Download Utopia: A 17-Year-Old File-Sharing Program Is Still the Best Place to Find Obscure Music
▻http://gizmodo.com/download-utopia-a-17-year-old-file-sharing-program-is-1769008601
Soulseek is the creation of Nir Arbel, a programmer who worked on the development team behind the original release of Napster, and it functions in similar ways. What started in 1999 as a means of trading techno and dance tracks grew to encompass rare and obscure music of all genres, slowly becoming an audiophile’s paradise. Vinyl rips of unknown soul groups? Cassette-only harsh noise? Rare compilations from a long-dead black metal label? It’s all there. You can also download the new Justin Bieber album, but with a glut of legal ways to listen to Purpose, it’s certainly not where Soulseek shines.
...
The mid 2000s also saw second generation P2Ps and early Bittorrent indexes land in the crosshairs of trade organizations like the RIAA —and the majority went belly-up. Their replacements were blogs that used file storage services like Megaupload and Rapidshare to disseminate obscure music, and Grooveshark-style unsanctioned streaming sites for more populist tastes. By 2012, Megaupload had been taken to court, Rapidshare was neutered, and niche blogs had no reliable way to share their prized collections. Between 2014 and 2015 just about every streaming service that wasn’t legally buttoned up either shut down or was acquired and revived under corporate auspices. Sexier options and a split in the core client meant Soulseek’s user base declined significantly during this time, but it wasn’t enough to fell it completely.
Soulseek isn’t the only P2P to survive these major crackdowns, but where single source P2Ps are concerned, it essentially stands alone—a living fossil. Former competitors that still receive software updates are prohibitively difficult for many users to configure, have transitioned away from their old protocols to become Bittorrent-only, or are virtual ghost towns.

Leaked NSA Malware Is Helping Hijack Computers Around the World
▻https://theintercept.com/2017/05/12/the-nsas-lost-digital-weapon-is-helping-hijack-computers-around-the-wo
In mid-April, an arsenal of powerful software tools apparently designed by the NSA to infect and control Windows computers was leaked by an entity known only as the “Shadow Brokers.” Not even a whole month later, the hypothetical threat that criminals would use the tools against the general public has become real, and tens of thousands of computers worldwide are now crippled by an unknown party demanding (...)
Warning: for Windows systems: important spread of #WannaCry (#Wcry) ransomware
▻http://thehackernews.com/2017/05/wannacry-ransomware-unlock.html?m=1
▻https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/05/an-nsa-derived-ransomware-worm-is-shutting-down-computers-worldwide
The malware/worm is causing disruptions at banks, hospitals, telecommunications services, train stations, and other mission-critical organisations in multiple countries, including the UK, Spain, Germany, and Turkey. Telefonica, FedEx, and the UK government’s National Health Service (NHS) have been hit. Operations were cancelled, x-rays, test results and patient records became unavailable and phones did not work.
The ransomware completely encrypts all your files and render them unusable. They ask you to pay some money to get the decryption key. ($300 to $600 worth in bitcoins). Paying does not guarantee you will get a decryption key though.
The malware spreads through social engineering e-mails.
Be careful with any attachments you receive from unknown sources (and even known sources). Make sure the files are sent intentionally.
Watch out for .pdf or .hta files, or links received via e-mail that point to .pdf or .hta files.
More than 45.000 computers worldwide have already been infected, but there appears to be a kill switch, i.e. a way to stop its spreading.
As one of the first operations, the malware tries to connect to the website www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com. It doesn’t actually download anything there, just tries to connect. If the connection succeeds, the program terminates.
This can be seen as a kind of kill switch provision, or perhaps it had some particular reason. Whichever it is, the domain has now been sinkholed and the host in question now resolves to an IP address that hosts a website. Therefore, nothing will happen on any new systems that runs the malware. This will of course not help anyone already infected.
Microsoft has released a patch to block the malware on Windows machines:
MS17-010
▻https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-010.aspx
It is important to apply the patch because other variants of the malware can exploit the same vulnerability and/or use a different domain name check.

Hackers are trying to reignite WannaCry with botnet attacks
As WannaCry went to sleep by registering a certain domain and putting a live web server on that IP (kill switch), hackers now try to bring down that web server so that the WannaCry infected machines would wake up again

Supposedly, it is possible to get decryption keys without paying the ransom - provided you didn’t reboot your windows machine.
▻http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/wannacry-how-decrypt-recover-your-data-infected-windows-systems-1622512
IBTimes UK earlier reported how French cybersecurity researcher Adrien Guinet, from Quarkslab, released a decrypting tool that allowed only Windows XP users to recover their data. Guinet’s work was advanced by internationally acclaimed ethical hacker Benjamin Delpy who exploited the shortcomings of WannaCry and used it to create a tool called WanaKiwi that produces a decryption key for Windows XP, 7, 2003, 2008 and possibly Vista.
French ethical hacker and co-founder of CloudVolumes, Matt Suiche confirmed that WanaKiwi has been tested and shown to work on Windows 7 and older Windows versions like XP, 2003 and more. Europe also tweeted confirming they were able to use the tool for decryption.
How it works
While WannaKey extracted prime numbers that had not been erased from the system and were vital to the decryption key, it required a separate app to transform those bits into the secret key. WanaKiwi scours the memory of the infected systems, extracts the p and q variables the secret key was based on, and reassembles the finished key all by itself. The tool then uses the key to decrypt all files locked by the WannaCry ransomware.
The WanaKiwi decryption tool:

NYT : ▻https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/world/europe/international-cyberattack-ransomware.html?_r=0
Right Now Hospitals and other institutions across Europe, Asia and beyond were simultaneously struck on Friday by a cyberattack that locked their computer systems and demanded a ransom to restore access, leading to chaos in emergency rooms, in doctors’ offices and aboard ambulances.
More than 45,000 attacks in as many as 74 countries, including Russia, Turkey, Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, have recorded attacks on their systems, according to Kapersky Labs, a Russian cybersecurity firm.
Hackers appear to have exploited a flaw in Microsoft’s Windows operating system first discovered by the U.S. National Security Agency. The flaw, and a tool to exploit it with malicious software, were made public in April by a hacker collective known as Shadow Brokers.

Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE are Coming to the Windows Store

Ubuntu will soon be available to install from the Windows Store on Windows 10. Nope, I’m not drunk, and you’re not hallucinating. The news was announced by Microsoft’s Terry Myers at the software giant’s annual Build conference for developers. What’s more Ubuntu isn’t the only Linux distribution planned. Microsoft says it is working with SUSE and Fedora to bring their […] This post, Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE are Coming to the Windows Store, was written by Joey Sneddon and first appeared on OMG!

Anyway, Microsoft say that “WSL was always designed to be distro-agnostic and this is the first time we’re exercising this aspect of the system” and invite developers to try things out and report issues on their Github page.
It’s important to remember that while you will be able to “install” Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE from the Windows Store you won’t be installing a Linux distro with GUI desktop environment, display server, and suite of X11 apps.
Not that people haven’t already worked around that.
But what you do get is a full Ubuntu/Fedora/OpenSUSE user space and development environment on Windows, without the overhead of virtualization or emulation, running in parallel with your Windows-y tools — and that’s nothing no small feat of engineering!

CSS-Only Multi-Color Backgrounds – Prototyping: From UX to Front End

The Metro design UI brought by Microsoft with Windows 8 may not have been largely received with a positive response (mostly because of the major UI overhaul from Windows 7), but it opened the doors to a new era of User Interface. Other than introducing a beautiful implementation of flat design, thin typography and expansive images, it brought what I believe was lacking in the traditional Skeuomorph design: colorfulness.
