Information Concept launches Cloud Computing Practice 

Information Concepts is pleased to
announce the formation of its Cloud Computing practice.


Customers who take advantage of this offering will lower their operational
costs by leveraging large computing resources from Google and other providers
to deploy and run web applications.  Solutions will offer instant scalability
to unlimited users with no upfront hardware or licensing costs.


"This is the next major paradigm shift in architecting custom software
solutions," said Wayne Beekman, Co-founder of Information Concepts, "By
launching this practice, we are positioning ourselves to be the go-to firm for
developing applications that use Cloud Computing offerings from Google,
Amazon, and Microsoft."


Information Concepts has defined the cloud computing market into 3
segments, Application, Platform, and Infrastructure Services. The initial
direction of this practice is to create solutions using Platform services from
Google and Infrastructure Services from Amazon.


This solution will eliminate the need for Information Concepts' clients to
procure and provision web servers to roll out new applications. This will save
thousands of dollars in hardware, licensing, and operational costs.
Information Concepts' baseline architecture maintains corporate data within
the customer's data centers and uses XML-Based Web Services to connect the
cloud platform to the corporate data bases.

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
