sapyto is periodically updated with the outcome of the deep research on the various security aspects in SAP systems.



Although sapyto is a versatile and powerful tool, it is of major importance for it to be used by consultants who are highly skilled and specialized in its usage, preventing any interference with your organization’s usual SAP operation.

  framework extensible to handle new types of connections to SAP platforms.


• Plugins are now divided in three categories: Discovery, Audit & Exploit.


• Exploit plugins now generate shells and/or sapytoAgent objects.


• New plugins!: User account bruteforcing, client enumeration, SAProuter assessment, and more…

Firefox issues eight patches for Web browser

Mozilla has issued eight patches for its Firefox Web browser, three of which fix problems classified as critical.

The patches come after security experts have recommended using a browser other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 and older versions of IE due to a dangerous vulnerability. Microsoft is due to release an emergency patch for that problem Wednesday.

HP Polyserve software for SQL Server: Download now

Two of the critical Firefox problems could allow an attacker execute a cross-site scripting attack, in which scripts or commands from one Web application that shouldn't run in another are successfully executed. The third problem relates to Firefox's browser engine, and could make it crash or possibly allow someone to remotely execute code on a PC, Mozilla said in its advisory.

Mozilla defines a critical vulnerability as one that could allow an attacker to run code on a machine in the course of normal Web browsing.



The patches are for Firefox version numbers 3.04 and 2.0.0.18. Mozilla has said this round of patches will be the last for Firefox 2, which it will now stop supporting. The update also removes the phishing filter in Firefox 2 because the browser uses an outdated version of a protocol used to import a blocklist of phishing sites supplied by Google. Firefox 2 users are being promoted to upgrade to Firefox 3.

Firefox's auto-update mechanism should automatically download these latest patches, and users will be prompted to restart the browser to complete the process.

How to Delete Files Permanently from the Computer

When you delete a file from your computer, it moves to the Windows Recycle Bin. You empty the Recycle Bin and so many might think that the file is permanently erased from the hard drive.



 but its worng! When you delete files or folders, the data is not initially removed from the hard disk. Instead, the space on the disk that was occupied by the deleted data is "deallocated." After it is deallocated, the space is available for use when new data is written to the disk. Until the space is overwritten, it is possible to recover the deleted data by using a data-recovery software.



To permanently erase files and prevent your confidential files from getting into wrong hands, Microsoft offers a free command line utility - SDelete (Secure Delete) - that overwrites all the free space to prevent data recovery.

You can use SDelete both to securely delete existing files , as well as to securely erase any file data that exists in the unallocated portions of a disk (including files that you have already deleted or encrypted)

Hoax Google Orkut message links to spread malicious Trojan

Google's social-networking Web site Orkut has been used to spread a malicious Trojan, says Websense.

Nucleus Report: Who's ready for SMB? - read this white paper.

According to an alert from the security firm, the hoax message, which has been received by a number of Orkut users and is written in Portuguese, looks like it comes from a lonely Orkut member looking for love and features a number of links that appear to point back to the social-networking site. 

However, Websense urges Orkut users not to click the links as they result in the Trojan imagem.exe being downloaded. This subsequently opens the Orkut login page while a password-stealing Trojan called msn.exe is downloaded in the background.

Useful Secrets for Social Networking Sites

Social networking websites like Orkut, Myspace, Yahoo and more are channels through which people communicate, find lost friends, tap resources, and even find work.

Online it is said to be the most vibrant and action packed space.

Online communities provide information, spur creativity, channel new designs in technology, and bring like-minded people closer to one another. From the PC or laptop a person can connect and communicate with the whole world. There are over 400 plus social networking sites online facilitating business and social networking. The online community can congregate each day 24/7 according to specific needs or interests; music, sports, gaming, trekking, every human interest or activity has spurred its own unique social networking website or channel. It is not city specific but global.

1. Join a social networking site that signifies you. Do an online search and go through the directories on social networking to identify what interests you the most.

2. Never sign up or join on an impulse take the time to read about the website and browse through many similar sites until you find one that suits your needs. Read and understand the rules and privacy statements.

3. Once you have found a social networking website that is “you” go ahead and register. When choosing a user name think of its use if you are registering for business purposes the name should trigger off recall. So curb the flights of fantasy and use a name that is practical and will showcase you to the world.

4. Choose the level of membership. Basic memberships are usually free but paid ones have more features. Begin with a free membership and then upgrade once you are comfortable.

5. Fill the user profile with care and think of how your profile will be distinctive from others. In networking unless your profile stands out you will be one among an ocean of profiles. To draw benefits from the site you need to create a clear profile and maximize it by innovating on the layout.

6. Browse the World Wide Web for templates that are compatible with the social networking site you are registered on. Many templates are free while others are paid. Check before you select one.

7. Try and customize the layout. This will make your profile distinctive and unique. Add style, color, and panache by including clips, photos and more.

8. While customizing the layout think about the purpose of your profile. If its business then try and keep it dignified unless you are in a “hep” line of business like ornaments, cards, or music. Use fonts, colors, and graphics to add style.

9. Ensure that your profile has cohesiveness and actually represents you in every way. What drives traffic on social networking sites is a profile that grabs attention.

10. Network online successfully but pay attention to security and privacy too! Read up on how to protect yourself and ensure that social networking does not put you or your family in any dangers. While there are many positive aspects to social networking there are negatives too.

How To Backup Ps1/PS2 Games

Okay, these are some methods to backup PS2 titles and Xbox titles, in order to play a backup you need a modchip of some sort, I have also included a tutorial on boot methods. Follow any one of these instructions to fit your needs. You can tell what format the PS2 title is by looking at the written side of the disc, DVD's are Silver and CD's are Purple. The DVD backup methods here consist of reading the image to the hard drive then burning it to the media for an easier backup, this depends on your hardware and its setup. I say that because the proper setup would be to have the Reader and Writer on separate IDE cables. This allows no cross information when doing Disc to Disc/On the fly copying. But, since most people would not know how to check or fix this, I suggest reading the image to your Hard Drive and then burning from there. *A little useful trick*, If the DVD backup "image" is small enough in size you can fit it onto a CD-R (80 minute or larger if need be) instead of using a more expensive DVD-R. I have done this succesfully using Prassi and the first tutorial for it below. In addition a DVD Movie backup will play on a PS2/Xbox without a chip. As I get more info I will update.

XBOX backup tutorials

Xbox original games are burned from the outside in. The only way to backup a title is to have a modchip like X-exuter (best), Enigma, or Xodus/Matrix. You also have to flash the bios and have a CD program inserted or installed into the X-Box named EVO-X (this allows you to assign the X-Box an IP address). The game has to be stored on the X-Box's HD, this allows you to file transfer the title to your PC using an ftp program like FlaxhFXP (best) or similar. From there you use a burning application to make the backup. Some applications allows you to "drag & drop" right from the Xbox or you can build an ISO of the image then burn to CD-R/W or DVD-R/W backup. (I will update this to show steps as soon as I have a minute)
