Futurama’s love affair with Apple
Apple products might show up on TV all the time, but no show can top Futurama when it comes to a sprinkling of both well-known and obscure Apple references.
How the Conficker Problem Just Got Much Worse
On the surface, April 1 came and went without a peep from the dreaded Conficker megaworm. But security experts see a frightening reality, one where Conficker is now more powerful and more dangerous than ever.

he Honeynet Project has discovered an anomaly in Conficker that makes it possible to detect infected hosts with an elaborate fingerprint scan over the network.
-
sudo nmap -sC –script=smb-check-vulns –script-args=safe=1 -p445 \
-d -PN -n -T4 –min-hostgroup 256 –min-parallelism 64 \
-oA conficker_scan <your network(s) here> -
Hot on the coattails of the Simple Conficker Scanner, I’ve added detection for Conficker to Nmap.

This enabled us to intercept or mangle the packets exchanged between the infected machine and the outside world. We monitored the activity of the infected host over several days. We classify the test into two phases: Pre- April 1st and the April 1st phase.
Fedora 10 & ffmpegthumbnailer
I’ve recently upgraded from F7 to F10 and was surprised to see that ffmpegthumbnailer hasn’t made it into the yum repo’s yet!
As I use ffmpegthumbnailer for PS3 Video thumbnails I needed to find a solution to this.
If I had the time I’d knock up a .spec file & rpm, but for the time being I thought I’d post my bodge…. NUMBER ONE, if you’ve never typed “configure;make;make install” before you need to install the development tools.
sudo yum groupinstall “development tools”
Next pick up a couple of extra dependencies…
sudo yum install libpng libpng-devel ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
You should now find that, if you download the source, unpack it – gunzip ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.0.tar.gz;tar -xvf ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.0.tar and cd ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.0 hopefully you can complete ./configure without any errors.
If you try make at this point it’ll probably fail with errors, this is how I fixed that….
cd /usr/include/ffmpeg/
ln -s libavcodec/avcodec.h ./
ln -s libavformat/avformat.h ./
ln -s libswscale/swscale.h ./
ln -s libavformat/avio.h ./
Now you can… get back to the build
cd ~/ffmpegthumbnailer-1.5.0
make
sudo make install
If all has gone well you should have a working install
