Nmap v.5.50 Released

A primary focus of this release is the Nmap Scripting Engine, which has allowed Nmap to expand up the protocol stack and take network discovery to the next level. Nmap can now query all sorts of application protocols, including web servers, databases, DNS servers,FTP, and now even Gopher servers! Remember those? These capabilities are in self-contained libraries and scripts to avoid bloating Nmap's core engine. The actual NSE engine became more powerful as well. Newtargets support allows scripts like dns-zone-xfer and dns-service-discovery to add discovered hosts to Nmap's scan queue. We also added a brute forcing engine, network broadcast script support, and two new script scanning phases known as prerule and postrule. This release isn't...

Acer Concept Laptop Features No Keyboards, Two Touchscreens

Acer introduces a concept product that they think could lead the next level of laptops. The Iconia features two capacitive touchscreens, both with 1,366 x 768 resolution, and no keyboard as it is replaced by the second touchscreen. The idea behind this creation is that having two touchscreens increases what users can do with the device. Despite having dual screens, the Iconia is still supposed to function as a laptop. This means that there is only one way to view it, with one screen functioning as the navigator and keyboard, and that it cannot be unfolded in such a way that it becomes a giant tablet. By design, the insides of this concept device include a Core i5 processor, integrated graphics set, 4GB of DDR3, a 2.5-inch HDD, 3G connectivity,...

Moovida Core media player

Immersed Media Center view Two big changes have landed since our last, albeit acerbic, look at the player: a new ‘theme’ and the introduction of ‘Moovida Immersed’ – a beautiful 3D interface for browsing your video library. Having ditched its buff gray and familiar Banshee layout for something a bit different Moovida has moved away from looking like nothing more than ‘Banshee for Windows’. The players controls have been moved to the bottom of the app window, a ‘genre’ pane has wiggled into the filter pane and a deadly black colour scheme tries to exude ‘slickness’ but, in all honestly, just looks naff. The gold is in the ‘Moovida Immersed’ view. This super slick 3D animated view runs full screen and is designed to be used with an...

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) defines the main directories and their contents in Linux operating systems. For the most part, it is a formalization and extension of the traditional BSD filesystem hierarchy. Directory structure In the FHS all files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if they are stored on different physical devices. Note however that some of these directories may or may not be present on a Unix system depending on whether certain subsystems, such as the X Window System, are installed. The majority of these directories exist in all UNIX operating systems and are generally used in much the same way; however, the descriptions here are those used specifically for the FHS, and are not considered...
