Crimeware
Why no news is bad news – at least when it comes to malware
Once upon a time, malware authors wrote code to infect thousands of machines for entertainment and intellectual stimulation. Today, it's all about the money, and the greatest threat may lie in the silence, making a far more dangerous landscape.

Terrible vengeance to be served on the iTunes store?

Accessing Remote Data Part 3
Last time (Accessing Remote Data Part 2) we talked about setting up secure remote communications from one stationary location like a home office to another stationary location like the main office. This time, let's talk about providing remote data access to those users wandering around from place to place.

Get Started with Microsoft Expression Blend
Learning lessons from game studios…
For the most part, .Net developers are continuing to use Visual Studio the same way they always have, even when it comes to creating new WPF solutions, but interesting enough quite a few developers that I have spoken to recently also now find themselves working with Expression Blend.
Blue Gears - Virtualization Best Practices

VoIP Security: Secrets and Hype
VoIP security auditing is becoming more and more complex ... Not!
I am curious how people can conduct penetration tests of a complex VoIP system when they barely understand how VoIP infrastructure works. Today, security people are still stuck to auditing practices from 1990s. When asked to do a penetration test, a consultant often is only looking at past issues that can be detected using various vulnerability scanners. Very few of them know that vulnerability scanners have extremely bad coverage of vulnerabilities in VoIP solutions. And even if the tools did know VoIP, who really cares about past issues that might have been relevant several years ago.
