Hotmail cracked completely
FutureZone writes:
Mail of every user readable | no password needed | details unknown so far | FutureZone has tested Exploit
The free mail service Hotmail has been cracked heavily today. With a web form it is possible
to read any user's mail - without password. FutureZone has a corresponding link, first tests
revealed: Every Hotmail account is readable. (Full article - German - at the title link.)
August 31st, 1999:
Heise writes, among others: Hotmail
hole fixed for now
About twelve hours after the Hotmail hack became public, Microsoft
reported the bug has been fixed. In the meantime, the Hotmail server was offline. Our editors
however recieved messages until late in the night that readers were able to scan Hotmail
accounts without the need for a password. After the Microsoft announcement at 2:00 AM
local time, this seems to be impossible. Microsoft has not yet commented about the technical
background making the attack possibe.
Spiegel Netzwelt, among others, writes:
Hacker group claims
responsibility for Hotmail hack
According to informations of the online news service
"Wired", a so far unknown hacker group claimed responsibility for the move on Monday. The
online magazine cites a Swedish spokesman that is reported to have made contact with "Wired".
According to him, the group named "Hackers Unite" consists of a Swedish and seven US-Americans.
The hackers made the backdoor public to bring attention to the insufficient security of
Microsoft's products: "We didn't make this hack to destroy, but to show the world how
bad the security really is at Microsoft, and that the company nearly has a monopoly on
computer software", a 21-year-old group member is cited.

GIF licence for Webmasters?
Are you a webmaster and want to get a web licence from Unisys for your GIF pictures?
No problem, Unisys offers a licence for webmasters for a meager 5,000.00 USD ;-).

VMdriver new version 1.10
Stefan Robl writes:
The new version 1.10 of the FMdriver packet contains numerous innovations; e.g. the
limitation to graphic cards has been removed, programms are now running in satisfactory
quality in 2-256 colors (!!). New are the programms FMInit, FMGrab (great for WebCams!),
FMRecord/FMRecordDec and FMRecorder.
FMRecorder makes it possible to comfortably record videos with the FrameMachine.
The program contains, aside from an anim viewer, a converter to encode the video as MPEG
later on. You can download screenshots from the programs, and a MPEG animation recorded
with FMRecord (and encoded with CreateMPEG) from my homepage.

Prelude library bug
Patrick Beerhorst writes:
Version 4.52 of prelude.library causes problems with the Prelude 1200 (card is not
initialised in certain circumstances). A fixed version v4.55 for both cards (Prelude
1200 and Prelude Z-II) solves these problems. Download:
PrlLib455.lha.
Additionally, there is a new Mixer v2.1 available from the homepage. Download:

Tyschtschenko: No more Executive Updates for competition reasons (27.08.99)
AMIGA Vice President Petro Tyschtschenko explained on request of AMIGA aktuell, that
Amiga decided to change information politics to avoid too many details of the AmigaNG
development reaching competitors, which would be a burden for the whole project. The
head of the German Amiga office stressed that other companies don't handle new
developments any differently.

FusionPPC: Only 380 of the needed 500 preorders recieved
Thomas Lorenz writes:
There are still many preorders missing. Here the latest news from the Fusion mailinglist:
From: Jim Drew msdei@ctaz.com
Subject: [FUSION]: PPC upgrade status
This is an official announcement from Microcode Solutions...
As many of you know, Microcode Solutions has been trying to establish a base market for its new
emulations. We presented the public with a test marketting idea of pre-paying for a PowerPC emulation. We
reached our base goal of 500 units (actually we reached nearly 700), and then we announced that we were
now accepting the pre-payments. To date we have only 380 pre-payments (none of which have been
processed), meaning that we are still short 120 units before we can commit to producing this product.
It has been several months since we have been collecting actual pre-payments. We are spending an
incredible amount of time and resources on this project (which is 1/1000th the revenue of our PC market),
and we hope that we are not wasting our time by doing so. We ask that if you have not placed your order
yet, please do so now. If we do not reach the 500 unit goal, we will not release the product, no matter how
much we have completed so far... we will use some of the work for our PC version. x

Update GeoWorld
After more than half a year of work, today we finally finished the long-awaited update to
version 1.1 of GeoWorld. GeoWorld, probably the best geographical software for the Amiga,
has been expanded by the following features in version 1.1:
- adding a new generic search function in the maxi search, enabling for the first time the
search for special keywords in the additional databases like economy, history etc. (full text
search)
- complete rework and bugfixes
- NewLook-Menus for OS 3.0+ (no more changing menu colors)
- flashing pointer for cities and small countries now working correctly
- scrolling of the maps pixel by pixel per keyboard
- sorting speed-up due to presorted databases
- faster search functions (in Assembler)
- VisualPrefs now supported nearly completely
- GeoWorld-Fonts can now stay in the same directory
- interaction with all requesters now completely by keyboard
- option to give distances in miles instead of kilometers
- requester "no information available" now with configurable time-out
- reworked and expanded prefs window (among others display mode, font,
use, save or reset prefs)
- expansion of the city database for Austria, Switzerland, Brasil and US
cities (over 1100 cities with ZUP code, 6119 cities total)
- expanding the city databases with details about country / state capitals
- expanding the country databases with details about the Internet abbreviation (e.g. .de, .uk, .us)
- informations about the databases are now kept in a seperate GeoWorld.data file,
so an expansion of the databases does no longer imply a change of the main program
- expansion of the info requester
- rewritten and expanded online help
- reworked and extremly expanded data about the inhabitants of the countries (over 100 kByte
text!!)
The Update Nr. 9 and a up-to-date demo version are available from our
homepage (title link), and should appear on Aminet (misc/edu) in the next few days.
Download (Demo): GeoWorld_E.lha
