Trojan and Backdoor 'Ghostly' Apple Mac OS X

Two Trojan was present menginfeksi Apple Mac OS X, with the ability to download and install the code 'evil' from an attacker, and the tool hackers to create a backdoor. Trojan is called OSX.RSPlug.D were found by Intego, a security specialist Mac. Trojan is a variant of the code 'evil' old edition, but with the new installer.

"A OSX.RSPlug.D Trojan Trojan Downloader, and will contact the server to download a file that will be installed. This means, Downloader can install the payload more than ever installed. "Intego said. Trojan is the same as the previous version of Trojan, namely RSPlug, which found in October 2007. Trojan RSPlug will install the code 'evil', which is known by DNSChanger, which will play a user's Internet traffic to the DNS server 'evil', users have to make phishing websites or pages that display the ads.

Trojan OSX.RSPlug.D found on a pornographic website as the code required to play video files, a technique that is used in order to trap attacker users to download and install the code 'evil' is. Intego also find the Trojan OSX.TrojanKit.Malez and other vendors, such as Symantec and Trend Micro Trojan OSX.Lamzev.A found in Mac OS X. Trojan OSX.Lamzev.A a hacker tool designed to facilitate the attacker to install backdoor in the user's system. However, both the tool vendors have not considered such a threat hackers weight, because the hacker must be physical access to the system to install a backdoor.

According to Intego, not as Trojan horse malware and other hacker OSX.TrojanKit.Malez request for access to the first Macs to install the code 'evil'. For that, many security vendors, including Symantec and Trend Micro assess that the Mac platform is not necessarily safe for users. However, Apple is not commenting on this matter.

Lenovo ThinkPad 128 bit encryption

Lenovo, to bring new USB drives that have interesting features. USB drives are called ThinkPad Secure Portable USB Hard Drive.

Swift 3D: Vector Animation for the Web

Over the past few years, Electric Rain has been building plug-ins that allow 3D users to render files into a variety of vector file formats, including Flash SWF. Swift 3D creates scalable vector artwork for the web. Currently, the Swift 3D plug-in is available for 3D Studio Max and Lightwave and is also available as a standalone application.

There are many companies that allow the user to create 3D models and animation. Typically, the end product is a raster animation, a frame by frame rendering process. To export this animation, you would need to use an MPEG or AVI raster based format. Raster images vary in size and the amount of processing to create those frames can be considerable. The end product can create amazing results with film and video, but on the web, you’ll run into all sorts of bandwidth limitations.

If your output is a small AVI movie, that could suit your purpose, but for larger animations and effects, raster imagery is not the best approach. This where Flash and Shockwave come into play. While both are plug-ins run in your web browser, it’s important to understand the differences.

The Shockwave player has a built-in 3D rendering engine. When you build an object in 3D Studio Max or Lightwave, you can export that 3D geometry to the Shockwave format. From there, the Shockwave player interprets the data and allows you to interact with it.

Flash, on the other hand, was originally designed as a vector animation player. When you look at a cartoon in Flash, it’s composed of lines and fills, not raster imagery. These days, Macromedia has upgraded the capabilities of Flash to incorporate bitmaps, along with video and sound. But there is no 3D rendering component in the Flash player, so you can’t sent 3D geometry to it.

To maximize the use of Flash, one approach is to convert the 3D geometry to vector imagery up front, which is where the Swift 3D plug-in comes in. Another approach is to create your entire animation within the standalone application of Swift 3D.

As an example, if you built a 3D model of a film reel in 3D Studio Max, you can move it in 3D space, and create an animation of that. Once you have the animation, you would then export that to Flash, which turns the 3D image into a 2D image over a given number of frames. The animation will be redrawn as a vector animation of lines and fills. The completed animation will play sequentially in Flash, simulating 3D movement. And with vector imagery you have the advantages of file sizes and scalability, unlike an AVI file.

With raster imagery, you can generate images of excellent quality, but those textures and patterns are difficult to replicate with vector imagery.

As a plug-in, the primary purpose is for rendering and export and in 3D Studio Max, Swift 3D acts as a rendering component of the 3DS Max application and all of its functionality resides within the rendering rollout. Depending on which version of Max you’re using (4.x or 5.x), you’ll need to activate the plug-in by going to Render> Render on the main menu bar and under the Current Renderers rollout, assign the Swift 3D Max Renderer as your production and/or draft renderer.

For output, you can choose from several different formats: Swift 3D Flash Importer (SWFT), which can be read by the Swift 3D Importer for Flash MX, Macromedia Flash (SWF), Adobe Illustrator (AI), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and USAnimation (PNT).


When rendering your 3D scenes into vector files, what-you-see-is-what-you-get doesn’t necessarily apply here, since there are several different vector rendering choices with the RAViX III rendering engine.

Since last year, Nokia has a leadership position to get attacks from the touchscreen mobile phone models that thin from LG Electronics, Samsung and Apple. Nokia has prepared a mobile phone with touchscreen also given the code "Tube", in the year. (h_n)

NVIDIA 9600GT

Some would speculate, and I would agree, that in many ways the GPU world has been pretty stale over the past 2 years or so. We haven't seen any incredibly dramatic shifts in technology or even performance, but perhaps the shift from DX9 to DX9c and then to DX10 just has us spoiled. The fact that the 8800 GTX/Ultra remains the single fastest GPU on the market since November of 2006 makes us pine for the good old days of rapid change -- at least a little.

That doesn't mean that ATI/AMD or NVIDIA have been sitting still; quite to the contrary both company are continuing to find ways to remarket and resell their tweaked products, even if they are a bit too similar to previous options. When the 8600 parts launched we said then that the performance and feature advantages over the 7600 GT were few and far between and it seemed the mid-range parts, the best selling parts, were stuck in the mud. AMD started to mix things up with the release of their Radeon HD 3850 and 3870 parts and then NVIDIA's own G92-based 8800 GT cards flipped the coin again.

NVIDIA is back again with another new mid-range part, this time under the disguise of the GeForce 9000-series descriptor. The GeForce 9600 GT aims at the price point that AMD's HD 3850 sits in, from $170-$200, and will surely push their previous 8600-series cards out the door once and for all.

The New GeForce 9600 GT GPU

Codenamed G94, you can already guess that the new 9600 GT has a lot in common with the G92 aka the 8800 GT and 8800 GTS 512MB. Built on the same 65nm process technology, the G94 takes the great features of hte G92, cuts it down just a bit, and comes up with the following features:

The interesting bits start with the 64 stream processors that run at 1625 MHz on GPU core that runs at 650 MHz. If you remember, the 8800 GT had 112 SPs while the GTS had 128; the GTS SPs also ran at 1625 MHz with a 650 MHz core speed. The 9600 GT still sports a 256-bit memory bus that is used for transfer of data between it and the 512MB of GDDR3 memory that runs at 900 MHz on the card. There are 16 ROPs on the G94 giving it more than enough fill rate to power some

high end gaming titles.

Also of note is the display support on the card: all 9600 GTs will support HDCP and have the option for DisplayPort and HDMI connections. We even have a new DVI-to-HDMI adaptor to work with here, just as we did when AMD introduced it last year. Though NVIDIA's card don't have an on-board sound controller to implement audio over the HDMI, some cards will ship with a connector to attach to your audio card for HDMI pass through.

The GPU itself is comprised of 505 million transistors and is smaller than the G92 core making it easier and more cost efficient to produce. The markings on this GPU that I tested seem to show the GPU was fabbed in the second week of 2008.

Other than those features chages, NVIDIA was eager to promote some "new" features that the GeForce 9600 GT. I say "new" like that only because these features ALREADY existed on the G92 cores of the 8800 GT and GTS, they just weren't advertised as heavily. Take this compression technology that allows more efficient transfer of data from memory to the GPU - NVIDIA is comparing it to the G80 in the graph above, not G92.

Also "new" to the 9600 GT is support for an improved PureVideo HD that allows for a new feature called Dynamic Contrast and Color Enhancement. This is a software update the existing VP2 engine that exists on the G92 cards as well, and support for it should be quietly rolling back for owners of those cards soon.

Finally, its always nice to see how companies compare themselves to the competition. With the release of the 9600 GT, NVIDIA again has a sub-$200 part that they are pushing as the main competition to the AMD Radeon HD 3850 that has been so successful over the past three months.
