antid0te: Upcoming Jailbreak Process Will Bring Enhanced Security To Jailbroken iPhones

nhiepphong — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 13:48:17 +0000

A German security analyst is about to unveil a new jailbreaking process that will make iPhones much more secure. Stefan Esser, a security consultant and application developer for SektionEins, has found a way to support Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in iOS, and has developed a new jailbreak tool – to be called antid0te – to implement it, making iPhones much more resistant to malware attacks. The tool will be announced at a security conference next week and should be available soon thereafter.

Esser will be presenting antid0te at the Power of Community security conference in Korea on December 14th. “With ASLR,” the conference notes explain, “an exploit mitigation is added that is not available in factory iPhones and makes exploitation more difficult.” And according to Esser, he’s going to continue to work on further hardening the iPhone: “more mitigations and a full reactivation of the codesigning protection are planed for the next months.”

Overall Rating: 4.13 out of 5 stars

In the rush to push graphics and sound to the bleeding edge, a lot of developers seem to forget that the most important thing about any game is to provide solid, fun core gameplay. This is a concept the studio behind Stick Golf takes very seriously, as they have released a game which may not be visually overwhelming, but instead offers some of the most fun and engaging play of any app in recent memory. This game is as straightforward as it gets, and it’s also one of the most fun games you’ll play all year.

The setup in Stick Golf couldn’t be simpler, merely aim the trajectory of your ball, set the power and then try and get to the green in as few strokes as possible. The trick comes in the level design, which features an ever-expanding lineup of super-challenging holes. Course design is the epitome of risk/reward, with plenty of shots meant to entice players to take a risk. Hit the shot perfectly and you’ll be set up for an amazing score, miss by just a fraction and you’re in a hazard and likely taking penalty strokes. This layout makes the game challenging but rarely frustrating, as you always feel that you’re right on the cusp of figuring out a hole and shooting an unbelievable score.

The only thing that prevents Stick Golf from being a dream come true is the lack of fine-tuning in the controls. You can only change your shot direction by tapping on onscreen arrows, so it’s sometimes difficult to get the absolute perfect angle. This isn’t a problem in most games, but in a title demanding this high a level of precision it can sometimes cause problems. Then again, most missed shots are due to your own miscalculation rather than the game trying to cheat you, so this minor issue may be little more than a scapegoat.

With tons of challenge, a wide variety of substantially different courses and a great sense of verticality in the levels, Stick Golf is an app which any iPhone owner should definitely have in their collection. Say goodbye to your loved ones since you won’t be seeing them for a while and then dive into this absolutely amazing game.

Downhill Bowling 2 Now Available

iieevvn1 — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 00:08:37 +0000

Normally, bowling is pretty boring. I mean, all you’re doing is rolling a ball at some wooden pins and usually getting too drunk to stand up straight. Downhill Bowling 2 is a different beast entirely, as players can knock down pins, collect coins and flee from dangerous mines. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in then head on over to the App Store and get to downloading, as the freebie game is now available.

New features in Downhill Bowling 2 include the ability to collect coins which can be used to unlock new levels and balls, as well as a dedicated jump button. While the original Downhill Bowling included jumping it was restricted to a specific power-up which had to be picked up out on the course, now players will be able to make their ball hop whenever they want, opening up a lot of new avenues for level design and exploration. Other power-ups include rockets, bombs and even a helicopter to pick up your ball and help you grab otherwise out-of-reach floating coins. The whole package is a lot more entertaining than a trip to your local bowling alley, where bombs and helicopters are largely frowned upon.

Downhill Bowling 2 also features Game Center support in the form of Achievements and leaderboards. Each mode will have its own specific leaderboard so good luck in holding down the top spot on all four at once. If you manage to pull that off then we will official recognize you as the king (or queen) of wacky bowling. GameResort is also promising new content for the game down the road, so just when you perfect the existing levels you can start expecting new ones.

So grab your ball and get ready for some crazy bowling fun. Just make sure to call your league and let them know you won’t be there tonight, they deserve at least that courtesy.

FREE!

Verizon Officially Launching 4G LTE Network on December 5th

me — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 00:08:02 +0000

As the media has told you time and time again, many wireless carriers here in the United States are pushing their 3G networks aside and focusing on launching new and improved 4G networks. Sprint has already managed to get their 4G network up and running with hard hitting devices like the HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Epic 4G running on said network and T-Mobile has launched their HSPA+ pseudo 4G network but AT&T and Verizon are still lacking.

While we don’t have an announcement regarding AT&T, we do habe some good news regarding Verizon’s 4G LTE network. In fact, today, the company announced that their LTE network will go live in 38 different cities starting on December 5th.

According to Verizon, this LTE network will be 10 times as fast as their current 3G network and will run consumers $50 per month for 5GB and $80 per month for 10GB. Pretty pricey, but that’s the cost of ultra high speed mobile broadband.

Anyone out there looking to get down on Verizon’s LTE network?

See the full list of cities in the press release after the break.

Verizon wireless launches the World’s Largest 4G LTE Wireless Network on Dec. 5
Laptop Users Benefit First from Fastest and Most Advanced Wireless Network, Arriving in 38 Major Metropolitan Areas with New Value-Priced 4G Data Plans

BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – Verizon Wireless announced today it is turning on the world’s first large-scale 4G LTE network on Sunday, Dec. 5. Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network will be the fastest and most advanced 4G network in America. Business users will be the first to take advantage of the 4G LTE network with speeds up to 10 times faster than the company’s 3G network.

With the launch, Verizon Wireless is also offering new value-priced 4G LTE Mobile Broadband data plans starting at $50 monthly access for 5 GB monthly allowance, as well as two new 4G LTE USB modems: the LG VL600 which will be available at launch, and the Pantech UML290, available soon.

Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless, said, “Beginning Sunday, Verizon Wireless is making the best network even better. Our initial 4G LTE launch gives customers access to the fastest and most advanced mobile network in America and immediately reaches more than one-third of all Americans, right where they live. That’s just the start. We will quickly expand 4G LTE, and by 2013 will reach the existing Verizon Wireless 3G coverage area.”

Road warriors using laptops will immediately benefit from Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network with super-fast connectivity that’s up to 10 times faster than the company’s current 3G network. The company expects 4G LTE average data rates in real-world, loaded network environments to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.

Mead continued, “We are building our 4G LTE network with the same commitment to performance and reliability for which we have long been recognized. Our commitment to superior network performance, combined with broad 4G coverage areas and the strong value of our data plans make 4G LTE Mobile Broadband the best choice for laptop users.”

4G LTE Mobile Broadband Data Plans, Devices and Coverage Areas

Verizon Wireless customers can choose from two 4G LTE Mobile Broadband data plans: $50 monthly access for 5 GB monthly allowance or $80 monthly access for 10 GB monthly allowance, both with $10/GB overage. For laptop connectivity, two 4G LTE USB modems will be initially available: the LG VL600 is available at launch and the Pantech UML290 will be available soon, each $99.99 after $50 rebate with a new two-year agreement. Both USB modems provide backward-compatibility with Verizon Wireless’ 3G network. If laptop users travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, they will automatically stay connected on the company’s 3G network.

The two modems harness the power of the company’s 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network to help enterprise, business and government customers make their workforces more productive, providing super-fast laptop connectivity. Both modems will be available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, online at www.verizonwireless.com, by phone by calling 1-800 256-4646 and through the company’s business sales channels.

The company expects consumer-oriented handsets will be available by mid-2011.

Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network is initially launching in 38 major metropolitan areas and in more than 60 commercial airports coast to coast – at both airports within the launch areas plus airports in other key cities. Street level coverage area maps will be available online on Dec. 5. Today, customers can go to www.verizonwireless.com/4Glte to check if their addresses will be in the initial 4G LTE coverage area.

Spectrum and Network Partners

By leveraging its 700 MHz spectrum for LTE deployment in the United States, Verizon Wireless is capable of quickly deploying a high-quality wireless broadband network with excellent coverage. Verizon Wireless’ primary 4G LTE network vendors, Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent, are providing the underlying infrastructure for the 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network.
