Why Google and VMware should unite



Because I say so...OK kidding. Lets just get some straight facts and see what they both have in common. Forget all the biased and unbiased opinions, both of these companies

  • rock!
  • have a solid engineering base
  • are sound
  • are young (at heart and age)
  • are mean and lean
  • have (and will continue to have) ideas that could blow off all the punditry and make the *analysts* again try to figure out yet another way to blow the competition away!
  • are in need to set up a good face against Microsoft, I mean if MS doesn't like then it'll try to eat them alive.
  • are moving rapidly towards the datacenter/utility computing model and since their approach is fresh and new , they can set up a whole new standard for ways where new startups can just get on to doing business, cutting lose from the cultural boundaries which limit us from doing what we so badly should be doing (listen to what I have to say about , set yourself free/Floating identities)
and besides then I just have to send my resume to one office ;-)

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
