San Francisco's Mayor Gets Back Keys to the Network

San Francisco's Mayor Gets Back Keys to the Network

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom met with jailed IT administrator Terry Childs Monday, convincing him to hand over the administrative passwords to the city's multimillion dollar wide area network. Childs made headlines last week when he was arrested and charged with four counts of computer tampering, after he refused to give over passwords to the Cisco Systems switches and routers used on the city's FiberWAN network, which carries about 60 percent of the municipal government's network traffic. Childs, who managed the network before his arrest, has been locked up in the county jail since July 13. On Monday afternoon, he handed the passwords over to Mayor Newsom, who was "the only person he felt he could trust," according to a declaration filed in court by his attorney, Erin Crane. Newsom is ultimately responsible for the Department of Telecommunications and Information Services (DTIS) where Childs worked for the past five years.

New Risks in 802.11n

New Risks in 802.11n

Along with the potential performance and coverage benefits of 802.11n come a few new security risks, says industry security guru Joshua Wright. Wright presented a Webinar last week that outlined several new vulnerabilities that high-speed 802.11n networks introduce.

Wright, who has spent a decade ferreting out wireless security attacks (Compare WLAN Security products), is an instructor for the SANS Institute, an information technology watchdog organization that offers information security training, certification and information resources. He’s also a senior security researcher at Aruba Networks.

Here are a few 802.11n vulnerabilities he highlighted:

Last Chance to Replace VUE Vouchers: Action Required by July 31

In 2007, Microsoft Learning announced that Microsoft professional certification and Microsoft Dynamics exams would be administered solely by Prometric, an independent testing organization with more than 3,000 locations worldwide. As of December 31, 2007, Pearson VUE no longer sells or administers any Microsoft professional certification exams or Microsoft Dynamics exams.


Pearson VUE exam vouchers can be replaced with Prometric exam vouchers through July 31, 2008. After this date, Pearson VUE exam vouchers are no longer valid.

Microsoft Cracks Down on Certification Exam Cheating
09 Jul , 2008 - 8:47 PM - by Mitzs
Microsoft is tackling certification exam cheating in a big way, with harsher penalties and a data forensics program that can find cheaters through statistical analysis of their exams.

Lifetime bans from Microsoft’s certification program will be handed down to anyone who cheats, commits fraud, or violates the non-disclosure agreements (NDA) that are designed to prevent test questions from being leaked to the public.

Under a soon-to-be released policy revision, “if you commit fraud, break the NDA, break any of our policies, it’s going to result in a lifetime ban from the Microsoft certification program,” says Peggy Crowley, the anti-piracy program manager for the Microsoft Learning department. “We used to have a year-long ban for some things and a lifetime ban for other things, and then we decided that cheating is cheating across the board, and why delineate between the two? So we decided to do a lifetime ban for all forms of cheating.”

Internet flaw could let hackers take over the Web

Internet flaw could let hackers take over the Web

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Computer industry heavyweights are hustling to fix a flaw in the foundation of the Internet that would let hackers control traffic on the World Wide Web.

Major software and hardware makers worked in secret for months to create a software "patch" released on Tuesday to repair the problem, which is in the way computers are routed to web page addresses.
"It's a very fundamental issue with how the entire addressing scheme of the Internet works," Securosis analyst Rich Mogul said in a media conference call.

"You'd have the Internet, but it wouldn't be the Internet you expect. (Hackers) would control everything."

The flaw would be a boon for "phishing" cons that involve leading people to imitation web pages of businesses such as bank or credit card companies to trick them into disclosing account numbers, passwords and other information.
