We have already heard about the story that hackers were hired to become one of the security team. Now Charlie Miller who has broken through iOS to App Store and the winner at Pwn2Own competitions will be part of Twitter security team. It is over for him to break but to defense now.
He will start his work next week. It is obvious for online companies to strengthen their security system since the more popular they are the more interesting they are and the more interesting by hackers.
It is quite precise to say that more of iPhone (mostly 4S) running on iOS 5+ are facing battery life problem with fast draining. However Apple failed to solve the problem with software update but seem like there is a tool on Cydia claimed to solve this problem with a simple tweak which is currently sold for $4.99 but it is NOT. This tweak can’t solve anything.
This tweak is called iOS 5 Battery Fix. After measuring by two iOS hackers, Dustin Howett and Sam Bringer, iOS 5 battery fix can’t do anything or solve the battery life problem.
This is what Bringer said:
There has been a lot of hype recently about a 4S ‘Battery Fix’ – DHowett found that all it does is replace /System/Library/CoreServes/powerd.bundle/com.apple.SystemPowerProfileDefaults.plist
I looked for any possible impact of this
While this sounds good… we’re changing the power settings right? The reality is that it does absolutely nothing.
We would like to recommend you to stay away from this tweak. Make sure that you won’t fall in to this kind of trap in the future.
With the increasing popularity of Android around the world, its users are increasingly learning the tricks of the system. Thanks to the hard work of programmers, hackers and developers in the various communities on Android to “root” your device, you just do a simple download, run the program and click a button. In short, to root on your phone is getting easier.
Using this program, beginners need not worry too much. The tools are safe and easy to use. It supports and Android versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. We hope that Android 4.0 will be able to root as soon as it is available widely on many Android devices.
Note: There are about 250 Android devices support this tool.
No time to wait! Google has already release source code for this OS already and of course it is a gateway for hackers to bring it on. Just a few day safter the release of Android version 4.0.3, a guy at XDA forum has managed to bring it on Motorola Xoom WiFi. Of course now Motorola Xoom can runs on Android 4.0.3.
Coming to the top security director, Ludolf Luehmann who is a director in of Shell’s IT department has claimed that hackers are willing to attack oil industry. Seem like it is a very serious problem that the World Petroleum Conference has drawn attention to this matter.
With the update of iOS 5.0.1, hackers won’t just stop there and a very quick reaction followed by a series of jailbreak software update version 2.8b10 of Sn0wbreeze. However you should know that it is tethered jailbreak which mean that you have to connect your phone to computer whenever you restart it by using iBooty tool.
It is possible to hack Siri to add more commands that you can’t find on Apple server. Some hackers are already working on changes to Siri, for now have managed to create custom commands to add the functions of Siri. It is not an easy task to get Siri respond to an unassigned command by Apple server but with great works, it is now responsive.
It was a very stunning moment for Harvard website to experience such issue. The website was hacked and an image of Syria’s President Bashar Assad were posted on the home page with a message telling that U.S. is against Syria’s President and willing to threaten retaliation.
Nothing much was claimed lost but it is only the sign of the beginning since there is a message left by the hackers saying that “Syrian Electronic Army Were Here.”
Hackers have decided the sequence of ideas. The last original date manipulation is to install Chrome OS, the operating system for computers Google on a MacBook Air. Installation is relatively easy since it suffices to start the installation of Mac OS X, launch the Terminal and install Chrome OS via a few lines of command.
In 2011, Sony Ericsson has decided to offer its customers the ability to unlock the bootloader. This ability only works with entire 2011 range but the 2010 models do not support. Depending on the brand, it would require discussions with operators for a model released one year ago. Rumours suggesting that the Xperia X10 could also benefit from this feature in the upgrade to Gingerbread but unfortunately the manufacturer has denied.
