Secure 2010

Some people say 2010 will be the year of security. After the

world’s economic crisis and growing possibilities that appear in

the times of cloud computing and virtualization, companies and

enterprises computers and data are put at risk.

It not only concerns business – it affects individual users as

well. Attacks on Twitter and other portals recently have shown us

that nothing is safe, even though they do not contain any secret

data or sensitive information. Why are they attacked? To show

the security gaps? Give a proof of their power and unlimited

possibilities? Either way, those things are happening.

Recent attacks have shown that the security field needs to

evolve much faster than all other branches of technology. We

at hakin9 magazine are striving to give you the most recent

information and solutions that can keep your private computer

and data safe.

In this issue we focus on exploits and exploitation methods

that you may come across: mobile exploits, Null pointer

dereferences. You will find articles on movement on the mobile

exploit front, privacy keeping & exploitation methods, methods

of secrecy, manipulating the network with PacketFu and much

more.

As usual Julian Evans, our IT security expert discusses

malware trends expected in 2010 and Matthew Jonkman provide

a great emerging threats section!

As an addition you can read book and tool reviews -this time

even more than usual.

Enjoy!
