If you’re like me an have an older laptop that doesnt have a cd/floppy drive or the BIOS doesn’t support booting from a USB device (thumbdrive,etc), you can boot your computer from USB or CDROM using PLoP.

The PLoP Boot Manager is a small program to boot different operating systems. You can boot the operating systems from harddisk, floppy, CD/DVD or from USB. You can start the boot manager from floppy, CD, network and there are many more ways to start the boot manager. You can install the boot manager on your harddisk. There is no extra partition required for the boot manager.

The install is super simple, you just copy 2 files to the root of your cd drive ,run a command, add a PLoP entry to your boot.ini and you’re done. Now you can run all your favorite linux-on-a-stick like BackTrack3 or Barts without the need for vmware etc. More Info ::HERE::

Got this Russian-coded rootkit remover the site says its way better than blacklight or anything else.

RootkitUnhooker v3.7.300.509

Someone hacked into Twitter’s internal admin tools and compromising 33 high profile accounts, including President Elect Barack Obama,Fox News,and Britney Spears.

Here is Twitter’s official explanation:

This morning we discovered 33 Twitter accounts had been “hacked” including prominent Twitter-ers like Rick Sanchez and Barack Obama (who has not been Twittering since becoming the president elect due to transition issues). We immediately locked down the accounts and investigated the issue. Rick, Barack, and others are now back in control of their accounts.

What Happened?

The issue with these 33 accounts is different from the Phishing scam aimed at Twitter users this weekend. These accounts were compromised by an individual who hacked into some of the tools our support team uses to help people do things like edit the email address associated with their Twitter account when they can’t remember or get stuck. We considered this a very serious breach of security and immediately took the support tools offline. We’ll put them back only when they’re safe and secure.

Supposedly GMZ from the Digital Gangster forum was behind it. After his ieasy youtube hack where he just guessed Miley Cyrus’ password – “youtube”, he found out that twitter has no login rate limit.

So, he ran a bruteforce dictionary attack on one of the admin accounts “Crystal” and managed to get hold on some usernames and passwords.

Just a Happy New Years Shout out from all of us, and a site we think everyone will find useful
