For the month of August, 23% of spam with malicious... --------------------------------------------- http://feeds.trendmicro.com/~r/Anti-MalwareBlog/~3/7c3B-kxDrTA/
*** Dropbox Installation Hinders ASLR *** --------------------------------------------- The popular cloud storage service Dropbox is reportedly undercutting the efficacy of access space layout randomization (ASLR) by failing to enable that feature within the dynamic link libraries (DLLs) it injects into other applications. --------------------------------------------- http://threatpost.com/dropbox-installation-hinders-aslr/102304
*** Not So Fast on BEAST Attack Mitigations *** --------------------------------------------- The BEAST attacks, once thought mitigated, may again be viable because of weaknesses in RC4 rendering server-side mitigation moot, and Apples reluctance to enable a 1/1-n split client-side mitigation by default. --------------------------------------------- http://threatpost.com/not-so-fast-on-beast-attack-mitigations/102308

*** Google knows nearly every Wi-Fi password in the world *** --------------------------------------------- If an Android device (phone or tablet) has ever logged on to a particular Wi-Fi network, then Google probably knows the Wi-Fi password. ... Android devices have defaulted to coughing up Wi-Fi passwords since version 2.2. And, since the feature is presented as a good thing, most people wouldnt change it. I suspect that many Android users have never even seen the configuration option controlling this. --------------------------------------------- http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/22806/google-knows-nearly-every-wi-fi...
*** With XPs End of Life, Munich Will Distribute Ubuntu CDs *** --------------------------------------------- SmartAboutThings writes "Windows XP is going to officially die and stop receiving support from Microsoft in April, 2014.

*** A Random Diary, (Tue, Sep 17th) *** --------------------------------------------- The current discussion about breaking encryption algorithm has one common thread: random number generators. No matter the encryption algorithm, if your encryption keys are not random, the algorithm can be brute forced much easier then theoretically predicted based on the strength of the algorithm. All encryption algorithms depend on good random keys and generating good random numbers has long been a problem. In Unix systems for example, you will have two random devices: /dev/random and... --------------------------------------------- http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=16592&rss
