NFR announced today the release of BackOfficer Friendly 1.0, a desktop
intrusion and scan detection server that watches for BackOrifice attacks
and other types of scans. Using spoofing server technology, BackOfficer
Friendly responds to Back Orifice and other possibly unwanted requests
with false answers that look like they were created by the hacker tool.
At the same time, BackOfficer Friendly alerts you and records information
about the source of the attempt and the operations they attempted to
perform. (Whoa, this is scary stuff. BO users better be careful.)

Swatch a Swiss watchmaker, has abandoned plans to to broadcast
advertising on a ham radio frequency. The broadcast would have been in
direct violation of international treaty. Due to the overwhelming number
of complaints received by the company it has withdrawn its plans to
broadcast the messages. (We are glad that Swatch has come to its sense
but this whole thing sounds like such a marketing ploy.)

Are we officially at War? Should civilians be launching their own cyber
attacks? Fox News examines these questions. While they sensationalize it
a little and get a few of the facts wrong (LoU declared war four months
ago, not years) this article does raise some interesting questions.

We have made a few changes around the site we thought we should inform
you about. We now have translation services available in the right menu
for some of our non english speaking visitors. We have added The
Security Search Engine to the search page. A new con has been added to
the cons page. Some items have been added to the HNN Store and many
thanks to p0lix for helping us purge the Affiliates Page of old links.

Once again we feel that a disclaimer must be posted. Way down here at the
bottom of the page is the place for unconfirmed reports, rumors, things a
little bird told us. Things we do not have time to check out and verify.
This includes the listings of cracked web pages. While we do our best to
verify everything before we put it online stuff that resides below the
"Rumors From the Underground" banner should be treated as suspect and
unverified. So if your site is listed below and it was not cracked we
apologize.
Innerpulse Cracked?
There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what has happened to Innerpulse.com, a hacker news site
that takes a more humorous approach than HNN. Some have said that they
have been cracked, other think they have been bought out. Who knows. HNN
has been unable to contact the operators of either site. Your guess is as
good as ours.
