Gadget Hacks

Ok, i know the title of this post is kinda funny but that's what this news is all about, one of the greatest internet browsers of this time Mozilla Firefox and with other products also. This have been spread in the form of Add-on’s.     These aren't just add-on’s the real problem is that they are infected with Malwares and they have downloaded by many of the people worldwide.   According to the researchers “ Two Firefox add-on’s available for months on Mozilla’s website infected users with malware that stole passwords and opened a backdoor on Windows machines, the open-source browser maker has confirmed. ” …   According to Mozilla, version 4.0 of So think Web Video Downloader is infected with password sniffer Win32.LdPinch.gen and Master Filer is infected with the backdoor trojan Win32.Bifrose .   Which is worst for a popular web browser company as it would spread rapidly and would be more dangerous. But this is where it gets embarrassing f...

Just few days ago the big ShmooCon 2010 took place at the Washington DC from 5th to 7th of this month. It was obvious that some new would come from the con, and yes, one security researcher have done it. BlackBerry phones have been hit this time with a new spyware which can do alot of stuff like the ability to access and dump the BlackBerry's contacts, email messages, phone logs, the device's current location and the recording made by the BlackBerry's microphone….   And the program which hacks the blackberry is called txsBBSPY written by Tyler Shields , a senior security researcher at Veracode , Well it seems that the engineers would be working on it.   The great thing about this software is that we don't need to make it hidden on some firmware or something its an application for the BlackBerry phones. Just install it and you can monitor the stuff you want to do.   “ The application was built using the controlled APIs that Research In Motion, the Bla...

Yes, you heard it right one of the most famous and which have been for years to encrypt the communication standards have been cracked by a bunch of scientists who took about two-and-a-half years and hundreds of general-purpose computers.     This accomplishment was reached on December 12 . In my eyes it would have been very much harder to crack this kind of cryptography because it is so much calculated and so much hard to to crack…   The team managed to factor the 232-digit number that RSA held out as a representative 768-bit modulus from a now-obsolete challenge. They spent half a year using 80 processors on polynomial selection.   Sieving took almost two years and was done on "many hundreds of machines". Using a single-core 2.2GHz AMD Opteron with 2GB RAM , sieving would have taken about 1,500 years, they estimated.   The only word come in my mouth right now is WOW . "There's indisputable evidence here that 768-bit key a...

Well its kinda like the days are over of PS3 to be called secure because of a true fact that, the hacker behind some of the iPhone jail breaking and iPod too is behind the Playstation 3 Hardware and is nearly finished with the exploit.     On 22nd of this month the so known hacker George Hotz aka Geohot have claimed that he have successfully hacked the play station 3 box which he got from his friend.   “ I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1 . I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip. ”   The exploit which he is talking about and is working on is not till yet done and haven't been released by him….   As of now the Geohot is kind of quite about the exploit and its usage and writing about it :   “As far a...

I am investigating about it, as soon we will get the news we will update this post.   Update 1 : The Blog is back after 15 minutes of hacked state.
