The next year and a half will see big advancements in WiFi technology, with much faster routers to replace the ones you use today, and a new class of devices to support an incredible 7Gbps speed and clear a lot of the cable clutter out of your house. The advancements will come in the form of two new technologies—802.11ac for whole-home routers using the 5GHz band, and 802.11ad for short-distance, high-speed transfers over the 60GHz band—that are at different stages of development, with the latter being on a slower track. The WiFi Alliance expects to certify 802.11ac products in early 2013, but the timeline for 802.11ad is a lot more iffy. The soonest 802.11ad products would be certified is late 2013, and even then the first certifications may not include routers or modems, WiFi Alliance Marketing Director Kelly Davis-Felner told Ars. Many of the use cases for 7Gbps connections over the 60GHz band will be point-to-point, like streaming video from a handheld device to a TV or transferring tons of data without a cable. The ultimate goal is to have 60GHz connections co-exist alongside 2.4GHz and 5GHz ones in tri-band routers, but it's looking like the first 60GHz products won't include access points. The WiFi Alliance has decided that point-to-point connections will be enough to get started—routers will come, but they're not crucial enough to hold up certification. "If we need to define a station-only certification program—so not including access points—we are able to do that," Davis-Felner said, describing it as a method of preventing the certification program from being delayed any further than late 2013. "We took a decision and said, 'we're not going to wait for access points if everything else is ready to roll.'" A number of vendors need to build 60GHz implementations before the WiFi Alliance can start holding plugfests and develop a certification program. It's still early, so end-user devices and access points could end up on the same schedule, but Davis-Felner said she's not counting on it. Wireless evolution As Davis-Felner mentioned, WiFi is evolving to the point where routerless use cases become viable. Separately, The WiFi Alliance is working on a program called Miracast that will negotiate connections between devices for streaming media without the need for a pre-existing WiFi network or wireless router. Miracast is initially designed for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands but could conceivably run over the 60GHz band in the future. We'll have more to say on Miracast in an upcoming article. Although certification for 802.11ad isn't happening anytime soon, the chipmaker Wilocity is sampling 60GHz technology to device-makers now and says notebooks supporting 60GHz transmission will ship in the second half of 2012, well before certification officially begins. Wilocity's VP of Marketing Mark Grodzinsky confirmed that the first products aren't likely to include routers. Instead, you might see an 802.11ad-enabled notebook bundled with a remote "DockingZone" that has interfaces like Gigabit Ethernet, eSATA, and USB 3.0. Because of the 60GHz band's shorter range, 802.11ad products will be designed for transfers and streaming that happen within a single room rather than a whole building. Laptops are getting much thinner, a trend that is pleasing overall but reduces the number of ports on the device. A special wireless card for the notebook and the remote docking station could solve this problem, or at least that's what Wilocity is hoping. Once the market has been seeded with the appropriate devices, adoption in access points is likely to follow. Chipset shipments for tri-band routers are expected to gain steam in 2013 and become a big part of the market in 2014 and beyond, according to ABI Research data quoted by the WiFi Alliance. Although 802.11ad supports bandwidth up to 7Gbps, Wilocity's initial chips will go up to 4.6. That's high enough to nearly match USB 3.0—going higher requires tradeoffs in variables such as price and power consumption. Wilocity has partnered with Qualcomm to combine 802.11n, 802.11ad, and Bluetooth 4.0 into a single chipset. High speed and power efficiency They aren't the only ones building 60GHz technology. Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University and A*STAR's Institute for Infocomm Research in Singapore have been working on such a project since December 2009 and recently said they've developed a microchip that can transmit data at up to 2Gbps. That is less than half of Wilocity's planned speed, but the researchers say their technology is extraordinarily power-efficient. They have obtained 16 patents. "Our chipset was designed primarily for portable devices such as smartphones, where power consumption is very critical … Existing solutions have achieved higher data rate at the expense of large power consumption, which is not suitable for mobile phones," Nanyang Professor and Project Leader Yeo Kiat Seng told us via e-mail. Seng said the product is ready for commercialization, and the team is looking for phone and computer makers to install the chips in consumer products. Wireless syncing, file transfer, and big-screen display are among the various cable replacement scenarios the team is aiming for. As noted earlier, there are tradeoffs between power and speed. "Some of the modulation schemes are faster and consume a little bit more power, which makes sense," Grodzinsky said. "If you wanted to do a lower-power product, one way to do that is to scale back a little bit." For both 802.11ac and 802.11ad, vendors are entering "market creation mode," as Grodzinsky called it. Early devices supporting the new standards will hopefully pique consumer interest, leading to development of more products. If there's a heavy interest in end-user devices supporting 60GHz wavelength, the routers will follow. 60GHz standard almost done, but not all chipmakers ready to release silicon Both 802.11ac and 802.11ad are awaiting ratification from the IEEE. It turns out 11ad is actually a few steps ahead of 11ac. "Ratification for 11ad could happen as early as this December, while 11ac ratification is looking like next year around April," the WiFi Alliance told us, based on its own reading of the IEEE schedule. But 11ad products are definitely lagging behind 11ac. "We know how to do 5GHz" from experience with 802.11n, Davis-Felner said. "Although there's a lot of new goodness in 11ac, there's also a lot of WiFi know-how in those products. In many ways it's a lot more iterative than something completely new [like 60GHz]." Buying products before they're certified could potentially lead to interoperability problems, although pre-certification products should be upgradeable via software or firmware to comply with the finished standard. Chip maker Broadcom is heavily pushing 802.11ac products, and just released a new System on a Chip design that integrates 802.11ac capability with a "high performance processor, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch, GbE physical layer transceivers (PHYs), USB 3.0 and traffic accelerators," potentially allowing up to 12Gbps total throughput. Earlier 802.11ac chips are already being used by Broadcom partners such as Netgear and Buffalo for routers, media bridges, and USB adapters to add 11ac capability to computers. Qualcomm also has a new line of 1.3Gbps chips supporting 802.11ac. 802.11ac is consuming the bulk of Broadcom's time and effort right now, rather than 802.11ad, said Dino Bekis, senior director of the company's access and wireless entertainment unit. Broadcom has not announced any 802.11ad products. Wilocity's first chips for tri-band routers support 2.4GHz and 5GHz with 802.11n and 60GHz with 802.11ad, so a dream router supporting both those standards and 802.11ac will have to wait for another day. But by the tail end of this year and Q1 2013 you should see digital TVs, mobile phones, and other products supporting 802.11ac, Broadcom said. Wilocity might argue otherwise, but Bekis said he thinks mass adoption of 802.11ad may be two or three years away. 802.11ac products will provide a big boost over today's technology, in any case. "We do think that the appetite for even higher speeds are going to be driving higher-speed wireless connectivity," Bekis said.

Apropo, de ce titlul spune "hackers"? Ce au revolutionat astia? Daca astia sunt hackeri, carderii si crackerii ce fac? Patch-uri pentru linux?

Depinde... daca te prind cu ceva cash sau cu produse pe numele tau. Stiu pe cineva care mai demult s-a ocupat cu asa ceva, la o scara mai mica, ce-i drept. Acum s-a lasat, are o afacere legala. Dar pe vremea aia, nu avea nimic pe numele lui, nici macar chiria nu era pe numele lui. Si avea vreo 2 masini, 3 apartamente in chirie. Dar niciodata n-a ridicat bani pe numele lui si nici n-a tinut bani in casa. El peste tot era "musafir", n-avea nimic al lui. Am vorbit cu acea persoana la vreo 2 ani dupa ce s-a lasat (de buna voie, nu de probleme). Zicea ca n-ar mai vrea sa treaca prin asa ceva nici pentru o suma de 100 de ori mai mare. Sa dormi cu stres ca-ti sparge usa... Sa tresari cand auzi un girofar. Sa umbli numai din chirie in chirie, ca boschetaru. Sa n-ai nimic al tau. Bine, asta a fost alegerea lui, sa "boschetareasca", dar si-a pastrat libertatea cel putin. Cert este, ca pe cale ilegala, ai 2 optiuni: stresat si traiesti ca un boschetar, sau stresat si sa fii boier, pentru o perioada scurta, apoi pierzi tot. Oricum ar fi, acei ani in care nu dormi noptile, in care nu ai incredere nici in propriul frate, in care toti din jurul tau iti par a fi securisti, turnatori sau agenti fbi... nu-i poti recupera si nici cumpara cu miile de dolari furate.

Stirea asta nu face decat sa incurajeze frauda. Pai in 2-3 ani de munca cinstita, nu faci banii astia. Adica de facut ii faci, dar sa faci mai mult de-atat, ca sa ai si sa cheltui si sa pui deoparte... e ceva.

Te referi la site-ul anonymouse? Daca da, mi se pare 110% normal, nu e singurul site de proxy. Daca te referi la grupare, e fara ultimul e. Si atunci topicul tau nu-si mai are rostul, citeste si tu pe forum ce se zice despre ei. Abia daca au 1-2 fani pe-aici.

Probabil: "and an HDMI plug on the other side, which allows it to be plugged into a display". Ar fi ceva sa ai Samsung cu Ubuntu si toate alea pe el.

FXI is preparing to launch the Cotton Candy, a tiny computer that looks like a USB thumb drive. The device, which can run either Ubuntu or Android 4.0, has a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a Mali 400MP GPU that allows it to decode high-definition video. It has a USB plug on one side, which is used to power the system, and an HDMI plug on the other side, which allows it to be plugged into a display. It also has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth radios for connectivity and supporting input devices. The system can boot standalone and operate as a complete computer when plugged into a display. It's also possible to plug the Cotton Candy into a conventional computer and boot from it like you would from a regular USB mass storage device. FXI announced today that the Cotton Candy is available for preorder. The standard retail price is $199 plus tax and shipping. The product is expected to ship in March. The small form factor and relatively high specs make the product seem like a compelling choice for enthusiasts who are looking for an ultra-compact Linux system.

Almost a dozen sites are actively targeting Android users with malware that could gain access to corporate networks and other protected systems, security researchers said. They note it's the first time compromised sites have been used to infect users of a mobile handset. The malware, dubbed NotCompatible, is being transmitted by websites when they're accessed on smartphones running Google's Android operating system. This is according to a blog post published Tuesday by researchers from Android antivirus provider Lookout. An iframe tag included in the sites provides a link to malicious software that's automatically downloaded after the site is visited. The sites then provide notifications prompting end users to install the downloaded app. Installation is possible only on phones that have been configured to run apps acquired from sources other than the Google Play market. "Hacked websites are frequently used to infect PCs with malware," Lookout researchers wrote in Wednesday's post. "However, today we have identified the first time hacked websites are being used to specifically target mobile devices." The company's security app automatically blocks installation of the software. Google has long admonished users to download apps only from its official Play market. Most, but by no means all, malicious titles targeting Android are distributed through third-party channels. Lookout's discovery of sites that actively foist malicious installation apps only reinforces this advice. The security firm's claim that Android phones automatically download apps with no user prompting couldn't be immediately confirmed. If true, it's troubling behavior, even if users must change default settings to be able to install the programs. Visiting the websites on non-Android devices returns an error message that prevents any malicious activity from taking place, Lookout said. But when a browser advertises it's running on an Android device, an HTML script automatically pushes the malicious software through a series of domains including gaoanalitics.info and androidonlinefix.info. A command and control server is hosted at notcompatibleapp.eu. About 10 websites compromised to include the malicious iframe have been identified, a Lookout spokeswoman said. "Based on our current research, NotCompatible is a new Android trojan that appears to serve as a simple TCP relay/proxy while posing as a system update," the advisory stated. "This threat does not currently appear to cause any direct harm to a target device, but could potentially be used to gain illicit access to private networks by turning an infected Android device into a proxy."

Functioneaza, doar ca i-au picat botii. Apropo, il vinzi si cu drept de exclusivitate? Daca da, care e pretul?

Cea mai buna solutie: Verified market si unverified market. Cine vrea sa se riste, cumpara de la vanzatori neverificati. Vanzatorii verificati, care ofera calitate, sa aiba dreptul sa posteze la verified market. Din cate am vazut pe aici, flux (sau ceva de genul) era serios. Sunt sigur ca sunt si multi altii ca el. La unverified market, sa nu fie moderare. La verified market nu mai e nevoie. Cine vrea sa devina vendor verificat, trimite PM la unul din admini, discuta cu el, ii arata dovezi, etc. Fiecare se descurca. Riscul ca un user care-si face o reputatie ca vendor sa devina scammer, e destul de mic.

In plus, majoritatea nu permit ca linkurile din articole sa apara in google, deci tot degeaba. O metoda mai rapida si disponibila de pe orice browser, fara a instala module suplimentare, este cautarea linkului in google, apoi accesarea din cache. Avantajul metodei prezentate de exploiter e ca poti naviga prin linkurile interne fara sa trebuiasca sa cauti mereu pe google.

Da Paul, dar ei au activat la inceput pe clear web. Apoi, cand ai trecut pe deep web si-au anuntat toti clientii, inclusiv politistii sub acoperire. Astfel ei nu au inceput de la 0 o "afacere deep", ci au portat una.
