What will Google's Chrome OS watch you do?

Google has a long history of tracking user activity, and the introduction of its Chrome operating system later this year is sure to follow suit. While we know that it's being built off of Linux, one big thing we don't know is how its terms of service will differ from those found in other Google products, and what kinds of user data it will be collecting. Based on the company's track record of watching and monetizing user data, it could be anything from which applications you're using, to all the information that's coming in and out of your computer.

Does Google's OS decrease or increase security risks?

Wednesday's two big technology stories--Google's Chrome-based operating system and cyberattacks against U.S. and South Korean government Web sites are oddly related. The stories are connected because if Google does well at gaining market share for its browser, we could see fewer successful attacks. Or maybe we'll see more attacks.

Mozilla releases security fixes for Firefox

The Firefox web browser has been patched for security flaws, four of which were identified as "critical" by Mozilla. A total of nine security flaws were fixed in the new release. The patches include a fix for flaws such as one that allows scripts from page content to run with elevated privileges. With this, an attacker could cause an object such as a browser sidebar to interact with web content so that an attacker's code had elevated privileges.

Google Native Client grows out of research phase

Has anyone used this yet, or have a review of how well it performs in the real world?Satisfied that its security underpinnings are solid, Google has promoted its open-source Native Client technology to accelerate Web applications out of its research phase and is taking steps to build it into the Chrome Web browser. "Based on our experience to date, we believe that the basic architecture of our system is sound and the implementation is supportable. So now we are undertaking a number of tasks to transition Native Client from a research technology to a development platform," said Brad Chen, Google's Native Client engineering manager, in a mailing list announcement Wednesday.

Fedora 11: Leonidas is Hardly a Spartan Linux

New Fedora release today, promoting improved desktop and server features, and better virtualization security.Frields added that Fedora 11 also includes something called sVirt which is SELinux (Security Enhanced) containment for virtual guests. SELinux is an access control technology that has its roots in the NSA (National Security Agency) and has been part of Fedora for years. By extending SELinux to virtual guests, Fedora is enhancing the security of its virtualization technologies. Fedora 11 also includes what Frields described as better authentication for its virtualization manager software (virtmanager).

Hacking Tool Lets A VM Break Out And Attack Its Host

'Cloudburst' memory-corruption exploit released with Immunity's new version of Canvas penetration testing software. Researchers for some time have demonstrated the possibility of one of virtualization's worst nightmares -- a guest virtual machine (VM) infiltrating and hacking its host system. Now another commercial tool is offering an exploit that does exactly that.

Review: Malware-fighting firewalls miss the mark

Many of today's UTM boxes have their roots in Linux. Which perform best?The InfoWorld Test Center attacks Astaro, SonicWall, WatchGuard, and ZyXel firewalls, and only one puts up a fight. Indeed, a rapidly growing number of small and mid-size companies are opting for the administrative and operational simplicity of the single-box solution. And so we decided that UTMs aimed at the mid-size company were the perfect group to use for the rollout of InfoWorld's new firewall and UTM test protocols. When we began this process well over a year ago, we asked for input from virtually every firewall and UTM vendor we knew, and we invited every UTM vendor we could find to send us an appliance to test. In the end, four vendors answered the call. Astaro, SonicWall, WatchGuard, and ZyXel submitted units for this first set of tests.

Securing Mashups With SSL

A new startup, out of the University of Texas at San Antonio, is trying to address mashup risks: SafeMashups' new technology lets applications authenticate with one another using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol before they "mash up" -- or basically blend their data and functionality. To date, most enterprises have been uneasy about adopting mashups given the difficulty of establishing trust among online applications sharing data and functionality via a browser.

Popular Open Source Spam Filter Gets Boost

SpamAssassin, popular open source spam-filtering software, will have deadlier aim thanks to an add-on tool that is being offered free of charge to small businesses and individuals by MailChannels. The tool -- called Traffic Control 3 -- is an e-mail traffic-shaping package that slows down the transmission of spam into corporate e-mail systems. (Compare Messaging Security products.) MailChannels officials say Traffic Control 3 will reduce spam volumes by 50% to 75% for SpamAssassin users. Traffic Control 3 uses a tarpitting technique that greatly reduces the speed at which spam can be transmitted to its target, hitting spammers at their one great vulnerability - their pockets. Reduced speed means less money, and spammers just aren't willing to make the compromise. What have you heard about Traffic Control 3 - anyone else know any good open source spam tar pits?

Prediction: The RSA Conference Will Shrink Like a Punctured Balloon

Last week was the RSA Conference, easily the largest information security conference in the world. More than 17,000 people descended on San Francisco's Moscone Center to hear some of the more than 250 talks, attend I-didn't-try-to-count parties, and try to evade over 350 exhibitors vying to sell them stuff. Talk to the exhibitors, though, and the most common complaint is that the attendees aren't buying. Schneier makes an interesting comparison of anti-lock brakes to security products near the end of the article that sheds new light on how the security industry is evolving. Do you feel this is for better or worse?
