Windows users live under a constant threat of attacks from writers of viruses or worms that exploit security flaws in their system. Outside of the annoyance of receiving infected e-mails, however, Mac users are immune to such problems. Or are they? MacCentral recently spoke with leading Mac anti-virus software publishers to find out.

Art/culture of computer viruses 09/24/2004 05:36 AM
David Pescovitz: BB friend Alessandro Ludovico of Neural.it magazine points us to "I love you (rev.eng): The Aesthetics of Computer Viruses," an exhibit he's involved with that prem iered in Germany and is now on view at Brown University in the US:

"I love you [rev.eng]" is divided into four investigative areas - political, cultural, technical and historical - and focuses on the controversial positions of security experts and hackers, of net artists and programmers, of literature experts and code poets...

What can visitors to the "I love you [rev.eng]" exhibition expect?

- Force computers to crash with "Sasser" or "Suicide"
- Experience a global virus outbreak in real time via a 3D world
- View security concepts and methods for preventing global network attacks
- Witness computer viruses as works of art like "biennale.py" and "The Lovers"
- See films by hackers on their subculture
- Learn about programming languages as the material for contemporary poetry
- Juxtapose experimental literature and code poetry

Stopping Computer Viruses Before They
Reach You 11/12/2003 01:33 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "The Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) announced that one of its computer science teams has developed a new technology to stop computer viruses and worms before they reach your system. John Lockwood and his team didn't use software. Instead, they created an open platform that augments a network with reprogrammable hardware, called the Field-programmable Port Extender (FPX). "The FPX can scan each and every byte of every data packet transmitted through a network at a rate of 2.4 billion bits per second. In other words, the FPX could scan every word in the entire works of Shakespeare in about 1/60th of a second," said Lockwood. Real products based on the technology should appear soon. More excerpts and references are contained in my blog which also includes a photograph of an FPX module." I'm a little confused as to what the big deal is about this. It's basically doing two things: put antivirus protection at the network level instead of the end client, which isn't a new idea at all and using an FPGA hardware solution instead of software (which they seem to be saying is faster). Am I missing something, or is this not that big of a deal?
