BackTrack 5 is awesome.

BackTrack 5 is a Linux based operating system that comes pre installed with a numerous amount of security programs on it. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert you will find several tools that are installed on it that will help you to achieve your goals.
There are several different aspects of the Backtrack operating system that allow it to be the tool of choice for security professionals. One of these is the amount of different categories of security that the operating system maintains software for.
These categories include information gathering, network mapping, vulnerability identification, web application analysis, Digital forensics, reverse engineering, and basic penetration.
 We’ll start with BackTrack. The open source community has been the heart and soul behind its growth from a personal side project to over 5 million downloads.  As times go on it gets harder to devote the time and effort needed to maintain, update and enhance BackTrack.  That is no longer a problem as a funded team is now arranged to ensure those things get done.  We now have a roadmap that lands you at the end with the release of BackTrack 5.

Security vulnerability on www.cee-kerala.org.

www.cee-kerala.org is a Kerala website which gives entrance details and an option to download admin card. admin card is a simple .pdf file that contains details of the student and the details of exam and exam centre. Day before yesterday when i searched for ma friend's admin card, i noticed that there is no enough security for the entrance student's details. Anyone can download anyone's admin card from there. Admin card contains the full address of the student and a passport size photo.
As anyone can easily download any admin card card, how secure is our photo and address there..? By generating random admin card download links, all the admin cards can be downloaded from there with in two or three hours.
Everyday, lots of Indian websites are being attacked and hacked by Pakistani and Chinese hackers. If the security of data in sites are this much low, no need of them, Kerala people are more than enough.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 released.....

Essential PC Protection

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 – the backbone of your PC’s security system, offering real-time automated protection from a range of IT threats. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 provides the basic tools needed to protect your PC. Our award-winning technologies work silently in the background while you enjoy your digital life.

Kaspersky Internet Security continues to provide users with a high level of protection that includes security tools not offered by many competitors. The 2011 version won't change the face of personal computer security, although this particular package of security options and top-shelf performance has attracted enough devotees to make it a best-selling program, both in and out of the security field. A three-user license for Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 retails for $79.99. 


Features and Support:
There are several new and notable features in Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, including improvements to the sandboxing tool introduced last year called Safe Run. The updates to Safe Run allow the feature to be used on the desktop itself, protecting users systemwide. The in-app access to Safe Run includes a folder that bottlenecks files created during Safe Run, allowing them to be saved to the unsandboxed desktop but scanning them for threats before allowing them to move freely about your system.
Kaspersky is clearly proud of the product, promoting it to a more prominent spot in the navigation, and it works better than it did last year. Transitioning between sandboxed and unsandboxed states is smooth. It's been designed to resemble the Windows default remote access tool, so getting around in the feature presents a nearly flat learning curve.
The new SafeSurf option is derived in part from Safe Run. It launches Web sites in a safe environment, scanning them before they fully resolve on your computer for familiar threats. This is useful for preventing legitimate sites that have been infected from infecting you. This works parallel to the phishing-prevention feature, which takes a more aggressive stance in this year's version by looking for URL features that can often indicate a phishing attempt. The attempt won't occur in a vacuum, though, because Kaspersky will ping its home base so that the company's researchers can further analyze the threat.

Kaspersky Internet Security combines the essential security of our advanced Anti-Virus software with additional layers of defense, such as firewall and parental controls. Innovative technologies deliver real-time protection, monitor suspicious activity, and block dangerous actions before they can cause harm - all while working silently in the background.
Features include: Up-to-the-second Internet threat protection. Safe Desktop for opening suspicious programs without risk to your PC. Enhanced parental controls to limit or log activities and communications.

What's new in this version:
  • Installation on infected PC with auto-download of Support's AVP Tool
  • Installation CD can be used as a bootable Rescue Disk--Retail customers don't need to manually create a Rescue Disk, it comes ready to use out of the box.
  • Desktop Security Gadget--For quick access to your protection status and settings.
  • System Watcher-- for proactive defense against emerging threats.
  • Proactive protection against phishing
  • Safe Desktop and Safe Run for Websites...

Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10

Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is designed to scan and disinfect x86 and x64-compatible computers that have been infected. The application should be used when the infection is so severe that it is impossible to disinfect the computer using anti-virus applications or malware removal utilities (such as Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool) running under the operating system.
In this case, disinfection is more efficient because malware programs do not gain control when the operating system is being loaded. In the emergency repair mode, you can only start objects scan tasks, update databases roll back updates and view statistics.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 allows performing the following actions:
  • Configure objects scan settings:
    • change security level
    • change actions to be performed on detected objects
    • create a scan scope
    • change types of objects to be scanned
    • limit scan time
    • configure scan of compound files
    • change a scan method
    • set default settings
  • Configure databases update settings:

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition


Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition is a powerful and reliable solution for protecting corporate mobile users from malicious programs, SMS spam and Internet attacks that target mobile platforms. It also provides protection for confidential data stored on a smartphone should the device be lost or stolen.

Why is it necessary to protect corporate smartphones? Mission-critical business data can be damaged or stolen by malware written especially for smartphones. A smartphone can fall victim to Internet attacks when downloading information from the Internet. Infected mobile devices can be used to penetrate the network perimeter of a corporate IT system. The loss or theft of a smartphone means that sensitive corporate information is in the hands of a stranger. In addition, SMS spam causes much inconvenience.

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition 7.0 is designed to help companies mitigate those risks. It combines Kaspersky Lab’s latest technologies for mobile platforms with extensive experience in combating malware, hacker attacks and spam. The solution provides comprehensive protection for corporate smartphones and the data stored on them. Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition integrates closely with Kaspersky Administration Kit, giving the system administrator centralized control over high-level protection on any network node, be it a file server, workstation or mobile device.
Easy to deploy

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition can be installed from one point by a single system administrator regardless of the number of mobile device users in an organization, and even if those users are located in branch offices or abroad on business trips. Installation can be performed in two ways: via a PC using Microsoft ActiveSync or Nokia PC Suite, or via SMS by sending a link to the package and the configuration from the Administration Console using GSM Modem.
Flexible administration

In the event of a virus epidemic or simply the threat of a virus infection, the system administrator can change the mobile device security parameters for all users, or for a specific group. Some or all changes made to the settings by users can be blocked and the system administrator’s settings enforced in a security policy.
Complete control

Whether the user is in the office or overseas, you always have full control over their mobile device’s security. When a device has Internet access, it automatically establishes a connection with the server, receives updates and applies any new policies enforced by the system administrator.

The system administrator can receive information about any mobile device at any time. This includes the date of the most recent connection to Kaspersky Administration Kit, the status of antivirus and anti-spam protection, as well as reports from the Anti-Theft and Firewall modules.

Functions

Anti-Theft protection. To protect corporate data stored on a smartphone if it is lost or stolen, a user or system administrator can block the smartphone or delete files, messages, and the list of contacts remotely. The user can also find out who the “new owner” of the lost device is.

    * SMS Block. If a smartphone is lost, the user can send a “hidden SMS message” to the original SIM card. Access to the smartphone will be blocked until a pre-set password is entered.
    * SMS Clean. This function is similar to the SMS Block feature, but instead of blocking the smartphone it cleans the device’s memory.
    * SIM Watch. If a smartphone is stolen, the “new owner” will most likely immediately replace the original SIM card. The SIM Watch function will prevent the “new owner” from accessing any personal data without the initial SIM card inserted in the device. If the initial SIM card is replaced with a new one, the SMS Watch function will send the original user the new telephone number of the device without the “new owner’s” knowledge.

Antivirus protection. Kaspersky Mobile Security provides real-time anti-malware scanning of all incoming files and connections to keep you free of malicious programs. The system administrator can pre-set the best time for antivirus scanning and it will be performed automatically. If an infected object is detected and cannot be disinfected, it is stored in the quarantine folder or deleted.

Firewall. The system administrator can select one of the integrated IP firewall protection levels. Depending on the level selected, one or more restrictions will be applied to provide user security.

Anti-Spam for SMS. Telephone numbers of known spam sources, sender names, unwanted words or phrases can be added to a blacklist to ensure that such messages are always blocked. The user can also add addresses from the contact list to a whitelist.

Automatic updates. Antivirus databases are updated automatically at intervals set by the system administrator. Updates are available via WAP/HTTP (GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, etc.) or via a PC.
