Isolator ++ (Easy Unit Testing for C++)

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 7/06/2011 10:57:00 pm


Typemock, the leading provider and pioneer of easy unit testing solutions announced today the launch of Isolator++ for Linux. Isolator++ for Linux enables easy unit testing of C++ on the Linux distributions, Ubuntu, Fedora (Red Hat) and SUSE (Novell). This release marks Typemock’s ability to offer unit testing tools and mocking frameworks for multiple platforms and enable organizations that work on Windows and Linux to benefit from one solution for both platforms. 
Isolator++ for Linux enables unit testing – the foundation of agile development - of any C/ C++ code (including complex code such as statics, globals and non virtual method) by allowing the test to intercept and fake behaviours. The API is specifically designed to make tests more concise, more resistant to production code changes and easier to understand for new users which ensures that time is not wasted re-writing unit tests. It also protects the code from regression bugs and allows organizations to feel confident that their final product meets industry standards. Isolator++ for Linux enables developers to fake any part of the code seamlessly, without the need to redesign for testability as opposed to other unit testing solutions that require many sections of code to be re-written in order to be testable. It replaces the need for manual validation with automatic C++ unit tests. This ensures full code integrity before the code reaches QA. The launch of Isolator++ for Linux demonstrates Typemock’s ability to now offer multi-platform easy unit testing solutions for both Linux developers in addition to Windows C++ and .NET. This gives organizations the flexibility to implement unit testing practices in any of these development environments.
 “We’re very excited to help Linux developers unit test and perform TDD easily.” commented Eli Lopian Typemock‘s founder and CEO. “Following the success of our Windows .NET and C++ Isolation Frameworks and with an increasing number of developers and organizations using the Linux platform we’re delighted to now offer a single multi-platform solution that removes the complexities and friction of testing code.”

With today’s high demand for smart phones and other advanced technologies the use of C++ is on the rise. Writing correct, secure, code is imperative, especially for the military, avionics, automotive and medical device industries where an error in the code can be critical. Isolator++ for Linux will ensure that the final product surpasses all regulatory requirements.

Lulzec released their final Message for the friends around the whole spectrum
Anon also twited About this Messages:-

 

The Message of Lulzsec Follows:-

"Friends around the globe, We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us. For the past 50 days we’ve been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could. All to selflessly entertain others – vanity, fame, recognition, all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy. It’s what we all crave, even the seemingly lifeless politicians and emotionless, middle-aged self-titled failures. You are not failures. You have not blown away. You can get what you want and you are worth having it, believe in yourself. While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to this identity permanently. Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people. People with a preference for music, a preference for food; we have varying taste in clothes and television, we are just like you. Even Hitler and Osama Bin Laden had these unique variations and style, and isn’t that interesting to know? The mediocre painter turned supervillain liked cats more than we did. Again, behind the mask …"

Spammers are Exploiting Google+

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 7/06/2011 02:57:00 pm


Scammers have begun exploiting the launch of Google’s new Google+ social network, with a growing raft of spam emails that imitate Google+ invitations. Google+ is currently still in the testing phase following its launch last week, and users need to be invited by another Google+ member before they can sign up.

Fake invitations:-

However, some of those Google+ invitations are fake, and their links direct traffic to an online business called Canadian Family Pharmacy, which sells Viagra, according to Sophos. Sophos said the emails, distributed by a Canadian hacking group called Partnerka, look authentic.
“The spammers are no doubt hoping that the email will be hard to resist, as many people are eager to see what is being billed as Google’s answer to Facebook,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, in a statement. “Research shows that last year alone, 36 million Americans bought drugs from online pharmacies, so this is a technique that is clearly continuing to work for spammers.”
Overall the scam is “amateur” in that it makes no attempt to use a site that looks like Google+ to harvest users’ personal information, Sophos said. While Facebook doesn’t allow friends lists to be exported to Google+, an extension is now available for Google’s Chrome browser that allows users to export friends data in a format that can be imported into Google+. Facebook has, however, begun modifying accounts to prevent the tool from working, according to Mohamed Mansour, who developed the Facebook Friend Exporter tool.

Google’s answer to Facebook:-

Google unveiled Google+ last week as its answer to Facebook, which has racked up some 700 million users in six-plus years. Seizing on the market leader’s seemingly cavalier attitude toward user privacy, Google envisions Google+ as a more nuanced approach to social networking that tries to give users complete control over what content they share online and with whom they share it. Available to users by invitation only for now, Google+ comprises four major components: Circles, Sparks, Hangouts and mobile, which includes instant photo and video uploads and group messaging.
Social Circles has been rumoured since March, and was at the centre of a clumsy smear campaign by Facebook which attempted to brand Google’s privacy as poor. Circles is a sharing service that lets users add circles, or groups of users united by common interests by dragging and dropping their profiles into a circle. Circles could include family, friends and colleagues.

Wikileaks Will Take Legal Action Against PayPal, MasterCard & Visa

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 7/06/2011 01:24:00 am


There hasn't been much talk lately over the fact that PayPal, MasterCard and Visa all cut off Wikileaks late last year, after the US government freaked out about the release of some State Department Cables. None of the firms has done a very good job explaining why this makes sense (or why they continue to allow other groups, such as the KKK to receive funding, while singling out Wikileaks). I'm sure those three firms, which took quite a public bashing when the news originally dropped, would prefer that there not be any more talk about it. However, Wikileaks and the payment firm they used, DataCell, are apparently planning to file a legal complaintthis week against all three firms in Europe. A draft of the complaint, which was obtained by Andy Greenberg at Forbes (linked above and embedded below), claims that the three firms violated Articles 101 and 102 of the EU Treaty, effectively a form of antitrust law. While I tend to think many antitrust claims are merely attacks on successful companies, this seems like a case where they could make sense. Here you have basically the only three ways for most people to transfer money easily, all agreeing to block a single (small) client from receiving money, despite no legal ruling against the operation (hell, charges haven't even been filed). It certainly would make for an interesting case.

TDL is Targeting Windows PC, Experts are saying that "it is almost indestructible"

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 7/05/2011 10:05:00 pm


More than four million PCs have been enrolled in a botnet security experts say is almost "indestructible". The botnet, known as TDL, targets Windows PCs and is difficult to detect and shut down. targeting
Code that hijacks a PC hides in places security software rarely looks and the botnet is controlled using custom-made encryption.
Security researchers said recent botnet shutdowns had made TDL's controllers harden it against investigation.
The 4.5 million PCs have become victims over the last three months following the appearance of the fourth version of the TDL virus. The changes introduced in TDL-4 made it the "most sophisticated threat today," wrote Kaspersky Labs security researchers Sergey Golovanov and Igor Soumenkov in a detailed analysis of the virus. "The owners of TDL are essentially trying to create an 'indestructible' botnet that is protected against attacks, competitors, and anti-virus companies," wrote the researchers.
Recent successes by security companies and law enforcement against botnets have led to spam levels dropping to about 75% of all e-mail sent, shows analysis by Symantec.
A botnet is a network of computers that have been infected by a virus that allows a hi-tech criminal to use them remotely. Often botnet controllers steal data from victims' PCs or use the machines to send out spam or carry out other attacks.
The TDL virus spreads via booby-trapped websites and infects a machine by exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. The virus has been found lurking on sites offering porn and pirated movies as well as those that let people store video and image files. The virus installs itself in a system file known as the master boot record. This holds the list of instructions to get a computer started and is a good place to hide because it is rarely scanned by standard anti-virus programs.
The biggest proportion of victims, 28%, are in the US but significant numbers are in India (7%) and the UK (5%). Smaller numbers, 3%, are found in France, Germany and Canada.
However, wrote the researchers, it is the way the botnet operates that makes it so hard to tackle and shut down.
The makers of TDL-4 have cooked up their own encryption system to protect communication between those controlling the botnet. This makes it hard to do any significant analysis of traffic between hijacked PCs and the botnet's controllers.
In addition, TDL-4 sends out instructions to infected machines using a public peer-to-peer network rather than centralised command systems. This foils analysis because it removes the need for command servers that regularly communicate with infected machines.
"For all intents and purposes, [TDL-4] is very tough to remove," said Joe Stewart, director of malware research at Dell SecureWorks to Computerworld. "It's definitely one of the most sophisticated botnets out there."
However, the sophistication of TDL-4 might aid in its downfall, said the Kaspersky researchers who found bugs in the complex code. This let them pry on databases logging how many infections TDL-4 had racked up and was aiding their investigation into its creators.

Google, Microsoft & Yahoo are looking to buy Hulu

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 7/05/2011 07:24:00 pm


Elisa Schreiber, a spokesman for Hulu was contacted and asked to comment on the subject of the potential sale. She declined to reveal any information regarding the transaction of the company. The spokesmen for the potential buyers, Microsoft, Google and Yahoo!, would not comment on the matter, either. The experts say that if Hulu were to be bought by any of the mentioned companies it would be improved. A new owner could equip it with a better monetary foundation.
Hulu was founded in March 12, 2008 and has its headquarters in Los Angeles, California. Its services cover the area of the United States and its overseas territories. It distributes video on its own website but also on other websites. It also allows its users to embed its videos in their websites. Hulu’s content includes programs from TV channels such as NBC, ABC, FOX, MSNBC, CNBC, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon and National Geographic Channel, as well as a large number of movies. Since November 2009, Hulu is also distributing music. It signed partnerships with record labels in order to host music videos and concerts. Among the partners, there are EMI (since November 2009) and Warner Music Group (December 2009). Hulu can be followed on TV, on computers, on tablets or on smart phones.
