Why You Should Start Using a VPN (and How to Choose the Best One for Your Needs)

http://lifehacker.com/5940565/why-you-should-start-using-a-vpn-and-how-to-choose-the-best-one-for-your-needs You may know what a VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is; you probably don't use one.
Of all the great DIY projects at this year's Maker Faire , the one project that really caught my eye involved converting a regular old $60 router into a powerful, highly configurable $600 router. The router has an interesting history , but all you really need to know is that the special sauce lies in embedding Linux in your router. I found this project especially attractive because: 1) It's easy, and 2) it's totally free.

Note: This post demonstrates how to crack WEP passwords, an older and less often used network security protocol. If the network you want to crack is using the more popular WPA encryption, see our guide to cracking a Wi-Fi network's WPA password with Reaver instead. Today we're going to run down, step-by-step, how to crack a Wi-Fi network with WEP security turned on.

La France prépare un projet de loi sur la cybersécurité des entreprises "vitales"

Le gouvernement français prépare un projet de loi sur la cybersécurité des "opérateurs d'importance vitale" , ces quelque 1 000 établissements, ministères, grandes entreprises des télécoms, de l'énergie ou de l'alimentation, mais aussi banques ou centres de transports , sans qui le pays ne pourrait plus fonctionner . Ces acteurs économiques devront à l' avenir signaler les attaques qu'ils subissent et renforcer leurs mesures de protection, selon des normes que l'Etat pourra contrôler, y compris dans le secteur privé. "Nous avons depuis quatre ou cinq ans une multiplication des attaques d'espionnage ; depuis un an nous assistons à des actions de sabotage d'origine étatique comme en a été victime la compagnie pétrolière saoudienne Aramco [à l'été 2012] , c'est un risque qui n'a pas cessé de croître" , analyse-t-on au gouvernement.

Defense contractor pwned for years by Chinese hackers

QinetiQ , a UK-based defense contractor, has its fingers all over some of the US Defense Department's most sensitive systems. The company's subsidiaries provide robots, diagnostic systems, intelligence systems for satellites, drones, and even "cyber-security" to the US Department of Defense. The parent company, which was created as a privatized spinoff of the British Defense Evaluation and Research Agency—what was the UK's equivalent of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—is often cited as the inspiration for James Bond's "Q."
