    Cross-Platform Analysis of Indirect File Leaks in Android and iOS Applications Daoyuan Wu and Rocky K. C. Chang Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University fcsdwu, [email protected] This paper was published in IEEE Mobile Security Technologies 2015 [47] with the original title of “Indirect File Leaks in Mobile Applications”. Victim App Abstract—Today, much of our sensitive information is stored inside mobile applications (apps), such as the browsing histories and chatting logs. To safeguard these privacy files, modern mobile Other systems, notably Android and iOS, use sandboxes to isolate apps’ components file zones from one another. However, we show in this paper that these private files can still be leaked by indirectly exploiting components that are trusted by the victim apps. In particular, Adversary Deputy Trusted we devise new indirect file leak (IFL) attacks that exploit browser (a) (d) parties interfaces, command interpreters, and embedded app servers to leak data from very popular apps, such as Evernote and QQ. Unlike the previous attacks, we demonstrate that these IFLs can Private files affect both Android and iOS. Moreover, our IFL methods allow (s) an adversary to launch the attacks remotely, without implanting malicious apps in victim’s smartphones. We finally compare the impacts of four different types of IFL attacks on Android and Fig. 1.

  • Resurrect Your Old PC
    Resurrect your old PCs Resurrect your old PC Nostalgic for your old beige boxes? Don’t let them gather dust! Proprietary OSes force users to upgrade hardware much sooner than necessary: Neil Bothwick highlights some great ways to make your pensioned-off PCs earn their keep. ardware performance is constantly improving, and it is only natural to want the best, so we upgrade our H system from time to time and leave the old ones behind, considering them obsolete. But you don’t usually need the latest and greatest, it was only a few years ago that people were running perfectly usable systems on 500MHz CPUs and drooling over the prospect that a 1GHz CPU might actually be available quite soon. I can imagine someone writing a similar article, ten years from now, about what to do with that slow, old 4GHz eight-core system that is now gathering dust. That’s what we aim to do here, show you how you can put that old hardware to good use instead of consigning it to the scrapheap. So what are we talking about when we say older computers? The sort of spec that was popular around the turn of the century. OK, while that may be true, it does make it seem like we are talking about really old hardware. A typical entry-level machine from six or seven years ago would have had something like an 800MHz processor, Pentium 3 or similar, 128MB of RAM and a 20- 30GB hard disk. The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because that’s what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my loft, right next to my faithful old – but non-functioning – Amiga 4000.

  • Easy Slackware
    1 Создание легкой системы на базе Slackware I - Введение Slackware пользуется заслуженной популярностью как классический linux дистрибутив, и поговорка "кто знает Red Hat тот знает только Red Hat, кто знает Slackware тот знает linux" несмотря на явный снобизм поклонников "бога Патре­ га" все же имеет под собой основания. Одним из преимуществ Slackware является возможность простого создания на ее основе практически любой системы, в том числе быстрой и легкой десктопной, о чем далее и пойдет речь. Есть дис­ трибутивы, клоны Slackware, созданные именно с этой целью, типа Аbsolute, но все же лучше создавать систему под себя, с максимальным учетом именно своих потребностей, и Slackware пожалуй как никакой другой дистрибутив подходит именно для этой цели. Легкость и быстрота системы определяется выбором WM (DM) , набором программ и оптимизацией программ и системы в целом. Первое исключает KDE, Gnome, даже новые версии XFCЕ, остается разве что LXDE, но набор программ в нем совершенно не устраивает. Оптимизация наиболее часто используемых про­ грамм и нескольких базовых системных пакетов осуществляется их сборкой из сорцов компилятором, оптимизированным именно под Ваш комп, причем каж­ дая программа конфигурируется исходя из Ваших потребностей к ее возможно­ стям. Оптимизация системы в целом осуществляется ее настройкой согласно спе­ цифическим требованиям к десктопу. Такой подход был выбран по банальной причине, возиться с gentoo нет ни­ какого желания, комп все таки создан для того чтобы им пользоваться, а не для компиляции программ, в тоже время у каждого есть минимальный набор из не­ большого количества наиболее часто используемых программ, на которые стоит потратить некоторое, не такое уж большое, время, чтобы довести их до ума. Кро­ ме того, такой подход позволяет иметь самые свежие версии наиболее часто ис­ пользуемых программ.

AVEZ-VOUS BESOIN DE CE LIVRE ? Vous devriez lire ce livre si vous voulez développer pour KDE. Nous utilisons le terme développement très largement pour couvrir tout ce qui peut conduire à un changement dans le code source, ce qui inclut : Soumettre une correction de bogue Écrire une nouvelle application optimisée par la technologie KDE Contribuer à un projet existant Ajouter de la fonctionnalité aux bibliothèques de développement de KDE Dans ce livre, nous vous livrerons les bases dont vous avez besoin pour être un développeur productif. Nous décrirons les outils que vous devrez installer, montrer comment lire la documentation (et écrire la vôtre propre, une fois que vous aurez créé la nouvelle fonctionnalité !) et comment obtenir de l'aide par d'autres moyens. Nous vous présenterons la communauté KDE, qui est essentielle pour comprendre KDE parce que nous sommes un projet « open source », libre (gratuit). Les utilisateurs finaux du logiciel n'ont PAS besoin de ce livre ! Cependant, ils pourraient le trouver intéressant pour les aider à comprendre comment les logiciels complexes et riches en fonctionnalités qu'ils utilisent ont vu le jour. 3 2. LA PHILOSOPHIE DE KDE Le succès de KDE repose sur une vue globale, que nous avons trouvée à la fois pratique et motivante. Les éléments de cette philosophie de développement comprennent : L'utilisation des outils disponibles plutôt que de ré-inventer ceux existants : beaucoup des bases dont vous avez besoin pour travailler font déjà partie de KDE, comme les bibliothèques principales ou les « Kparts », et sont tout à fait au point.

  • Gestión De Respaldos En Debian
    Gestión de respaldos en Debian Los ordenadores en algún momento fallan o errores humanos causan daños al sistema y los datos. Las operaciones de copia de seguridad y recuperación son una parte esencial de la administración del sistema para que el mismo se recupere después de un fallo y siga funcionando correctamente. Para ello, existen tres puntos clave a tener en cuenta para determina la política del respaldo. 1. Saber qué debemos respaldar. 2. Saber cómo respaldar y recuperar en caso de fallo. 3. Evaluación de riesgos y costos involucrados. Debemos respaldar los siguientes archivos: Archivos de datos directamente creados por el usuario: datos en "~/". Archivos de datos creados por las aplicaciones utilizadas: datos en "/var/", exceptuando "/var/cache/", "/var/run/", y "/var/tmp/". Archivos de configuración del sistema: datos en “/etc/”. Softwares locales: datos en “/usr/local/” o “/opt/”. Información de instalación del sistema: un archivo de texto sin formato con los pasos claves (particiones, etc). Demostración del conjunto de datos: confirmado por las operaciones de recuperación experimentales realizadas con antelación. Al realizar el respaldo, debemos tener en cuenta los siguientes puntos: El almacenamiento seguro de datos: protección sobre los fallos de sistema y la sobreescritura. Realizar copias de seguridad frecuentes: de forma programada. La copia de seguridad debe ser redundante: duplicación de datos (data mirroring). El proceso debe ser fácil: en lo posible que requiera solo un comando para la copia de seguridad. Debemos realizar una evaluación del proceso a utilizar: Valor de los datos en caso de pérdidas. Los recursos necesarios para la copia de seguridad: usuario, hardware y software.

    IDC White Paper | Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption IDC ANALYZE THE FUTURE Sponsored by: Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption Oracle Corp. IDC OPINION Authors: Ashish Nadkarni Cloud has become a crucial foundation for digital transformation (DX) initiatives and Gary Chen is shaping the IT strategy of enterprises today. Companies are extending their IT February 2018 infrastructure into the cloud for running business-critical applications, developing new applications, and delivering new cloud-based services. Applications are the lifeblood of modern enterprises. They are the foundation on which businesses maintain their existing revenue streams while examining ways to create new ones. A sound application strategy is a must for frms to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation in the digital economy. Operating systems (OSs) provide a common foundational layer that enables IT to run current and new generations of applications in traditional IT environments, on its own private cloud, and in public clouds and utilize a variety of computing options such as bare metal, virtualization, and containerization. The increased reliance of IT on the cloud has accelerated the adoption of open source operating systems, Linux being the chief among them. Over the past decade, Linux has evolved to be a versatile platform for current- and new-generation applications — a platform that can run in the cloud or on-premises and can include open source tools and frameworks used in modern application development.
