Ask for song title...

tan_pang — Sun, 16 May 2010 21:09:20 +0800

Title description referring to this event: http://www.everyday.com.my/promotion/2010/...romo-2010.shtml

I'm not interested to the event, but interested to the song/album they playing.

It is a song that is like A Cappella, a girl singing, with violin pizz (plucking the string with a finger of the right hand rather than by bowing.) throughout the whole song, not sure about the lyric (doesn't sounds like English when in chorus).

Topic will close after I got the correct answer. Thank you

Milw0rm to Shut Down

Milw0rm to Shut Down
Admin doesn't have the necessary time anymore

One of the major sources of proof of concept (PoC) exploits on the Internet, milw0rm.com, will be closing down. The website's maintainer, str0ke, announces that he can't commit anymore to reviewing exploits submitted by third-parties, in a timely manner.

While this is sad news for people familiar with the exploit release scene, as well as a fair amount of script kiddies by some accounts, it might not mean much for the uninitiated without some background history.

Milw0rm was originally the name of a group of hackers with members from various parts around the globe that communicated with each other over IRC (Internet Relay Chat). The outfit went on to achieve international fame after it took credit for compromising the computer network of India's Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Bombay and gaining administrative access (root) on multiple systems during the night of June 3, 1998.

The hackers walked off with confidential emails and classified documents about nuclear tests, amounting to around five megabytes. The first news outlet to break out the story at the time was Wired, which the collective contacted with proof of their feat.

The reasons behind the attack were mostly political in nature. The group's members, who were still teenagers at the time, wanted to show their disapproval over the development and testing of atomic weapons, making this pretty clear by defacing the BARC home page and posting pacifist messages.

"I like the world in its current state (i guess), well its better than the world would be if the b0mb went b00m. think about it k1dz, its not clever, its not big, so don't think destruction is cool, coz its not […] So India, LISTEN TO WISE OLD MILWORM ... You do not need nuclear weapons in the 1990s!#@!" a part of the message, which was signed by JF, VeNoMouS, Hamst0r, Keystroke, savec0re and ExtreemUK, read.

The group disbanded soon after this high-profile hack, or at least its members stopped being hacktivists. Several years later, in 2004, Keystroke, who is, today, better known as str0ke, went on to set up milw0rm.com as a place to publish PoC exploits, with the consent of some of his former comrades.

In order to ensure a high quality for the published content, str0ke personally verified and tested all exploits submitted by other hackers, something that, unfortunately, he can no longer do. "Well, this is my goodbye header for milw0rm. I wish I had the time I did in the past to post exploits, I just don't," a message from str0ke displayed on the home page reads.

He goes on to explain that, "For the past 3 months I have actually done a pretty crappy job of getting peoples work out fast enough to be proud of, 0 to 72 hours (taking off weekends) isn't fair to the authors on this site." Finally, the hacker extends his thanks to everyone who contributed to the website. "I appreciate and thank everyone for their support in the past. Be safe, /str0ke," he signs off.

The footer on milw0rm now informs visitors that, "Submissions are closed."

[Networking Tech Support] in [Technical Support]

tan_pang — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:51:29 +0800

Saw many people posting Networking problem in Technical Support, therefore have this kind of suggestion...
Can Technical Support have a "subforum" that will redirect to "Networking Tech Support"??
This is just like "GC Garage Sales" which under "Girl's Club" that will redirect to "Stuff For The Ladies"...

The Storm Worm

tan_pang — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 15:17:46 +0800

Alert for everybody......

QUOTE

The Storm Worm

The Storm worm first appeared at the beginning of the year, hiding in e-mail attachments with the subject line: "230 dead as storm batters Europe." Those who opened the attachment became infected, their computers joining an ever-growing botnet.

Although it's most commonly called a worm, Storm is really more: a worm, a Trojan horse and a bot all rolled into one. It's also the most successful example we have of a new breed of worm, and I've seen estimates that between 1 million and 50 million computers have been infected worldwide.

QUOTE

Since early July the Storm Trojan has been the most active attack that we have seen in a couple years on the net. Is it a worm? A Trojan? A Bot? A spam agent? The answer is "All of the above"!

WE PREFER TO CALL STORM AN ATTACK

Some reasons we believe the Storm attack is significant are:

* It is very widespread and appeared to have infected literally hundreds of thousands if not millions of users
* It is sophisticated (has some polymorphism attributes)
* Traditional firewalls and signature based methods are not being affective in preventing it
* The attack infrastructure is very resilient and difficult to take down (FFlux DNS, moving targets, lots of name servers, etc).
* The sheer number of machines that have the capability to perform a DDOS at the instant of the operators command
* The massive amount of email lures and spam it is spewing out
* The profit motive on pump and dump stock scams
* It was very well planned out and orchestrated

Websense(R) Security Labs(tm) has received several reports of a new Web site that is being distributed in spam sent out by those running the Storm attacks.

This site poses as a new piece of software called "Krackin v1.2" and advertises:

* Easy to install
* Auto-Virus scanning
* Mobile Source Downloading
* IP Blocking to Prevent Tracking
* Unwanted User Blocking

A very nasty infection, and this maybe the new trend of malware......
