Hacker Space Rogue to Release Book on Hacking Group L0pht Heavy Industries in February

/in


PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 11, 2023 — The memoir of world-renowned hacker Cris Thomas “Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known as L0pht Changed the World” is available for pre-order now. The new book, to be released on February 16, 2023, will cover the influential hacking group L0pht Heavy Industries, the hacker underground of the 1990s, the L0pht’s rise to prominence, their testimony in front of the US Senate, their claim of being able to “take down the Internet”, and how their legacy continues to shape the security of the online world today.

“Cyber security has become a critical part of today’s world. The L0pht was there at the start. We helped shape the cyber industry, and form the online world we all live in today.” –Space Rogue

In May 1998, the US Congress invited the seven members of the L0pht to testify on the state of government computer security. Two years later, that same group rode the dot-com bubble to create the preeminent security consultancy the industry has ever known, @stake. Along the way, they stood up against tech giants like Microsoft, Oracle, Novell and others to expose weaknesses in those companies’ premiere products. Despite the L0pht’s technical prowess, the group could not keep what they had built together as money and internal politics turned friend against friend. Look inside L0pht Heavy Industries, or simply The L0pht, one of the most influential hacker groups in history. From formation, to congressional testimony, to going legit and the aftermath that followed. 

Follow the hacker ‘Space Rogue’ as he takes you on a journey through the magical hacker scene of the 1990s. The L0pht hacker collective no longer exists, but its legacy lives on. L0pht set the standard for how the cyber security industry now releases vulnerability information. Famous hackers that were once L0pht members, Mudge, Weld Pond, Kingpin, Dildog, Space Rogue, and others have done even more impressive things in the following years. The hackers and consultants hired by @stake and indoctrinated into the L0pht way of thinking have now become giants in the industry. All the hackers who read security information off the L0pht’s website, downloaded software from the…

Google’s Chrome Is Under Heavy Attack—This Startup Thinks It Has A Rival To Save Businesses From Disaster

/in


Browsers are proving to be a potential Achilles’ heel in computer and smartphone security. This year has seen a record number of so called zero-day attacks in the wild, where unpatched weaknesses in software are exploited by hackers, and Google Chrome has seen at least 12 so far this year.

In Covid and post-pandemic times, as workers use their personal devices for work, or their work ones for personal use, the danger of being hacked via Chrome or whatever browser they use has become considerably more real. Enter Talon Cyber Security, an Israeli startup that’s already claimed the largest seed round in its country’s history with $26 million in April this year. Coming out of stealth with its first product on Wednesday, it has created a browser, TalonWork, based on the same Chromium base code that Chrome uses, but with a promise to do a better job than rivals at protecting the more distributed, often home-based workforce of the post-Covid era.

The company claims its browser, which can be deployed across a customer’s organization in less than an hour, is “hardened” from zero-day attacks as Talon’s servers detect attempted attacks. It also isolates work-related browsing activity from any malware on the device. And, via a management console, businesses can apply their own policies across their employees’ browsers and get data on what workers are doing on the web, though only when it’s linked to work, Talon cofounder and CEO Ofer Ben-Noon tells Forbes. “IT can see, monitor and control everything work related.” Companies can choose how they want to split personal and work use.

Talon claims ten customers and design partners are already using the browser, though it isn’t revealing any names.

The company claims its product is a first of its kind, though others have sold secure browsers into the enterprise market before. Google, for instance, has its own enterprise-focused version of Chrome that offers many of the same support and control features Talon is…
