Indian Researcher Cracks Microsoft Anti Piracy Program

June 23rd, 2005 Zareef Ahmed No comments

PTI has reported that an Indian researcher, Bangalore-based, Debasis Mohanty,
has cracked the so-called impregnable Windows Genuine Advantage of Microsoft.

According to report, he broke WGA through an “easy-to-exploit” flaw in the software for
generating illegal copies of the Windows XP program.

WGA is an anti-piracy program that keeps an eye on consumers whether they are
running legitimately licensed copies of Windows XP.

Microsoft confirmed Mohanty’s success at cracking the WGA, yet, the world’s leading software manufacturer tried to downplay it saying, “It represents very little threat.”

A company spokesperson told PTI that they did expect hackers to try numerous methods to evade safeguards provided by WGA.

Mohanty has posted a comprehensive proof-of-concept program on the high-profile security mailing list of the software giant.

The program indicated how the WGA validation check could be tricked to generate key codes for use on illegal copies of the software, reported PTI.

Google vs PayPal

June 20th, 2005 Zareef Ahmed No comments

PayPal is one of the most popular methods of paying on the Internet without using the credit card. In fact, no cash transaction is generally involved as users can just transfer money using their e-mail ids.

However, it seems like problems are in store for them as the latest reports in claims that Search Engine Giant Google is considering entering this online payment module market. eBay (Now the owner of Paypal) is a big customer of Google’s online advertisement system and such a move can prove to be quite costly for the e-commerce giant.

The story was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
WSJ cited sources familiar to Google Inc. and are said to be quite trustworthy. Google on their part have refused to comment on these rumors floating on the Internet.

Google’s entry into the online payment system can be quite damaging for the eBay group. It collects a sizeable amount of fee for the online transactions and competition from Google would lead to depleting profits affecting the day-to-day running of the company. Google has good reasons to look into this market considering a bulk of their revenues come from the online advertisement market which is expected to get complicated with the entry of Yahoo! and possibly Microsoft services later this year.

Apple won the first stage of its legal battle against teen web editor and others

March 15th, 2005 Zareef Ahmed No comments

Computer giant Apple has won the first stage of its legal battle to force three online reporters/bloggers including a teenage boy, to reveal who gave them secret information about the company’s new products.

The company launched the fight in December last year after details of a new product – codenamed ”Asteroid” – appeared on a number of websites before they had been announced by Apple.

The teen web editor had claimed he was covered by laws that grant journalists the constitutional right to protect their sources.

But a California judge ruled it was irrelevant whether he was journalist or not, saying he had effectively stolen trade secrets. Apple is now entitled to see the e-mail records from the teen web editor and other bloggers to uncover which employee has been leaking the information.

Californian laws protect journalists from prosecution if what they are writing about can be shown to be in the public interest. But Judge James Kleinberg said: “An interested public is not the same as the public interest”.

Apple is notoriously secretive about its upcoming products.

IBM and ZEND team to accelerate development and deployment of PHP

February 25th, 2005 Zareef Ahmed No comments

IBM announced an agreement with Zend Technologies to develop the industry’s first integrated solution designed to help developers build and deploy applications and services based on the popular PHP Web language. The new solution integrates IBM’s Cloudscapedatabase based on Apache Software Foundation Derby and Zend’s open source PHP environment. This agreement further expands IBM’s investment in open source by helping developers more effectively create applications based on the technology of their choice.

Under the agreement, IBM will work with Zend, the leading provider of products and services for developing, deploying and managing business-critical PHP applications, to create ‘Zend Core for IBM.’ The product will provide the industry’s first seamless out-of-the-box, PHP development and production environment, completely supported by Zend. Zend Core for IBM will feature seamless integration with IBM’s Cloudscape database server and DB2Universal Database. IBM and Zend are also jointly working on furthering PHP technology to include improved high-level database integration frameworks and enhanced PHP Web services standards.

The availability of Zend Core for IBM will significantly enhance developer support for IBM’s Cloudscape database, as PHP is one of the most popular Web programming languages in the world. According to the research firm Netcraft, PHP currently accounts for more than 40 percent of the overall Web scripting language market. Additionally, PHP technology adopting into both small and medium-size business (SMB) and large enterprises is growing steadily. Zend and its founders are the architects of PHP and creators of the Zend Engine, the kernel of PHP.

“Our partnership with IBM further cements PHP as the language of choice for business-critical Web applications,” said Doron Gerstel, CEO and President for Zend Technologies, Inc. “Zend Core for IBM is in line with Zend’s goal of delivering both simplicity and robust functionality to Web-based applications.”

The PHPSC web site ( http://phpsec.org) provides a variety of security resources for PHP developers, including the group’s flagship project, the PHP Security Guide.

Founded in January 2005, the PHP Security Consortium (PHPSC) is an international group of PHP experts dedicated to promoting secure programming practices within the PHP community. Members of the PHPSC seek to educate PHP developers about security through a variety of resources, including documentation, tools, and standards.

In addition to their educational efforts, the PHPSC engages in exploratory and experimental research in order to develop and promote standards of best practice for PHP application development.
