Synopsis: The mechanics of BIOS password locks present in current generation laptops are briefly outlined. Trivial mechanisms have been put in place by most vendors to bypass such passwords, rendering the protection void. A set of master password generators and hands-on instructions are given to disable BIOS passwords. When a laptop is locked with password, a checksum of that password is stored to a so-called FlashROM - this is a chip on the mainboard of the device which also contains the BIOS code and other settings, e.g. memory timings. The dramatic 'System Disabled' message is just scare tactics: when you remove all power from the laptop and reboot it, it will work just as before. From such a checksum (also called "hash"), valid passwords can be found by means of brute-forcing.

http://socialtimes.com/what-consumers-should-know-about-facebook-and-malware-from-the-head-of-bitdefenders-online-threats-lab_b34354 It’s not the mobile device that’s endangering your Facebook, it’s your Facebook that’s endangering your mobile device. That’s the headline of a new study from security firm BitDefender that identified social media as the biggest threat for introducing malware on mobile devices. The results should be a wake-up call to all social network users so we went straight to the source to get more answers, speaking with Catalin Cosoi, head of the BitDefender Online Threats Lab. He tells us what users should know about the study and what they can do to protect themselves.

http://toplien.blogspot.com/2010/09/blogger-adresse-mail2blogger-compromise.html De récents messages arrivés sous forme de brouillons et me proposant des échanges de liens sur un autre blog m'ont mis la puce à l'oreille. En cherchant un peu j'ai trouvé une page sur le Malware Blog de TrendLabs parlant d'une récente forme d'attaque de spammers par l'intermédiaire de l'adresse mail2blogger, qui permet de poster des messages sur Blogger à partir d'une simple adresse mail, en principe secrète. Heureusement les bloggueurs peuvent interdire la publication définitive de ces brouillons, ce qui fait que la nuisance réelle est quasi-nulle. Comment un marketeur peut-il penser qu'il va vendre quelque chose en utilisant une méthode aussi heu... exotique ? Je suis perplexe.

CENTRE FRANÇAIS DE RECHERCHE SUR LE RENSEIGNEMENT

"Syrie: une libanisation fabriquée. Compte-rendu de mission d'évaluation auprès des protagonistes de la crise syrienne", Rapport rédigé en collaboration, Centre international de recherche et d'études sur le terrorisme et d'aide aux victimes du terrorisme (CIRET-AVT) et Centre Français de Recherche sur le Renseignement (CF2R), Paris, janvier 2012 (traduit en anglais). Après la Tunisie, l'Egypte, la Libye, le Bahreïn et le Yémen, la Syrie a été touchée par un vaste mouvement de contestation de l'ordre établi. Mais le « printemps » syrien, expression d'un vrai mouvement populaire et d'une légitime revendication à la libéralisation politique, s'est rapidement transformé, à la fin du printemps, en une crise armée entre une opposition se radicalisant et un régime sécuritaire. http://www.cf2r.org/fr

Percer les secrets de Kismet

Utiliser Kismet et comprendre les problèmes de sécurité Kismet rentre dans la catégorie des "sniffers". Il permet de récupérer un certain nombre d'informations sur les réseaux Wi-Fi qui peuvent mettre à mal leur sécurité. Kismet est souvent comparé au logiciel Windows Netstumbler. Nous pensons que c'est un tort que l'on fait à Kismet tant ses fonctionnalités dépassent de loin celles de Netstumbler. http://www.harakiwi.net/book/export/html/77

ACTA : des documents confidentiels diffusés sur Internet - Numerama

Alors que le sixième round des négociations secrètes sur l'Accord Commercial Anti-Contrefaçon s'est terminé hier à Séoul, en Corée du Sud, des documents confidentiels rédigés par la direction générale du commerce de la Commission européenne se sont retrouvés sur Internet. Selon Wired, qui se fait également l'écho de cette information, c'est d'abord sur Wikileaks qu'est apparu ce fichier (pdf) daté du 30 octobre dernier et composé de trois pages. Michael Geist, le professeur de droit qui a révélé en début de semaine les principaux axes du traité sur son blog, a indiqué hier que ce document contient des informations qui ont nourri sa réflexion lors de ses précédentes interventions sur le sujet. http://www.numerama.com/magazine/14440-acta-des-documents-confidentiels-diffuses-sur-internet.html

Generally this is much better in terms of functionality than what Microsoft is offering. Testing, when various application is simultaneously running on MS-XP, prove that it is light on memory and does not cause any significant throttling. Clicking a date will show you some "screen tips". However, it so happen that I come across this apps today March 5, 2010. I click March 4, and it says that March 4 is Easter, which I greatly believe to be wrong. Click February 4 says that it is the beginning of spring which again I believe to be wrong.
