Gartner's Top 10 disruptive datacenter technologies
@ Dec 04 2008, 22:22 (UTC+0) | From: gr00ve :
A new computing fabric to replace today's blade servers and a "pod" approach to building datacenters are two of the most disruptive technologies that will affect the enterprise datacenter in the next few years, Gartner said at its annual datacenter conference Wednesday. Datacenters increasingly will be built in separate zones or pods, rather than as one monolithic structure, Gartner analyst Carl Claunch said in a presentation about the Top 10 disruptive technologies affecting the datacenter.

The site was redirected at around 12:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday after someone logged into CheckFree's Network Solutions account and changed the domain's DNS settings, said Susan Wade, a Network Solutions spokeswoman. "Somebody got hold of the customer's login information," she said. "I don’t know how they got access."

Time for forced updates? Conficker botnet makes us wonder
@ Dec 04 2008, 13:53 (UTC+0) | From: gr00ve :
The security industry is currently riding high on a string of successful malware-friendly ISP takedowns, but the rising specter of a new major botnet has driven spam levels back to previous levels before McColo was kicked offline. The new botnet is currently known by several names: Trend Micro calls it Downad.a, Microsoft uses Conficker.a, and Symantec labeled it Downadup. No matter what you call it, it's causing some problems, though various antimalware companies have held out hope that it can be contained before it grows to the size of Storm or Srizbi.

Comcast usage monitor coming in January
@ Dec 04 2008, 03:07 (UTC+0) | From: byte69 :
DSL Reports has gotten word that Comcast will soon be offering its Internet subscribers a bandwidth usage meter as early as the first week of January. With the new system users would presumably be able to see how much bandwidth they've used, akin to cellular service providers offering estimates to keep customers from going over their allotted limit. Such a tool for Internet bandwidth would let customers adjust their usage habits accordingly.

Plug-N-Play Network Hacking
@ Articles -> Link
Dec 04 2008, 23:49 (UTC+0) | Universal Plug-N-Play (UPnP) is a protocol that allows various network devices to auto-configure themselves. One of the most common uses of this protocol is to allow devices or programs to open up ports on your home router in order to communicate properly with the outside world (Xbox, for example, does this). The UPnP protocol is built on top of pre-existing protocols and specifications, most notably, UDP, SSDP, SOAP and XML.
This article will address some of the security issues related to UPNP, briefly describe the inner workings of the protocol, and show how to identify and analyze UPNP devices on a network using open source tools. While we will be specifically focusing on IGDs (Internet Gateway Devices, aka, routers), it is important to remember that there are many other devices and systems that support UPNP as well, and they may be vulnerable to similar attacks.

ISA Firewall Web Caching Capabilities
@ Articles -> Link
Dec 03 2008, 13:01 (UTC+0) | ISA can act as a firewall, as a combined firewall and Web caching server (the best “bang for the buck”), or as a dedicated Web caching server. You can deploy ISA as a forward caching server or a reverse caching server. The Web proxy filter is the mechanism that ISA uses to implement caching functionality.
Article covers the following:
- Introduction
- Using the Caching Feature
- ISA Firewall Cache Rules
- Cache Rules to Specify Content Types That Can Be Cached
- Using Cache Rules to Specify How Objects are Retrieved and Served from Cache
- The Content Download Feature
- Control Caching via HTTP Headers

Browser Power Consumption
@ Articles -> Link
Dec 03 2008, 12:54 (UTC+0) | A study By Robert Hansen (RSnake) examines relationship between modern feature rich webpages and their effect on power consumption.
Preface: In the modern era of green energy and power conservation, it is worth looking at methods of conservation that are closer to the average consumer. In combining the areas of modern browser security and the power needs of "rich" or dynamic web pages, an interesting crossover appears, that shows the two concepts work hand in hand with computer power conservation. While this exercise was not a real scientific study, it provided enough evidence to point to clear areas of power consumption in every day web applications.
