Security Roundup August
Bunch of things I’ve found recently:
- Lockdown - Mac Anti-Theft App (FoozoSoft / Freeware)
- How I Stole Someone’s Online Identity (Scientific America)
- List of Tools / Stuff Released at Defcon (ZDNet)
- BlackHat 2008 Presentations and associated code (Zip file)
- A threat nobody considered (Birds steal $4000 in coins from coin-op carwash)
- Death Star Threat Modeling (Videos from HOPE)
- Track the “Security” Zeitgeist (popular bookmarks tagged ‘Security’ at Delicious, has RSS feed)
- Robot Security Guards (apparently these or similar are in use at the Olympics)
- Three iPhone SSH Clients Reviewed (iSSH vs pTerm vs TouchTerm vs SSH)
- Gmail Hacking Tool (why you should use https://mail.google.com)
- Opt-out of Google Tracking (use a cookie to avoid cookies)
In other news, I’ve put my Shinobi Scanner (Nmap frontend) project on-hold. It’s likely to start again in the coming months, but I didn’t want to promise what I couldn’t deliver. Join the announcements mailing list (at the website) to keep informed of its status.
