Horror awaits Marlow, a seaman assigned by an ivory company to retrieve a cargo boat and one of its employees, Mr. Kurtz who is stranded in the heart of the Africa, deep in the Belgian Congo. Marlow's journey up the brooding dark river soon becomes a struggle to maintain his own sanity as he witnesses the brutalization of the natives by white traders and discovers the enigmatic Mr. Kurtz. Kurtz, once a genius and the company's most successful representative, has become a savage. His compound is decorated by a row of human heads mounted on spears. The demonic mastermind, liberated from the conventions of European culture, has traded his soul to become ruler of his own horrific dominion.

Skype Hacks - Cheap Calls From Your PC

Posted: October 12th, 2008, 8:54pm CEST

Tags: [edit]

Skype is hot right now. Actually, you can expand that and say that VoIP is hot right now, but Skype has carved out a special niche that many VoIP companies haven't yet been able to. Skype has prompted several imitators (Gizmo Project and Google Talk are two that I use personally), and has even been verbed ("I just skyped Leo Laporte about the last TWiT podcast" or "Skype me at notarealskypename and we'll talk" are examples of this).
-So how do you get the most out of Skype? By using this book.
In a lot of ways, this book could have been part of the Missing Manual series rather than the Hacks series. The first chapter steps users through making a Skype call, conference calling, and chatting. Using the pay features of Skype (SkypeIn, SkypeOut, and Skype Voicemail) are also covered, with special attention paid to showing users how to get a free trial for them. Of course, reading the Terms and Conditions would tell you much of the same information, since the refund policy for pay features is there.
-The second chapter goes into the financial aspects of Skype, and shows that it may not be the most economical alternative for many people. Useful information, but pretty easy to calculate. Most people don't think about minute-rounding when they figure what their phone bill should be, though, so this section is pretty valuable.
-There's really not much "hacking" in this book until chapter 4, where we start tweaking and tuning Skype (though chapter 3 does show how to build your own Skype server at home, and how to integrate Skype into your existing phone system). We learn about config.xml and what we can change to make Skype run the way we want it to. We're even told how to put Skype call shortcuts on our desktop, if we have people we call frequently.
-Chapter 5 is for the businessman, showing how to implement Skype in a corporate setting. There's some unexplored potential to this aspect of Skype, including the call-center application (Hack #54).
-The main reason that I wanted this book was Hack #56 -- recording conversations. My main reason for getting Skype was to use it for interviews, and I planned on recording them for editing and playback on my podcast. This was also my reason for switching to Gizmo Project -- Skype doesn't have that feature built-in, but Gizmo does. The book shows a few solutions to this problem, preferring the Pamela professional Skype add-on ($22). I was disappointed that they didn't mention Hot Recorder ($14.95, but with a free version also), which is the solution I have heard the most about.
-The most important hack is #81 -- the workaround for 911 service. VoIP phones don't have 911 capability, which is a source of concern for many potential users (including me). The book offers a simple workaround for this lack, and the lack of 411 service as well.
-There's a lot of valuable information in this book. I'm not sure it qualifies as a Hack book, but it is invaluable for anyone who uses Skype frequently. Highly recommended.

Insider Attack and Cyber Security Beyond the Hacker

Posted: October 12th, 2008, 8:49pm CEST

Tags: [edit]

Hackers, especially "terrorist hackers" or "cyberwar hackers" get lots of press. They do indeed pose a serious problem. However, the threat they pose pales be- fore that posed by those closest to us: the insiders. The cyberthreat posed by insiders isn’t new. Donn Parker’s seminal 1978 book Crime by Computer estimated that 95% of computer attacks were committed by authorized users of the system. Admittedly, this was in the pre-Internet era, when very few non-insiders had any access at all; still, the underlying issue – that em- ployees are not always trustable – remains. To be sure, this has always been true – thieving or otherwise corrupt workers have undoubtedly existed since commerce itself – but the power of computers (and our inability to secure them in the best of circumstances) makes the problem far worse today. In June 2007, a workshop (sponsored by Cliff Wang of the Army Research Of- fice) on the insider threat was held. Approximately 35 invitees attended, including security
researchers, vendors, practitioners, and representatives of organizations that perceive a serious insider threat. The goal was to develop a research commu-nity on the insider threat. Of necessity, our first steps were to understand the scope of the problem, to develop a common vocabulary, and to start sketching a research agenda. This volume consists of papers contributed by some of those at-tendees.
Types of Attack
Fundamentally, there are three different types of attack: misuse of access, defense bypass, and access control failure. Each must be approached differently. *PDF*
