The iPhones’s are Vulnerable !!! Safari exploit gives hackers complete control over the iPhone.

The most awaited phone of the year. People queued up for it, like they would never lay their hands on the gadget, if they weren’t the first at the crack of dawn to get hold of the IPhone ….


So what have we here???? The a vulnerable piece of hardware, whose creators boasted of more than 200 patents tagged to the device .. Mr. Jobs !!!! 200 !!! & of all things the Browser’s gotta give way

The vulnerability is thanks to the Safari Exploit, which allows the iPhone to run malicious scripts on the phone. The browser has a feature to automatically execute a file, when the extension of the file is “safe”. These files could be inside ziped archive. Now all the hacker does is rename his script to a .safe extension & viola the script is executed.

Once in the phone, the hacker’s got complete administrative access over the phone. Nothing seems to be safe once that’s been granted to the hacker. Robbing the phone of the SMS log, e-mail & other passwords stored on the phone, address book, the complete log of the Calls. Loads of stuff that I would not like someone to steal of my phone .

Apple’s been notified of this & we hope to get some response real soon .. Till then have a look at the safety tips that apple has posted when dealing with mail attachments. The link, CLICK HERE

Multiple Instances of Google Talk On The Same Machine At The Same Time

Google Talk allows you to run only one instance of it, at a time on a single PC. There are times when we have multiple Google accounts and basically wanna run 2 or more instances of Google Talk on the same machine.

The simple and effective way to do it is by not enabling a mutex when Gtalk is started in the first instance.

The method to do it

1) Left Click your mouse on the desktop to bring up the contextual window.

2) Highlight the new option.

3) A Sub menu comes up, where you would find a menu item called Shortcut

4) Click on it.

5) Now a window pops up & there would be a text field that you would need to fill, this basically is the location of Google Talk on your machine.

6) If you can find the exe on your machine great, or else paste the following text

7) "C:\ Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex

8) I am assuming that you have installed Google talk in the default directory.

9) Click NEXT

10) Now change the name of the Shortcut to whatever you feel like, Ex googletalk_multiple.

11) Click Finish


Viola, your done :-) Now every time you click the shortcut, a new instance of Google talk starts up, for you to login to as many multiple users as you need to.

Dark_AleX Has decided to quit :-(

This is terrible news to the PSP Community. Dark-Alex Has decided to move out of the PSP HomeBrew scene.

This is what he had to say

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bye, scene.

I've decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene.
The reasons are various.
One of them is the time it consumes, which i'm losing from other things.
The other is related to my security. I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers.
I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks like Sony means business. They don't wanna have the Great Ones working on things that they created. It really is terrible. I just hope Fanjita doesn't move out all of a sudden.

I have a feeling the reason why Sony decided to push Dark-AleX to the corner was because, in selling a PSP Sony actually makes a loss on the Hardware & the place they earn revenue is through the games that are sold. With people pirating games rampantly, the work of people like Dark-AleX and Fanjita are getting screwed.

I just hope he decides to come back soon. The PSP Scene is like half dead without him. The other half of the life is Fanjita. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a completely dead platform.

I still don't get it with,what does he mean by saying " I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers ". What's with the PS3 Hackers and him ???? The Sony menaces, I guess is Sony trying to bring about a lawsuit against him, but if they had to they could have done it a ong time back. I guess it's with them threatening him. Blast those Japaneese Dorks.

Anyways Thanks a lot Alejandro, the one & only Dark-AleX.

PS: I hope I'm not copyright violating by putting up the Logo of Dark-AleX's website. It's just that I appreciate all that he has done for us & it's a mark of rememberance.
