Passware Proves Mac OS Lion Insecure Revealing Login Passwords in Minutes(0) Passware Inc., a provider of password recovery, decryption, and electronic evidence discovery software for computer forensics, law enforcement organizations, government agencies and private investigators, announces that Passware Kit Forensic v11 – a new version of its flagship product – recovers Mac OS user login passwords from computer memory in a matter of minutes.
As Apple’s operating system has increased in popularity in recent years, so have security threats for users. Passware President Dmitry Sumin notes, “Long touted as a stable and secure operating system, Mac users are cautioned that the newest operating system has a potential vulnerability that enables password extraction from devices running Mac OS Lion.”
The Mac OS vulnerability relates to user login passwords that are stored in the system memory even if the computer is locked or put into a sleep mode. Passware Kit Forensic v11 captures live Mac computer memory over FireWire and analyzes it, extracting these passwords. The process takes a few minutes, regardless of the password strength and use of a FileVault encryption. The vulnerability is present in all modern versions of Mac OS, including Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the latest Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, released last week. Passware previously implemented the same technique to decrypt hard disks encrypted with BitLocker and TrueCrypt (see press release: http://prn.to/pw-bt). The security risk is easy to overcome by simply turning off the computer instead of putting it to sleep, and disabling the “Automatic Login” setting. This way, passwords will not be present in memory and cannot be recovered. Sumin continues, “I am a Mac user myself, but it’s important to understand the limitations of your computer’s security, even if you are not a computer forensics expert. If data stored is confidential, it is important to ensure physical security of the computer. One might also consider using additional encryption software.” Passware Kit Forensic – a Comprehensive Encrypted Evidence Discovery Solution Passware Kit Forensic provides immediate password recovery for any protected file detected on a PC or over the network while scanning, revealing hidden and protected data files on a suspect’s computer. Passware Kit Forensic, complete with FireWire memory imaging module, is the first and only commercial software that decrypts BitLocker and TrueCrypt hard disks, and instantly recovers or bypasses Mac and Windows login passwords of seized computers. Additional features of Passware Kit Forensic 11 include:
Pricing and Availability Passware Kit Forensic is available directly from Passware and a network of resellers worldwide. The price is $995 with one year of free updates. Additional product information and screen shots are available at http://www.lostpassword.com/kit-forensic.htm. |

Soft32Updater Launches and Makes Installing Windows Apps Easy, Fast and Fun(0) Soft32 today has launched a new updates manager called Soft32Updater, which is being made available to the public for the first time.
Each day, many updates for software apps are published by software publishers. The reasons can range from security issues to newly-added features. Therefore, keeping computer software up-to-date is not only time consuming but also difficult. This major problem most PC and Windows users are having right now, like chasing, searching, finding and installing the latest software versions and apps, is not new.
Once the client of this product is installed on the computer, Soft32Updater will automatically scan the PC for outdated programs and will compare the results with the huge Soft32.com database. Once the scanning process is complete, an online interface will be displayed where all the installed programs are listed in two categories: outdated programs and up-to-date programs. Users can then choose what program to download in order to be updated or search for additional software. Outdated software can lead to problems and system crashes and may lack features in up-to-date versions of the software. Old software can even leave systems vulnerable to attacks. Keeping software up-to-date is important, and it should be made easy for everyone. Lucian Todea, CEO and founder of Soft32 declared: “Soft32Updater is just the first step we are taking right now towards fulfilling our vision of making the finding, downloading, installing and buying apps on Windows powered PCs a fun and easy-to-do task.” |

Lee Brimelow, an Adobe Flash engineer, reviewed Sothink SWF Decompiler on theFlashBlog like this: “I just got word that my favorite decompiler is now available for OS X. I’ve done some basic tests with this version and everything seems to work exactly the same way as the Windows version.” As the first Flash decompiling tool on the market, Sothink SWF Decompiler has grown and developed for ten years, following up each important upgrade and technical innovation of Adobe Flash. Currently, it is the first SWF decompiler for Mac that enables users to get XFL file from Flash CS5 SWF.

The major release enables the company’s clients in higher education, public and private school districts, government, military, healthcare and private enterprises of all sizes to unify all of their event data to a master calendar that site visitors can now access with mobile devices and smart phones as well as provide feedback on events and share event information through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. “Active Data Calendar is known for having set the highest industry benchmark in terms of our ability to import event data regardless of the application and aggregate all event information to a single unified view,” said Susan Yee, CEO of Active Data Exchange, Inc. “The new Active Data Calendar release shows we’ve also taken the lead in our ability to narrowcast information to social media and support mobile devices out of the box, both of which have become vital not only in terms of popularity and convenience, but even more so to communication efforts and promoting events online.” Pew Research recently revealed that 35 percent of U.S. adults use a smart phone. One quarter of all Internet use in the U.S. is done solely by mobile device. In addition, recent reports indicate more than half of Internet users access the web daily, with social media being among the most heavily-used application. The new Active Data Calendar 3.12 provides native support for the vast majority of major mobile device operating systems, including Apple iOS, Google Android, Blackberry OS and Palm OS, and Opera Mini. Calendar automatically detects which mobile operating system is accessing the website and displays the event calendar listings and information in the appropriate format. Calendar 3.12 also provides greater social media interactivity. There are options to configure Calendar to include Facebook “Like” buttons, Google +1 and Twitter tweets on the system’s Events Details pages, as well as view and add Facebook comments. The new release has made additional improvements to the functionality and ease of use of Calendar, including new support for Rich Snippets to enable enhanced event listings for search engine indexing and listing that can greatly improve search engine optimization. The solution also provides built-in Google Analytics support, and enables site administrators to create Quick Links to display information of archived and historical events that may demonstrate a greater breadth and depth of event offerings and enhance an organization’s brand. Active Data Calendar 3.12 is an automatic upgrade to all customers who have a maintenance and support agreement in place. Active Data Calendar is an advanced master calendar platform that imports and aggregates event data to a single unified view for faster, easier management and centralized oversight and control. The solution can be configured with layers of privacy and permissions-based workflow for approvals prior to publishing event information on the public-facing website. The software automates syndication of event information to email accounts, mobile devices, other websites and social media, and can share information with portals, intranets, SharePoint sites, Student Information Systems (SIS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and other third-party applications and web-enabled enterprise technologies. Available extended capabilities include creating custom event registration forms, accepting registration fees online, booking facilities with specific features and resources for events, and internal-only calendars to communicate and align key internal dates, deadlines, milestones and events. |

Digital 1 Audio Releases PCDJ DEX 2.0 for MAC and Windows(0)
This major upgrade boasts many new features and performance upgrades, while undergoing a design overhaul to simplify the DJ’s in-use live experience. The most notable additions to DEX 2.0 are the new and much improved sound engine quality and the ability to mix music videos, with all the same control and versatility you typically have with mixing audio files. “Client’s and patrons have grown accustom to it, and DJ’s today need to offer the complete audio-visual experience.” says Digital 1 Audio’s General Manager Ryan Sherr. “It’s no longer as simple as just blending a couple tracks, it’s about being creative with the full gamut of media we now have at our disposal. DEX 2.0 is our solution, offering audio, video, and even karaoke mixing ability. Our task was to introduce all this great functionality while getting back to our roots in a sense. Over the years we’ve allowed ourselves to become too influenced by requests, trying to make DJ software for everyone, sometimes allowing us to lose sight of what attracted users to PCDJ in the first place over a decade ago. DJ’s wanted an easier way than traditional DJ hardware, and we provided that. Sherr Continues “We’ve made it our goal with DEX 2.0 to simplify use and navigation. I don’t think we’ve had an easier to use DJ software release since PCDJ RED 5.2, and that’s really saying a lot considering all the new features at the core of DEX 2.0. One item we really focused on was sound quality. Simply put, DEX 2.0 just sounds better. We’re all really excited about the direction we’re heading with our 2.0 software line.” Here are some of the notable features and/or improvements in DEX 2.0:
PCDJ DEX’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $279, with reduced upgrade pricing for existing PCDJ DEX 1.1 users. For more product information and a free evaluation version of PCDJ DEX 2.0 please visit: |
