Technology Review: Mapping the Malicious Web - 1 views

  • Now a researcher at Websense, a security firm based in San Diego, has developed a way to monitor such malicious activity automatically. Speaking at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco last week, Stephan Chenette, a principal security researcher at Websense, detailed an experimental system that crawls the Web, identifying the source of content embedded in Web pages and determining whether any code on a site is acting maliciously. Chenette's software, called FireShark, creates a map of interconnected websites and highlights potentially malicious content. Every day, the software maps the connections between nearly a million websites and the servers that provide content to those sites. "When you graph multiple sites, you can see their communities of content," Chenette says. While some of the content hubs that connect different communities could be legitimate--such as the servers that provide ads to many different sites--other sources of content could indicate that an attacker is serving up malicious code, he says. According to a study published by Websense, online attackers' use of legitimate sites to spread malicious software has increased 225 percent over the past year.

    Over the past couple of years, cybercriminals have increasingly focused on finding ways to inject malicious code into legitimate websites. Typically they've done this by embedding code in an editable part of a page and using this code to serve up harmful content from another part of the Web. But this activity can be difficult to spot because websites also increasingly pull in legitimate content, such as ads, videos, or snippets of code, from outside sites.

Wi-Reach Turns 3G Dongles into Wi-Fi Hotspots | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - 4 views

  • The Wi-Reach 3G Personal Hotspot doesn’t even require that you pull the SIM card from your existing USB modem. The plastic box, which resembles a battery charger, has a USB port inside into which you slot your stick. From there, it takes the EVDO or HSPA modem’s connection and turns it into an 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi hotspot, powered by a lithium-ion battery for up to five hours (or powered via its mini-USB port). It’ll even work with 4G dongles when they start to show up.

Buffalo VHS converter cable - 0 views

  •  
    despite the bad translation, this is actually going to be very handy. Buffalo has introduced an analog to digital cable converter that will connect your VCR to a USB port, and allow you to directly transfer VHS tapes into Digital format with it's own embedded software. Funny, because I was just looking at all the old VHS tapes we've accumulated and was thinking about the nightmare of conversion.
