Sync’s “hands-free” features mean that instead of fiddling with music or phone calls, drivers can keep their “eyes glued on the road, where they belong,” said Tony Baker, general manager of a Ford dealership in Brookfield, Wis. The in-car voice-activated system lets you link up an iPod and other digital music players through a connector in the boot between the driver and passenger seats, as well as wirelessly bond your cell phone to the system over Bluetooth . After turning on the phone’s Bluetooth, connecting it to the car was a few simple steps of tapping some buttons on a dashboard panel and then entering a short code from Sync into the phone. Then all you need to do to access your music collection is press the “media” button on the steering wheel and call out instructions such as “play track ‘Apologize,’” “play playlist ‘workout 1′” and “play artist ‘Winehouse. Exchanges with Sync are two-way conversations, with the system talking back and asking for confirmations — always giving you a chance to make a correction just in case it doesn’t understand. The “hands-free” features mean that instead of fiddling with music or phone calls, drivers can keep their “eyes glued on the road, where they belong. read more

Consentry’s incremental update of its appliance OS adds more active authentication options, authentication server cascading, support for Microsoft NAP, log-off detection, and dashboard support. Consentry’s incremental update of its LANshield OS appliance OS adds more active authentication options, authentication server cascading, support for Microsoft NAP, log-off detection, and dashboard support. Multiple authentication systems can be used simultaneously with authentication maps defining the order that servers should be used based on domain name, port, or VLAN. Link down detection is available only on the switch because the LANshield ties a user identity to a switch port. The new reporting can also break out the user agents using HTTP as a transport—a useful feature for determining what browsers are in the network, determining network device types and monitoring activity. read more

IRC is the forerunner of today’s instant messaging applications and has been the source of other hack attacks. On a command from IRC, the infected PC began scanning computers on Auburn’s network, looking for other computers to infect through Microsoft’s LSASS bug. But with the malicious code inside the network, the firewall was helpless to stop the scans. Wilson was tipped to the attack by Auburn’s open-source intrusion detection system, Snort, which picked up the flood of data traffic on Port 445 and sent an e-mail. It was a live channel of communication going back and forth. As Auburn’s PCs were taken over, they sent their Internet Protocol addresses back through IRC so the various botmasters running the attack would know how many and which machines they controlled. read more

Please input the letters/numbers that appear in the image below. Almost all of the file system and registry would be off-limits to it for writing, reducing the ability of an exploit to modify the system or harm user files. This leads me to question why Mozilla is dragging its feet in supporting Protected Mode. Since FF is not tied directly into the system and it runs as a normal program, it does not have access to all the system critical functions of the OS so it doesn’t have the vulnerability or need to really run under Protected mode. Also, if Mozilla were to implement Protected Mode in Firefox, it would have the same security benefit as IE, even though it is clearly not “embedded” in the OS. read more

Every HP laptop that ships with HP Software Update, a patch utility, is vulnerable to a zero-day vulnerability that can leave the PC unbootable. The flaw is located in the software called HP Software Update shipped with the HP notebooks to support automatic software updates and critical vulnerability patching. One of the ActiveX controls deployed by default by the vendor contains an insecure method giving a potential attacker the remote system arbitrary file write access. Using this flaw one can construct an armed exploit, able for example to destroy remote system kernel files and make the remote machine UNBOOTABLE. read more
