Orbit Downloader executes DDoS attack, claims ESET
25/08/2013 05:14 PM Posted by: ZiNgA BuRgA in Tech News
Heads up for those using this application.

Quote:Researchers at security software company ESET have found a remotely-updating DDOS functionality built into a popular Windows download manager, Orbit Downloader.

The DDOS function appears to have been in the program for some time. When the orbitdm.exe program is run, it starts a series of communications with the servers at orbitdownloader.com, the end result of which is that the client system silently downloads via HTTP a Win32 PE DLL and a configuration file containing a list of URLs and a randomly-generated IP address for each.

This program and the list are used to conduct either a SYN flood attack or a wave of HTTP connection requests on port 80 (the HTTP port) and UDP datagrams on port 53 (DNS). The IP address that accompanied the URL in the config file is used as the source address for the attack.

[...]

ESET expresses surprise that such an attack would be included in such a popular program. It is a distinct possibility that the company's web site has been compromised by an outside attacker who is using it and the software unbeknownst to the proprietors of Orbit Downloader.

At the time of this writing, a vulnerable version (4.1.1.18) was still available for download on the company's site, and the URLs used for downloading the attack code and config file were still live.

 PPSSPP - PSP emulator for all platforms
12/08/2013 01:05 AM Posted by: Grey Ghost in PSP News
Hey guys don't know if you have already seen this...

I really don't know how it flew under my radar for so long.

Introducing PPSSPP. A PSP emulator for Windows, MAC, Linux, Android, iSO and much more.

This emulator is goddam INSANE. It allows you to play in HD resolutions, crank up the anisotropic and anti aliasing filtering plus the texture scaling.That's right you can play PSP games in native resolution. It's just the best thing.

I've had no trouble playing pretty much all my old games at full speed and with my PS3 controller acting as a game pad!

I've tried loads of PSP emulators before but nothing comes close to this one.

Don't believe me? Check out my in game screenshots screenshots:

*this may or may not block the recently released exploit found by Qwikrazor87*

Channelog
  • You can now easily upload and download your saved data using online storage. Select PLaystation plus icon on LiveArea screen for each application (subscription to ps+ needed)
  • You can now play content saved to a connected device (PS3 system or PC) with [Videos] and [music]
  • Some items have been added to the menu that appears when you press and hold the PS button.
  • [devices] has been added under [settings], and [Bluetooth Settings has been moved under [Devices].
  • In addition, the usability of many features has been improved.
Edit: something I forgot to add, there is a minor visual change when you open the photo application

whelp here it is whether you like it or not. So if you have the latest exploit or even an older one I recommend just staying put until it is known if the exploit is patched and what not.

 Popular PS Sites Compromised
02/08/2013 06:38 AM Posted by: Joom in Tech News
So Dashhacks, PSX-Scene, and QJ have recently been compromised, and their databases are for sale on some seedy forums. Just thought I'd let members know in case any of you are still active on these sites and/or have account information there that's important.

Cool[RELEASE] BLEACH THEME PACK - 6 THEMES
30/07/2013 12:16 PM Posted by: weterr123 in PSP Theme Releases
Ok, so it's finally here, the final release of my recent Bleach project.

A lot of time and effort has gone into this, so I would really like your opinions on things, good and (hopefully not) bad, and in particular I'm curious as to which version will be the most popular (so if you're a member logged in, please come back and let me know which iteration comes out on top for you :D). These are, as you've probably guessed, for 5.00 M33, but I'm including all the icons with each theme, so you can make up in a different firmware if required. A quick jump into RCOedit, and you can mix and match spoon up if you're so inclined ;)

So, here are the screenies:


VERSION 1: CAPTAINS


[Image: snap000-6.png]

^Coldboot.


[Image: snap001-7.png]

^Background used, also showing flashy sub-icon. It's the Hogykoyu, and this is a different colour for each theme.

VERSION 2: VICE CAPTAINS


[Image: snap010-1.png]

^Coldboot. You can probably guess how the next one will look haha.

 TV for Dogs
18/07/2013 12:16 AM Posted by: ZiNgA BuRgA in Random News
With people moving to online sources for video content, TV providers are desperately seeking new viewers.

Quote:[Image: 25well-dogtv-tmagArticle.jpg]

Plenty of things will grab a dog’s attention: squirrels, tennis balls, funny smells, other dogs. But a TV channel?

Absolutely, say the makers of DogTV, the first cable network to deliver 24-hour programming for dogs. The idea, they say, is that flipping on the channel while you go out for the day will keep your pet stimulated, entertained and relaxed. Call it “Sesame Street” for those who will never learn their ABCs.

The shows on DogTV are actually three- to six-minute segments featuring grassy fields, bouncing balls and humans rubbing dog tummies. There are also segments featuring noiseless vacuum cleaners and muted doorbells to help make dogs more comfortable around such common household agitations.

Executives at the network say their programming is scientifically designed to appeal to dogs. “Wee have three years of research on how dogs react to different stimuli,” said Bonnie Vieira, a spokeswoman for DogTV.

For instance, she explained, “For dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, DogTV is a tool that might help ease them, so maybe they’re not getting into trouble, and they’re happier, more relaxed, when you get home.”

But can dogs actually watch, and benefit from, television? Like most questions regarding canine consciousness, the answer depends on whom you ask.

“I think a lot of this is to make us feel better as opposed to making the pet happier,” said Dr. Ann E. Hohenhaus, a staff veterinarian for the Animal Medical Center in Manhattan. “Your pet needs adequate exercise and an interesting environment. You cannot just put on the TV and hope your dog is going to get better.”

Still, if the dog is paying attention to the screen, odds are it likes what it sees. “If the dog wasn’t enjoying it, he would find something else to do, like nibble on the end of a sofa,” Dr. Hohenhaus said. In that way, dog-oriented shows “could be a component” in a program designed to alleviate separation anxiety.
