Suggested The Linux 3.1 Kernel logo

This new logo was proposed just this weekend and the current discussion to see whether it will be accepted for Linux 3.1 can be found in this LKML thread. To mark the upcoming release of the Linux 3.1 kernel IBM’s Darrick Wong has proposed changing the familiar solo-Tux logo to something more, well, befitting of the version number.

This proposed logo for the Linux 3.1 kernel isn't to raise awareness for any animals or other causes. but to poke fun at Microsoft Windows 3.1. Darrick Wong of IBM has proposed replacing the Tux logo in the Linux 3.1 kernel with a new logo that makes mockery of Microsoft's Windows 3.1 operating system that began selling 19 years ago.

Android app gives you free Web access via texting

 

Getting something for nothing is awfully hard to resist. If you have T-Mobile's unlimited messaging plan for your Android phone, the "something" is Web access and "for nothing" means no data plan required.
Smozzy is an Android app that cleverly packages communications between Android browser and Web as messages transmitted via T-Mobile's text messaging service. The result is slow but free Web access (given that you have T-Mobile's unlimited messaging plan).
Under this scheme, Web requests are sent via SMS to Smozzy's server, which retrieves the pages and returns them to your phone via MMS. The tricky part is in how Smozzy fits the camel through the needle's eye. The Smozzy server chops up a Web page, zips each piece, packages the zip files as PNGs, and sends the faux image files via MMS. The app unpacks the files and reassembles the Web page.
Smozzy's Android Market page includes these caveats from the developer, Jeff Donahue:

This app currently works with U.S. T-MOBILE SERVICE ONLY. This application may send and receive a large number of messages, so use of it without an unlimited messaging plan is NOT recommended. It is currently in beta, and has been tested only on Nexus S and HTC G2 devices.

ExtremeTech's Sebastian Anthony lays out some of the app's downsides:

There are some security issues, of course--there's no encryption (though some could be added), so passwords are sent as plaintext--and the entire service currently runs through one man's, cheap-and-cheerful VPS, so it would be unwise to rely on Smozzy being available. It's also incredibly likely that T-Mobile will close this hole, so you probably shouldn't use Smozzy as an excuse to cancel your overpriced data plan and transfer to T-Mobile.

Still, you've got to admire the creativity, and hey, free is free--for as long as it lasts.
Donahue is considering extending the app to other unlimited messaging services beyond T-Mobile, but he's not sure about other platforms, he said. "It was quite a bit of work getting it to work on Android."
Smozzy is a beta release. Donahue is taking a wait-and-see approach before deciding whether to do a commercial release and figuring out how to charge for it, he said. And yes, T-Mobile could shut him down. "I don't think there's much I can do if they block me," he said.
I wonder if they will. Does the disadvantage of some T-Mobile users getting data for free outweigh more people joining T-Mobile to get data for free? What do you think?

Hacker's Take Over NBC News Twitter Account

A Twitter account belonging to NBC News was hacked on Friday evening by an entity that claimed, falsely, that an airplane had crashed at the site of ground zero in New York.
The account was swiftly taken offline and the news division apologized. The incident was deemed serious enough that the news anchor Brian Williams read the apology out loud on the “NBC Nightly News.”
“The NBC News Twitter account was hacked late this afternoon and as a result, false reports of a plane attack on ground zero were sent to @NBCNews followers,” the statement issued by the news division and read by Mr. Williams said. “We are working with Twitter to correct the situation and sincerely apologize for the scare that could have been caused by such a reckless and irresponsible act.”
The NBC Twitter account had about 130,000 followers, only a fraction of whom likely saw the Twitter message when it was posted. Still, the false claim rippled across the short messaging Web site in a matter of minutes, alarming some people on a day of heightened anxieties about potential terrorist attacks. Authorities have warned of a nonspecific bomb threat possibly tied to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The attacks will be commemorated at ground zero on Sunday.
The false claim was knocked down with impressive speed on Friday, suggesting that both Twitter and news organizations are learning how to grapple with such incidents.
Ryan Osborn, the director of social media for NBC News, said he saw the hackers’ Twitter message appear online about 40 seconds after it was posted. He was already logged into the account and quickly realized that the password had been changed. “We are taking this breach very seriously,” said Mr. Obsorn, who said the organization has existing security and password policies in place.
Mr. Osborn contacted officials at Twitter, and he said they suspended the account within eight minutes, including the account that claimed responsibility for the hack.
What helped minimize the spread of misinformation was that employees inside NBC News — and others on Twitter who recognized that the account had been hacked — immediately sent out tweets saying so. “We have a great community throughout this building and throughout the Web,” Mr. Osborn said. “It was great to see people correct such terrible misinformation.”
He added, “For anyone who works in journalism, it is terrifying to see people not respect facts. It is scary.”
Twitter declined to comment on the incident, citing a policy against commenting on individual accounts. In July, when a Twitter account belonging to Fox News was hacked and was used to disseminate false claims about President Obama, the Web site issued this series of tips about account security.
Twitter said earlier this week that it now had about 100 million active users each month, some of whom depend on the service for news and information.

Vodafone Blue, Facebook-integrated smartphone launched by Vodafone

With the Facebook fever running an all time high, it didn't take too long for service providers to jump onboard, and begin offering Facebook integrated phones. Vodafone has come up with its own Facebook integrated smartphone called Vodafone Blue, which brings together the qualities of a mobile device with popular social networking. The Vodafone Blue is moderately priced at Rs. 4,950. The phone looks very similar to HTC ChaCha and it even has a dedicated Facebook key.

Named aptly as the Vodafone Blue, the phone offers decent amount of features for it's price. It sports a QWERTY keypad with optical track pad and a 2.4-inch QVGA display. The phone comes topped with additional features such as pre-installed apps like Opera browser and a full Facebook app experience. The phone's memory can be expanded up to 16GB and it offers flash with its 2 MP camera. The device is manufactured by Alcatel and runs on propriety OS.

The best part about the deal is that Vodafone would offer free access to Facebook for a year from the date of its purchase. This means the users can enjoy browsing on Facebook for a whole year for free. Meant for Facebook fanatics who are on the social networking web site 24/7, the phone's user interface is all about offering various Facebbok features. These include feeds, pictures and notifications which can be accessed from the phone's menu itself.

The phone was launched today in Mumbai at an event attended by Kumar Ramanathan CMO, Vodafone Essar and Peter Becker Marketing Director - Terminals Vodafone Group PLC.

PlusClout Brings Clout Score To Google+

Yes I meant Clout, not Klout! The makers of FindPeopleOnPlus.com have launchedPlusClout, a service that measures social influence on Google+. The site borrows the idea from Klout and adapts it to Google+. The site takes into consideration data from FindPeopleOnPlus.com to arrive at the score. With 15 million public Google+ profiles and items shared (posts, comments, +1′s etc.), PlusClout uses numerous public variables like number of followers, frequency and volume of information sharing etc. Mix in some mathematics and you have a PlusClout score.

So, who are the most influential people on Google+? No surprises, they are all geeks! Marissa Mayer(Google), Kevin Rose (Square), Vic Gundotra(Google), Guy Kawasaki(AllTop) and Robert Scoble(Rackspace) have made it to the list with a score of 95+.

Joining the ranks at the bottom of the table is none other than Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with a score of “0″. Its evident from his Google+ profile that he joined Google+ out of curiosity and with no posts till date, a score of zero seems fair.

How to Hide IP Address and Spoof MAC Address | Become Anonymous on Internet

Now today i am going to have another interesting Tutorial , i.e HOW TO HIDE IP ADDRESS AND MAC ADDRESS AND BECOME ANONYMOUS ON NETWORK.
Many of my Daily readers have asked me about how can we become anonymous and do any hacking trick, so by now you will be having anew trick to become anonymous, such that no one can track you. Like wise you can send Phishing pages, spoofed pages and backtrack attack without the fear of being caught.
All the tutorials I have seen on internet tell people How To Set up RAT’s, Keyloggers etc. People follow these steps and start spreading, without doing anything to prevent themselves from being traced. You should follow the below steps before you start spreading, otherwise you will be easy to trace. There is no such thing as 100% anonymous, but this will help you.

This tutorial will show you how to become anonymous on the internet.

How To Hide IP And MAC Address And Becoming Anonymous On Network

How To Spoof/Hide MAC Address

First we will spoof our MAC address. MAC stands for “Media Access Control”. It is commonly used by the authorities to trace hackers. To make it harder to trace us, we can change it!Step1 : Firstly, download the Program NMAC here: 

Step2 : After you have installed it, open it up, and click proceed.You should see a list at the top of the window.

Click on the first one.

Note: The drop-down box under “Network Connection” changes.If you are using a wired connection, you need to select the one that says “Local Area Connection”. If you are using a wireless connection, you need to select the one that says “Wireless Network Connection”. If you are using a VPN, that should be visible too.

 Step3 : Once you have found the correct one, click “Random” as many times as you like.

 Step4 : Now click on “Update MAC”.

 

Click “Yes” to the window that follows, and wait until you get a window telling you that the adapter was restarted succesfully.

Now You just spoofed your MAC address.

 

How To Hide your IP address and encrypt your connection

Next, you need a VPN-Virtual Private Network, This will hide your IP address and encrypt your connection.Step1 : Goto hotspotshield and Click on “Download The Latest Version” on the right-hand side of the page.Note : If you can afford a paid VPN, it is recommended, but a good free one is Hotspot Shield.

 Step2 : Once you have downloaded and installed it, a web page should open up and it should connect to the VPN.Now your IP address will b hide and your Location will be Fake. Just like I used it, and My Location Was set to Milpitas/california – USA.
Note: You cannot go to some sites when using a VPN. This is because of security.
Congratulations! You now have a VPN!

So friends, I hope you like this tutorial.If you have any problem in this tutorial, mention it in comments section.

New App Store Launched by Skype

Skype has launched its own app store, or app directory as it's called, offering its users third-party apps that can integrate with the company's online calling and messaging service.

Third-party apps have been available through Skype in the past, but this is the company's first effort to host a more official app store where people can search for, browse, and download the software they want.

Skype users can browse a list of all apps--for now the store offers only around 23 apps. Alternatively, people can click on different categories, such as business, call recording, and desktop sharing to drill down further.

You can search for an app by a specific name or keyword, though in my testing, the search feature didn't deliver accurate results. An advanced search that lets you hunt down apps by category, cost, and platform, seemed to work more reliably.

Among the selections, you'll find such apps as VodBurner Video Call Recorder, which lets you record your Skype video calls; InnerPass Screen Sharing, which lets you share your desktop and other screens during a call; and VuRoom, which expands on Skype's video conferencing and collaboration features for business users.

Some of the apps are free; some cost a few dollars or more. Clicking on the page for a specific app will display more details about it, including its features and requirements, a brief description, and any ratings or comments from other users. Skype also displays a window at the top of the app directory where you can scroll to see new apps, the top free apps, and the top paid apps.

Developers who've built their own app for Skype can submit it to the company for a potential spot in the directory. And with only 23 apps right now, there's certainly room for a lot more

Google TV headed to The U.K

Google could be bringing Google TV to the good ol' U of K within the next six months, the Telegraph reports.
Google TV is built on Google's own Android operating system, and will basically put the Chrome Web browser inside your TV, letting you search the Web and stream video from TV providers, or watch your own videos.
Google TV lets you run Android apps on your TV, something we suspect has huge potential. Imagine a spot of Angry Birds on a massive screen, for example, or having Spotify streaming over your telly during a crazy party.
The service runs through a set-top box, but in the US Sony sells TVs with Google TV built-in. We'd love to see some of these heading to the UK in the near future, so we'll be keeping a close eye during IFA, the big tech conference in Germany that kicks off next week.
Google chairman Eric Schmidt is giving a lecture at the Edinburgh International Television Festival this evening, so we could hear more then.
Previously we thought Google TV would never find a home among our dark, satanic mills -- the Big G said it had "no plans beyond the US" in May last year. But maybe, just maybe, Google has seen fit to spread the love around. We suspect we'll be hearing more shortly.
The concept of streaming video through your telly is nothing new -- loads of set-top boxes and TVs already offer services such as YouTube and BBC iPlayer. But we'd hope one from Google would be easier to use than most, and would feature more delicious video content.

4G Could mean the End of Unemployment for Nearly Half a Million Americans

Believe it or not, but higher demand for faster ways to find a phone number for take-out and other mobile device desires could spur the creation of between 300,000 and 800,000 jobs within the United States according to a report released by Deloitte professional services. The implementation of 4G networks across the American landscape is a process much more sophisticated than previous network constructions.

Evolving to the speeds and connectivity associated with 4G is expected to cost near or around 100 to 150 billion dollars across all telecommunications companies. This, in turn, will drive not only immediate employment demands, but the establishment of peripheral industries that will employ further individuals.

But people shouldn't start scouring the classified just yet.

First off, there's increasing doubt being cast on American telecommunications providers when it comes to what defines 4G. Some are skating around the universally accepted International Telecommunications Union recommended definition of 4G, and, instead, marketing their new networks as 4G when they are in fact merely beefed up versions of preexisting 3G networks.

Secondly, let's not forget that data capacity within the American mobile service spectrum continues to be a major problem. Once the military and other priorities take their fair share, the little that is left can barely accommodate the several million 4G mobile devices expected to use these networks.

The boom projected by Deloitte assumes the development, creation, and implementation of 4G in the United States is going to be identical to what's been seen in the development of Asian and European 4G networks. However, it seems that as far as the telecommunications providers themselves are concerned, there isn't any immediate plan to follow suit with the global 4G norm. This could be due to the fact that our already extremely limited number of mobile service providers are in the midst of what could possibly be further mergers down the road. Nobody at the top wants to spend money on a new network if the industry is about to change in a year or so.

The Deloitte report looked ahead at what they consider to be a most definite demand for 4G in America that will be most likely to create more jobs. But they fail to factor in the American corporate propensity to think ahead only when it's profitable, and create opportunities only when their necessary for company objectives to be met.

In the meantime, millions of Americans await authentic 4G, while as many millions continue to look for work.

Microsoft is reportedly Locking down its Latest Windows 8 Build

Microsoft is reportedly locking down its latest Windows 8 build to prevent unauthorized people from installing it and leaking details about certain features, according to a story yesterday from WinRumors.
Some details about the latest Windows 8 build known as 8064 were already revealed a couple of days ago by WinRumors and other sources. The new build is apparently the Windows 8 Developer Preview that Microsoft is likely to unveil at its Build conference next month.
But in an attempt to thwart unauthorized users from accessing the new developer build, Microsoft has apparently set up unique product keys that are now required to install the operating system.
An internal e-mail from Intel published by WinRumors announced that generic product keys previously included with the builds would no longer be supported or available. Instead, people working with the new build would have to obtain new, special product keys. Though the e-mail is specific to Intel, tech site The Next Web sees it as unlikely that Intel would be singled out for this new process.
In a further attempt to lock down the new build from leaks, Microsoft has also reportedly taken steps to prevent users from hacking into DLL files to uncover hidden features, said WinRumors, citing information from users posting at the My Digital Life forum.
One poster on the forum who allegedly managed to peek at the new build revealed a few of the changes found, including a new boot-up screen, new wallpaper, and an Internet Explorer 10 Developer Preview, but no Windows Media Center or Windows DVD Maker.
Microsoft President Steven Sinofsky revealed in a blog earlier this week that the company would unveil a prerelease version of Windows 8 over the coming months. Though WinRumors believes he was likely referring to the Developer Preview edition, Sinofsky's blog seemed geared toward more than just developers, so an actual beta of the new OS could still surface over the next several months.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for further details.

'App Store' a New Windows 8 Feature

An app store is officially among the features Microsoft is working to include in Windows 8, much like Apple's App Store for OS X.
The revelation, which confirmed months of rumors, came today from Microsoft President Steven Sinofsky in a Building Windows 8 blog titled "Introducing the team." Among a list of teams associated with building the forthcoming operating system was "App Store."
Sinofsky said that work on the new OS is organized by feature teams, of which there are about 35, each containing 25 to 40 developers.
"Many of the teams listed below describe features or areas that you are familiar with or that you can probably figure out based on the name," he said. "As we post more, team members will identify themselves as part of these teams."
Microsoft representatives did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
Rumors that Microsoft was developing an app store for Windows have been around for more than a year. Based on a series of Windows 8 documents leaked June 2010, Microsoft has reportedly been eager to match Apple at its own game by offering its own dedicated app store.
An app store appeared in a demonstration of Windows 8 that Sinofsky gave at the All Things Digital D9 conference in late June. Included in the start-up menu tiles was a direct link to a Microsoft Store, suggesting that Microsoft was working it own version of an online application store, similar to Apple's App Store.
The company has also been working hard to keep Apple from winning a U.S. trademark for the phrase App Store. Microsoft argues the phrase is too generic to register and would restrict competitors' ability to use of the term to describe their own services.
Microsoft has not officially announced when the new OS would be released, but CEO Steve Ballmer said in May that the new OS would reach consumers in 2012, although the company later said Ballmer misspoke. In June, Vice President Dan'l Lewin hinted that Windows 8 would launch during the fall of 2012.

Windows 8 is as Revolution as Windows 95

Microsoft Corp's Windows 95 truly reinvented the PC experience and revolutionized the PC industry back sixteen years ago in 1995. This week Microsoft opened up Windows 8 development blog(Visit Blog Now !) and said that its next-generation Windows 8, which will be available for public testing in the coming months, will be as revolutionary as the legendary Windows 95.
"So much has changed since Windows 95 - the last time Windows was significantly overhauled - when the 'desktop' metaphor was established. Today more than two out of three PCs are mobile (laptops, netbooks, notebooks, tablets, slates, convertibles, etc.). Nearly every PC is capable of wireless connectivity. Screen sizes range from under 10" to wall-sized screens and multiple HD screens. Storage has jumped from megabytes to terabytes and has moved up to the cloud," said Steven Sinofsky, the president of Windows and Windows Live division at Microsoft.

Although Microsoft continues to remain mum about the release date of Windows 8, many believe that the next-generation Windows will be launched in 2012. In its new blog, the world's largest designer of software plans to share how it focuses on performance, reliability, compatibility, security, and quality of Windows 8 and plans to continue the dialog around performance and fundamental engineering of Windows with its customers and end-users.
Microsoft previewed its Windows 8 in June and started by showing user experience and interface on a range of mobile devices. The graphics user interface (GUI) is one of the most important elements of operating systems as end-users interact with it every day. But Microsoft stresses that the new GUI along with compatibility with ARM-based system-on-chips are not the only innovations when it comes to Windows 8. The software giant claims it has engineered changes across the full range of Windows capabilities.

"We know people who care a lot about networking want to know our plans there. We know people who are invested heavily in storage want to know what is new in that area. Many want to know about performance and fundamentals. We know developers, IT pros, and gamers all want to know what's new for them. There is so much packed into Windows 8 and there are so many unique and important lenses through which to view Windows 8, and so we want to be sure to take the time to cover as many of these topics as possible, to build up a shared understanding of why we’ve taken Windows where we have. So in the next weeks we will just start talking specifics of features, since there is no obvious place to start given the varying perspectives. From fundamentals, to user interface, to hardware support, and more, if something is important to you, we promise we'll get to it in some form or another," said Mr. Sinofsky.

Google to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5B

Google said today that it had agreed to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, adding valuable intellectual property and getting the Internet search giant directly into the handset business.

Google said it would pay $40 a share in cash for Motorola, a 63 percent premium to the company's closing price on Friday.
The deal shakes up the Android world. For the first time, Google will have a direct hand in the mobile business that it has fostered from a distance. While it provides the Android software critical to running millions of smartphones and tablets, it has yet to get into the design and manufacturing business itself, aside from a few experimental models with handset partners such as HTC and Samsung Electronics.
With Motorola, Google also gets a treasure trove of patents to defend itself and its partners with against a rising tide of legal opposition. Over the past few months, major technology players such as Apple and Oracle have sued either Google or its partners in an attempt to slow it down competitively and extract licensing fees.
Jha talked up the strength of its patent portfolio during the company's last quarterly conference call, suggesting he may get into the legal fray as well. The company already has an outstanding dispute with Microsoft and Apple. Last month, billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed that he was pushing for Motorola to sell its patent portfolio with the need for intellectual property at an all-time high.
Motorola, along with HTC, was a major early supporter of Android. Chief Executive Sanjay Jha scrapped the company's other projects and focused solely on Android, which paid off immensely when Verizon Wireless chose its original Droid to push as its hero phone during the 2009 holiday season. The company more recently had a flagship phone come out with the Atrix for AT&T, which Chief Executive Randall Stephenson used at one point, and also partnered with Sprint Nextel. Last month, it reported stronger second-quarter results, and hinted at a stronger fourth quarter.
But the company has struggled recently. While the Atrix featured heavy promotional support from AT&T, it wasn't a breakout hit. Its first tablet, the Xoom, failed to make a dent in the market, even after a price cut. And the company's long-delayed Droid Bionic for Verizon Wireless isn't expected until next month. The 4G capability for its Xoom is still unavailable despite hyping the feature at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
It's unclear what role Motorola will play in Google, and whether it will continue to manufacture smartphones under its own brand.
Google, however, attempted to maintain its neutral stance in Android land even after the deal.
"Our vision for Android is unchanged and Google remains firmly committed to Android as an open platform and a vibrant open source community," said Andy Rubin, senior vice president of mobile at Google. "We will continue to work with all of our valued Android partners to develop and distribute innovative Android-powered devices."

NVIDIA touts Quad-Core chip for Android, Windows 8

Nvidia's CEO boasted about the power frugality of an upcoming quad-core chip, as the company reported better-than-expected earnings today.

The graphics chip supplier swung to better-than-expected earnings in the fiscal second quarter ended July 31, buttressed by revenue from laptop graphics processing units used with systems built around Intel's "Sandy Bridge" processors.
Nvidia reported a profit of $151.6 million compared with a loss of $141 million in the year-earlier period. Revenue surged 25 percent to $1.02 billion. And gross margin--a critical profit indicator--jumped to 51.7 percent from 16.6 percent compared to last year. In the third quarter, revenue is expected to be up 4 percent to 6 percent from the second quarter.
Responding to an analyst's question during the earnings conference call, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said the upcoming Kal-El processor--likely the first mainstream quad-core ARM chip--will actually offer better power efficiency than the company's dual-core Tegra 2, currently used in tablets from Motorola, Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, and others. Those tablets are based on Google's Android "Honeycomb" operating system.
"Kal-El is so much better performance than Tegra 2. And so much lower power. Very few people have internalized that Kal-El is lower power in every use case compared to Tegra 2," Huang said. Kal-El is due later this year.
He also said that Nvidia has invested heavily in Android. "We've made very, very large investments in the Google operating system. And we have a great working relationship with [Google]. As soon as the next-generation Kal-El processor goes into production we can run like the wind."
And among persistent rumors that Texas Instruments is the favored chip supplier for Google's Ice Cream Sandwich operating system--the version of Android that follows Honeycomb and Gingerbread--Huang said, "I look forward to Ice Cream Sandwich and expect to be very successful with it."
But Nvidia's future is not all pegged on Android. Its quad-core chip is also targeted at Windows 8 tablets and laptops. "We're very bullish on Windows 8 for the second half of next year," he said.
Huang said Nvidia is currently in 53 phone SKUs and mentioned recent Tegra 2 design wins: the Motorola Photon 4G and Samsung Galaxy R.

Zero-day Exploit in iOS Games Exposed by a Teenagers (10-Year Old Girl)

A 10-year-old California girl’s presentation at a hacker conference in Las Vegas is getting a lot of attention. The girl, who uses the pseudonym “CyFi,” revealed a zero-day exploit in games on iOS and Android devices that independent researchers have confirmed as a new class of vulnerability Zero-day exploits are used or shared by attackers before the developer of the target software knows about the vulnerability. The girl first discovered the flaw earlier this year because she was bored with the pace of farm-style games.

While CyFi isn’t revealing which games are affected, most of them have time-dependent factors. She opened up the exploit by manually advancing a phone or tablet’s clock to force a game ahead in time. Some games block such a trick but the young hacker says she found ways to avoid those detections such as disconnecting the phone from Wi-Fi and making incremental clock adjustments.

CyFi’s presentation was part of DefCon Kids, a new offshoot of the annual hacker convention that features an area where kids can learn how to do things like open master locks, do certain kinds of hacks, code in scratch and communicate in code.

While her presentation at DefCon was her first public vulnerability disclosure, CyFi said she was only a little nervous. An artist, girl scout and downhill skier, she has spoken publically numerous times, usually at art galleries as a member of “The American Show,” an underground art collective based in San Francisco. According to her bio on the DefCon Kids Web site, CyFi has had her identity stolen twice.

Rosenblatt points out that the new DefCon Kids programming reflects that “members of the hacking community are getting older and raising families.”
