The "Kraken" - a botnet bigger than Storm

Researchers from security company Damballa have reported at the RSA Conference on a relatively recent botnet by the name of Kraken. Its 400,000 bots make it twice the size of the Storm botnet. It is thought to have already infected computers in 50 of the Fortune 500 companies.

The malware that has infected these computers apparently arrives in disguised as an image file. It uses obfuscation tactics to avoid detection by antivirus software and it regularly updates its binary code. The bots communicate with the Command and Control (C&C) server via customized UDP- and TCP-based protocols and can generate new domain names if a C&C server is disabled. The payload itself is encrypted, say the Damballa experts.

Možda se problem spamera može riješiti i efikasnije, treba ih "preraditi"… možda ovako…

Ali to je sasvim normalno kad ljudi koriste windozere. Čisto sumnjam da je puno od tih zaraženih kompjutera na Linuxu. He…

Swiss schools boot (out) Windows
The hills are alive with the sound of Linux
FROM SEPTEMBER this year 9,000 computers in Swiss state schools will pull the plug on dual boot capability.
The computers which have up until now been running Windows as well as Ubuntu will forever be free from Microsoft when they become Linux boxes.

Uskoro će biti potpuno svejedno što vrtite na svom kompu, sve što vam treba će biti browser… bilo koji browser… evo malo sam se poigrao sa Photoshop Expressom, super mi izgleda jedino nisam nigdje našao opciju (ma garant je negdje) da smanjim fotku. Blesavo, resizing je prvo što moram napraviti sa fotkom. Ali prekratko sam se igrao, možda nisam skužio gdje je opcija.

Evo, dolazi Hrvatska u Europsku uniju… haha… a kad uđemo…

Da, sve online i sve na bilo kojem kompu ali uz uvijet da nema Crnih Rupa na Internetu. Stvarno, da li ste se pitali zašto se ponekad desi da neku stranicu ne možete otvoriti i da li je to baš uvijek zbog pada servera na kojm se stranica vrti…

Why Is The Internet Sometimes So Slow? Internet ‘Black Holes’ May Be To Blame
ScienceDaily (Apr. 8, 2008) — You’re trying to log on to a Web site and it’s not working. You try again and again. But persistence doesn’t pay off. The site you want is inexplicably, frustratingly, out of reach.
The other computer might just be turned off, but the causes could be more mysterious. At any given moment, a proportion of computer traffic ends up being routed into information black holes. These are situations where a path between two computers does exist, but messages — a request to visit a Web site, an outgoing e-mail — get lost along the way.
A University of Washington system named Hubble looks for these black holes and maps them on a Web site, providing an ever-changing constellation of the Internet’s weak points.

Što je ništa u usporedbi sa crnim rupama u kojima nestaje lova iz državnog proračuna, naša lova. Ali gle, sa našim političarima se ionako možemo samo prijaviti u neki BiGBrother, za drugo nisu. Možda za "Farmu" na Novoj…

Blago nama s našim političarima, sve što su napravili u Saboru od proglašeja države bi stalo na jedan USB stick… recimo PICO-A

Ovaj je 1GB ali dečki vele da su napravili i 8GB stick. Huh, to stane sve što su napravili naši političari skupa sa sabranim djelima Georga Busha.
