  2. R-Linux is a free file recovery utility for the Ext2FS file system used in the Linux OS and several Unixes. R-Linux uses InteligentScan technology and flexible parameter settings that give you real control over the fastest data recovery ever seen. It recovers files from existing logical disks even when file records are lost. However, there is no any network capabilities or ability to reconstruct damaged RAIDs or stripe sets in R-Linux.

    *  Standard "Windows Explorer" - style interface.

    * Host OS: Win9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003.

    * Supported file systems: Ext2FS (Linux) only.

    * Recognition and parsing Dynamic (Windows 2000/XP), Basic and BSD (UNIX) partitions layout schema.

    * Creates IMAGE FILES for an entire DISK, PARTITION or its part. Such image files can be processed like regular disks.

    * Recognizes localized names.

    * Recovered files can be saved on any (including network) disks accessible by the host operating system.

    R-Linux recovers files:

    *  Removed by virus attack, power failure or system crash;

    * After the partition with the files was reformatted, even for different file system;

    * When the partition structure on a disk was changed or damaged. In this case, R-Linux can scan the disk trying to find previously existed partitions and restore files from found partitions.

    * From disks with bad sectors. In this case, R-Linux can first copy the entire disk or its part into an image file and then process such image file. This is especially useful when new bad sectors are constantly appearing on the disk, and remaining information must be immediately saved.

    System Requirements

    * An Intel-compatible platform running Windows 9x/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP/2003.

    * At least 32 MB of RAM, a mouse, and enough disk space for recovered files, image files, etc.

    * The administrative privileges are required to install and run R-Linux under WinNT/2000/XP/2003.

  3. What's New With CWShredder?

    CWShredder is now owned and maintained by Trend Micro.

    CWShredder now cleans the CWS.Cassandra variant that includes a desktop hijack as well as a browser hijack.

    Originally developed by Merijn Bellekom of the Netherlands, CWShredderâ„¢ was owned and maintained by InterMute until June of 2005 when InterMute was aquired by Trend Micro.

  4. Convinced that the recent upswing in virus and Trojan attacks is directly linked to the creation of botnets for nefarious purposes, a group of high-profile security researchers is fighting back, vigilante-style.

    The objective of the group, which operates on closed, invite-only mailing lists, is to pinpoint and ultimately disable the C&C (command-and-control) infrastructure that sends instructions to millions of zombie drone machines hijacked by malicious hackers.

    "The idea is to share information and figure out where the botnets are getting their instructions from. Once we can identify the command-and-control server, we can act quickly to get it disabled. Once the head goes, that botnet is largely useless," said Roger Thompson, director of malicious content research at Computer Associates International Inc.

    Thompson, a veteran anti-virus researcher closely involved in the effort, said the group includes more than 100 computer experts (unofficially) representing anti-virus vendors, ISPs, educational institutions and dynamic DNS providers internationally.

    "It's just a bunch of good guys that have an interest in shutting down these botnets. We are dealing here with some very skilled and sophisticated attackers who have proven they know how to get around the existing defense systems," Thompson said in an interview with Ziff Davis Internet News.

  5. Thursday June 16th, 2005

    Dave Miller writes: "There will be multiple mozilla.org service outages the week of June 20-24, lasting anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours on each outage, as we move several servers to a new collocation facility."

    Dave's weblog post on the outages has more details. Virtually every public-facing service will be affected to some extent. Individual outages will be announced on nagios.mozilla.org.

    The outages are occurring because the Mozilla Foundation is moving the last of its servers from one meer.net colocation facility to another.

  10. Security Bulletin

    MPSB05-04 — Potential Security Risk with Macromedia eLicensing Client Activation Code

    Originally posted: June 9, 2005

    Summary

    Windows versions of the Macromedia installers and eLicensing client install a service with permissions that allow any member of the "Users" group to modify the service settings. This may allow local users to obtain the permissions of the "Local System" account.

    This potential vulnerability does not affect products installed on machines with a single user and it cannot be exploited remotely.

    Solution

    A hotfix can be downloaded from the Macromedia website to protect users of affected versions of Macromedia products, listed below.

    All future versions of Macromedia products will be unaffected by this issue.

    Affected Software Versions

    All versions of Macromedia MX 2004 products (Studio, Studio with Flash Professional, Flash Professional, Flash, FreeHand, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Director) as well as Captivate, Contribute 2, and Contribute 3 are affected.

    Severity Rating

    Macromedia categorizes this issue as an important update and recommends that administrators of systems supporting multiple users apply the hotfix linked below.
