Quite an interesting finding.  Two researchers Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini have found that keystokes can be sniffed from the electromagnectic waves generated by the keyboard. They tested around 11 types of keyboard and found they are were vulnerable to atleast one of the 4 types of attack methods. They have recorded a video demonstration of the attack

I came across this interesting news on CNN where a woman in Japan was arrested for killing her virtual husband. She had happily married virtually to a man from Japan on popular interactive game “Maple Story” and suddenly the man decided to divorce her. This made her mad and she decided to take revenge on him in real life by logging in as her virtual husband and committed virtual suicide. Man..that hurtsss.

I came across this generalized list of 10 most essential Linux Office applications. The software listed here is simple to use, reliable, (mostly) scalable, and business ready.Of course, this is a generalised list. Far more specialised office-type software is available on the Linux platform. One of the best places to look for such software is in your Install Software tool, such as Synaptic or Yumex (the tool you have will depend upon the distribution you use). Look through the various categories (a good place to start is the ‘Office’ category) to find what you need.

Well this is not much of a off-topic post. We all are aware that challenging mental activities such as puzzles can help preserve brain function, but now a recent study showed that even searching on Internet can help keeping brain active. ”

SQL Injection

Well personally I don’t totally depend on automated scanners totally for appsecs but they do help in many cases where the task is repeating or large number of input fields need to be audited. but Appscan would be my choice if it was freeware

Ahaaaa.. Newer version of Metasploit is ready to be released sooner. these will contain few newer added features. To brief , they include names such as Browser AutoPwn, Metasploit in the Middle and the Evil Wireless Access Point. As all know Metasploit is free exploit scanner and the best available. Metasploit3.0 project has moved to an all Ruby programming base, which Moore credits with quickening development and exploits.

It has made hacking (for kiddies) very easy. Just choose the target, the exploit and the payload and Boom you get their shell (of-course if the system is vulnerable).

Hula Guys….I’m back with yet another topic on cryptography. This time, it’s cryptographic file systems. Securing data is more important than ever. As the Internet has become more pervasive, security attacks have grown. Widely-available studies report millions of dollars of lost revenues due to security breaches. As security becomes a greater focus in networks, every aspect of online information needs a level of protection from the network-level use of firewalls and IDS to the host-level use of IDS. But these days, an additional level of security has come on the forefront of information security field. Cryptographic File Systems.
