When we see a headline about weapons of mass destruction, we immediately think of Islamic terrorists launching chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. But another type of weapon will become equally dangerous and much more available within the next decade: an artificially intelligent computer virus. Dan Ronco explores this emerging threat in PeaceMaker, his new scifi thriller, released August 1, 2004 by Winterwolf Publishing. Complimentary copies are available to qualified individuals.

Microsoft Joins Law Enforcement to Track
Perpetrators of Emerging Worm Attacks
against Computer Users
05/03/2004 05:15 AM
A recent increase in malicious activity on the Internet, including the development of attack tools and exploit code, has resulted in an automated attack against computer users in the form of a worm identified as "W32.Sasser.worm" ("Sasser"). Through this worm, the attacker is attempting to exploit systems that are not protected against the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) vulnerability, which is mitigated by the use of a firewall and fixed in Microsoft Security Update MS04-011 on April 13, 2004. There is additional malicious activity in the form of variants of a worm known as "Agobot" (or "Agrobot"), which similarly seeks to exploit systems not protected by a firewall or the installation of MS04-011.

Xeni Jardin: In North Korea: an explosion, a giant crater, and a "peculiar cloud." Both the South Korean government and the US government say they don't believe North Korea conducted a nuclear test.
President Bush and his top advisers have received intelligence reports in recent days describing a confusing series of actions by North Korea that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon, according to senior officials with access to the intelligence.

While the indications were viewed as serious enough to warrant a warning to the White House, American intelligence agencies appear divided about the significance of the new North Korean actions, much as they were about the evidence concerning Iraq's alleged weapons stockpiles.

Some analysts in agencies that were the most cautious about the Iraq findings have cautioned that they do not believe the activity detected in North Korea in the past three weeks is necessarily the harbinger of a test. A senior scientist who assesses nuclear intelligence says the new evidence "is not conclusive," but is potentially worrisome.

Jargon: The Biggest Computer Security

04/04/2005 01:54 PM
If you're online these days, computer security problems come in all sorts of flavors including viruses, worms, phishing, trojans, zombies, spyware, malware, adware, DDoS, spam, spim, spit, buffer overflows and many others... and, of course, most people have no clue what most of those mean -- which leads them to (a) freaking out about the insecurity of using computers while (b) having no idea how to really protect themselves. While some may question this particular study, it does make a good point that a lot of the jargon used to describe security threats can sometimes be more confusing for non-techie computer users. What this means, though, is that many less savvy users are simply going to expect their ISP to keep them secure, which may be quite a challenge for ISPs who aren't prepared for that sort of thing.

Weapons of mass destruction found!


Weapons of mass destruction found! 12/05/2003 09:04 AM
Weapon s of Mass Destruction Found! Only they weren't in Iraq, they were in Texas and the terrorists involved weren't Al-Queda or Islamic fundamentalists but white supremacists. I haven't seen this on Google News, CNN or ABC News. I only read about it because I happened across Sensible Erection which I think I found browsing through MetaFilter user profiles.

At work while poking around the official website for Iraq's Coalition Provisional Authority we stumbled across some interesting meta tags:

<meta name=" keywords" content="Coalition, Saddam, Hussein, War, Iraq, Oil, army, health, Gulf War, military, humanitarian, operations, Medical, assistance, mass, destruction, Military, medical, news, Bremer, forces, RPGs, national, guard, defense, DoD, security, war, contracts, contracting, civilian, KBR, Bechtel, Halliburton, electricity, baghdad, Iraqi, Iraqis, Sunni, Shiite, kurds, , defense, bombing, missile, weapon, weapons, WMD">

The nod towards Halliburton is a nice touch as well.
