Apple Iphone 4 hardware hacked!

Finally the Iphone 4 hardware got hacked and is now open for everyone.
Apple used an 256-Bit key to encrypt any data stored on the phone, GPS-Data, Usernames and passwords, phonebook entries, messages, etc... and all other related user data that is stored on the phone.

This new revealed hack now allows us to do a Backup of an apple iphone 4 and also decrypt this backup to get the data out of this solid box.

As they claim Russian company ElcomSoft has done this hack first and created an easy to use software for everyone. ElcomSoft

An sheet here shows what is possible with the light and the full edition of this software:

ElcomSoft offer this iOS 4 forensic toolkit to security and law enforcement agencies, but anyone can purchase the software to extract the encrypted data on a device.

Sony playstation network hacked again!

Not so much time has passed and the PSN (Sony Playstation Network) got hacked again, only 48 hours after the playstation etwork got relaunched and was up again a new security hole was found and missused.

Maybe the same hackers are involved as on playstation networks first take down.
The new security hole is described as follows:

You can use the forget your password button on the PSN to retrieve a new password, the clue is to get a new passwort you only have to enter 2 criterias, your Name and your date of birth. So long if the crew that hacked it before is after this security hole again they already got all datas from every user of the PSN so they know their name and also their date of birth.

In most parts of the world sony has now taken down the feature to change your users password to get rid of this failure, but it seems they handle this real filthy :) i think if sony gets another hit in its face it has to capitulate!

Though the hackers have not been captured at all, also the FBI is after them - it seems they handle this quite smart :)

UPC Austria must block Kino.to

The Internet Service Provider UPC Austria, one of the fastest ISP's in Austria is forced to shut down DNS entries for kino.to so nobody from Austria whos ISP is UPC will be able to "find" stream movies anymore that were linked from Kino.to.

So long if you want ot watch Kino.to movies in the future, you should just look up wikipedia and check out what an Domain Name Service does and what it is - after you checked that just google the following:

After that your are on the safe side!

for everyone else who dont want to use this alternative, try to check out g-stream . in 

KEEP IT GOING FOLKS, have a nice day :)

Bing and Baidu vs Google!

Newest rumours around the chinese press release that there will be an fusion between Microsoft s bing and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C., Credit Suisse First Boston s baidu!

This would look like this:

 

The Problem that comes with this new message, google will be cut off the Asian / Chinese market if this fusion will be a good coorporation. The big thing that comes up here, censorship -> google was censored by chinese government a few times in the past, so in future "baiding" will be an strong powerfull ... censored ... Meta Crawler ;)

Have a nice day Folks!

Prey!

Hello guys, back after the long off-time of Blogger.com.

Today i read about an interesting open source software that could be interesting for everyone.
An interesting scenario took its place in New York/Canada

The SEO-Expert Sean Power was currently in Canada as somebody in Soho turned on his notebook what got stolen a few days ago.
So Sean is a user of the Powerfull Open-Source tool Prey.

Any mobile phone with open-source software running on could get in use of prey.


By the way, Sean got his notebook back, he ordered someone on twitter to get to the place his notebook was last spottet by prey. The police officers of New York dont mentioned to help him, cause he has not reported early enough that it got stolen.

Twitter could be real usefull in the future though as we see in this case  ;)
