- Windows NT/2000 DoS via Stream3 Flood Attack - Stream 3 is
flood attack of identical empty TCP packets with ACK and FIN flags. Dark Zoro and Error
discovered unpatched Windows leaks the memory from non-paged kernel space during stream 3 attack against NetBIOS
(TCP/139) port. Hehe sounds like soap opera isn't it? :)
- Intrusion Software Maker Snorts At Security Alert - The
developer of Snort, a popular open-source intrusion detection system (IDS), downplayed
reports of a security
flaw that could enable attackers to disable the software. According to an alert
released Monday by Internet Security Systems (ISS), Snort versions 1.8.3 and earlier are
susceptible to a denial of service attack.
- Passport glitch hits Microsoft game site - The Zone suffers another glitch
in its switch to Microsoft's Passport identification system, logging subscribers on to a
bogus Hotmail e-mail account.
- Compact Disc Recorded in Windows XP Is Missing Files or Folders, or Is
Unreadable - When you copy files or folders to a compact disc-recordable (CD-R)
or a compact disc-rewritable (CD-RW) by using a compact disc recorder, any of the following behaviors may occur...
- US and Israel the cyber crime kings - The US is the largest mass producer of cyber
attacks, according to security expert Riptech, with Israel producing the most attacks
per capita. In its report out today (28 Jan) Riptech, which investigated over
128,000 cyber attacks in an analysis of 5.5 billion log entries over the six months to
December, found that hi-tech, financial, power and media companies were the most likely to
suffer.
- Asus jumps gun on Geforce 4 - ASUSTeK Computer Inc., today announced the
most comprehensive graphics card lineup based on the advanced NVIDIA GeForce4 GPU
(graphical processor units) family: ASUS V8460 Series GeForce4 Ti
4600 Graphics Card, (ASUS V8460Ultra) Core clock speed of 330MHz, memory
clock speed of 660MHz, combined with 128MB DDR SDRAM; ASUS V8440
Series GeForce4 Ti 4400 Graphics Card, (ASUS V8440) Core clock speed of 300MHz and

of DDR SDRAM; ASUS V8170SE GeForce4 MX SDR Graphics Card,
(ASUS V8170SE) Core clock speed of 250MHz and memory clock speed of 166MHz, combined
with 64MB of SDRAM. ASUS graphics cards based on GeForce4 technology will be shipping in
quantities late February 2002.
- Iwill XP-333 Review - Some time back we had taken a look at an
Engineering Sample of the Iwill
XP-333-R Motherboard and were impressed by it. It was the first board to feature
ATA-133 as well as DDR-333 support for the AMD platform- although unofficially.
- Creative's Nomad 3 Info - The Nomad 3
looks very much like the older Nomad Jukebox and comes with a 20GB hard drive. The most
notable feature about this unit is that it has added a FireWire port to go with the USB
port for transfering files from PC to player. This addition is obviously an answer to the
success of Apple's iPod, the first MP3 portable to use FireWire. The Nomad 3 will be the
first player for the PC to offer this feature (unless the poeple at Apple release a
Windows version of the iPod within the next couple of months).
- Creative Extigy Review - Extigy, as
you may have heard over the past few weeks is Creative's new sound card/amplifier device
than can either be hooked up to your PC or be separately used as an amplifier. This is
another example of the trend we've been observing in the technology sector in the past few
months- the convergence of consumer devices and PC devices. Like the Acer MiniDVD Player
we reviewed a few days ago. Lets take a look
at some of the specifications of Audigy.
- GeForece2Go Review - While the current GeForce2Go is one of the top performers in the notebook market, the
name still says it all. GeForce 2 Go. The GeForce2's day in the sun is long past, as the
GeForce3 and GeForce3 Titanium families are also nearing the end of their product cycle.
Considering nVidia has all but passed up the opportunity for a GeForce3Go (or perhaps,
GeForce3-2-Go?), we're betting that nVidia's next generation mobile chip (codenamed
NV17-M) should be hitting markets fairly soon with a new name attached.
- Athlon XP 2300+ vs. Pentium 4/3000 Comparison - TomsHardware
have probed
the limits of both the Athlon XP 2000+ and the Pentium 4/2000 (Northwood core). The
Athlon XP 2300+ cannot quite keep apace of the Intel Pentium 4/3000, but the values that
we measured are very impressive. In order to outperform the Intel Pentium 4/3000, AMD must
switch over to 0.13 Micron in order to enable higher clock speeds.GF4 MX
Performance - Apple has published Quake 3 benchmarks
for their Power Mac G4 which include results from a GeForce4 MX.
- Top 10 Graphics Boards for Gamers - In PCWorld
tests, ATI's card wasn't the fastest (that honor goes to VisionTek's Xtasy 6964 card,
which is based on NVidia's GeForce3 Ti 500 graphics chip), but the Radeon edged its
competitors in overall image quality. In most test games, the VisionTek Xtasy 6964
(GeForce3 Ti 500) and Xtasy 6564 (GeForce3 Ti 200) achieved similar frame rates at all but
the highest 1600 by 1200 resolutions. The VisionTek Xtasy 5864 and Gainward's GeForce2
Ti/500 (both GeForce2 Ti cards) kept up with those boards in test games at lower
resolutions, but dropped farther back at the highest resolution.
- Monthly Value Gaming System Buyer's Guide - Configuring a value
gaming system is not simply a process of picking the best components, but one of
concessions made in your choices. After all, you could buy a high-end Pentium 4-2.2 GHz
and a 21" monitor but have little cash left for the other required components. In SharkyExtreme
Value Gaming PC Buyer's Guide, they attempt to find a happy medium between spending a
fortune on a new PC and buying sub-par components just to hit a certain price.
- MouseBoots HowTo - Today in the gaming world, people want to get
the most out of their mice. There are many different types of products you can buy to
decrease the friction between your mouse, and the surface it sits upon. Well fret no more.
If you have $1, then you, yes you can make your very own MouseB00tz.
- Microsoft Office XP Developer SP1 - This Service Pack provides compatibility with new technologies, such
as Microsoftr Windows XP and Office XP Service Pack 1, and improvements in reliability of
the Digital Dashboard design surface and the scalability of the Workflow Designer for SQL
Server. Important: To install this Service Pack, you must have access to the
original Office XP Developer CDs or the network from which you installed Office XP
Developer.
- CorelDraw 10 SP2 - CorelDRAW
10 Service Pack 2 adds the latest enhancements and fixes to your existing copy of
CorelDRAW 10. It updates the English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and
Italian releases of CorelDRAW 10 Graphics Suite 10.427 (Service Pack 1) and CorelDRAW 10
Graphics Suite.
- AnalogX PortBlocker - AnalogX PortBlocker
lets you block the Internet port of most servers, making them unreachable to other
computers on the Internet. In addition to blocking your ports, you can log any access
attempts made by other machines. The program is configured to block the most common types
of servers, so it will not require any modification for most users.
- SpyStopper 1.75 - When you use your computer and Internet, you
may be monitored, tracked, and profiled without your knowledge or explicit permission.
Hackers, advertisers, and corporations may use Web bugs, spyware, cookies, worms,
advertisements, and scripts to gain access to your information and invade your privacy - download.
- Fraps 1.6 - A new version of the FRAPS benchmark utility is
now available. The program is designed as a generic tool to monitor framerates in DirectX
games. The name itself is derived from the term Frames Per Second (FPS) which is what the
program displays in the corner of the game's screen. It measures the framerate by
monitoring calls to flip the screen at the end of each render.
- Secure FTP Server Beta 1 - GlobalSCAPE has released Secure FTP
Server Beta 1 for WinNT/2k/XP.
- NVmax 4.00.30 - A. Charnley has released a new version of
his Nvidia graphics card tweaker.
- CpuIdle 5.9 final beta - CpuIdle lowers the CPU
temperature. This enhances CPU life (a decrease by 10°C doubles the life span) and cuts
power consumption.
- SiS 1.09 AGP/IDE Driver - SiS has released new AGP/IDE drivers.
- MSI nVidia 27.20 2k/XP Detonators - 3D Chipset has posted
new MSI nVidia 27.20 detonator drivers.
- Creative Webcam Drivers - Creative Labs has released WinXP updates for
their PC-CAM 300, WebCam Go ES, WebCam Go Plus, WebCam Go and WebCam.
- NVIDIA Detonator 26.25 & 26.53 for Win2K/XP - Max Reboot has
some working
download locations for these two NVIDIA Detonator drivers (download the 26.25 version here and the
26.53 version here)
