When asked why L0phtcrack was being discontinued Symantec replied, "The LC product line no longer fits into Symantec's future product strategy. As a result, Symantec will not be applying any future development resources to this product line and will discontinue all sales."

Mac OS X Hacked Under 30 Minutes

Gaining root access to a Mac is "easy pickings," according to an individual who won an OS X hacking challenge last month by gaining root control of a machine using an unpublished security vulnerability. On February 22, a Sweden-based Mac enthusiast set his Mac Mini as a server and invited hackers to break through the computer's security and gain root control, which would allow the attacker to take charge of the computer and delete files and folders or install applications.

Risky Web Sites Account for 5 % of Traffic

SiteAdvisor was founded by a group of MIT engineers who realized there was a gaping hole in existing Web security products. While traditional security companies had gotten relatively good at addressing technical threats like viruses, they were failing to prevent a new breed of "social engineering" tricks -- scams that trick users into downloading malicious software or signing up at Web sites that send unwanted e-mail or steal personal information.

Is It the End of the Security World as We Know It?

The folks running the annual RSA Conference here this week will tell you that the show is bigger than ever and security is at the top of every CIO's list of concerns. And while all of that may well be true, if heavyweights such as Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems and Microsoft have their way, enterprises soon will have little use for the wares that most of the security vendors here are hawking.

SARA, spawn of SATAN

If you are an old school Linux or Unix user, you probably remember the System Administrator's Tool for Scanning Networks (SATAN). In 1995, SATAN brought browser-based network auditing to the world. Despite its initial splash, SATAN fell to the wayside due to lack of updates. Thanks to the kind folks at the Advanced Research Corp., SATAN is back, in the form of the Security Auditor's Research Assistant (SARA), a kinder, gentler, easier to use, and more updated auditing tool.
