Firefox 26 for Windows 8 Likely to Be Launched on December 10th

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 03:24 PM PDT

In coming December, Mozilla is going to release a "Metro-ized" Firefox for the users of Windows 8. It will be indeed a pleasant change for the users of Windows 8. Mozilla has been working on this advanced edition of Firefox for the last one year to give its users a modern interface UI that is known as Metro. It launched its rough preview in previous years in October a few weeks earlier with the release of Windows 8.

Metro-ized Firefox for Windows 8Microsoft developers faced unusual obstacles while they were developing Windows 8. A user needs to set one browser as his default one and the Modern UI will run only that browser in Windows 8. So, Internet Explorer was set as its default browser and when Windows 8.1 releases on 17th October, Internet Explorer 11 will be its default browser.

So, in the same way, Mozilla explained that it is highly demanded for it to introduce an advanced browser app to remain in competition as Google has also introduced the advanced version of Chrome for Windows 8 in June 2012. That’s why Mozilla is going to launch its Firefox 26 that will compete with the advanced interface of Windows 8. Mozilla will also issue Aurora and Beta versions of Firefox 26 on 16th September and 28th October for the users.

This latest Firefox will contain an advanced Metro-ized Start Page, Metro touch, integrated with the charms bar of Windows 8, swipe gestures and an advanced interface. The users should be well versed with the fact that this version of Firefox is specifically designed to work in Windows 8 and it will not work in Windows RT.

Apple iOS Security at Risk Due to Jekyll App

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 03:03 PM PDT

Some researchers of Georgia Institute of Technology who are doing research on computer security have proved that they can destroy Apple’s iOS by creating some malicious apps. They named these malicious apps as Jekyll apps. They presented a paper "Jekyll on iOS: When Benign Apps Become Evil" in the 13th Conference of Usenix Security and demonstrated how they could create malicious apps that could be controlled remotely by using software paths.

JekyllBasically every system has flaws. IOS also has some flaws like other operating systems and these researchers have caught these flaws. They can exploit iOS on the basis of these flaws they caught in it. On the other hand, Apple can overcome these flaws once it comes to know about them and if it does not come to know, it cannot identify.

The creators of Jekyll apps do not concentrate on the implementation flaws in Apple’s operating system. They demonstrate their logic regarding the control flaws in iOS and got the remote control over the iOS.

Adding malicious logic system while it is starting, does not detect the errors by the static analysis’ automated methods and reviewers. Through automated methods for static analysis can be considered a way for the code analysis of the program without following the instructions. These four researchers proved their logic by submitting a Jekyll app to iOS to get it sanctioned by Apple for downloading it.

When it was asked whether it is an easy task to create and use such a malicious app, one of the researchers elaborated in an email that they assume that Apple has a deep perception regarding unexecuted offshoots of codes that may invite malicious behavior when some specific conditions occur.
