Hackers use Google to access photocopiers


Making copies of something important? Photocopiers are the latest networked devices to fall prey to hackers armed with nothing more than Google's search engine

Hackers are using search engines to watch what people photocopy.

Using Google hacks -- requests typed into the search engine that bring up cached information on networks -- hackers are discovering and using login details for networked photocopiers so they can watch what is being copied.

"You don't have to be a genius to do this," said Jason Hart, security director at Whitehat UK. "You can see what people are photocopying on your monitor. You just have to search for online devices on Google."

GmailFS - Gmail Filesystem


GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail.

GmailFS supports most file operations such as read, write, open, close, stat, symlink, link, unlink, truncate and rename. This means that you can use all your favourite unix command line tools to operate on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln, grep etc. etc.).

Google IPO: No longer a sure thing?


Google's aura of invincibility is faltering as the company draws nearer to its initial public offering.

Fresh concerns about shares issued improperly to insiders and signs of weaker-than-expected demand are creating last-minute reservations about the deal--an oddball offering that's nevertheless expected to be among the largest and highest-priced in recent history, if it proceeds as planned.
