Researchers pooh-pooh Mac OS X Leopard security | |

The first independent reviews of the security enhancements in Mac OS X Leopard are in — and they’re not entirely pleasant for the folks in Cupertino. First up is Heise Security’s takedown of the new application-based firewall in Leopard, which Apple promises will specify the behavior of specific applications to either allow or block incoming connections. The new firewall in Leopard isn’t the only security feature being pooh-poohed by security researchers. According to Thomas Ptacek (right), co-founder of Matasano Security, Apple’s implementation of memory randomization in Leopard doesn’t make the operating system immune from virus and worm attacks. For starters, Ptacek found that the dynamic linker library (dyld) is not randomized. “From what I can tell, ten different Leopard Macs booted at ten different times will have the same offset to dyld,” Ptacek said in a first-take on Leopard security. | ||

Political passions http://www.coachoutletstoreinoa.com/ are running high in Turkey. In less than three weeks, the country is expected to go to the polls http://www.coachfactoryoutletmsna.com/ in nationwide elections. Though voters will be electing town and city mayors in a series of municipal elections, http://www.coachoutletonlinemu.com/ the contest is widely seen as a referendum on http://www.coachoutletonlineben.com/ Turkey's long-serving prime minister.Erdogan has been on the political http://www.coachfactoryoutletsnai.com/ defensive since December, when police detained dozens of people close to his government as part of a wide-ranging http://www.coachfactoryoutletmona.com/ corruption probe.In subsequent weeks, the prime minister http://www.coachfactoryoutletori.com/ dismissed thousands of police commanders, as well as the prosecutors leading http://www.coachfactoryoutletnos.net/ the investigation.He has also mounted a media offensive against his former political ally, http://www.louisvuittonoutletina.com/ the powerful Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, http://www.coachfactoryoutletenm.net/ who lives in self-imposed exile in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. http://www.michaelkorsoutletic.com/ Erdogan has repeatedly accused Gulen and his supporters of establishing a " http://www.coachouteltmon.net/ parallel state" within the Turkish police and judiciary aimed at toppling his http://www.coachfactoryoutletenm.com/ democratically-elected government. http://www.coachoutletboc.com/ As the corruption probe ground to a halt, anonymous critics began http://www.louisvuittonoutletine.com/ publishing a series of audio recordings online http://www.michaelkorsoutletnio.com/ that appear to be wiretaps of Erdogan's telephone conversations.
Erdogan has denounced some of the recordings, http://www.coachoutletstoreenm.com/ calling them "immorally edited material." But the prime minister has also http://www.michaelkorsetoutletbeo.com/ confirmed the authenticity of at least one recording, http://www.coachoutletstorecos.com/ in which he is overheard instructing the executive of a Turkish TV channel to censor the live broadcast http://www.coachoutletonlincaen.com/ of a rival politician's speech in parliament.On Tuesday night, Elvan's body lay in a "cemevi," the house of worship http://www.chaneloutletmobai.com/ of the Alevi religious sect to which he belongs. http://www.truereligionjeansftc.com/ The boy is expected to be buried following a funeral service on Wednesday.In the meantime, activists have called for symbolic funeral protests to be held in other cities across Turkey. http://www.truereligionjeansct.com/ More than 100 Turkish riot police walled off the center of Istanbul's busy Taksim Square on Tuesday evening, http://www.truereligionjeanssi.com/ in a clear effort to prevent demonstrators from http://www.michaelkorsets.com/ gathering in the heart of the city. |
