Wireless Network Watcher – keep an eye on who uses your WiFi

Wireless Network Connections are often at risk of being accessed by unauthorized personnel at office or home, when not properly secured. Even if you have secured your network, still there are WiFi scanners which can brute force into the network and allow others to use it. The first thing to do is keep an eye on your Wireless network to see that only your authorized devices use it. Nearlly all WiFi routers have a Client or DNS IP allocation list to tell you that who is connected to Wireless but that option is not very handy for normal users or lacking some user friendly information to track down the culprit. Wirelss Network Watcher gives you that information very easily. Wireless Network Watcher is a portable tool which scans a wireless network to displays the list of all...

Mac batteries could be hot tool for hackers

Charlie Miller / AccuvantaBy Suzanne ChoneyWe worry a lot about our computers' — and increasingly our phones' — security vulnerabilities. But how could a laptop's battery be used for malware or other mischief?aIt might, at least in some Mac batteries, according to security researcher Charlie Miller, who has previously discovered exploits in iPhones and iPads as well as the Android mobile operating system.aMiller says modern batteries in laptops like MacBooks, MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs have an embedded chip to help the batteries perform more efficiently. But those chips have default passwords that could be easy for a hacker to figure out, he says, then potentially plant malware that infects the laptop. Troublemakers could even mess with the battery itself to the point it catches...

Baidu’s new browser seems oddly reminiscent

By the looks of things the folks over at Google.inc wont be too happy about Baidu’s latest browser offering. Let’s just say it looks an awful lot like a browser we’ve seen before. *cough*Chrome*cough* This new browser from Baidu is said to bring a “sleek, stripped down interface” and most probably took a leaf out of Google’s chromium handbook.

What sets them apart is they claim to have over 30,000 apps in addition to china specific entertainment features. About Nabil...

More knowledge 'stolen' for the good of science

Look Out, Facebook! Google+ Hits 18 Million Users

Could Facebook go the way of MySpace? A new report indicates that Google+, the new social -networking site from the search giant, has acquired about 18 million users in its first three weeks -- a growth rate that could make it a major competitor to the world's largest social-networking site.
