Can you imagine living a life where having a box of pasta could be your only meal that day? Unfortunately that is a reality for some families here in Campbell River. 99-7 THE RIVER morning show host DAVE REYNOLDS has announced a major community initiative for Campbell River… “THE RIVER RELIEF TRUCK”. It’s a 53 foot trailer that will be parked at Mercroft Village and it starts empty, except for Dave and the River morning flow team.

Dave will be living in the trailer, around the clock, 24 hours a day, until the trailer is filled with food for the Campbell River food bank. keep listening to THE RIVER for details as, once again, Campbell Rivers folks help Campbell River families in need.

Budget 2009 provides Canada Health Infoway with $500 million to support the goal of having 50 per cent of Canadians with an electronic health record by 2010.

Canada Health Infoway

http://www.infoway-inforoute.ca/lang-en/

An efficient and effective health care system continues to be a top priority for Canadians.
The implementation of health information systems in Canada, often referred to as electronic health records, is a critical element to achieving this goal by enhancing the safety, quality and efficiency of the health care system. Such systems will not only contribute to reducing waste and duplication within the health system, they will also contribute to preventing adverse drug events, improving the management of chronic disease, improving access to care and boosting productivity.

For the last several years, Canada Health Infoway has been working toward the goal of having electronic health records in place across Canada. Infoway’s actions are already translating into real benefits for patients throughout Canada. For example, in Nova Scotia, the shared diagnostic imaging program provides the delivery of digital images of X-rays, MRIs, CT scans and ultrasounds to authorized health practitioners where and when they are needed. Nationally, Infoway estimates that investments in digital diagnostic imaging technology have already increased productivity to a level equivalent to adding more than 500 radiologists to Canada’s health care system.

Patients in remote northern communities are now connected with health care professionals in urban centres through telehealth—improving their access to care.
Budget 2009 provides Canada Health Infoway with $500 million to support the goal of having 50 per cent of Canadians with an electronic health record by 2010. In addition, this funding will be used to speed up the implementation of electronic medical record systems for physicians and integrated points of service for hospitals, pharmacies, community care facilities and patients. An electronic medical record system allows doctors and other health care providers to chart patient health information using a  computer, thereby avoiding duplication of testing and helping to ensure patient safety and effective treatment.
This $500-million investment will not only enhance the safety, quality and efficiency of the health care system, but will also result in a significant positive contribution to Canada’s economy, including the creation of thousands of sustainable, knowledge-based jobs throughout Canada.

ikee worm & how to change your root ssh password for your Jailbroke iPhone

Though the ikee worm and other recent incidents have highlighted security risks facing users of jailbroken iPhones, the question remains: If you are using a jailbroken iPhone, just how insecure is it and what can you do about it?

The first known worm for the Apple iPhone is sweeping across Australia, and it is taking advantage of default SSH passwords on jail-broken phones.

What’s clear is that if you have jailbroken your iPhone or iPod Touch, and installed SSH, then you must always change your root user password to something different than the default, “alpine”. In fact, it would be a good idea if you didn’t use a dictionary word at all.

Presently it appears that the worm does nothing more malicious than spread and change the infected user’s lock screen wallpaper. However, that doesn’t mean that attacks like this can be considered harmless.

It looks like the only fix, since the worm disables ssh on the phone, is to reformat the phone. The files aren’t too terribly hidden, but how do you remove them if you can’t get into your phone? Reformat looks like the only way how.

If you would like to hear all about the worm from the creator itself you can get it from the Risky Business Podcast #131 from Apple’s itunes. or http://risky.biz/RB131

This looks like the start of things to come for mobile devices, Intego claims iPhone/Privacy.A a new worm is far more dangerous than the Ikee worm, takes advantage of the same vulnerability in the iPhone as the Ikee worm, allowing hackers to connect to any jailbroken iPhone whose owners have not changed the root password.

The tool reportedly allows a hacker to silently copy user data from a compromised iPhone including email, contacts, SMSs, calendars, photos, music files, videos, as well as any data recorded by any iPhone application insists Intego. This new hacker also tool gives no indication that it has invaded an iPhone.

Change Root Password of Your iPhone

Open the Cydia and go to Search Tab. Search for MobileTerminal.

Tap the MobileTerminal from the search results.
Tap the Install button at the top-right

Now tap the confirm button at the top-right.
Once you’re done with the installation, press the big Return to Cydia button.

Now press the Home button to close the Cydia and open the MobileTerminal from your iPhone SpringBoard.

type su and press return key at the bottom-right.
Now input alpine as your password and press return key.

Once the password is entered correctly, you’ll be logged in as root user.
Now input passwd and press return key

You will be prompted to input a new password for root. Input your desired new password and press return.

you’ll be asked to retype your new password again and hit return key.

Congratulations you’ve secured your iPhone by changing root password from unauthorized access.

How to create a bootable Windows install USB drive

It’s nice that when you buy a netbook that the recovery media is a cd or dvd. Remote restore would be a nice option, such as the macbook air has. But if you have looked at my other post about installing linux on a netbook, that software does not work for installing windows onto the usb drive. But not to worry here is some software just for that.

What we will need

• A USB key (1 or 8 GB)
• A Windows CD
• A PC with a CD/DVD player
• WinSetupFromUSBSoftware

http://www.mediafire.com/?nefyzniizmj Download here

Installing onto the USB Drive

Once downloaded, run the installation software and follow the installation wizard. At the end of the installation, the software will launch.

• Step 1: Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD ROM drive and click Browse
• Step 2: Enter the destination path on the PC
• Step 3: Select your CD/DVD drive where your CD is Windows and click OK
• Step 4: Click Refresh and then go on the small arrow just to the left and select the USB key that you will use to boot Windows
• Step 5: Select Fixed
• Step 6: Everything is ready you can just click on the GO

Wait for the copying procedure. Then close the software (you are informed when the copy is complete)

Installing Windows

Plug the USB drive into your netbook

When the boot screen comes up you should have a boot menu option (something like press F12 to enter the boot menu) if not you will have to change the boot option in the BIOS to boot from USB drive.

Here, you’ll have two lines in the GRUB menu:

1. The first is to select the startup of the installation procedure ( This is the first step of the installation, once the computer is finished this step, the computer will reboot; you must boot again to the usb drive in order to finish the installation)
2. The second line will be for the rest of the installation and the first boot of Windows ( Follow the installation instructions for a normal installation )

Now you will have a fully functional, bootable Windows USB recovery media.

Audit your Linux box with Lynis

Is your linux box secure? Have you changed the default settings from the install? is SSH remote root access open? Is your firewall configured? Lynis is a great tool to show you what is open on your computer, what has default settings applied, and shows you what needs a fixn’. This software provides a quick but thorough scan of your box. You still have to do the work to harden you computer, but at least you have a very good idea of what needs to be fixed.

You can install the software through your package manager, or download from their website http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/lynis.html .

Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (specialists). It scans the system and available software, to detect security issues. Beside security related information it will also scan for general system information, installed packages and configuration mistakes.

This software aims in assisting automated auditing, software patch management, vulnerability and malware scanning of Unix based systems. It can be run without prior installation, so inclusion on read only storage is no problem (USB stick, cd/dvd).

Lynis assists auditors in performing Basel II, GLBA, HIPAA, PCI DSS and SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) compliance audits.

What is Lynis NOT:
- Not a hardening tool: Lynis does not fix things automatically, it reports only (and makes suggestions).

Intended audience:
Security specialists, penetration testers, system auditors, system/network managers.

Examples of audit tests:
- Available authentication methods
- Expired SSL certificates
- Outdated software
- User accounts without password
- Incorrect file permissions
- Firewall auditing

There is a new version of Lynis out now 1.2.8 – Latest release

Administrator access for folders without using the terminal

If you need to access folders that need administrator rights in Ubuntu without having to go through the terminal, ( this is if you are using Nautilus) install the nautilus-gksu package from the package manager. This will give you the option in your right-click menu to open up the folder/file as an administrator without having to go through the terminal route.
