Hackers Targeting Windows XP-Based ATM Machines

We’re not going to start hiding our millions under our mattress (that’s right, all bloggers roll in obscene amounts of money and own private jets), but the next time we withdraw a wad of cash, it might be a good idea to skip the ATM and flirt with a real live teller instead.

pretty packets passing before your very eyes!

I found this screen saver on digg, the idea is that it captures packets off the network card and bounces them around the screen.

If you read the comments on digg, some users complain that the implementation isn’t as slick as it could be; well I agree to an extent, but since I know bugger all about VB programming, and I’m not about to fork out for visual studio, I can’t complain to much. In light of this I decided to play with the settings to see what results I could get; the screen shot (pic from cam’ phone) is what I’ve managed, it doesn’t look half bad; and since I like to have most things encrypted most of what you see is rubbish, what’s cool is seeing what’s not !

My Settings are:

  • Speed 145
  • Packets 28
  • Base Font Size 20

Now I suppose results depend on your machine, but it’s worth a go eh !
