In the fallout over the second massive WikiLeaks document dump of classified US State Department cables, a DDoS attack forced the whistleblowing site off its original host (PRG) and then political pressure from the US government forced it off its second (Amazon.com, whodathunk). Where to now?

Firefox Plugin: Protection from Flash Attacks
Last Updated on Friday, 9 July 2010 05:16 Written by DarkKnightH20 Monday, 12 July 2010 10:00
Hackers exploit many different types of vulnerabilities in attempts to attack other users. Many of these attacks happen to be browser based since it is easy to get people to go to web pages. Of these browser attacks, many use Adobe Flash vulnerabilities instead of browser-specific vulnerabilities. A plugin for Firefox, called Blitzableiter, was created in an attempt to prevent Flash-related hacking attempts. Basically, the plugin reads the SWF file and attempts to sanitize the code, parsing each piece, then recreates a safe SWF for your browser to load instead. Very cool!
iPad Jailbroken Already Using Old Security Flaw
Last Updated on Tuesday, 6 April 2010 02:49 Written by DarkKnightH20 Tuesday, 6 April 2010 02:44
That’s right guys, the Apple iPad has already been jailbroken! Don’t know what jailbreaking is? Well, to put it simply, it allows apps not authorized by Apple to run on the iPod Touch, iPhone, or, in this case, the iPad. This is usually done to run homebrew applications or games, and so forth.
A security flaw that existed in the iPhone 3.1.3 operating system (OS) was used that allowed for root access to be obtained in order to run these unauthorized apps. Expect updates that will close this hole in the near future!
