camerahacking :: View topic - 640×480 @ 30fps mode

Corscaria from CameraHacking.com has found a simple way of turning our precious CVS Camcorders from a blah 320×240 recorder, to a “eh decent” 640×480@30fps recorder!!!

Great work Corscaria!

HAHAHA These are pretty funny..

Download details: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for and helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%\debug folder.

Thanks MS! Now updated to remove

McAfee Inc.

Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.

McAfee has FINALLY updated stinger, yes ladies and gentlemen, it cleans Rbot.CBQ!

WORM_RBOT.CBQ - Description and solution

This memory-resident worm drops a copy of itself in the Windows system folder as the file WINTBP.EXE.

It takes advantage of the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play vulnerability to propagate across networks. For more information regarding this vulnerability, refer to the following Microsoft Web page:

McAfee Inc.

This worm exploits the MS05-039 vulnerability. There are at least 2 other W32/Sdbot based worms know to exist that also exploit this vulnerability. They may be seen with the filenames pnpsrv.exe or winpnp.exe.
See http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_135434.htm

This self-executing worm spreads by exploiting Windows2000 MS05-039 vulnerable systems in order to instruct those systems to download and execute the worm.

On Demand Scans may detect this threat as New Malware.n with the 4451 DAT files or newer.

VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i and Managed VirusScan’s generic buffer overflow protection protects against code execution that may result from.

This worm creates 16 threads to scan for infectable systems. The worm targets random class B IP addresses, sending SYN packets to TCP Port 445. When a vulnerable system is found, buffer overflow and shellcode is sent to the remote system, creating an FTP script (2pac.txt is the script file name) and launching FTP.EXE to download and execute the worm from the source system (via TCP port 33333, haha.exe is fetched).

Zotob.A modifies system hosts file in order to disable access to certain sites. Following hostnames are redirected to localhost IP address (127.0.0.1): and on the last line gives a threat to the AV companies:

Botzor2005 Made By …. Greetz to good friend Coder. Based On HellBot3
MSG to avs: the first av who detect this worm will be the first killed in the next 24hours!!!

Whats crazy is if you find an infected box, you can telnet to 8888 and get dropped directly into a dos shell! >:)

ConsumerReports.org - Hacking car security 6/05: Keyless entry system, car security system.

Thieves with a little electronic know-how can crack the security codes in car keys or wireless gas-payment tags in 15 minutes using an inexpensive homemade decoder. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University did just that earlier this year to demonstrate that the security codes aren’t adequate.

Old news I know, but interesting that consumer reports finally got the wind of the story.

help please…

I am not much for internet begging.. but the video is pretty sweet..

Mambo - A PHP & MySQL Content Management System - Mambo wins… again.

The development team of Mambo is celebrating what amounts to it’s most significant form of recognition by the Open Source software community, after last night winning the “Best Open Source Solution” prize.

The Mambo content management system defied the bookmakers by defeating Firefox, IBM and LTSP, when being judged for the best of the best at San Francisco LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, at the Moscone Center.

“Many observers are starting to take Mambo seriously as a business solution, let-alone a user solution,” Mambo lead developer Andrew Eddie said. “The fact that Mambo can stand toe-to-toe with the big boys is not so much recognition we seek but it does highlight the maturity of Mambo in today’s technology space.”

Mambo had been competing against the highly acclaimed Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox web browser, Linux Terminal Server Project and IBM’s Derby project.

“Being in such good company also tells us Open Source software is really beginning to penetrate the marketplace,” Mr Eddie said. “Mambo itself has had more than 3 million downloads and this number seems to be increasing exponentially over the past 12 months.”

“It’s reasonable to argue Firefox could become the web browser of choice and, I believe, Mambo has the potential to enjoy the same popularity with users, developers and business people trying out click-and-publish websites,” he said.

Core developers Mitch Pirtle and Andy Miller were at the convention to accept the award. “There’s been such a buzz around the project at the expo,” Mr Pirtle said. “We’ve had so many people visit our stand to check out Mambo, we’ve been run off our feet.”

He said many who visited the Mambo stand were hailing its ability to empower the end user to publish their content “without needing to be a rocket scientist”. “The fact it removes barriers to people who would never have considered being able to quickly and easily publish on the web, is the most appealing feature to those who use Mambo.”

“Developers and web designers too are attracted to Mambo as it provides an extremely powerful platform to create their clients’ presence with less effort than using traditional bespoke code,” he said.

Mambo’s collection of awards over the past 12 months includes: “Best of Show”, multiple “Best Open Source Solution” at LinuxWorld expos and was voted “Best Free Software Project of the Year” in the UK’s LinuxFormat magazine.

Andy Miller said he believes Mambo was fast achieving global recognition with users and now with peers. “As an Open Source project, we never forget that it has been the users who have driven much of the refinement of what Mambo has become,” Mr Miller said.

“I like to call it software development ‘by democracy’ as the Mambo team of developers is constantly listening to the feedback of the community. The developers are always seeking to improve Mambo based on collaborative effort.”

“There’s always something we haven’t considered that’s brought to our attention by a fresh pair of eyes,” Mr Miller added.
