1.10.2009Gmail Exploit Allows Hackers to Create Filters
An exploit in Gmail could allow hackers to add filters to peoples' accounts without them even knowing. This could be used to forward received emails.
Steven Musil briefly outlined how this attack can be done:
When you create a filter, a complex URL with several variables is
used to transfer the information from page to page. In a normal browser, much of this information is hidden for security reasons. However, using
Firefox addon called "Live HTTP Headers", a user can see exactly what is sent via the URL.
If you look carefully enough, says Steven,
you can figure out which variables are equivalent to the username, and use that to create the filters.
------------
To
protect yourself, you should not be logged into your Gmail account when it's not in use, and you should check your filters often to make sure that
they haven't been taken advantage of.
Steven also points out that any other websites using cookies for authentication can be exploited
in the same way. The best method to avoid this happening to you, is to simply stay off of websites that you don't trust.
Be safe!..

19.09.2009How to check your Hotmail in Safari (3 or) 4
Like a lot of other issues with Hotmail and non-IE browsers, you just need to change the User Agent string to fool Hotmail into thinking it is dealing
with a browser it knows about. In Safari, this is pretty easy to do. As far as we can tell, however, Safari doesnt remember the User Agent settings
from session to session, so you would need to reset the User Agent for each new session that you want to check your Hotmail account.

08.03.2009Amid gloom and doom, US tops list of world's most competitive economies
Outsourcing? Check.
Alarmingly low math and science prowess in education? Check.
Plenty of lobbyist abuse and special
interests? Check.
Really weak telecom infrastructure? Check.
Most competitive economy on Planet Earth? Uh,
check.
According to new research from the World Economic Forum, the US heads the
list of most competitive economies on
the globe. It beats all comers in part through an "excellent university system" and research collaboration between business and academia, and
the report calls it "arguably the country with the most productive and innovative potential in the world."
Stop me if you've
heard this before, but you probably haven't. The last two years have seen an enormous amount of fretting over US economic strength and
competitiveness, but the WEF's research indicates that things may be much better than perceived.

11.07.2008Deployed: Windows Vista SP1 RC on ALL of my PCs
Brandon LeBlanc: Today Nick announced the availability of the release candidate for Windows Vista SP1. I had a chance to get the RC build of Windows
Vista SP1 installed a few days ago. I decided to roll the RC out on all of my PCs which showcase a variety of device types and scenarios:
- My Main Desktop PC running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 - check.
- My Test/Work PC running Windows Vista Business - check.
- My Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate - check.
- My Samsung Q1 UMPC running Windows Vista Home Premium - check.
- My Digital CableCard PC running Windows Vista Home Premium - check.
In installing the RC on my PCs, I did a combination of
using the standalone installer and Windows Update. Before proceeding to install the SP1 RC bits, I first needed to uninstall the SP1 beta bits first.
Users looking to install the Windows Vista SP1 RC will need to uninstall any previous version of SP1 prior to the installation of the RC from either
Windows Update or the standalone installer.

08.06.2006ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7.1 Adds Vista Support
Check Point Software today
released ZoneAlarm Internet
Security Suite 7.1, a
Vista-compatible version of
its flagship security suite.
Vista-compatible versions of
ZoneAlarm Antivirus and the
popular free ZoneAlarm
Firewall are also available.
Past versions of
ZoneAlarm's products have
relied on Microsoft's TDI
(Transport Device Interface)
to track network behavior.
Windows Vista retains support
for TDI, but introduces the
new Windows Filtering Platform
(WFP). While porting to Vista
using TDI would have been
easier, Check Point chose to
support WFP for this
Vista-compatible version. When
installed on Windows 2000 and
XP, however, version 7.1 will
still use TDI.
Check
Point is the first major
security vendor to make use of
the Vista-specific Windows
Filtering Platform. Company
representatives explained that
Microsoft will stop fixing
problems with TDI in the
future, so by utilizing WFP,
users can be prepared for
Vista threats...
