- PROTOS Remote SNMP Attack Tool - This tool (may be
circulating in the computer underground) has the immediate ability to crash SNMP daemons
and hardware devices running SNMP. The circulation of this tool may lead to a widespread
use of new exploits

protocol on the Internet. Nearly every operating system, router, switch, cable or DSL
modem, and firewall is shipped with an SNMP service.
- Dot-US Addresses Coming Soon - NeuStar Inc., the Washington-based company that last year won the

- Windows XP Cracks Circulating - Two different programs, that can activate Windows XP without
Microsofts blessing are circulating. The Patch made by the group Sad Team consists of a
700 KByte EXE-file that contains an Installer.
- Four 5-Megapixel Cameras In Review - Though they are much more
expensive than conventional film cameras, digital
cameras have rapidly gained market popularity. And while they do not necessarily
outsell in numbers, they are certainly market winners in terms of money. Anyone can find a
good reason for succumbing to their charms. First of all, because they don't require film,
there are no development costs. Secondly, they have features not found in conventional
cameras - for instance, a Webcam mode or the ability to produce short movie sequences. In
short, digital cameras strive to combine the quality of a film camera with the immediacy
of a Polaroid. 24-hour, or even 1-hour photo development is thus rendered obsolete; photos
can first be viewed on the monitor at the back of the camera, then on a computer.
- Wireless LAN Jukebox Review - Want to be able to walk the entire
range of your wireless LAN and control your MP3 jukebox? Set your killer speakers on the

ahead and presents a recorder that supports the faster recording speeds at both CD-R and
CD-RW formats.
- Inno3D Tornado GeForce4 MX 440 Graphics card review - The Inno3D GeForce4 MX 440

Inno3D mousepad (not pictured), A/V cables and the Inno3D MegaPack Bundle which consists

- 4-Way GeForce4 MX Shootout - Taking many of the same board-level features of the GeForce4 and throwing in
the sub-$150 video card market has generated a lot of interest in the boards.
Unfortunately, with all the coverage that this chip has garnered, a certain amount of
questionable press has arisen as of late.
