Germany's Chaos Computer Club says it has cracked the protection around Apple's fingerprint sensor on its new iPhone 5S, just two days after the device went on sale worldwide.

In a post on their site, the group says that their biometric hacking team took a fingerprint of the user, photographed from a glass surface, and then created a "fake fingerprint" which could be put onto a thin film and used with a real finger to unlock the phone.

Step 2: Upon installation, open BlueStack. You’d find a welcome screen showing the top 25 Apps.
Step 3: Navigate to the My Apps tab next to top 25 Apps. You will find the apps that are downloaded by default here.

Step 4: In the same screen select App Search, wherein you’d be searching for the WhatsApp app.

Step 5: In the search bar that appears, type WhatsApp or WhatsApp for PC. The search engine searches for the keyword in Google Play, one mobile and the Amazon App Store, and shows a search result from all three stores.
Step 6: Select WhatsApp Messenger from the 1 mobile store. You then need to click install button against WhatsApp Messenger in the screen that follows.


Once done, BlueStack downloads WhatsApp for you. It takes about 2 minutes for this to happen.

Hack Windows using winAUTOPWN 3.4 –Completing 4 years of windows hacking

winAUTOPWN has been an old favourite to automate windows hacking and vulnerability testing.  The project is the brainchild of Azim Poonawala of [C4]Closed Circuit Corporate Clandestine and saw its first release in 2009. Fast forward to 4 years; it has matured into a good exploitation framework with a plethora of options. As the Author states about it  -

Autohack your targets - even if you have consumed and holding a bottle of 'ABSOLUT' in one hand and absolute ease (winAUTOPWN) in the other.

In layman terms, winAUTOPWN is a unique exploit framework which helps in gaining shell access and pwning (aka exploiting vulnerabilities) to conduct Remote Command Execution, Remote File/Shell Upload, Remote File Inclusion and other Web-Application attacks. To add cherry on the top, it can also help in conducting multiple types of Denial of Service attacks on targets, furthermore, It can also be used to test effectiveness of IDS/IPS

Apple's iCloud is another networking failure

When Apple announced that it was moving into cloud based computing, the Tame Apple Press enthused about it so loudly the more sceptical voices were shouted down.
The reason there were sceptics was because while Apple gear might look sexy, its networking capability was legendarily pants. Right from its early days, Apple's networking solutions were incredibly unreliable.
Anyone who had to suffer through the 1990s on AppleTalk who had not been reduced to a gibbering wreck was unlikely to trust Jobs' Mob networking technology ever again.
Things did not get better either. From Apple server to AirPort, Jobs' Mob seemed to be light years behind networking on other computing. When Steve Jobs returned, the inconsistency was made it even more unpleasant by the fact that every bit of networking gear was peddled with the same smugness as its consumer gear.

Rats With Linked Brains Work Together

Scientists have engineered something close to a mind meld in a pair of lab rats, linking the animals' brains electronically so that they could work together to solve a puzzle. And this brain-to-brain connection stayed strong even when the rats were 2,000 miles apart.

The experiments were undertaken by Duke neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis, who is best known for his work in making mind-controlledprosthetics.

What is a Firewall?

Firewalls are software programs that filter information coming through the Internet to a network or individual computer. Firewalls keep destructive external forces away from your personal data. The name “firewall” comes from the idea of an actual physical firewall, a strategy used among firefighters to keep a fire from spreading from one area to another.

For companies with hundreds of employees, it’s more common for a firewall to be used at the network level. Without a firewall, every computer at a company would be directly accessible by anyone using the Internet. Hackers could easily probe the computers, create FTP connections to download data from the computer and so on.

Another Hack Allows Access to Locked iPhones

A glitch in Apple's iOS 6.1 operating system makes it possible to access an iPhone's sensitive data, including contacts and photos, without entering the correct passcode, or personal identification number (PIN).

The security flaw, the second PIN bypass that security researchers have found this month, takes a bit of tricky button-pushing in a specific order. But once done successfully, it allows an intruder to download the phone's data over USB to a computer that would have otherwise been locked out.

4-D Printing: The Invention that Built Itself?

The latest advance in 3-D printing technology might make it possible for underwater structures to build themselves. So-called “4-D printing” is being used by researchers to create materials that transform into geometrical structures all on their own.

Skylar Tibbits, a trained architect and computer scientist at M.I.T., recently announced to the audience at this year’s TED Conference that he’s working with 3-D printing company Stratasys to create this entirely new kind of building material, which, when exposed to an energy source, canfold itself into pre-programmed shapes.

The New York Times technology blog, Bits, reports that the self-folding structures are made of two core materials, a synthetic polymer that doubles in volume when submerged in water, and another polymer that remains rigid in water. When the two polymers are combined and submerged, the expansion of the first polymer drives the joints of the structure to move, creating a preprogramed shape, like this simple cube.

Tibbits and his team at the M.I.T. self-assembly lab believe that this technology will eventually be used to create much larger, more complicated structures. And since the materials being researched can also be activated by light, heat, and sound, companies who adopt this new technology will be able to use a variety of energy sources to create these self-building structures.

Nano-Machines Recreate Principal Activities of Proteins

Using a high performance computing infrastructure, a team of researchers developed the first versatile and modular example of a fully artificial protein-mimetic model system that recreates principal activities of proteins.

Physicists of the University of Vienna together with researchers from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna developed nano-machines which recreate principal activities of proteins. They present the first versatile and modular example of a fully artificial protein-mimetic model system, thanks to the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC), a high performance computing infrastructure. These “bionic proteins” could play an important role in innovating pharmaceutical research. The results have now been published in the renowned journal “Physical Review Letters”.
