Carbylamine PHP Encoder - Make PHP files Fully Undetectable from Antivirus

Mar 15, 2012
Carbylamine PHP Encoder - Make PHP files Fully Undetectable from Antivirus Carbylamine PHP Encoder is a PHP Encoder for obfuscating/encoding PHP files so that antivirus detection signatures can be bypassed. High Security PHP Encoder Stops unauthorized personnel from reading, modifying and reverse engineering your code. Advance PHP obfuscation makes your code extremely hard to understand. Improves security by preventing hackers from analyzing your source code. Encoding is a process where the PHP source code is converted to an intermediate machine readable format. This format is hard for humans to read and convert back to source code. As a result it protects your code from casual browsing. This means that if people obtain access to your site's code they will not be able to use that for unintended purposes. Obfuscation is a process where code intentionally made very hard to read as source code or as reverse engineered code. This obfuscation is designed to manage risks that st...

FBI actually leak Stratfor e-mails just to bust Julian Assange?

FBI actually leak Stratfor e-mails just to bust Julian Assange?

Mar 14, 2012
FBI actually leak Stratfor e-mails just to bust Julian Assange ? Internal emails disclosed by Anonymous and WikiLeaks suggest that Stratfor, a private intelligence firm working with the U.S. Justice Department. But The FBI turned a computer hacker to build its case against a group of people it alleges are responsible for a string of audacious attacks that captured the personal details of more than one million people. Hector Monsegur, known as Sabu, leader of the Anonymous affiliated hacking group LulzSec, was arrested by FBI agents in his New York apartment on Monday, June 7, 2011, at 10:15PM. On August 15, Monsegur pleaded guily to several counts of hacking and identity theft.  Seeing that Xavier 'Sabu' Monsegur had apparently been working for the FBI for the last couple of months, it isn't too far-fetched to think that the leaks of the Stratfor e-mails given to Wikileaks by Anonymous was nothing more than a tactic to entrap Wikileaks and build a case against Assange...

Chinese Trojans Gh0stRAT used to attack pro-Tibet organisations

Chinese Trojans Gh0stRAT used to attack pro-Tibet organisations

Mar 14, 2012
Chinese Trojans Gh0stRAT used to attack pro-Tibet organisations AlienVault has discovered a range of spear phishing attacks taking place against a number of Tibetan organizations apparently from Chinese attackers. The security firm believes that the attacks are originating from the same Chinese group that launched the Nitro attacks last year and and signal a serious escalation into cyberwar from the 'cold war' that has existed between the two countries since the occupation by the Chinese army in 1950. The new attack uses a malicious Word attachment sent by email to organisations including the Central Tibet Administration and International Campaign for Tibet using English-language subject lines promoting a Tibetan religious festival. The attacks were given the name Nitro, and they leveraged Phishing and a PDF exploit to target a vulnerability in Windows (CVE-2010-3333). The malicious payload being delivered in this latest attack is a variant of Gh0stRAT , which exploits a...
'The Consortium' Just Called the Movement a 'SLUT '

'The Consortium' Just Called the Movement a 'SLUT '

Mar 14, 2012
' The Consortium ' Just Called the Movement a ' SLUT ' I'm disappointed. At the pinnacle of one of the greatest and most innovative political movements the world has ever seen, you have the new hackers group named "Consortium" bringing the movement to a new low and quite frankly, an embarrassment. When the world is finally revolting against tyranny, corruption and a disgraceful abuse of human rights, the group Consortium chooses to hack into a porn site and stole Users identity and credit card numbers of men and women, mostly who are serving in the military. ( List of Military Emails , Used in Porn Site to sign up is available in our last related article) May I ask Consortium to what end does this serve? There have been depictions of a sexual nature as old as civilization, such as, the Venus figurines and sexual rock art since prehistoric times. Using the excuse that the site was poorly secured, is no excuse at all for demeaning and demoralizing people using the...
