  Understanding the Web browser threat by Stefan Frei 

  http://www.techzoom.net/publications/insecurity-iceberg/index.en

  If at all, the patch level of the browser is only visible upon request. If at all, the state of auto-update (enabled/disabled/last checked) is only visible upon request. No standard or requirement for ... software vendors to make security information available in their product to the end user (e.g., display patch level or auto-update disabled). The consumer checks the expiration date before using food A consumer is free to eat food after the "best before" date expired. However, he does so at his own risk and he is aware of it. Software version information is available, but not all software packages are capable of automatically checking for updates. No restriction for a user to work with insecure, old and unsupported software. Users are typically not aware of the risk. Table 5: Comparison of the users mindset with regard to the food industry and the software industry While some may argue that more detailed version information within the Web browser USER-AGENT field makes it easier for an at   [More...] [Less...]

  5 cool wireless research projects worth checking out - Network World 

  http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/110807-wireless-research-projects.html

  A better way to do municipal wireless The meltdown of some high-profile municipal Wi-Fi projects has the industry wondering what the alternative to bringing widespread wireless access to cities might be. ... Researchers from the University of Cambridge in the U.K. and MIT say the secret to success might lie in exploiting the dense network of Wi-Fi access points already rampant in many cities. In a paper titled “Architecting Citywide Ubiquitous Wi-Fi Access,” the researchers introduce the idea of convincing current and future Wi-Fi hosts to grant access to legitimate guests whose traffic would be tunneled securely though the network and without hampering the host with any responsibility for it. “We offer this as an economically viable alternative to investing millions in new infrastructure,” the researchers write. “We argue that citywide ubiquitous Wi-Fi access can be architected at near-zero cost because the network infrastructure is already in place: A majority of city dwellers have a bro   [More...] [Less...]
