Apache Breach

Wow, what a great report on the post mortem of the Apache breach.

Moblin secures X

Some good news about Linux and X. From the Moblin blog, a fix for the security hole that requires X to run as root has been fixed. Now X can run as the unprivileged user. The technology called NRX was developed my Intel, Red Hat and others.

Wireless Keyboard Sniffing

Remote-Exploit has released a hardware/software solution to sniff wireless keyboards as they are used, and can log the keystrokes. A very very cool project, and another reason I do not use wireless keyboards.

Currently support is for MS keyboads, but Logitech is coming soon. Since this is more than a software solution, you would need to build your own board or wait till they offer the sale of prefabed solutions. And as of right now, you cannot even download the source for the software, but will be able to soon.
