Wordpress installations abused by large DDoS attack
In a large DDoS attack is a functionality in Wordpress exploited to enhance the attack. Force That represents a security company. It is the XML-RPC functionality. Which can be exploited to spoof. Http requests
WordpressWeblogs use the XML RPC functionality including to let you know that is linked, called pingbacks to them. Other blogs That functionality is also abusing writes Sucuri security. Due to spoof as if they were coming from a particular website, http-requests a Wordpress website focuses his answer to that website.
That happened in a recent attack, in which 162,000 websites Wordpress unsuspecting users through xml-rpc set their sights on other Wordpress sites. In addition, the caching of the affected sites was circumvented by Wordpress to send the request, so the Wordpress installation had to serve a new page for each request and the database was consulted. Random numbers As a result, the sites were quickly flat.
It is not a security vulnerability in Wordpress, emphasizes Sucuri, the XML-RPC functionality is seen as a feature. Nevertheless, managers of a Wordpress website can manually disable pingback functionality. The security company has a tool published that allow administrators to check their Wordpress installation in the recent attack is abused.

'Database WhatsApp on Android can easily be stolen "
Other Android apps to the message database WhatsApp get without too much trouble. The encryption used can thereby be easily cracked. That suggests a Dutch system, which is a proof-of-concept has made.
To make the message database of a WhatsApp user booty is sufficient to install both the SD card can be used as allowed on the Internet, an application he writes sysadmin Bas Bosschert on his own website. "Because most people allow everything on their Android device, is not really a problem," says Bosschert.
The WhatsApp database is stored in a subfolder of the SD card, writes Bosschert. This allows any application to the SD card may database. Android devices without sd card slot have otherwise emulated partition on the flash memory that occurs when sd card. Uploading the database in a breeze.
For some time WhatsApp encrypts the database, but will on any phone using the same key, so the databases using a simple script to decrypt his. "Facebook did not need to buy WhatsApp to read your WhatsApp messages", sneers Bosschert.
Incidentally, a user must still install the rogue application, and the chances are that the malicious behavior is observed in the Play Store. However, the code to steal WhatsApp calls can be combined with an application like Flappy Bird, a popular game from the Play Store is removed, including instructions to make the sideload apps For example, a malicious writes Bosschert.

Web founder calls for 'digital constitution "
There should be a "digital constitution" which are the rights of Internet users are guaranteed. This is suggested by the founder of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, about 25 years after he drew up the first draft of the www.
"Unless we have what happens at the back door, we do not have open government, democracy, good, good health, a related company and a diverse culture that we can rely on without us having to fear an open and neutral Internet," says Berners-Lee told The Guardian. He does his statements exactly 25 years after he wrote the first draft for the development of the web.
Berners-Lee is an outspoken critic of espionage by the British and American intelligence, rather he called the spying "stupid". Across The Guardian, he says: "Our rights from all sides increasingly violated, and the danger is that we get used to it."
The call of Berners-Lee is accompanied by the website Web We Want , where Internet users can come together to ask. digital constitution for their country Ultimately leading to national or even international law in which Internet users are protected.
Berners-Lee argues that much legislation will be necessary for the benefit of the free Internet, including copyright. "The laws that keep people from ending up in jail, are largely designed to protect film producers," said Berners-Lee.
He is also critical of the great influence that the U.S. government has on the internet, the management of IP addresses and domain names are administered by a foundation governed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. According to the Web-founder is not logical, since the internet is so international. At the same time it is critical that the web disintegrates into several parts, the so-called "Balkanization" of the Internet. Include Iran is developing its own web.

LG G Flex
If we are to believe Samsung and LG is the future of the screen crooked. Both parties came in 2013 with the first curved OLED TVs for consumers and announced two phones with a curved screen. Supply curve for televisions screens as LG and Samsung a more intense viewing experience.
But where are crooked smartphones accounted for? That depends on who you ask, because Samsung and LG have opted for different solutions. LG chooses his G Flex for a curvature around the horizontal axis, which would sit the microphone closer to your mouth and if you look at the screen on its side, is the same as the curvature of a curve television.
The device is available in the Netherlands, recently for the hefty sum of nearly seven hundred euros. For that amount you get a big 6 "phone with modern hardware and of course that special curved screen. We walked for a while with this monster around to see if the curved screen or benefits entails nothing more than a gimmick.

Valve makes translation layer Direct3D to OpenGL opensource
Valve has the translation layer that the company itself uses disclosed for many of its Linux ports. 'ToGL' is not officially supported by Valve and is not to be used, but may still be useful for developers of Linux ports.
Pierre-Loup Griffais Valve announced on GitHub known that the translation layer is now open source. The part is taken directly from the source code of Dota 2 and supports according Griffais a limited part of DirectX 9.0c. Also bytecode can HLSL to GLSL be translated and the Shader Model 3.0 support. There are still some Source Engine elements in the code that should be processed. Still removed
Valve sets itself high on Linux. For example, Linux ports of Portal 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the making, and further practically every game from Valve ported to Linux. Valve is also working on its own operating system: SteamOS. Gabe Newell has in the past stated that Linux and open source the future of gaming, so this move by Valve is not entirely a surprise; games that can be to OpenGL ported using this translation layer can immediately visit Valves SteamOS that runs on Linux and OpenGL.

Dutch secret services may violate law by collecting data
The AIVD intelligence and DISS violated the law in collecting data. That does not happen systematically, claims a supervisor. At other points, the law technological developments used in a way that is not provided.
The secret service AIVD and DISS, military intelligence, among others violated the law by hacking into computer systems. In principle, the services that may, but the way they use the so-called hack power is not always legitimate. That concludes the Review Committee on the Intelligence and Security in a report that the House had asked for. Part of the report is confidential and will only be shared with the government and parliament.
According CTIVD services use the hack power sometimes to collect in a way that in practice is equivalent to draining the Internet information. For draining the Internet should be given to the minister, but that happens in these cases. The consent of the Minister may otherwise not be taken literally, he may delegate his permission.
At other times AIVD staff collect information in a way that is comparable to a tap, without permission is requested. It is for example used an agent who then put a tap, where the secret service just asks permission for the use of the agent, and not placing the tap. That explained the chairman of the CTIVD, Harm Brouwer, add in a broadcast Nieuwsuur.
DISS additionally sometimes violates the law in analyzing metadata, judges CTIVD. That happens new targets are set, based on metadata and without the consent of the Minister. Remarkably, the CTIVD in 2011 even ruled that this practice was not right. Also, without the consent of the Minister metadata searched in cooperation with foreign intelligence services.
In a broadcast on Tuesday Nieuwsuur parliamentarians VVD, PvdA and D66 gifts to be better monitoring of secret services. To favor However, the government is not going to change some, control the government writes in his letter to the Lower House.
Although the law is being broken here and there, that does not happen systematically judges the CTIVD. At other points are well respected law on paper, but powers are used in a way that was impossible to predict when designing legislation, which dates from 2002. According to the committee, the secret services collect data from many private chats, e-mails and phone calls, as well as metadata. That "potential invasion of privacy" was under the CTIVD not foreseen in 2002.
At other points, the current law does not provide sufficient protection for privacy. This happens for example in gathering and analyzing metadata from the ether is picked. According to the regulator, the use of that power is not good enough motivated and there are not enough safeguards for privacy. There must also be at the hacking of web forums, which last fall showed that GISS did, more attention to the privacy of the users of the forums.
The secret services regularly exchange information with intelligence agencies of other countries, writes the regulator. These include the raw data, which have not yet been processed information, which may be shared. Systematic basis It induces the Dutch secret services assume that human rights and local laws are respected by the service. The Supervisor should be further considered whether that is justified, "in light of the revelations of the past period. Well
At other points, the secret services do well to adhere to the law. Internet connections are not so unfocused drained, something that currently can not do, but what the secret services want and where possible, legislation is to make it possible. well Also, there is no evidence that the secret foreign intelligence services deliberately ask to collect which they can not collect. Yourself information Other secret services were called earlier this reproach.
The government promises improvements in a number of points. Where legislation is used in a way that was not foreseen when drafting the law, the law changed. The Minister must also give permission for the exchange of large amounts of raw data with foreign intelligence services.
The secret service AIVD and DISS, military intelligence, among others violated the law by hacking into computer systems. In principle, the services that may, but the way they use the so-called hack power is not always legitimate. That concludes the Review Committee on the Intelligence and Security in a report that the House had asked for. Part of the report is confidential and will only be shared with the government and parliament.
According CTIVD services use the hack power sometimes to collect in a way that in practice is equivalent to draining the Internet information. For draining the Internet should be given to the minister, but that happens in these cases. The consent of the Minister may otherwise not be taken literally, he may delegate his permission.
At other times AIVD staff collect information in a way that is comparable to a tap, without permission is requested. It is for example used an agent who then put a tap, where the secret service just asks permission for the use of the agent, and not placing the tap. That explained the chairman of the CTIVD, Harm Brouwer, add in a broadcast Nieuwsuur.
DISS additionally sometimes violates the law in analyzing metadata, judges CTIVD. That happens new targets are set, based on metadata and without the consent of the Minister. Remarkably, the CTIVD in 2011 even ruled that this practice was not right. Also, without the consent of the Minister metadata searched in cooperation with foreign intelligence services.
In a broadcast on Tuesday Nieuwsuur parliamentarians VVD, PvdA and D66 gifts to be better monitoring of secret services. To favor However, the government is not going to change some, control the government writes in his letter to the Lower House.
Although the law is being broken here and there, that does not happen systematically judges the CTIVD. At other points are well respected law on paper, but powers are used in a way that was impossible to predict when designing legislation, which dates from 2002. According to the committee, the secret services collect data from many private chats, e-mails and phone calls, as well as metadata. That "potential invasion of privacy" was under the CTIVD not foreseen in 2002.
At other points, the current law does not provide sufficient protection for privacy. This happens for example in gathering and analyzing metadata from the ether is picked. According to the regulator, the use of that power is not good enough motivated and there are not enough safeguards for privacy. There must also be at the hacking of web forums, which last fall showed that GISS did, more attention to the privacy of the users of the forums.

Rumor: iPhones larger resemble 5c iPhone and iPod nano
The larger iPhones that would have to come to the market this year would be similar to the iPhone and iPod nano 5c. That says a usually reliable Japanese Apple blog. The phones would be much longer and wider than current iPhones.

The 4.7 "iPhone would be 14x7cm versus 12.4 x5, 9cm from the current iPhone 5s and 5c. The 5.7 "would measure 16x8cm. Model Both phones would thus have approximately the same bezels in height and width as the current iPhones, the top and bottom Apple would each side around 1.5cm leave next to the screen, the sides about 0.5 cm.
The Japanese blog inconclusive about the thickness of the devices if Apple makes the case 7mm thick would the camera module on the back stick, as with many other smartphones is the case. By making the housing 0.5mm thicker Apple would not let the camera protrude.
The design should draw inspiration from the iPhone 5c and the seventh-generation iPod nano. This probably indicates a colored aluminum housing with rounded corners, but the blog is there no further. Apple would be the buttons and rounded shapes of the 5c use.
Apple is working according to 9to5Mac also a major update to its Maps app for iOS 8. It would include improved data and public transport route down. It is not surprising that the rumors flare up over the next iPhone and iOS version. There are few rumors that talk about release dates for the new iOS and iPhone, but that happened in recent years, each time in September or October.
