NEW YORK Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the reconstruction of the World Trade Centre shows the city has finally turned the corner from the trauma of September 11, 2001.

Speaking five days before the 10th anniversary of the attacks, the mayor described lower Manhattan's resurrection as ''one of the greatest comeback stories in American history''.

Predictions that New York couldn't recover from the impact of the attacks had been proved wrong, he said.

There's an old saying, "If you can't beat them, join them." For many managers and senior executives, the new version may be "If you can't beat them, hire them." Several hackers, known for their skills in finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities in commercial products, have been hired by some of the biggest names in the business to redirect their talents and energy. Facebook is famous for its all-night coding marathons called "hackathons," and the company proudly displays a sign "Hack" outside its corporate headquarters. While plenty of hackers go on to start up their own security consulting companies, many go ahead and accept those job offers in government, nonprofit and the private sector. There are estimates that one in four hackers online may be emp ... Read more »

Have you ever thought about legal hacking? Is it possible to do the things you love and pump your pentesting skills without breaking the law? Where is it safe to try out some injections and run experiments with web-exploits, without thinking of your VPN is enabled or not? How to test your hackers’ knowledge, starting the path from a scripts’ bug to the very system root? You know… There is the way!

We are often asked the same question: "How to learn hacking?". The answer is simple: study it just like any other subject. At first, you need to deeply and thoughtfully study the theory and only then proceed to practice. The only difference is that there are a lot of books fully ready for studying ... Read more »

Salute, my dear admirer of the Backstreet Boys band! Today I will tell you an interesting story about how backstreetboys.com, myspace.com/backstreetboys, and also the twitter.com/backstreetboys (the main network resources of your favorite band) had capitulated like a house on fire, with no fight. It all started with the fact that one day the notorious column editor alluded to continue the theme of hacking the well-regarded foreign celebrities. You know, right at that time the simple "Everybody" song was just running in my head.

Who is who

Of course, we begin our excavations with studying the http://backstreetboys.com site. The resource is a simple flash start page with a band photo on it and ... Read more »

Implementation: first annoying troubles

I was very surprised and upset when I learned that great and mighty .NET Framework is completely released from the ability of easy web camera interaction. In .NET v4 the situation has got a bit better (SilverLight-projects got some relevant classes), but I didn’t have enough time to test it, because I began writing some code examples for this article before VS2010 and .NET v4 official release.

Almost desperate, I have tightly ensconced myself in Google. All I fou ... Read more »
