Project Glass, Fantasy or Reality?

Google has just introduced the Project Glass, a smart glasses with a variety of functions. In the video, it appears capable of sophisticated Project Glass. But there are doubts about the function of the Project Glass is fantastic.

The Google video, the glasses could be governed simply by the sound. Project Glass able to make video calls, send messages, to know the weather and the location to show the way. The device is based on augmented reality technology.

Google founders, Sergey Brin recently spotted wearing the goggles so many people believe its release to the consumer a matter of time. Media New York Times said the release of Project Glass may be the end of this year.

But some experts doubt that existing technologies in video eyewear that it can be realized. "In a simple fake video, Google created a level where the hardware is too much they may not be able to reach it," said Blair MacIntyre, director of the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech.

"The small screen is visible in the photo the sunglasses can not give experience like that shown in the video," said Pranav Mistry, a researcher at the MIT Media Lab who quoted from Computerworld, Monday (04/09/2012).

He stated that although Google is able to overcome technical obstacles, such glasses still take at least two more years to be used en masse. Another challenge is to create a transparent screen to view the content in comfort and on the other hand remains able to see the environment as well.

Google itself does not explain in detail the technology behind Project Glass. "We're not ready to provide additional information at this time," Google said.

Well, the iPhone 5 is said to be released shortly thereafter. A rumor blog reveals that mention the iPhone 5 will be released on 15 June. This news is getting stronger after people in Foxconn, Apple's manufacturing partners confirmed the issue.

According to sources, it is true Foxconn job opening for the workers as much as possible, which he reached 18 thousand jobs. This was done to pursue the production of iPhone 5 to be released next June.

"(A massive recruitment) was done because it will be sold in June," said the source to respond to questions about the iPhone 5, which is quoted by TV Tokyo interview.

If it is true both released close together, presumably interesting to see who is more powerful and who is more attractive to the lovers of technology. Who will win this fight?

Trojan Duqu, Advanced Trojan with Mysterious Script

Trojan Duqu successful sabotage Iran's nuclear facilities are written in a programming language that is not known. It was discovered by anti-malware experts Kaspersky Lab in a research.

Duqu a sophisticated trojan that was created by the same people who make Stuxnet. This malware has backdoor goal as a system and facilitate the theft of confidential data.

Trojan Duqu biggest mystery unsolved is how the program communicates with the server Command and Control (C & C) is now successfully infect a victim.

Duqu module whose role is to interact with the C & C is part of the payload DLL Duqu. After a comprehensive analysis of the payload DLL, Kaspersky Lab researchers found there was a special section in the payload DLL, specifically communicating with C & C, written in a programming language that is not known.

Kaspersky Lab researchers call this unknown part as "Duqu Framework".

Unlike other Duqu, Duqu Framework is written in C + + and compiled with Visual C + + 2008 Microsoft's.

Author Possible uses in-house framework to generate intermediary C code, or use a programming language that is completely different.

However, the researcher Kaspersky Lab has stated that the language is object-oriented and conducted a number of activities in accordance with the application network.

Language Framework Duqu very special and Payload DLL allows to operate independently with other Duqu module and connect it to the C & C through several channels such as Windows HTTP, network sockets and proxy server.

It also allows Payload DLL process the request HTTP server directly from the C & C, secretly move the duplicate information that was stolen from the infected to the C & C, can even distribute the payload other hazardous into other devices in the network, and creates a form of control and the latent spread infection to other computers.

"Given the scale of Duqu project, which may create its own framework Duqu is a different team than the group that created the driver and the writing system that exploited the infection," said Alexander Gostev, Chief Security Expert Kaspersky Lab.

"Given the high level of customization and exclusivity on the programming language was created, it is possible this program was created not only to prevent outsiders know the spying operations cyber and its interaction with the C & C, but also to distinguish it from internal groups Duqu others are responsible for writing the other of this program. "

According to Alexander Gostev, making its own programming language shows how high the ability of the developers working on this project in the program, and demonstrate the ability of financial and human resources are mobilized to ensure the project runs.

Kaspersky experts noted the biggest victims in Iran. Duqu generally looking for information about production management systems in various industrial sectors, as well as information about trade relations between the several companies in Iran.

Kaspersky Lab invites community of programmers or anyone who recognizes the framework, toolkit or programming language unknown to contact stopduqu@kaspersky.com Duqu Trojan.

Duqu was first discovered in September 2011. However, according to Kaspersky Lab, the trace Duqu have been tracked since August 2007.
