Facebook Prepares to Launch Bug Bounty Program ! Facebook is working on setting up a bug bounty program that would encourage security researchers to discover vulnerabilities on its platform and report them responsibly. Mr. Joe Sullivan, Facebook's chief security officer, told us today at the Hack in the Box Amsterdam 2011 security conference that the company is currently testing such a system and hopes to launch it soon. Vulnerability reward programs are not new. In fact, they've been around since the Netscape era. In 2004 Mozilla introduced a bug bounty system for vulnerabilities discovered in Firefox, then last year Google did the same for Chromium, the open source project behind Google Chrome. However, it was Google that began rewarding vulnerabilities found in its web services first, a move that was mirrored by Mozilla a month later. Facebook has a pretty good relationship with security researchers already and many of them are reporting vulnerabilities to the ...

RKAnalyzer - kernel level rootkit analyzer ! RKAnalyzer is a kernel level rootkit analyzer and defender using Hardware Virtualization Techniques, based on the BitVisor Project(A VMM developed by Tsukuba University and open-sourced under BSD License). It tries to monitor kernel level rootkits' actions and log them. What differs RKAnalyzer with tranditional detection softwares(i.e. Rootkit Revealer, IceSword) is that RKAnalyzer actively intercepts rootkit actions, rather than reacting to rootkit after already infected. Also, RKAnalyzer support analysis mode, which differs from defend mode by presenting a much more transparent environment, in which rootkit would consider itself running without being monitored.
