As reported here, Nokia, the mobile handset maker and leader will ship this August the next Nseries model at least in Europe and UK. The rest of the world, well a little bit later.
The successor of N95 is reported to have 16GB of built-in memory, support for microSD card to get an extended storage space of up to 32 GB. It will give users 40 hours of video content or more than 3000 songs in MP3 format. An awesome feature.
“If you have a Firewire port, disable it when you aren’t using it”.
A security consultant based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds without the need for a password.
Adam Boileau first demonstrated the hack, which affects Windows XP computers but has not yet been tested with Windows Vista, at a security conference in Sydney in 2006, but Microsoft has yet to develop a fix.
But now that a couple of years have passed and the issue has not resolved, Boileau decided to release the tool on his website.
To use the tool, hackers must connect a Linux-based computer to a Firewire port on the target machine. The machine is then tricked into allowing the attacking computer to have read and write access to its memory.
With full access to the memory, the tool can then modify Windows’ password protection code, which is stored there, and render it ineffective.
Older desktop computers do not come equipped with Firewire ports, which are needed for the hack to work, but many recent models do. Most laptops made in the last few years include Firewire ports.
