Hup Holland Series!



I will be writing this "Hup Holland" series for a variety of reasons.
  • I live here some 7 (seven) odd years and I feel for my country (despite the fact that I am of Indian descent)
  • I have totally adopted the culture and am the culture has adopted me.
  • I have been past the dejection and disillusionment TO "hup holland mode"
  • I have been through all the hurdles to realize and respect of what I have and how I live
  • I want to contribute to help make my country to become a nation of excellence and not just some vacation spot for some asians (pun intended! ;-))
  • If I ever leave (I mean go to some other place , get a new job, move to afganistan because I wanna teach the kids out there or help street kids in argentina get computer savvy), I leave with pain (of parting) and not in disgust.
  • And last but not the least, I want to motivate you too! :-)
Listen to what I say about this...

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
