Mind Control | Brain wave sensor | Future Gaming |Silicon Valley |

How would you feel if the music player play songs depending on your mood, how would u feel when you can lift an object by just using the brain wave ? Sounds interesting ?

NeuroSky is developing some consumer technology that might lead the way to some intense game control in the near future!

“NeuroSky has developed a cost effective bio sensor and signal processing system for the consumer market. Our wearable technology unlocks worlds of new applications such as consumer electronics, health, wellness, education and training.





The neurons that comprise the brain work on electrical impulses. The last century of neurological research has shown us that brainwaves of different wavelengths indicate different emotional states, like a focused awareness, a meditative state, or drowsiness. Brainwaves have been used in medical research and therapy for years. We’re bringing it to the consumer world. ”





Five companies, including a Bluetooth headset provider, game console maker and trucking company, are said to have signed up to market end-user products containing NeuroSky's chips. Its biggest customer thus far is Ziyitong Technology Co. Ltd. (China Mobile), which has more than 100 million cell phone subscribers, 13 million of whom have high-speed 3G service.

eBay Web attack using custom- built botnet | eBay users "ALERT"

Seeding genuine web sites with malware is nothing new, but the practice has been gathering steam this year.The site was compromised by SQL injection vulnerabilities and then IFrame attack code is inserted.Yet another sophisticated Web-based attack against eBay and its users is being investigated by a Tel Aviv-based security vendor that discovered a similar attack two months ago involving a custom-made bot designed to steal accounts.Ofer Elzam, Aladdin Knowledge Systems’ director of product management, says his firm has determined in the last few days that at least two Web sites, one called Save Our Planet and another called Nova Radio, appear to have been compromised with malicious code that combines to launch an attack against a site visitor. Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd.(NASDAQ: ALDN) announced that the Aladdin eSafe Content Security Response Team (CSRT) has uncovered significant new details surrounding the eBay botnet attack it first discovered on September 6, 2007 .The attack, which is one of the first of its kind to employ extremely complex, multi-stage attack methods, performs a distributed and covert brute force attack on eBay accounts in an effort to obtain personal information and/or items sold/purchased via the eBay site. Two new details provided by the Aladdin eSafe CSRT were made available this afternoon:

The goal of the re-attack today is to combine code to break in through the browser to the victim’s desktop and install a Trojan to collect eBay user account information, if it’s found, and connect to eBay to use that account information to commit fraud. “There are a chain of sites that work together,” says Elzam. “One Web page uses a trick with JavaScript to open a size-zero window, which takes content from a third-party site.” Elzam says Aladdin hasn’t yet been able to reach the operators of the Save Our Planet and Nova Radio sites- and notes that forty more Web sites may be tied to this attack, which is very fluid and changing-- but it has been in touch with eBay.
