WhatsApp vulnerability allows status changes foreign numbers — developers ignore Hinwe

WhatsApp (AppStore link), one of the most popular short messages apps on the iPhone, is currently under attack. Error in the security infrastructure of the application, allow third parties to edit an arbitrary phone number WhatsApp status messages.

The demo page set up specifically for this purpose whatsappstatus.net demonstrates the vulnerability. Problematic the security gap is less (funny status messages just about still smile can be), as the reaction of the WhatsApp developer. So the makers of the SMS alternative were taught already mid-September of the authorization failure, not reacted to the error however.

In addition to the editable status messages, the of “SEC consult vulnerability Lab” security experts responsible for the discovery denounce two more WhatsApp vulnerabilities. The registration of any telephone numbers is possible, on the one hand on the other WhatsApp uses unencrypted clear text for message exchange among its customers:

[...] So if on attacker is able to perform a man-in-the middle attack it would be possible to read for example received or sent messages and even modify them. The response from the vendor did not indicate that there is a concrete plan to resolve this issue in the future.

Video iPad protective cover of an old iBook

Found it on YouTube: da someone from his old iBook has made a cover for the Apple IOS. He has made the iBooks the Apple logo transparent, so a part of the display (from the iPad) to see. As a basis for the renovation work, the keyboard had to hold her. Looks as if he would have lined the inside so that there are no scratches on the iPad.

In the detail the reconstruction looks not more quite as “clean” and the iPad will put also some thickness and weight by the construction. Despite everything, I found the idea of cool – therefore: video from…

Have you found already so a few unique tags or even created?

Mac Pro 2012 approaching delivery in 1 to 3 weeks (update)

Sunday, the 08 January 2012 at 11: 55 am

mac_pro
A look at the Apple online store says that Mac Pro could do something in the near future. Actually the new Mac should be pro already since August 2011 on the shelves, at least according to the rumor mill, but is known to nothing has been done to date. Now comes a stir in the matter and the Mac Pro 2012 could be soon available. Only the 12-core Mac Pro was until a few days ago with the note “weekdays in: 1-3 weeks marked”, so Apple specifies now Mac Pro standard configurations the just mentioned delivery time for all four.

Notes on the Mac Pro 2012 or just a small hiccup in the Apple online store? Even more often, we have seen in the past that a reference to a product update in the home of Apple was falling stocks. Apple is on the one hand that slowly but surely dry channels and a product update appears a short time later. The development versions of Mac OS X 10.7.3 brought in the last few weeks delicate notes on a Mac Pro 2012. So, the Mac OS X includes Lion 10.7.3 Beta graphics drivers for the AMD Tahiti graphics chips, which could be pro 2012 the Mac used. It’s time for a Mac Pro update. (Thanks Thomas)

Update 15: 10 am: the significant deterioration in the ability to deliver of the “standard Mac Pros” is expected to be on the built-up 1TB hard drive. Beginning of December we have reported about the floods in Thailand leads to a shortage of mechanical hard drives. They should have reached Pro now also Mac. Once you Mac Pro with a 2TB hard drive (weekdays in: 5-7 business days) or 512 GB SSD hard drive (weekdays in: 4 business days) equips, improves the delivery time to the positive. For the Mac Pro Server, it does not matter which hard disk is being used. Here it is at all three variants “weekdays in: 1-3 weeks.” (Thanks Ralph)

Apple patent shows new form of the battery

Apple has a patent pending now that the use of different electrode plate States. The batteries are placed on these plates. By using the new shapes and sizes, it will be therefore possible to better utilize the space in the usually small Apple devices.

This technique revealed by patently Apple has the advantage that previously unused free space of a device better can be exploited, to use the battery in these corners. So far, this is not possible, because current energy storage in the form of a block are used, which also occupied most of the inner life of a Elektrogerätes.

We decided for the realization of this new technology, this could bring many new features with it. So the designers get for example more space to continue to carry out. But also the use of rechargeable batteries in the form of a triangle or a pyramid would be possible. Finally the demand will not decline for energy in times of LTE and graphically elaborate three-dimensional games.

As patently Apple reported, the patent could be related with a MacBook, which can be operated with solar energy. Apple developed in this area for some years and had to protect a few developments.

Test 2 and ion LeatherShell for iPhone 4 ion carbon cover for iPad

In this post I will that you “ion carbon cover for iPad 2″ and” ion LeatherShell imagine for iPhone 4″ – I have both protective covers for several weeks in use now. “” ION-factory is located in Hong Kong and manufactures high-quality – and sometimes outlandish sleeves – for BlackBerrys, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Samsung.

Whether the cases are what? Read on…

First of all, I must say that I consciously decided for the rather simple carbon protective covers, even though there are much fancier variations in the range. The carbon films (stickers) are not included, I had this before on the Apple iPad 2 and the Apple iPhone 4.

The ion of carbon cover for IOS 2 is 69,99 USD, the LeatherShell ion for iPhone 4 at 79,89 USD. I have ordered both cases directly in Hong Kong and received three weeks later, however, you will receive the cases of installation for example also at Amazon.

Before I the carbon cover for iPad 2 in use had, I the original smart cover of Apple have used. Here I liked especially the ease of use and waking up at the opening of the lid, the lack of protection for the reverse was always a blemish in mine eyes. On the Apple iPhone 4 I had next to a matte screen protector (as also in the iPad 2) only the carbon films on the front and back.

To it: I am thrilled by two protective covers. Convince the quality and appearance and also operation of devices within the covers is possible without any problems. I can therefore fully further recommend this if the price is quite low. For this you will receive a level of protection for your not quite cheap Apple device, which is somewhat exclusive as a 0815 Schutzhuelle…:-)

The function LeatherShell for Apple iPhone 4 at the Arriva…

The LeatherShell consists of a hard cover made of plastic, which is covered with a leathery material. The inside is ausgekleidet… with a velvety protection to protect against scratches

On the back in carbon effect is. All seams are more clean

The iPhone to fit perfectly in the case: nothing wobbles and nevertheless is perfectly protected…

Camera, hardware keys, and ports are saved out and can be efficiently in the envelope

The ion of carbon cover for Apple iPad 2 at the Arriva…

It also consists of a (thin) hard cover, which was disguised and offers also a perfect protection for the back of iPads without big aufzutragen…

The iPad 2 is absolutely perfekt…

The front elements can be folded to the prop and writing lyrics is erleichtert…

Here you can see how the hard cover on the metal frame of the Apple is iPad 2 “holding” – absolutely, perfekt…

The cut-outs for speakers and Dock Connector…

The cut-outs for camera and Hardwaretasten…

Visually very ansprechend…
