Our customers and friends often ask us how a real hacker attack looks like. We want to show this on a very simple, but very common vulnerability called Cross Site Scripting or XSS.

As big fans of open source, we feel the urge to support the community and contribute to the projects we like. And because our code is ugly as hell, we try to do it at least by reporting bugs and security vulnerabilities.

In this post I would like to show you how to install three very useful Google Chrome extensions that will increase your privacy and comfort online. You can either watch this short video that will explain everything or follow this post with screenshots.

After installing the firewall application called Little Snitch, I watched which applications on my Mac OS X are connecting to the Internet. Two notable services appeared – locationd and assistantd.

In recent versions of OS X, there is no need to install additional software because disk encryption feature is already embedded in the operating system. Activation and using are simple and straightforward.

People sometimes ask how to know what exact vulnerability was patched in particular piece of closed source software. In this blog, we would like to describe one such example from the Microsoft security bulletin.
