Hackers Invade Mars
2008-06-03 13:50:00 Well, the website for the NASA Phoenix Lander at least. From the Register: Add the webpages for the Phoenix Mars Lander to the list of high-profile sites that have been hacked by script kiddies. Not once, but twice. Security pros had to take down the University of Arizona-hosted site after hackers replaced the lead blog entry with graffiti that read “hacked by VITAL.” As if that wasn’t enough, members of the self-declared “sql loverz crew” redirected baffled visitors of the Phoenix mission’s official webpage and a companion site to a third-party destination. That page gave credit to hackers going by the names BLaSTER and Cr@zy_king. Red is the color of the Martian surface, but it seems it also describes the faces of security pros responsible for the sites. Evidently, they had better things to do than vet their scripts for SQL-injection vulnerabilities. So these hackers were willing to step in and test the sites for them. Pesky SQL Injection attac...

Hackers Find a New Place to Hide Rootkits
2008-05-15 03:23:00 Security researchers have developed a new type of malicious rootkt software that hides itself in an obscure part of a computer's microprocessor. It is Called as System Management Mode (SMM) rootkit, the software runs in a protected part of a computer's memory that can be locked and rendered invisible to the operating system, but which can give attackers a picture of what's happening in a computer's memory.The SMM rootkit comes with keylogging and communications software and could be used to steal sensitive information from a victim's computer. It was built by Shawn Embleton and Sherri Sparks, who run an Oviedo, Florida, security company called Clear Hat Consulting.The proof of concept software will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas this August.The rootkits used by cyber crooks today are sneaky programs designed to cover up their tracks while they run in order to avoid detection.

Coalition of SC sites starts new War on hackers
2008-04-22 00:00:00 A coalition of StarCraft sites has found an almost full proof method of finding hackers in the game. Nine cheaters have been banned… The new method of spotting maphackers who use Oblivion program was invented by Flag from TeamLiquid. Five sites: WGTour.com, TeamLiquid.net, Gosugamers.net, SCLegacy.com and Iccup.com have joined the “hunt for maphackers” and found nine players to be guilty. The method is pretty simple and works based on the studying of a replay and how a map hack covers the map hacker’s tracks. Below is the explanation from TeamLiquid: “When you select units (men/buildings) it is recorded in the replay. However, some map hacks remove the recording of selections on units which are not your own. The reason for this is because previously hackers have been caught by analyzing the replay and finding cases of them clicking on things which they could not see without a map hack. Because in BroodWar selecting an enemy unit is the only way to s...

Website Hackers Hiding in Porno and Gambling Sites?
2008-04-14 17:20:00 Do you visit pornographic websites? Do you visit gambling-related sites? If you do, think twice again - you are at risk. According to a report by BBC, quoting Symantec, website hackers can learn loopholes of your websites through your browser that has touched a porn or gambling site, or an unsecured website. The BBC report reads: Kevin Hogan, director of security operations at Symantec, said the bug-ridden web code was putting visitors to many entirely innocent sites at risk. "It overturns the whole notion that if you stay away from gambling and porn sites you are okay," he said.The attack that a malicious hacker can carry out via these web code vulnerabilities is known as cross-site scripting (abbreviated as XSS). The next time the temptation to surf a porno website is strong, think of how much damage that can do to you, as a consequence. | | Separate Word: Learn how to make a yourname dot com website without knowledge of HTML and Computer Programming at ThinkHost's ...

On Fitna, Bloggers vs. Hackers, and Computer Illiterate MPs
2008-04-12 09:17:00 Fitna is a short film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, which explores Qur'anic motivation for terrorism and Islam in the Netherlands (explanatory stolen from Wikipedia). On April 7, Indonesia has blocked access to YouTube and a couple of other websites such as MySpace and Multiply. The Minister of Information and Communications Muhammad Nuh has passed a bill that forces 146 ISP's in Indonesia to block access to YouTube. Kompas has confirmed that the reason for the block is Youtube's refusal to remove Fitna from their servers.After a week of public debates and overwhelming protests, Nuh has apologised for ordering the blocking of Youtube, Multiply and a few other sites which host the video Fitna, and the virtual community in Indonesia can relax, sit back, and exhale for a while. There is still one thing to be dealt with, though.
