PS3 got hacked
One of the best man on earth, surprised everyone with his exploit which can hack the Play Station 3. That man is GeoHot, the famouse guy who have hacked all iphone firmwares so far, and the author of blackra1n jailbrake and unlock.
On January 26, he published on his bog, that he achived to disable one of the most powerfull any hacking system so far, Hypervisor. the PS3 allows users to run ordinary Linux if they wish, but it still runs under management by the hypervisor. The hypervisor does not allow the Linux kernel to access various devices, such as the GPU. If a way was found to compromise the hypervisor, direct access to the hardware is possible, and other less privileged code could be monitored and controlled by the attacker.
Hacking the hypervisor is not the only step required to run pirated games. Each game has an encryption key stored in an area of the disc called ROM Mark. The drive firmware reads this key and supplies it to the hypervisor to use to decrypt the game during loading. The hypervisor would need to be subverted to reveal this key for each game.
“Basically, I used hardware to open a small hole and then used software to make the hole the size of the system to get full read/write access,” Hotz told The Register. “Right now, although the system is broken, I have great power. I can make the system do whatever I want.”
This is a great news, and even that i dont own a PS3, now im thinking about buying one. I cant aford buying those expensive games, but its just a matter of time when we all will have the chance to run and play pirated games on the Play Station 3. For sure we can all download very soon software which will do the needed modification on the PS3 firmware. We’re looking forward for that, and it will be a honor to notify our visitors about this.

Clean iframe virus
Long time ago my website was infected by a iframe worm, which was infecting my visitors PC while they were visiting my site. This problem coused me very trouble, because i suddenly lost 90% of my visitors. The problem usually comes if you HOSTING company is infected with such worm (that why i recommand you to select the hosting company carefully) or someone has your FTP password (and i also recommand to change it right now from a virus clean computer)
There is no script in PHP or HTML that can protect you from such atacks, however if you are already infected, there is a script which will help you to clean your host very easily from Iframe in indexes on all directories. Copy this code on a file named clean on your host:
<?php
$filename = $_GET["s"];
$content_pattern = $_GET["c"];
echo "Searching for $content_pattern in ".$filename."</br>";
//define the path as relative
$path = ".";
$webpath ="Type your domain name here. Eg:http://www.diovo.com/";
//using the opendir function
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
echo "Directory Listing of $path<br/>";
list_dir($dir_handle,$path,$filename,$content_pattern);
function list_dir($dir_handle,$path,$filename_pattern,$content_pattern)
{
// print_r ($dir_handle);
echo "<ol>";
//running the while loop
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
$dir =$path.'/'.$file;
if(is_dir($dir) && $file != '.' && $file !='..' )
{
$handle = @opendir($dir) or die("undable to open file $file");
list_dir($handle, $dir, $filename_pattern, $content_pattern);
}elseif($file != '.' && $file !='..')
{
if(strcmp("$file", "$filename_pattern")==0){
echo "<li><a href='$webpath.$dir'>$webpath.$dir</a></li>";
$handle = @fopen($dir, "r");
if ($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) {
$content = fgets($handle);
$test = stristr($content, $content_pattern);
echo $test;
}
fclose($handle);
}
}
}
}
echo "</ol>";
closedir($dir_handle);
}
?>
Now access your site from a URL like this http://www.xxx.com/clean.php?s=index.php&c=iframe, where xxx is your site domain. The S tells the clean code where to Search for the virus and the C tell what to clean. In our case we need to search for index.php files and clean from them the iframe code

Magic Jack for cell phone
The company that sells Magic Jack, which allows users to make phone calls through the internet, now has something new to offer to consumers.
A new version of Magic Jack, which costs $40, will go to the market in next four months. The device allows users to make phone calls from their cell phones without having to pay any fee to the cell phone carrier.
Like the current version of Magic Jack, phone calls do not go through any landline or any wireless carrier’s connection. Because of this, users can call others in the United States and Canada without paying anything to cell phone companies.
The Magic Jack will work on the cell phones that subscribe to the services provided by AT&T Inc. and T-mobile USA which use the GSM standard, but not Version Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp which do not connect to Magic Jack.
U.S. wireless carriers have been selling devices called femtocells similar to the wireless Magic Jack. Femtocells use the carrier’s licensed spectrum just like Magic Jack to connect a phone call and route the call to a home broadband internet connection like cable or DSL connections. But these are more complex devices compared to Magic Jack.
CEO Dan Borislow, YMAX, the manufacturer based out of Palm Beach, Florida was cited as saying that the new electronic instrument is legal. The federal Trade Commission and wireless carriers have not responded to the news released this week at the International Consumers Electronics Show.
