Search Google anonymously while staying logged in to your account in Firefox One of the things that keeps some users from using Google Search is the certainty that everything that is done on the site is being logged and analyzed by Google. While it is possible to overcome this, for instance by launching searches only in the browser's private browsing mode, or using search engines such as Startpage that use Google search results but do not track you, you may prefer an automated solution that just works in the background without you doing anything. You could try and use Google while you are not signed in to your Google Account, but that too means some form of tracking as there are other means besides tracking a user by account. Plus, it means that you cannot use other Google Services such as Gmail properly without signing in first again. Another option would be to use two different web browsers, one for Google searches, the other for all other activities. The new Firefox add-on Searchonymous introduces a solution that resolves this issue.

Root in Under Five Article at HellBound Hackers Hey everyone. This article is about hacking schools. Since any longer than five minutes, you risk getting caught, this is *hopefully* going to teach you how to get root in five minutes or less. So, lets get started. * Dedicated to H4xguy * To those of you that think by getting root, you own the school, sorry to disapoint you. Your first step is to try and get access to DOS. Code \"start>all programs>accessories>cmd\" or \"start>run> type in \'cmd\'\" If neither of those work, create a new text document. If that didn\'t work, instead of typing \"cmd\", type @echo off echo hello pause Open it, if you see \"hello\", create a new text document and name it \"anything.reg\", right click and edit. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesWinOldApp] \"Disabled\"=dword:0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem] \"DisableRegistryTools\"=dword:0 This changes the registry value that blocks dos. Another way to get dos, is to create a prog.

How to Install Aircrack on Mac in 3 Easy Steps Installing Aircrack-ng can be a little confusing if you don't understand the lingo. Let me guide you trough those steps and you'll have Aircrack running natively in no time and almost no effort. Why Use Aircrack? Aircrack-ng is about up to 5 to 10 times faster than KisMAC when it comes to cracking WPA or WEP password. KisMAC has an old Aircrack Engine and, honestly, it needs an update... Aircrack-ng 1.1 churns about 1500 "WPA" keys per Second, or about 360 Passphrase/second when KisMAC is left behind at 160/Sec on a dual core. Aircrack-ng can recover keys for WEP and WPA. Yes, it's 1,576,213 PMK/S. Back to Aircrack: On WEP, the difference is extremely noticeable, especially on low IV's captures. For Airport users, once decrypted, you have to enter the key without semicolons and space. If you are not familiar with the lingo, or wonder what does what, I would suggest reading the FAQ first.

Red alert: HTTPS has been hacked | Security September 26, 2011 Follow @rogeragrimes Only a handful of exploits per decade reveal a vulnerability that is truly significant. Thai Duong and Juliano Rizzo's BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack will rank among them because it compromises the SSL and TLS browser connections hundreds of millions of people rely on every day. BEAST cannot break the latest version of TLS -- the current standard based on SSL -- but most browsers and nearly all websites that support secure connections rely on earlier versions of the SSL and TLS protocols, which are vulnerable to BEAST attack. The BEAST tool, presented last Friday at the 2011 Ekoparty Security Conference in Argentina, made real a theoretical SSL/TLS vulnerability first documented 10 years ago. MitM attacks are fairly easy to do when the attacker and victim are located on the same local network (such as wireless networks, VPNs, or corporate LANs).

Researchers: Password Crack Could Affect Millions - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership IDG News Service — A well-known cryptographic attack could be used by hackers to log into Web applications used by millions of users, according to two security experts who plan to discuss the issue at an upcoming security conference. Researchers Nate Lawson and Taylor Nelson say they've discovered a basic security flaw that affects dozens of open-source software libraries -- including those used by software that implements the OAuth and OpenID standards -- that are used to check passwords and user names when people log into websites. OAuth and OpenID authentication are accepted by popular Web sites such as Twitter and Digg. They found that some versions of these login systems are vulnerable to what's known as a timing attack. Cryptographers have known about timing attacks for 25 years, but they are generally thought to be very hard to pull off over a network. The researchers aim to show that's not the case.

How Your Username May Betray You By creating a distinctive username—and reusing it on multiple websites—you may be giving online marketers and scammers a simple way to track you. Four researchers from the French National Institute of Computer Science (INRIA) studied over 10 million usernames—collected from public Google profiles, eBay accounts, and several other sources. They found that about half of the usernames used on one site could be linked to another online profile, potentially allowing marketers and scammers to build a more complex picture of the users. “These results show that some users can be profiled just from their usernames,” says Claude Castelluccia, research director of the security and privacy research group at INRIA, and one of the authors of a paper on the work. “More specifically, a profiler could use usernames to identify all the site [profiles] that belong to the same user, and then use all the information contained in these sites to profile the victim.”
