About time this. I AM going to see Diane next year, even if I have to walk backwords on my toes!!! I have miseed 2006 and 2007 (both time I have been in Africa, still blogging from Africa BTW) and will not miss this one, come what may!


VMware, Inc., the virtualization leader, today announced the first annual VMworld Europe conference will be held in Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Cannes, France from 26th-28th February 2008. The event will showcase the continual innovation and thinking that is changing the way that organisations around the world are building, deploying and managing their IT infrastructures. It will also provide a platform for visitors to interact with the customers, partners and technologists who are shaping the industry.

VMworld Europe 2008 will follow similar format as the VMworld conference in the US, the world’s largest virtualization event, and is expected to attract customers, partners, researchers, academia, press and analysts from around Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The event will also incorporate VMware TSX Europe, the company’s annual technical symposium, making it ideal for attendees of all levels of experience in virtualization; from business decision-makers to technical experts and systems architects.

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
