“Your digital data can now be filched from your computer in a form of
 Audio Signals.” Does this appear to be a dialogue from a science 
fiction movie? Because I can vouch for it to become the reality anytime 
soon.<br />

The Security researchers from Germany have developed a new sort of 
computer malware that can steal your passwords, login information or any
 other data from a PC and can transfer it in a form of an audio signal 
to the PC nearby; these audio signals are not even audible to humans as 
its frequency is outside the human hearing range.<br />

The research had published in the <a href="http://www.jocm.us/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=124&id=600" target="_blank">Journal of Communications</a> which was led by a team from <a href="http://www.fkie.fraunhofer.de/en.html" target="_blank">Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing, and Ergonomics.</a><br />

Researchers Michael Hanspach and Michael Goetz managed to use the 
built-in speakers and microphones of computer to transmit passwords and 
other data at a rate of 20 bits per second over a distance of almost 20 
meters, allowing the malware to privately ooze critical data to the 
outer world.<br />

According to the Abstract part of their research paper,<br />

<blockquote>
“We construct a covert channel between different 
computing systems that utilizes audio modulation/demodulation to 
exchange data between the computing systems over the air medium. “</blockquote>
In case you don’t know, a covert channel is a way to transfer 
information between processes that are not authorized to communicate.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Furthermore, the researchers wrote,<br />

<blockquote>
“If we want to exploit a rigorously hardened and tested 
type of computing system or networks of this type of computing system, 
we have to break new ground”.</blockquote>
Oftentimes, Speakers and microphones are disregarded in security 
planning, and by availing frequencies outside the human hearing range it
 is apparent that such data could escape detection even when they are 
transmitted across a crowded workplace.<br />

The analysis used five Lenovo T400 laptops running Debian 7.1, and 
was performed in a standard computer lab with no particularly unusual 
audio characteristics. Transmissions were sent at around 20 kHz and were
 found to be totally inaudible to humans during the experiment. The 
paper suggests that this frequency could be even higher, to make it even
 less probable to be caught, but this would lessen the broadcast range.<br />

During the experiment the researchers were able to covertly log the 
keystrokes made by a user at one computer and broadcast them over audio 
through a chain of other computers until the message was eventually 
passed to a machine connected to the internet, and sent back to a 
malicious attacker despite the fact that the transmission rate is too 
slow.<br />

“Alongside keystroke information it would also be possible to forward
 other security critical data such as private encryption keys or 
small-sized text files with classified information from the infected 
victim to the covert network,” said researchers.<br />

Now there is a good reason for you to disconnect your built-in mics 
and speakers. Although it is pretty impractical, it might be worth doing
 on a governmental level.<br />

We already train dogs to sniff for bombs and drugs. Clearly, the time
 is not very far when we shall be training them to hear the Malwares 
too.<br />

On a related noted, NSA would be considering to implement this new technique somewhere in the world. So watch out!</div>

PTA, Its the Time To Act and Save the Industry!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pakistan’s telecommunication industry, for the past 10 or so years, 
has been highly instrumental in not only generating handsome revenue for
 the government but is also providing relief to the masses by enabling 
them with advanced telecom services and offering job opportunities to 
hundreds of thousands of individuals.<br />

The industry that has suffered badly from the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://propakistani.pk/2013/05/09/cellular-services-are-likely-to-remain-suspended-in-pakistan-on-may-11th/&sa=U&ei=_xWgUtXENs3bsgb0ooGACA&ved=0CA4QFjAE&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHw5zUgp_0CK8sXchdO0J2qJTD_4w" target="_blank">law and order situation</a>, security issue, lack of interest of foreign investment,
 is undergoing its worst era since the Telecommunication Ordinance, 1994
 which lead to the establishment of “The Pakistan Telecommunication 
Authority (PTA)”, “Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) and “National 
Telecommunication Corporation (NTC)”.<br />

The purpose of the first two i.e. PTA and FAB were to <strong>maintain fair competition and regulate the telecom industry</strong> and telecom services.<br />

As if law and order situation and the country’s uncertain state of affairs were not enough, the other culprit of this recession in Pakistan’s telecommunication industry
 is PTA, which failed to meet its founding purpose i.e. “to maintain 
fair competition and regulate the telecom industry and telecom 
services”.<br />

In the broad-band internet sector PTA has totally failed to maintain 
any kind of fair competition. “Pakistan Telecommunication Company 
Limited” (PTCL) has clear monopoly; the landline giant backed with a 
huge infrastructure all over the nation has lowered its rates to an 
extent that there is no question of competition. Almost all of the 
remaining broad band service providers are suffering due to the 
situation. Most of these broadband operators have exited, other are planning mergers while the remaining ones are without any investment plans, leading to downsizing and uncertainty amongst their ranks.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
So, a big industry has succumbed to monopoly of PTCL and lack of 
regulation by PTA that allowed this without any notice (read 
incompetence). It appears like the term Significant Market Player (SMP) 
is entirely forgotten.<br />

Apart from the above, frequent suspension of mobile services, huge amount of taxes, and blocking of online content
 are some of the issues that are hurting the industry badly in terms of 
revenue, chasing away the investors and hence the repercussions; 
recession in an industry that proved its potential in the past and 
continues to promise much more.<br />

PTA has failed to perform its role, and has failed to understand the business needs of its license holders.<br />

In the current economic situation it is essential for PTA to 
re-evaluate its policies to regain the investor’s confidence, and in 
order to do so they will have to think by putting itself in investors’ 
shoes.<br />

Providing a level playing field where everyone should have equal 
opportunities. Monopoly needs to be broken by setting reasonable tariff 
brackets. Also, before forcing any policy PTA needs to ensure it’s 
financial and business repercussions on the licensees. Its only the last
 chance the authority has got, or things will worsen to a point of no 
return.<br />

While we appreciate the planned auction of 3G and the way PTA has 
carried forward things so far, there is a lot more to be done. Telecom 
and broadband policies expired a long ago, so is the IT Policy, issue of
 MVNO is long pending, quality of service surveys were last conducted in
 2010. And what now? There is a plethora of work to be done and time is 
only ticking.<br />

Proper regulation – even now – and healthy competition can attract 
foreign investment and can make this sector an important contributor to 
the economy of the country again.<br />

An intelligent and business friendly regulator is essential to revive the lost glory of the industry.</div>

Google is quite experienced when it comes to introducing quirky, new 
and unconventional ideas but this time they might’ve outdone themselves.
 Earlier this year, Andy Rubin, the person behind Android quit his job in favour of a “moonshot”.<br />

As it turns out, that ultimate goal was robotics. Google’s next 
biggest adventure will probably bring robots closer to you, however, in 
which particular way isn’t yet known.<br />

“I have a history of making my hobbies into a career” Andy Rubin told
 the New York Times. “This is the world’s greatest job. Being an 
engineer and a tinkerer, you start thinking about what you would want to
 build for yourself.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
“Like any moonshot, you have to think of time as a factor. We need enough runway and a 10-year vision.”<br />

“I am excited about Andy Rubin’s next project,” CEO Larry Page wrote 
in his Google Plus account. “His last big bet, Android, started off as a
 crazy idea that ended up putting a supercomputer in hundreds of 
millions of pockets. It is still very early days for this, but I can’t 
wait to see the progress.”<br />

It is being guessed that that goal is in refining the process of 
manufacturing but with them, you never know. Google has already brought 
as many as seven companies in Japan and the USA to help it in pursuing 
its passion.<br />

Not much is known regarding the project other than that. With Glass 
and driver-less cars Google may have been able to explore some niche and
 uncommon ideas but its biggest gift to the humanity might eventually 
come in the form of robots.</div>

Wateen and Qubee have decided to merge operations to re-energize the 
wireless broadband market, said a press statement issued by both 
companies.<br />

Merger plan, which is subject to necessary authority approvals from 
PTA and CCP, is announced along with planned investments of more than 
US$25 million for the improvement and expansion in coverage of the 
combined network of both companies.<br />

The agreement will see Wateen and Qubee forming the second largest 
broadband service provider in Pakistan, with over 200,000 subscribers.<br />

Not to forget, <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/12/mobilink-infinity-plans-to-wrap-up.html" target="_blank">Mobilink Inifinity handed over its customers to Qubee</a> last week to exit the WiMAX market.<br />

After the transaction, Wateen/Qubee and wi-tribe will become only two WiMAX operators in the industry.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
