Ubuntu Tribe, una comunitat d'internautes bascos defensors del programari lliure, prepara un film força divertit per a promoure la cultura lliure. És una història d'amor entre l'executiu d'una multinacional informàtica i d'una 'hacker' experta en seguretat, addicta al programari lliure. L'home de negocis va al País Basc per convèncer-la que entri a treballar a la multinacional nord-americana, però aviat s'enamora de la noia i... de la filosofia altruista de la cultura lliure.
Ubuntu Tribe la película está basada en la comunidad vasca de desarrolladores de software libre, que a día de hoy cuenta con muchas dificultades para adaptarse a la velocidad de las nuevas tecnologías. No obstante, el esfuerzo de esta comunidad ha conseguido que de momento el euskara no se haya apeado del tren de las nuevas tecnologías de la información. De hecho, el desarrollo y uso de todo tipo de aplicaciones es proporcionalmente desmesurado en comparación con la población vascoparlante.
La trama de Ubuntu Tribe se sitúa a caballo entre Redmond (EEUU) y el País Vasco. Un cargo importante de una poderosa corporación informática fija sus ojos en una joven hacker vasca, Izaro, después de que ésta haya descubierto diversas vulnerabilidades graves del sistema operativo Wista. Software privativo. Obnubilado por el buen hacer de la virtuosa desarrolladora, tratará de contratarla a toda costa, para lo que se desplazará al viejo continente.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the statistics surrounding the most common security threats faced by Internet users. There is an estimated 1.1 billion Internet users worldwide, therefore it is important to know what security threats your computer may be vulnerable to while using the Internet. Threats discussed in this paper will include spam, phishing, computer viruses, hackers, and spyware/malware.
The statistical analysis will show the current percentages of incidents as they relate to different regions of the world as well as discuss the severity of each threat.
Most importantly this paper will discuss measures a user can take to defend themselves against these threats and known vulnerabilities. Due to the large number of Internet users, it is probable that many of them are unaware of these threats and what they can and should be doing to protect themselves.
With identity theft on the rise, it is imperative to understand Internet security threats now more than ever. The goal of this paper is to help those users understand the seriousness of current Internet security threats and to show them ways to protect their personal information.
[Security Hacks] Tunneling SMB over SSH: Secure file sharing. El concepte és ben simple: redireccionar tot el tràfic SMB d'una màquina remota a un sistema de la xarxa interna, encapsulant el tràfic NetBIOS dins d'una connexió SSH.
Using SSH tunnels, you can encrypt all your network traffic and redirect it through a trusted computer when you’re connected to an untrusted network. The goal of this hack is to enable Windows users securely access shared files on any Samba server.

We’re going to use a virtual network adapter. Basically, a virtual network adapter is a software application that allows a computer to connect to a network. We’re going to add a virtual adapter to our Windows computer and create a SSH tunnel over the virtual interface.
