Really terrible... another critical vulnerability affecting Windows 2000/XP/2003 has been just announced by eEye. It is worthy to note, that it took Microsoft over 6 months to fix it. The bug affects ASN.1 library and is remotely exploitable through authentication subsystems (Kerberos, NTLMv2) and applications that make use of SSL certificates. You can see a technical description of the bug HERE.
Terrible, expecially because this bug affects a DLL (MSASN1.DLL) that is widely used by Windows security subsystems. Where is security???
The site
tlc.discovery.com has just published the
Hackers Hall of Fame. They have included 15 bios of modern and not so modern hackers and crackers. Interesting... :)
After the

sshCE is a SSH client for Windows CE. It provides secure communication from your handheld to a SSH enabled host. sshCE's security is provided by strong authentication and encryption. It's interesting and works good...
The answer could be wx.NET ! wx.Net is a .NET Common Language Infrastructure wrapper of the famous framework wxWindows, that permits you to write multiplatform GUI. The .NET version is now arrived to 0.3 and it supports different CLI implementations, such as .NET, Mono, DotGNU and Portable.NET.
I think that it must be checked while waiting for Mono...
An interesting project from the Open Source Community...
Dillo, a web browser project completely written in C. This browser is extremely small (source is less than 400 KB, and the binary is around
350 KB). It's a multi-platform browser alternative that's small, stable, developer-friendly, usable, fast, and extensible. Check it!
