AppStream partners with Arc, launches Software Asset Auditing Tool

AppStream, Inc., a leader in on-demand application deployment and management, has announced today that it has partnered with Arc Technology as an authorised integration partner for software asset audits.

Under the program, Arc will provide both technology and consulting assistance to their channel partners for the enablement of software asset audits using solutions from AppStream. By combining asset sweeps and application streaming, customers can quickly quantify their software assets and provision licenses based on corporate and EULA policy.

AppStream Inventory Manager (AIM) is a powerful and flexible inventory scanning system for both hardware and software, which can be used as an audit scanner in both deployed agent and agent-free environments. AIM can audit remote computers and even network appliances, including switches, network printers, and other IP devices. When information from AIM sweeps is incorporated into the AppStream platform during an audit period, customers can determine not only what applications are installed, but who is using them and how often. AppStream can control and provision the licenses for both streamed and conventionally installed applications, providing the optimal benefit of corporate software assets.

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

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
