Interesting things I read today.

World's biggest hacker held

This one's real interesting, lol. This guy claimed that he hacked into the US military computers to prove that US military is covering up UFO landings on Earth. That's two of the biggest conspiracy on Earth, hacking into one of the most secure computers on the planet, and UFO existence ? Man, what are people getting into, lol. However, the sad thing is that his tricks aren't new, he got a break from weak passwords used by the military personnel, haha. Oh, BTW, he's British, so England got the best hacker now ? ^.^

$80bn Google takes top media spot

A short while back, I made an e-commerce report about the rapid growth of Google, how they grew 4 times since 2003. Oh, that was last week. What surprised me was that, man, now they're at the to spot ? This is truly phenomenon, I mean, IT industry is one of the fastest growing in the world now, but this is crazy. Microsoft took over the world's computers by offering cheap OS (the first few versions anyway ....), Amazon and E-Bay became huge companies overnight selling nothing at all (not really nothing ), and now Google, became huge by offering free search service (forget the ad-sense stuffs, let me be paranoid a lil) ? Is making money from the Internet this easy ? People are coming up with new crazy ways. I'll graduated in 1 month (hopefully), maybe I'm gonna try something on the Internet, lol. (Hold your laughters ppl, my comments stops here, ;p)


polymorphic worms, metamorphic worms, and worms that make use of entry-point obscuration


Omg, I can't even pronounce some of these words, Internet worms are evolving ! This continue to shows how hackers are some how always ahead of security experts. Simple worms are now embedded with email servers, http servers, and the latest one, a backdoor IRC channel ? Hacker's have moved from hobbyist to a profession. OMFG, what has the world come to. Back in the good old days, hacking is usually done to show ur friends what you can do, as a hobby out of curiosity. Hackers today, are selling unknown exploits (0-day exploits) to blackmarkets, sell vulnerable servers to spammers an d phisher, and what else will happen next ? Aren't this illegal ? Talking about illegal, I wonder how the security companies get all this stats, and them monitoring the world's network traffic "ok" while the rest of the world are crying foul to their ISPs monitoring their networks ? So I guess now the question is, what about cyberlaw? Who should police the Internet ? What are the borders and jurisdictions of the laws ?
