Throwback: Famous Website Looked Like at Launch

Throwback Famous Website  Looked Like at Launch , added some info.

1. Google

While the company's design doesn’t seem to have changed a whole lot, its services and capabilities sure have. Created by Stanford PhD students Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google officially launched Sept. 4, 1998. The interface was so simple because the founders didn’t know HTML and were looking for a quick design.

2. YouTube

The video sharing website that brought us hits like “Charlie bit my finger” and “Sneezing panda” first launched in February 2005 with a practically empty interface and no evidence of videos. The first video uploaded to the site was created by one of YouTube's founders, Jawed Karim, and was titled “Me at the Zoo.” It was a 19-second clip of him in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo.

3. Facebook

Facebook -- or should I say Thefacebook -- was created by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004. As the original interface indicates, the site was only available for Harvard University students, which eventually expanded to today's 800 million users across the world.  The interface also featured the image of a man’s face in the upper left hand corner, a digitally manipulated photo of Al Pacino.

4. Yahoo!

An acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle,” Yahoo was the product of another Stanford duo, Jerry Yang and David Filo. In March 1995 the site was heralded as the first online navigational guide to the web. The original interface featured a simple search bar and hyperlinks to other websites, but soon became a sleek, personalized news website.

5. Amazon

The mecca of online shopping can trace its roots back to 1995, when it was primarily an online bookstore. Jeffrey Bezos named the site after the Amazon River. The original site contained small text and icons, which still informs its most recent design.

6. Twitter

This barely recognizable design was the first concept of co-founder Jack Dorsey back in July 2006. It featured the word "Twttr," which was inspired by Flickr and SMS shortcode (which always includes five characters). Although the interface design has changed at least six times in the last five years, that hasn't deterred its more than 100 million users.

7. MySpace

Launched in August 2003 as a competitor to Friendster, MySpace's original design was pretty bland. When MySpace skyrocketed to popularity between 2005 and 2008, News Corp. bought the social networking site for $580 million. Although it holds the former title of most-visited site on the Internet, MySpace sharply declined in the past few years. The site recently sold to Specific Media and Justin Timberlake for $35 million.

Get Windows XP Security Update until 2019 ; Registry Hack

Microsoft ended its support for Windows XP officially more than a month ago on April 8, 2014. This made a large number of users to switch to the latest version of Windows, but still a wide portion of users are using Microsoft oldest and most widely used operating system, despite not receiving security updates. 

 (Naalala nyo siguro yung dating post ko sa page windows update )

You are not allowed to directly install these Windows updates for your OS. In order to download new security updates for your Windows XP, you just need to perform a simple intervention into the Windows registration database.

STEPS TO FOLLOW:

• Open Notepad and create a new file.
• Add Below given code to it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001

• Save file as .reg extension and run it by double clicks.
• Once executed, you will find lots of pending updates in your Windows Action Center.

Because the extended support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 systems ends after 5 years, Microsoft will continue to deliver new security updates and patches for this version of its embedded operating system till April 9th, 2019, so users can use this trick to get security updates of Windows XP for another five years.

Important Note for our Readers - Despite receiving security updates for Windows XP by using such tricks, it is not possible to secure the complete system appropriately. So we highly recommend all of you to upgrade your operating system to the latest versions, i.e. Windows 7 or 8 or any Linux Distro.

Hacking Cable TV and Networks

This is a post  from  THN one from my list webwatch  author  Swati Khandelwal  demonstrate  how his friend  Rahul Sasi’ Hack a Cable.
 Rahul Sasi is a well known Indian security researcher, and founder of Garage4Hackers Forum. This was a surprise demonstration he gave me last weekend on “Hacking Your Cable TV Networks,” which he is going to present next week at Hack In The Box (HITB) Security Conference in Amsterdam.

"I was watching my favorite show on the television and it was just half over when I saw something which was definitely not a part of the show I was watching. My television screen gone blank for a couple of seconds and then what I saw was totally unbelievable for my eyes.

A year back, similar attack was noticed by the Television viewers in Great Falls, Montana, when a hacker interrupted the television show by a message, warning the viewers that "dead bodies are rising from their graves and attacking the living". 

It was my friend ‘Rahul Sasi’ on the television and I was still wondering that how did he interrupted in between a television show like happens in Sci-Fi movies, someone hijacks television or computer to deliver some kind of message or warning. Also like in some horror movies in which sometime ghostly images interrupts between the television and suddenly comes out. Oh my god!

But, nothing happened like that in my case, my friend didn't came out. Just few minutes later I was again redirected to the same show I was watching, only a part of it I missed, but never mind I’ll watch it on the YouTube later. "

But, this is going to be the first time when someone will give a Live demonstration on Hacking the cable television networks. From last eight to nine months, Rahul is working with a local cable TV network provider, where he discovered insecure implementations and weak architecture of the Cable TV networks, that could be abused by any potential hacker to carry out large scale attacks.

Unlike Internet, Television is one way medium, and if someone hijack any cable TV network service provider and display an emergency alert or a stream in a Video stating that a riot has started in your nearby city. Which in real is only a hoax, perpetrated by as-yet unknown hackers, but can cause enough panic among the people.

In the presentation, Sasi will demonstrate how a potential attacker can leverage the weakness in the Cable TV networks to hack various standards for the broadcast transmissions including the Analogue Cable TV, DVB-C and IPTV.

He will perform Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack on Cable TV networks to capture and modify the channels frequencies as shown in the below video demonstration: 

The technicals details will be revealed in the HITB conference next week. Philip R. Zimmermann, the creator of Pretty Good Privacy, will also join HITB this year as a Highlight Speaker.

The Event is also hosting a 3-Days Free Haxpo, a IT security exhibition at Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam on May 28th, 29th, 30th 2014. 

"We're excited to be celebrating our 5th year anniversary event in The Netherlands with not only an all-women keynote line but also with our brand new HITB Haxpo - an interactive event for not only hackers but makers and builders which we think will be unlike anything that's been done before. A true celebration of all things ‘hacker’ and a reminder of the original meaning of the word - exploring the limits of what is possible, in a spirit of playful cleverness." Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran, Founder/Chief Executive Officer, Hack In The Box told to the 'The Hacker News'.

Some other interesting technical presentations which will also be part of the conference are listed below:

• Dr. Marco Balduzzi will present some new vulnerabilities and attacks on AIS, Automatic Identification System.
• Anthony Hariton, a Computer Science Undergraduate student will show you how one can hack Boarding passes to get through all the Airport security checks.
• Michael Ossmann, a wireless security researcher and Hardware hacker will demonstrate that how you can build your own NSA Playset out of open source components.
