The iPad mini has had an interesting history. When Phil Schiller first showed us a look at it in 2012, I was hooked immediately. Despite not having a Retina screen, I was in love with it. It was a great size for reading books, watching video, and browsing the web. In some ways, it showed us the path to larger iPhones. Fast forward to 2018, and we are only on the 4th generation of the iPad mini....

Few topics are as widely discussed in modern Hollywood as diversity. With the global film audience becoming itself much broader, the film industry has made a concerted effort to ensure that casting and storytelling are more reflective of a multicultural world in order to draw the biggest audience possible - most notably by creating and spotlighting characters who reflect the lived experiences of a greater variety of people. Case in point: Ridley Scott’s upcoming Alien prequel (or, depending on how you look at it, Prometheus sequel) Alien: Covenant is set to break new ground by featuring a husband-and-husband pair on board its “ship of couples....

In a new investor note today, Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi has a bizarre suggestion for Apple: sell an Apple Watch for under $250. Why is that bizarre? Well, you can pick up the Apple Watch Series 3 directly from Apple, in brand new condition, for $199. In the investor note (via PED30), Sacconaghi says that Apple could sell 10 times as many Apple Watch units by offering a less expensive model, marketed as “an essential health monitoring device....

Threat alerts and triage Incident response Threat hunting Malware research Analyzing malware can be “static” or “dynamic.” Static analysis does not involve actually executing the malware, while dynamic analysis carries out such an action in a controlled environment. Dynamic analysis is all about behavior and actions that may attract suspicion like opening a network socket, writing registry keys and writing files to a disk. Often, debugging is done by means of putting malware through a debugger to analyze its behavior (API calls, function calls and so on) to reveal its functions....

Easy and convenient! That’s what I like most about Web Browser based Instant Message (IM) clients from MSN, Google, and Yahoo!. It doesn’t matter if you’re at work, a friends house, or a kiosk – under most circumstances if you have access to a Web Browser, you can log in to your favorite Instant Messenger Client and chat away! Although the Microsoft MSN client has been out the longest, Yahoo!...

This is mainly post-expoitation demonstration, that first starts with a walk-through of exploiting a windows machine. Next, we walk through getting a copy of the web server’s home page and then modify it with an iframe that points to an exploit server. Anybody that browses to the victim webpage now gets owned. Once it’s set up, we move to post exploitation. This is a great example of some of the hands-on labs you will do in the InfoSec Institute Advanced Ethical Hacking class....

Apple’s iPhone is 9.3mm thick the whole way down the phone, while Samsung’s Galaxy S 2 is 8.71mm thin but has a 9.91mm ‘thick’ antenna hump. In reality, neither in the “thinnest”. NEC sells a 7.7 mm thin device among other thinner devices in the market....

The latest promos for Alien: Covenant take a found-footage inspired approach to marketing the next installment in the Alien franchise. Thirty-eight years after the original Alien thrilled moviegoers, and five years after Prometheus made moviegoers slightly confused, Ridley Scott is revisiting the Alien universe once again for Covenant. By the look of it, Covenant is a straight-forward, original-Alien-like take on survival horror, though not one that discards the additions to the Alien mythos that were introduced in its immediate predecessor, Prometheus....
