BackTrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner's Guide
Posted on 15 September 2011. Wireless technologies are inherently insecure and can be easily broken. BackTrack is a penetration testing and security auditing distribution that comes with a myriad of wireless networking tools used to simulate network attacks and detect security loopholes. Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner’s Guide will teach you various wireless testing methodologies taught using live examples, which you will implement throughout this book.
Protect The Stuff - Why You Need Norton
Your passwords, files, contacts, and financial info. It's your Stuff and it's worth protecting from viruses, damage and people who want to steal it. You store a lot of important Stuff on your mobile device - email, contacts, photos and more. But bad stuff happens - your device can get lost, even stolen. Your digital photos, music and other important files are more than data, they're your memories and hard work. Protect your Stuff from bad stuff that can happen, like spilled coffee, a computer crash, or sometimes both.
Microsoft publishes a range of free security-related software. One of the best-known is Security Essentials, the excellent antivirus/antimalware product which was recently updated to version 2.0. Many of the other products in the collection are aimed primarily at large business customers, and are not of general interest to anyone else. But of the handful of exceptions, MBSA has always stood out for me. MBSA is the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.

In addition to developers, DOM Snitch is also aimed at code testers and security researchers, the company said. The tool displays DOM (document object model) modifications in real time so developers don't have to pause the application to run a debugging tool, according to Google. DOM Snitch also lets developers export reports so they can be shared with others involved in developing and refining the application, Google said. Google is working on DOM Snitch and on server-side code testing tools such as Skipfish and Ratproxy because it believes that the number of security holes in Web applications is growing along with their overall sophistication and complexity.

Making it only hidden is not the best way to hide an important file since it can be accessed by using powerful 3rd party search tools. Why not hide the file inside a calculator?

How to defeat a keylogger
Posted on July 27, 2008 at 5:34 am Keyloggers, an abbreviation for Keystroke Loggers, are a rather nasty tool used by hackers to invade your privacy. This tool can secretly capture all the keystrokes you make, every single mouse click, and virtually everything you do on the computer, which, when you think about it, is very scary. But keyloggers aren’t all bad – if you type ‘ Keyloggers’ into Google, you’ll get hundreds of perfectly legitimate keyloggers, which aren’t made to be used as a hacking tool.
Running Snort Under Windows
Snort is an open source intrusion detection/prevention system created by Martin "Marty" Roesch, founder of Sourcefire. It is capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and logging. It is the most widely used IDS/IPS system. It can monitor for, detect and respond to various attack strategies by using signature, protocol and anomaly-based inspection techniques. Many security tools run primarily on Linux/Unix (*nix) platforms.Scapy
Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tethereal, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can't handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel, ...), etc.Product Watch: New Tool Automatically Examines Suspicious Code In Memory - Dark Reading
HBGary today rolled out a new version of its malware analysis tool that speeds up the analysis of all code in memory -- including malware. The new HBGary Responder Professional 2.0 gets information on malware directly from memory rather than the operating system. "Within five minutes, HBGary Responder Professional 2.0 analyzed the malware behavior in the Operation Aurora attack to identify registry keys, IP addresses, suspicious runtime behavior, and other critical data," says Greg Hoglund, founder and CEO of HBGary. An antivirus signature can take days or weeks to create, according to Hoglund.Hackers exploit security vulnerabilities in popular web software such as blogs, forums, CMS, image galleries and wikis to insert hidden illicit content into web pages of innocent third-party web sites.
Website Security Check - Unmask Parasites
Since the beginning of the media frenzy over CarrierIQ, I have repeatedly stated that based on my knowledge of the software, claims that keystrokes, SMS bodies, email bodies, and other data of this nature are being collected are erroneous. I have also stated that to satisfy users, it’s important that there be increased visibility into what data is actually being collected on these devices. This post represents my findings on how CarrierIQ works, and what data it is capable of collecting. There has been a lot of misinformation about which parties are responsible for which aspects of data collection.

Occasionally an appliction cannot be removed by using “Add/Remove Programs” under the control panel and you have to delete it manually. However, sometimes the entry for the appliction still remains in the installed programs list even though the program is no longer on your computer. This is where Add Remove Programs Cleaner comes in.
