- CERT reports ICQ security hole - America Online has modified the
ICQ server infrastructure to filter out code that exploits the vulnerability, but users
are advised to
upgrade to the latest client.
- Ask your machine what's wrong - Siemens is taking off-the-shelf
technologies to let engineers fix mechanical problems by pointing a portable
camera at bar code-like identifiers--then tapping into a database.
- Palm to unveil wireless device - The company will unveil on Monday
its second-generation wireless handheld, according to sources familiar with the product.
- Hackers' mirror shattered - The hacker community received a blow today when
defacement mirror Safemode.org closed its doors. Safemode was the last major site to
record the web pages of the rich and famous after they had been defaced by hackers and
before they were taken down and repaired.
- Set a hacker to catch a hacker - Pimpshiz, the hacker who rose to notoriety in
2000 during a pro-Napster defacement spree, has gone straight. Although his case is
still pending in the US judicial system, Robert Lyttle, as he is now known, is trying to
make a break as a security expert. With a string of website defacements under his belt including
military, FBI, and Nasa sites, Lyttle has started up a security company, Sub-Seven
Software. He believes that the security industry could do with a word of advice from the
dark side of the hat.
- Telstra Broadband - According to recent
surveys, more Australians use Telstra BigPond than any other Internet provider.
Providing a large range of dial-up, cable, ADSL and satellite plans to choose from - it's
no wonder that they enjoy this large market share. But unfortunately for their consumers,
things have taken a turn for the worse.
- Intel Expected to Cut Pentium 4 Prices Over Weekend -
Intel is expected to cut prices on its highest-performance Pentium 4 processors
and other chips over the weekend as the world's largest chipmaker passes on cost savings
from new manufacturing technologies, analysts said.
- GeForce4 Pictures - SavageNews re-posted sweet pictures of
GeForce4 board!
- LindowsOS preview - The installation was too easy. I
didn't get any options and had nothing to configure. No language selection, no time zone,
not even the X11. And it didn't take long. From the time I clicked on the hybrid
lawyer-speak license-that-mentions-the-GPL-but-doesn't-like-it-much, to the time the GUI
fired up, no more than ten minutes passed. A friend who signed up as a "Lindows
Insider" and agreed to share his LindowsOS experiences with us if we didn't use his
name said his installation went the same as mine: Easy, but very
limited.
- 3D Blaster GeForce3 Ti 500 review - At this moment, actually
just a few weeks before the announcement of GeForce4 the GeForce3 Ti500
is the fastest 3D Graphics consumer videocard available to date. The last products we
reviewed from Creative was their GeForce3, performance was right on par with the NVIDIA
reference design. Basically a very good product but what I missed and noted in that review
was some custom made items like ram sinks and high-performance cooling, I recall it
overclocked like a lunatic despite whose missing features
- SQL Server Text Formatting Functions Contain Unchecked Buffers -
Use of an invalid format type character may allow SQL Server to overwrite an
internal buffer that may overwrite an address in the SQL Server process space with
arbitrary data. If SQL Server overwrites an address in the SQL Server process space with
arbitrary data, SQL Server may potentially allow you to execute arbitrary code within SQL
Server or the SQL Server process may abnormally terminate.
- Perl2Exe - Perl2Exe
is a command line program for converting perl scripts to exe files. This allows you to
create stand alone programs in perl that do not require the perl interpreter. You can ship
the exe file without having to ship your perl source code.
- Apache 1.3.23 Out - The latest Apache HTTP server -- Apache 1.3.23 -- fixes a
number of bugs. It fixes the incorrect "Content-Length" header in the 416
response and reverts mod_negotiation's handling of path_info and query_args to the 1.3.20
behavior. It also prevents an Apache model from being loaded or added twice due to
duplicate LoadModule or AddModule directives. As for new features,
1.3.23 adds HTTP/1.1 support for mod_proxy and makes a number of other mod_proxy
improvements.
