday Google (8 Today)

There I was using google for my own personal search algorithms, and noticed it's now 8-years old.

History
Google Inc. is an American public corporation, first incorporated as a privately held corporation on 7 September 1998, that designed and manages the Internet's most used search engine. The company has approximately 8,000 employees and is based in Mountain View, California. Eric Schmidt, former chief executive officer of Novell, was named Google's CEO when co-founder Larry Page stepped down.

The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol," which refers to a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros. Google has had a major impact on online culture. The verb "google" was recently added to both the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary, meaning to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet . - Source: Wikipedia
