Opera 10.5 Beta 1 Faster than Chrome 4

Benchmark Results by Betanews

Opera team released a new version of my favorite browser opera (Opera 10.5 beta 1). I really love the new GUI it's  simple and beautiful. Yes, there is some similarity between the look & feel of opera 10.5 and Google chrome but to me opera looks more elegant.

The benchmarks that i saw today says that Opera 10.5 beta 1  is the fastest browser it's even faster than chrome v5 dev version. here is a short list of what's new in Opera 10.5 beta 1

1- Redesigned interface (much better than opera 10.1)
2- HTML 5 + CSS 3 support
3- Private browsing
4- Much Much faster JavaScript engine
5- Smother graphic rendering

You can download it and try it from here ( http://www.opera.com/browser/next/) just rememeber it's a beta version so don't expect it to be bug free. Currently, Opera 10.5 beta 1 only available for windows platform.

Side Note: Sorry for the podcast delay i'm really really sorry but i'm busy with projects that I'm comittieted to deliver on time so it's taking all my time for now the minute I have a space to breath I promise you that I will release the first episode of whatiknow podcast :) . Thank you for your understanding.

Soon: Whatiknow.net Podcast

Ok I’m planning with my friend Gavin to release a podcast on weekly bases or monthly bases still not decided yet but the idea will see the light very soon I promise.  The podcast in general will be about technology but some episodes will be more about risk management & information security.

Of course during the podcast we will have some amazing knowledgeable guests :) so stay tuned.

DFI hybrid mobo runs 2 systems simultaneously!

These days, the word "hybrid" gets tossed around like a rag doll. We've got hybrid cars, hybrid SLI and hybrid image stabilization -- and that's just for starters. But friends, this hybrid is one worth paying attention to. DFI has been working overtime in order to concoct the next great mainboard, and if this thing can really deliver as advertised, we'd say the gurus responsible for it will succeed greatly. The Hybrid P45-ION-T2A2 motherboard can actually house a complete Atom / Ion-based system on one side, while handling a traditional Socket 775 CPU system on the other. In other words, this single motherboard can power -- let's say -- a low-power server system and your next gaming setup. At the same time! We're still waiting on a firm release date and price, but 'til then, hop on past the break for a swell demonstration vid.

Charlie Miller: Snow Leopard is not as secure as Windows Vista/7

Snow Leopard lacks security features that are built in to Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, a noted Mac researcher has said. Dubbed ASLR, for address space layout randomization, the technology randomly assigns data to memory to make it tougher for attackers to determine the location of critical operating system functions, and thus make it harder for them to craft reliable exploits.
"Apple didn't change anything," said Charlie Miller, of Baltimore-based Independent Security Evaluators, the co-author of The Mac Hacker's Handbook, and winner of two consecutive "Pwn2own" hacker contests. "It's the exact same ASLR as in Leopard, which means it's not very good."

Remote 0day Exploit for Vista, 2008 in the Wilde

There is a flaw in SMB2.0 which exists (I mean the SMBv2 itself not the vulnerability) in windows vista, 2008,7 and 2008 R2 but only Windows Vista & 2008 are vulnerable. If you exploited this flaw successfully you will crash & reboot any vista or 2008 remotely (of course only if SMB 445 port open :) ). Anyhow here is the exploit code it's written in python :) & I will assume that you know what to do with it :)

# SecurityReason Note :
# Tested on : Windows Vista SP2 full updated - US-en
#
#!/usr/bin/python
# When SMB2.0 recieve a "&" char in the "Process Id High" header field it
dies with a
# PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA B.S.O.D
