Test de cortafuegos personales para Windows arroja resultados preocupantes |
| En Matousec han realizado un estudio bastante completo de 21 soluciones cortafuegos para Windows.
Los programas han sido sometidos a 26 tests de fugas, tratando de comprobar su efectividad a la hora de bloquear conexiones salientes. Las pruebas se han realizado en dos contextos diferentes: primero, tal y como salen de la caja; después, en "modo paranoico", o sea, con la configuración más restrictiva posible.
Pues bien; según el estudio, muchos de los productos analizados sirven para poco más que nada, con el cortafuegos nativo de Windows XP ocupando el último lugar de la clasificación...

He and his team were able to create detailed views of life at the Media Lab, by observing how late people stayed at the lab, when they called one another and how much sleep students got.
Given enough data, Eagle's algorithms were able to predict what people -- especially professors and Media Lab employees -- would do next and be right up to 85 percent of the time.
This is worrisome from a number of angles: government surveillance, corporate surveillance for marketing purposes, criminal surveillance. I am not mollified by this comment:
People should not be too concerned about the data trails left by their phone, according to Chris Hoofnagle, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
"The location data and billing records is protected by statute, and carriers are under a duty of confidentiality to protect it," Hoofnagle said.
