HeavyLoad V3.0

Screenshots

Heavyload is intended to stress all resources of a PC (the CPU, RAM, hard disk, operating system, etc.) in order to test reliability under a heavy load. This is useful for testing important MS Windows file or database servers before using them for production, or just to check if your new PC might get too hot when used intensively. To stress your PC or server, HeavyLoad writes a large test-file to the temp folder, it allocates physical and virtual memory, performs complex calculations and it draws patterns in its window.

ASUS, Intel Launch Expanded WePC Community to Guide Future Innovations

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 18, 2010 - A new and expanded WePC community launched today and is open to anyone with a passion for technology, especially ASUS products with Intel Inside®. Building on its mission to bridge innovation and technology with consumers’ needs, the new WePC.com has more ways for fans to present their ideas, interact with community members and drive product development for two of the world’s leading technology brands. As one of the first crowdsourcing communities, WePC.com empowered members to play an integral role in the PC design process of a number of cutting-edge technologies, such as intuitive touchscreen interfaces and kid-friendly netbooks. Last year at CeBIT, ASUS initiated the industry’s first dual-panel concept notebooks, making intuitive control possible. The community also supported the direction for the development of future pad devices. “We’ve experienced firsthand the power of our customers’ creativity in helping us build ground-breaking products that address their unique needs,” said Christine Yang, WePC community manager. “Our expanded community platform creates a ‘technology playground’ that gives consumers the chance to spark conversations and ideas for a wider range of technology offerings. Here, they can connect with us and each other in an engaging way.” The community features sections that are tailored to members’ diverse interests, such as those who value impeccable sound quality in high-fidelity home entertainment computers. Another section is geared toward serious multitaskers and “early adopters” interested in the evolving technology for pad devices. A third area is designed for parents who want to share information about how technology works in both their kids’ lives and family life. “We truly believe that having an active dialogue with our customers will help us deliver the highest quality products in partnership with ASUS,” said Katie Wallace, campaign manager, Intel Partner Marketing Group. “What matters to our biggest fans is important to us, so we’ve enhanced the community to give them more of what they want—a cool place where they can share ideas on current products, connect with others who are equally excited about technology and voice their opinions on what’s coming next.” The new community enlivens members’ experiences by offering challenges, contests and even more ways to participate. Fans can also join the conversation when they’re on Facebook, since the WePC Facebook page complements the WePC community with related features and functionality. In addition, WePC members who want to be more actively involved can apply to be part of an exclusive group that will play an integral role as the community grows and receive special perks, such as direct access to ASUS and Intel, unique product testing opportunities and exclusive events. WePC was developed in 2008 through collaboration between ASUS, an award-winning leader in PC hardware design, and Intel, a leader in silicon innovation. About WePC WePC.com is an online community and “technology playground”—a fun place where people who love technology can share their experiences and learn about cool new ASUS and Intel innovations. It features stimulating conversations, fun challenges and activities, and unique product learning opportunities. WePC members can voice their opinions and have a say in new features and innovations—all while earning points, prizes and badges.

Symantec to Congress: Stuxnet is 'wake-up call'

Dean Turner, director of the Global Intelligence Network at Symantec Security Response

 
The Stuxnet worm is a "wake-up call" because of its complexity and its aim at critical infrastructure systems, a Symantec director told a U.S. congressional committee today.
The malware is a milestone in many ways, Dean Turner, director of Symantec Security Response's Global Intelligence Network, said in testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
It is the first known threat to: spy on and reprogram industrial control systems and grant hackers control of critical infrastructures; use four zero-day vulnerabilities; compromise two digital certificates; inject code into industrial control systems and hide the code from operators; and include a programmable logic controller (PLC) rootkit to reprogram PLCs and hide the changes, he said.
"Stuxnet is an incredibly large and complex threat," Turner said. "In fact, it is one of the most complex threats that we have analyzed to date at Symantec."
"Stuxnet demonstrates the vulnerability of critical national infrastructure industrial control systems to attack through widely used computer programs and technology. Stuxnet is a wake-up call to critical infrastructure systems around the world," he said. "Stuxnet has highlighted that direct attacks to control critical infrastructure are possible and not necessarily spy-novel fictions. The real-world implications of Stuxnet are beyond any threat we have seen in the past."
It's still unknown who is responsible for Stuxnet and exactly what the target was, although there has been speculation--bolstered by recent research from Symantec--that Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility could have been a target.
The worm spreads via holes in Windows, but doesn't unleash its payload unless there is specific Siemens software used in industrial control systems on the system, such as that used in power plants, dams and chemical facilities.
Whoever is behind it knows industrial control systems, so it's not likely that a typical cybercriminal gang developed it, Turner said.
Stuxnet has infected hundreds of thousands of computers, mostly home or office PCs. It's also infected an unnamed utility company in the San Diego area, according to antivirus firm Eset. And Siemens has confirmed infections at about 14 industrial control systems, but it's unknown exactly how the industrial control systems were affected.

Hacker offers advice to prosecutor in AT&T-iPad case

Andrew Auernheimer, aka "Weev" of Goatse Security, the group behind the disclosure of the weakness in the AT&T Web site that exposed iPad user data

Showing real chutzpah, or delusion, a member of the hacker group being investigated for exposing a hole in AT&T's iPad customer Web site says he will forgive the federal prosecutor if the probe is dropped and offered to work with him to fight cybercrime.
In an open letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee Vartan that was also sent to journalists and the Full Disclosure security e-mail list," Andrew Auernheimer begins with "Howdy Lee" and offers some "friendly advice."
"I'm writing you to help clarify this situation we continue to find ourselves in," he writes. "You seem to still be investigating me for some sort of criminal act."
Auernheimer quotes Thomas Paine in the message and says he decided to write to Vartan while visiting the law library, where he goes for "ethical guidance."
If Vartan continues to hold grand jury sessions he may be forced to resign for targeting an innocent man, Auernheimer argues. AT&T was negligent in securing its site and Auernheimer's hacker group, Goatse Security, did nothing more than point that out, he claims.
"Social responsibility has always been at the core of everything we do at Goatse Security," writes Auernheimer, a self-acknowledged Internet troll. "We should work together for a common goal, instead of fighting each other," he continues.
"I pray for you Lee," he writes, adding as his send off "Hugs and Courage To You."
Auernheimer, whose hacker name is "weev" and who also uses the first name "Escher," was arrested in June when federal agents found drugs in his home while seizing his computer equipment as part of an investigation into the AT&T case. E-mail addresses and SIM card serial numbers of about 114,000 iPad users were exposed when Auernheimer's group found a way to exploit a flaw in the AT&T site.
No charges have been filed and authorities have declined to discuss the case.
