SOLDIERX.COM Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination

While trying to learn a little more about security in general, I came across this tidbit... I can only imagine the consequences in the wrong hands! (or is that the *right* hands?)

[quote]Researchers Break Browser Encryption that Protects Almost the Entire Internet

Do you use Gmail? How about Facebook? Maybe Amazon? All of these rely on SSL, an encryption technology that keeps what goes between you and a website. It's the little lock icon. Now two guys say they've cracked the code.

Thai Duong and Juliano Rizzo are these two guys. This week, The Register reports, they'll show the world how to kill PayPal's SSL with only an itsy bitsy piece of code, unraveling the entire encryption process and leaving your ostensibly private data open to eavesdroppers. The implications for this are massive.

Hi,
I would like to know your opinion on how anonymous I am, if it would be possible for federals to trace my identity and what you are using for your anonymity!

I'm using a paid anon vpn (currently one paid with validated paypal account that refers to my real name) and TorBrowser - sometimes if I need higher speed I also use valid socks or anon-proxys I can find in regular proxy lists like xroxy.org for example. Would it be necessary to increase anonymity in some ways or are there other (like easier/harder/faster) ways?? Can I be easily traced?

Hello guys,

I need some help regarding VPN. In windows we have many alternates like cyberghost, hotspot-sheilds etc. In many cases i have to work on Linux (Redhat and ubantu). Please suggest me a very good application for a safe anonymity.

regards

I would like to start this off by saying that I am working
towards a Masters of Science in Security and Forensics.

That said, I will posting most of what I learn in general terms here.
I would also like to take this time to ask anyone with solid skillz on the subject
to post anything related to this topic that they feel is relevant and to interject
with relevant information when ever a correction or expansion of a post is needed.

Well, Lets get to it shall we...

so i was talking to HP support (some guy in India) about getting a new battery under warranty because mine went bad. he told me that a "digital virus" had attacked that battery and that is why it has failed. is there such a thing as digital viruses that attack hardware directly first? i know viruses exist that can indirectly affect hardware (run up the RPM's on a harddrive until failure, etc.). he told me that i need to purchase some $600 dollar package from HP that will magically solve all my problems, but i said f@#$ that

All i can say is about bloody time

A good friend of mine just called me up last night with a big problem but very common. His social security number had been compromised. There is someone in riverside, ca using his number. He's tried to get the banks to fix it but they haven't done anything. And the problem is he's number has been used since 2005. Now my friends been getting letters sent to his work about unpaid credit cards and to withhold funds from his check. Good thing his employers know it's not him. So my question is: is there any "truly free" site to get info using reverse phone lookup. I've googled but all the sites I got required a subscription for any information. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

This was posted on Digg earlier, but here is the original article.

My initial thoughts: The concept isn't difficult, and although the bit:cluster ratio seems like a lot -- on a 4kB-cluster filesystem that's 32 bytes of obfuscation per megabyte of disk space for a base-ratio of 2^15:1 bytes/byte -- it'll work fine for text, just no heavy media.

As many ps3 online gamers know the playstation network (PSN) has been down for about a week. Sony has commented on the issues calling it an "unauthorized intrusion". Now people are accusing anonymous as being the attackers. Anonymous has stated that they are not the cause (at least not that cluster who responded) which they do not speak for other divisions of the collective. But whether it was them or not it's very interesting this has happened after the geohotz lawsuit. Wink wink
