Head bangers beware: motion sensing headphones
The iPhone doesn’t have the market cornered on the use of accelerometers. The tiltphone project incorporates a three axis accelerometer into a set of headphones transforming them into a remote control for an iPod. A PIC16F690 reads in data from the analog sensor, translates specific movements into commands, and like the Arduino iPod Remote from last week, relays them to an iPod via the Apple Accessory Protocol. A quick nod left or right skips tracks, holding a sideways nod controls the volume, and setting the headphones down pauses.
This project is a bit older but we’re glad [anon] tipped…

Microsoft Internet Information Services Vulnerability Gives Complete Server Control
Microsoft has confirmed a vulnerability in its Internet Information Services webserver and spelled out the conditions under which it can be exploited to give an attacker complete control of the server on which it runs.
Remote execution of malicious code can be triggered only in limited cases, and even then, it’s relatively easy to change settings that close that possibility. Even then, exploits can still touch off denial-of-service attacks that completely shut down file transfer protocol.
Proof-of-concept code exploiting the vulnerability was released Monday. Microsoft said it will release a fix as soon as it’s ready.
The vulnerability can be…

WordPress 2.8.3 Remote Admin Password Reset Vulnerability
Researchers are sounding the alarm for a serious administrator password-reset vulnerability affecting the latest version of WordPress, the popular open-source blog publishing platform. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to compromise the admin account of any wordpress/wordpress-mu 2.8.3 and older.
The flaw, which can be exploited via the browser, gives an attacker a trivial way to compromise the admin account of any WordPress of WordPress MU (multiple user) installation.
The attack uses an ability of PHP to not only set values on variables, but also make them arrays. Basically a GET request can add data like: http://www.example.com?data
PHP takes…

Dedicated Servers versus Virtual Servers
There are always a few questions regarding the differences between dedicated hosting and virtual private servers. Here is a summary of the two types of hosting options and the pros and cons associated with each.
Dedicated Servers
A dedicated server means having your own physical server run in a server park somewhere. Many of these servers sit in large server farms or data centers. But this is a real server that the owner controls.
Pros:
Ability to chose operating system (Linux, Windows, etc)
Ability to chose software to install (Apache, Mysql, Microsoft IIS, Microsoft Sql Server, etc)
