RawCap sniffer for Windows released We are today proude to announce the release of RawCap, which is a free raw sockets sniffer for Windows. Here are some highlights of why RawCap is a great tool to have in your toolset: Usage RawCap takes two arguments; the first argument is the IP address or interface number to sniff from, the second is the path/file to write the captured packets to. RawCap comes in very handy for incident responders who want to be able to sniff network traffic locally at the clients of the corporate network. Here are a few examples of how RawCap can be used for incident response:

Namespaces, Classes, Modules and Mixins define a clean, simple API for defining your application's architecture with compiler-checked rigor. Namespaces are declarative and self-instantiating, reporting conflicts and invalid architectures; Classes, Modules & Mixins let you quickly design a flexible, inheritance based & compiler verified architecture. Type Testing allows you to define computational constraints which are optionally validated by the runtime. Restrict unintended or unspecified usage of your API, prevent invalid, undefined or NaN values from propagating into your data model & obscuring debugging, test that your application is accessing each interface the way you intended.

For those interested in alternative internet infrastructures, I’ve been assembling a list of projects and initiatives working to build mesh network solutions, as well as communities and resources around this topic. I’ve also posted this on Quora . Please feel free to add any projects I’ve missed. We’re hoping to understand the landscape of this initiative and how these projects & communities can better coordinate their efforts, in preparation for the Contact Conference in NYC this October 20, 2011. - Digitata.org - develop an inexpensive infrastructure (low bandwidth internet terminals) for basic internet exposure to children in African countries - Netsukuku – an ad-hoc netowork that uses only WiFi connectivity and a specifically-built adddress system that allows direct communications between machines without resorting to the HTTP protocol

The Metasploit Framework makes discovering, exploiting, and sharing vulnerabilities quick and relatively painless. But while Metasploit is used by security professionals everywhere, the tool can be hard to grasp for first-time users. Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide fills this gap by teaching you how to harness the Framework and interact with the vibrant community of Metasploit contributors.

Cygwin
a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, with the exception of Windows CE and Windows NT4. Note that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin release number.

It's time for an updated guide to protecting your data on Facebook. Here's how to turn Face Recognition off, and make your profile as safe as you'd like it to be. Facebook seems to be forever pushing the boundaries of what "online privacy" means. Today we see the latest iteration of this --Face Recognition. By adjusting its interface, Facebook has now enabled "tag suggestions" to many more of its users around the world, which means your friends will get an alert if someone uploads a photo that Facebook thinks contains your image. They'll be invited to tag it, and then your ID's associated with that image.

Facebook is watching you
Des études mentionnées dans The Guardian Weekly en mars 2009 ( 1 ) suggèrent qu’un quart des habitants du Royaume-Uni souffrent d’une forme de paranoïa. L’accroissement de la maladie aurait quelque chose à voir avec les effets conjugués de l’urbanisation, de la mondialisation, des migrations, des médias et de la disparité des richesses. La logique voudrait par conséquent que la proportion de ceux qui parmi nous souffrent de paranoïa augmente à mesure que nous nous dirigeons vers une forme complexe de surveillance, rendue possible par l’utilisation généralisée des « réseaux sociaux » comme Facebook. Et, ainsi que nos propres recherches en Suède et d’autres études le montrent, nous sommes nombreux à prendre part à ce nouveau genre de contrôle sur une base volontaire, souvent sans être conscients de son ampleur.

Zuckers! Facebook Has Secretly Been Giving User Info to Cops - Technology - GOOD
We've told you before that Facebook treats its users like products . That companies now exist to search for your Facebook account and tell your bosses your secrets. That people are quitting Facebook en masse . Now, there's yet another reason you might want to make the switch to Google+: Facebook has gotten into the habit of allowing police to scour users' profiles without their consent.Exploit Search Engine - [facebook]
The Facebook Photo Uploader ActiveX control (ImageUploader4.1.ocx) is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page that passes overly long FileMask property value, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim or cause the victim's browser to crash.
