[OT] IT and Email Security
by Rony 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, I was going through the news report about China having 'hacked' our defence computers and allegedly stolen some information. They are even alleged to have stolen email records of 1 year of the Dalai Lama. My query towards those who may have more information about the same is as follows. 1. Are the compromised machines running doze or Linux? If doze then they are asking for trouble. 2. Since emails are stored as a single database file, how does the attacker steal only one year's record? How does he remotely slice a database inbox file date wise and copy it unless he has had long term access to the user_name and password and keeps copying and saving mails together in a clone offline email client like Thunderbird etc. or one by one using a web interface. Otherwise he has to compromise the actual email server that is hosting the email software and steal the entire inbox file, which is more difficult. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !

FOSS Guru - the ultimate FOSS magazine
by Naveen Dhanuka 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi all, I registered the domain FOSS Guru some time back with the help from a friend in US. I finally want to announce that I am making it a magazine now. There have been many many a magazines in and out in the market and trust me all of them have sustained only because of the free dvd they come out with it. How is FOSS Guru different? I promise if you buy one copy of the magazine, you will archive it for ever. I am targeting it at all types and calibers of users, developers, system managers and architects. My magazine will have everything for everyone. The mag might be segment specific in each issue, so a ruby developer might want to buy only the FOSS Guru – Ruby Special. I am still thinking more. You can cast your votes or send suggestions on this thread or on email address neevaan(a)gmail.com . FOSS Guru will make a mark for itself. I promise. Regards, Naveen Dhanuka http://neevaan.wordpress.com

06 Apr '10

Trin Trin, Just a reminder, 3 day left for CFP ,,, ------------------ Hi all, It's that time of the year when we all come together and help all the humans to get rid off the proprietary software, yes my friends it's time for mukt.in. We feel great pleasure to present you mukt.in 2010. This time with a totally new concept and a new home. Previous editions have successfully inspired a lot of people, specially in Hyderabad about free software and brought them to the community. But due to the active Telangana issue this year, so we are not able to have it in Hyderabad this time. So, we have shifted base to Jaipur, Rajasthan. This time we are not accepting any talks , yes that's true. Mukt.in 2010 is going to be completely workshop based. It's our belief that hands on tutorial have a greater and better impact on the ones attending then only talking, and looking at the fact, most people attending it would be students from and around jaipur, because jaipur is a hub for engineering colleges. The mukt.in team invites submissions to its official un-conference , mukt.in 2010 to be held on 23rd and 24th April 2010 at Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Jaipur, Rajasthan. We cordially invite you to submit your CFP at http://mukt.in/cfp now. Important Dates and Time The last date for CFP submission is 8th April 2010. On 8th april 1200 hrs IST we will be closing the CFP window. List of selected workshops will be announced on 10th April 2010 at 0000 hrs IST Workshop submission Guidelines: 1. Interested speakers need to register on http://mukt.in 2. They will have to add a workshop using the system 3. In the add workshop system they need to mention following: a) Title of the workshop b) A detail description what they plan to do in the workshop c) Duration of the workshop d) Expertise level e) Required software to be used during the workshop f) Linux distribution they plan to use (Fedora / Ubuntu we are currently supporting) g) Any other extra material if you want to attach One can submit more than 1 workshop using the system. It will be really great if you plan to submit more than 1 workshop as it will give you ample opportunity to start from the basics and go till the advance. Mukt.in 2010 theme and suggested area for workshops As said earlier this time we are only planning to have workshops so, we like to introduce the attendees to the concept of "shut-up and hack". Our target audience will mostly be college students who will have a beginner to intermediate expertise in FOSS. Plus we are also planning to bring Rajasthan government officials / NGOs and also college faculties. We plan to organize a complete workshop dedicated to NGOs, government people and college faculties. The workshop for college faculty should preferably target FOSS tools which the faculties can use as an alternative to the existing proprietary tools. Some of the suggested topics for workshops are: * LAMP. * FOSS and electronics. * Linux system administration. * FOSS in mobile computing. * Cloud computing with FOSS. * Emerging open standards. * FOSS and multimedia. * and much more. For any further queries please write to us at: contact(a)mukt.in Thanks & Regards Mukt.in 2010 Team
