Virtualization: Avastu Financial Market Report coming next month

I will be revealing our strategy in the upcoming Belgium conference as well. Our associate, Ashish Anand, a Certified Financial Market Analysis from India, reported with the following observations:

I have been collecting some data to prove that the Indian/Chinese IT industry will boom in the coming years. There is no doubt that the software sector in India will continue to grow in the coming years. Writing a paper on the same is not a problem. But the fact is that the Indian s/w giants have been rather apprehensive of late. The main reason for their apprehension is the rising rupee. Rupee is growing stronger by the day. This might lead to a drop in profit margins for Indian IT companies. The IT stocks took a beating sometime back because of this reason. Now the companies have realized this scenario and are taking necessary measures (hedging etc.) to counter this threat. In addition, the introduction of the Minimum Alternative Tax on the IT industry this year has affected the software firms. Employee stock options too have come un der fringe benefit tax regime! Now the IT companies have to pay taxes on differential gains of the employees.


This and the collected data will soon in Jan 2008.

We are also looking for (Certification is a must) analysts who cover and watch IT markets closely.

Keep watching Avastu site for its opening!

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
