According to the sources  Microsoft’s Windows 8 second Milestone build has been finalized, with Milestone 3 the next to be worked on. After that stage it’s only a matter of time before we see a beta of Windows 8 in testing.

Claiming revenge for an "illegitimate firing," someone has posted screenshots and other data, apparently showing that he was able to break a 200 megawat wind turbine system owned by NextEra Energy Resources, a subsidiary of Florida Power & Light.

The data was posted to the Full Disclossure security mailing list Saturday anonymously, by someone using the name "Bgr R." In the post, he (or she) wrote, "Here comes my revenge for illegitimate firing from Florida Power & Light Company... ain't nothing you can do with it, since your electricity is turned off !!!"

In an e-mail interview, Bgr R said he's a former employee who ... Read more »

AOL Corporation has always been a kind of honey pie for all possible kinds of hackers. Millions of AIM, AOL Mail and ICQ registered users, hundreds of offices all around the world, one billion advertising market and other stuff you can check out directly from the aol.com home page, which enters the Top 50 websites attendance list all around the internet.

Looking at all this magnificence you won’t be surprised that one day I’ve forwarded my XSpider 7.7 to one of the AOL networks in the range of 64.12.0.0 - 64.12.255.255. So here's how the things turned out...

Lately, I see more and more vulnerable government web sites. And the reason is banal: government web sites are charged to be written by non-professionals, or the website is not being moderated and support team does not check emails, etc. Security audit is considered as some kind of luxury service when, in fact, it is a necessity as well as the key to success of website users.

The purpose of this hack is not getting some profit or benefit from the uploaded shell. I want to show how vulnerable the highest level web sites can be. It would seem that protecting them should be the #1 task, because it’s not difficult to imagine what entails hacking the government web site. What if I break into the LAN and get the access to the server which stores some secret information, such as external independent testing results (in case of MES web site)? What then? The authenticity of those certificates which are required by every institution of higher education can be called into que ... Read more »

Admit that "Wireless Internet in every home" is a very attractive slogan. It sounds great when your ISP, which granted a dial-up access 5 years ago, deploys a big WiFi infrastructure throughout the whole city (or at least in its center) just in a few days. It would sound like a fools dream came true and now you can enjoy fast internet connection while sitting in McDonald's and mopping up another macfresh. But when you look closer you realize that it can’t happen all that way because ISP (and all its customers thereafter) information security leaves a lot to be desired. In order not to make unsubstantiated statements I suggest your attention a case of an informal audit of the newly born wireless network and who knows, maybe you will realize its credibility having bitter experience with your provider.

Let’s agree in advance: in order to observe etiquette and not to embarrass my ISP, I will not name specific sites and brands. Moreover, the law was not vio ... 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 mathematics, but not hacking. It just looks like there aren’t. You will rebel: "What do you mean there aren’t? What about those shareware programs or any web-resource. There are so much of them. They are great hackers’ "playgrounds”, aren’t they? ". You know, that is an option, anyway ... Read more »
