White Hat Hacker Breaks Silence
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/09/0313212
[0]Flackboy Kevin writes "The nation's hackers are about to come out of
their shells on Friday as one of the most notorious 'good guys' in
Manhattan makes a rare-yet-cyber public appearance on [1]USA Today's
online chat. Gary Morse, Manhattan's white hat hacker and good friend
of every Chief Security Officer in the financial world agreed to an
online chat regarding security. Morse's uncanny knowledge of how
Manhattan is wired helps keep him one step ahead of hackers and has
kept him in high disregard in most hacker communities. Morse's company,
Razorpoint Security Technologies does not employ hackers who've decided

[0]SecurityFocus posted an article today about a new book that covers
[1]hacking the Xbox. The book's author, Andrew "Bunnie" Huang, reports
that it's selling well, even though the release date has not yet
arrived. Presumably, this is because the book covers soldering
techniques and adding features like blue LEDs and modchips to Xboxes,
most of which violate the DMCA. If this stuff is interesting to you,
you can order a copy from [2]Huang's site. It amazes me that a book
such as this could be banned, yet car service manuals can be sold in
most bookstores.

Windows Security Through Annoyances?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/08/2047227
techmuse writes "According to News.com, Microsoft's next version of
Windows will [0]let you know that you are looking at (supposedly)
secure data by putting personalized text, such as the names of your
dogs (a null list in my case), in window borders, and will also hide
the data unless the window has no others on top of it. That should make
it very usable, and speed adoption of security features -- especially
among people who need to be able to see the data in two partially
overlapping windows at once."

Sniffing Out Cancer
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/08/1638247
Makarand writes "Researchers at the Univeristy of Rome are developing an [0]electronic nose that can sniff out cancer by sampling people's breath. The instrument uses sensors that respond to the presence of chemical compounds in the patient's breath. For example, lung cancer patients exhale alkanes and benzene derivatives which the electronic nose will try to detect. The sensors are quartz crystal sensors coated with a substance that binds to a range of organic chemicals. If certain molecules in the breath bind to this surface coating they change the natural vibration frequency of the crystal." Links

Mass Storage Leaves Microchips in the Dust http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/08/199218
[0]Roland Piquepaille writes "This [1]article from Wired Magazine looks
at storage with a new angle. 'Right now I am sitting in front of a
whirring 60-gigabyte hard disk that cost less than $100. Do the math:
If back then 10 megabytes cost $1,000, then 60 gigabytes would have
cost x, where x = $6,000,000 and "back then" = 18 years ago. I'm
sitting in front of $6,000,000 worth of mass storage, measured at
mid-1980s prices. We have Moore's law for microprocessors. But who's
coined a law for hard disks? In mass storage we have seen a 60,000-fold
fall in price -- more than a dozen times the force of Moore's law.'
DeLong also looks at a non-distant future when a $100 mass storage
device will hold a full terabyte. He also thinks that with disk space
becoming cheaper and cheaper, we'll be tempted to archive everything
about ourselves, including pictures and videos. This is in fact the
goal of the Gordon's Bell project, MyLifeBits. You can learn more about
the MyLifeBits project by reading this [2]NewsFactor Network article.

[0]ratfynk writes "Anybody interested in creating their own MP3 or WAV
recordings should take a look at this device. It is a compact hard

[0]Guillaume Filion writes "[1]IEEE spectrum has an interesting
[2]article about a new probe sent to Mars searching for life: 'Recent
