Second Life users need to be cautious with Quicktime embedded videos in the game as it may be used to pick your pocket of Linden Dollars.

Charles Miller and Dino Dai Zovi, of Independent Security Evaluators, have found that by using a flaw in Quicktime, they can not only pick the pocket of any user within 100 virtual feet of the player, they can take complete control of the avatar. Once the account has been taken over, the hackers can then use that avatar to go to other lands, embed their virus loaded video, and it will continue to spread from land to land.  read more »

hi,

today i installed squid on my local lan to reduce the network usage.its simple u need to download the squid from here
and install it.then configure ur browsers to use port 8080 and ur done.

nice huh?

here at secgeeks we have our spam filters configured which learn by the time.recently i have seen some comment on this site which are at the first glance,appears to be a generic comment containing news but in the reality they contents URLs to the spam site.
spammers are working hard on new techniques like MP3,PDF and now this news comment spam but i dont think all such things will work properly.
oh and did i mention that on my efax account too i recive lots of spam?so security folks,u should try adding efax protection support in your antispam solutions.

From last 2-3 days i am receiving the spam mails for winning lottery.i am wondering what happened to gmail's spam filters?why they are not filtering such mails?is anyone of u are facing the same problem?bellow is the screenshot:-

/*This function fragments the ip packets and sends them on the wire
parameter passed:MTU,pcap header ,packet len,vlan header present or not
return value:none
follows RFC791 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc791.txt
*/

void FragmentAndSendIPPackets(struct pcap_pkthdr *pktheader,u_char* Packet,u_int len){
ethernet* EthHeader;
ip* IPHeader;
ip* OrigIPHeader;
ip* NewIPHeader;
u_short NFB=0;
