Being as they are using the resonant frequency to destroy the virus, I imagine the differences in the mechanical structures between viruses and other surrounding material would isolate the applied force to the virus. Disclaimer: This is no where near my field of study.

Memory Checker Tools For C++? 398

Posted by kdawson on Wednesday June 06, 2007 @05:40AM from the heaps-and-bounds dept.

An anonymous reader writes "These newfangled memory-managed languages like Java and C# leave an old C++ dev like me feeling like I am missing the love. Are there any good C++ tools out there that do really good memory validation and heap checking? I have used BoundsChecker but I was looking for something a little faster.

Submission + - Forensics Meets Its Match: New Tools Thwart Police (cio.com)

Submitted by rabblerouzer on Thursday May 31, 2007 @03:40PM

rabblerouzer writes: Antiforensic tools have slid down the technical food chain, from Unix to Windows, from something only elite users could master to something nontechnical users can operate. "Five years ago, you could count on one hand the number of people who could do a lot of these things," says one investigator. "Now it's hobby level." Take, for example, TimeStomp. Forensic investigators poring over compromised systems where Timestomp was used often find files that were created 10 years from now, accessed two years ago and never modified.
