Windows 7 RC1 and Trend Micro OfficeScan 10

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Don’t try it. It will install. But it slows the system down. Really, it took me 25 minuts to log in. 10 minuts to just write the password.

I will try to find a workaround and share it. If anyone finds a solution, feel free to leave a commen!

Mac OS X DNS workaround failed

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

The latest Mac OS X security update (2008-005) failed to fix (or temporarily solve) the DNS vulnerability in the client version of Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.4. The update solved (temporarily) the same problem in Mac OS X server, but somehow Apple forgot to update the client libraries. The source port is still not randomized (but incremented by 1 each time). So, is this really a critical problem? Or should we worry more about DNS servers behind NAT?
