Making Security a Common Sense

Our good old friend Vivek Ramachandran launched a new website by the name http://securitytube.net

As per Vivek

It’s a community driven videos website for computer networking and security related fields. Though there are many video sharing websites available online, SecurityTube.Net is strictly focussed on hosting computer networking and security videos only. We have started this site to provide a knowledge sharing platform for security professionals, so that they can reach out effectively to a wider and focused audience

The collection is very good and is useful for every learner starting for beginners to experts.

The best part is that one can also embed a video from securitytube.net into his/her blog
Example:

Good work Vivek!

Adam Boileau, 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 uses firewire port (IEEE 1394) to gain a read/write access of the RAM of a locked and password protected computer.

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.

Checkout Adam’s website for more details. http://storm.net.nz/projects/16
