PHP (Hypertest Preprocessor) is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language that is very popular for web development. When PHP is running on a web server, each and every request to the web server will return the following line of header with PHP version information to the browser.
X-Powered-By: PHP/[version]The X-Powered-By header info is controlled by expose_php core php.ini directive. expose_php determines whether web server will report that PHP is being used to process the request, and what version of PHP is installed to every request. expose_php is enabled by default, so the information is sent on each HTTP and HTTPS request.
While PHP is generally reliable and secure, older and outdated versions of PHP may contain security holes and bugs. Although there is no problem leaving PHP version info exposed, and enable expose_php is not classified as security risk, but malicious hackers looking for potentially vulnerable targets can use PHP version installed on a web server to identify a weakness. By turning off expose_php, the existence and version of PHP is hidden, and help lower threat to attacks that rely on simple reconnaissance techniques to scan for vulnerable targets. Although websites not using SEO-optimized URL structures may still potentially been seen by human as running PHP from link location (e.g. index.php?variable=value), but bots and automated scripts from novice attackers may be fooled.
So it’s recommended disable and turn expose_php off. Webmasters can disable expose_php in the php.ini file, usually located in /etc, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/lib/php/:
; Disable expose_php for security reasons
expose_php = Off
Tip: Setting expose_php to Off in php.ini does not prevent or stop php_info() function from executing.

Download 64-bit Windows 7 Build 7232 VHD and Installation ISO
Only 32-bit (x86) version of Windows 7 Build 7231 was leaked, but 64-bit lover can take heart that a 64-bit (x64) version of Windows 7 Build 7232, a newer build has also been leaked to Internet, and available for download via BitTorrent network. However, similar to Windows 7 Build 7227 and 7231, the leak is also in VHD virtual hard disk format, which may be useless for some non-technical people.
Windows 7 Build 7232 has the full build tag string of 6.1.7232.0.winmain.090613-0700. Thus, the build was compiled and signed off on June 13, 2009. In Windows 7 Build 7232, the wallpaper of installed system desktop background is no longer the betta fish wallpaper, but has been changed to probably the Windows 7 RTM official wallpaper. It probably indicates that Windows 7 Build 7232 is much closer than RTM than any previous builds, and probably is RTM-Escrow build.

The benefits are obvious, just imagine that now you can always get the same types of chargers regardless whether you own multiple mobile devices with different brand and model and more importantly, it will help to conserve the environment by reducing the scrapped charger units significantly whenever users upgrade their new mobile devices.
If the effort is successful, you may no longer able to find the mobile charger that used to be bundled in new mobile phone package since there is no point to push them into market other than as a defective replacement purpose.

Nintendo Wii Enabled with SDHC Support through System Menu 4.0 Upgrade
While Nintendo Wii is so famous among the game consoles with its sale has exceeded 50 millions globally, there are still some users that are not fully satisfied with it. One of the major issues is the lacking of the huge internal memory storage (only 512MB NAND storage) that cause some inconvenience to those gamers when there is a need to transfer some games to external storage to free up internal storage for new downloads. Good news here, the Japanese game consoles manufacturer has just released a new major System Menu 4.0 updates to enable SDHC cards support up to 32GB.
The software update will bring a new SD card menu GUI that allows users to transfer both files and channels between system internal and external memories. Besides, it also allows the game download directly into SD card without occupying the system memory.
This is definitely an important value added feature to promote greater users’ experience while fixing some of the previous shortcomings without the need to involve major hardware upgrade that could be troublesome and cost consuming. Furthermore, SDHC card is so common now and users can probably grab one of 32GB for less than $40.

This Site May Harm Your Computer On Every Sites Bug in Google Search Results
Google has been working flawlessly so far even though get hit with millions of requests per hour. But not today. Every search results in Google search engine now tagged with “This site may harm your computer”. The direct links to the URL of the sites listed in the search results are been redirected to a interstitial page labeled “Warning – visiting this web site may harm your computer!” and various links to Google and StopBadware.org.
To make matter worse, all major established sites are been labeled as possible harmful or malicious badware sites, such as Microsoft
, Yahoo, My Digital Life, and even Google itself. Even localized Google search engines in another languages such as French, German, Japanese, Chinese and etc. are affected by the major bug.
The bug appears to have happened for several hours, but not yet been fixed. It will only cause problem to webmasters though, as ads that appear with the search results appear to be working fine without problem. Only organic search results are been affected. Currently, the only workaround is to directly type in the URL into the address bar in order to access the website, or switch to Google Blog Search or Image Search or Google Mobile Search. More useful workaround is probably using Yahoo or Windows Live (MSN) Search.
Note: The bug has been fixed. Official Google blog explained that “unfortunately (and here’s the human error), the URL of ‘/’ was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and ‘/’ expands to all URLs. Fortunately, our on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file. Since we push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. and began disappearing between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes.”

Account Locks Out Due to Brute Force Protection in cPanel WebHost Manager (WHM)
Occasionally, when user or website administrator attempts to login to cPanel’s WebHost Manager (WHM), or remote or local log in via Telnet or SSH to Linux console to the web server, the login is denied and not allowed. The following error message may appear.
This account is currently locked out because a brute force attempt was detected. Please wait 10 minutes and try again. Attempting to login again will only increase this delay. If you frequently experience this problem, we recommend having your username changed to something less generic.
The brute force protection on cPanel-powerd web host is provided by cPHulk, which prevents malicious forces from trying to access the server’s services by guessing the login password for that service. When an account on the system has experienced too many failed login attempts, the particular account will automatically been “protected” by forbidding further login attempts, including all-important root account. cPHulk Brute Force Protection will also block out an IP address which has been detected to send too many unauthorized logon attempts.
As a result, server’s owner are potentially been locked out of the server if the cPHulkd is enabled, even the wild-guessing brute force hacking is done by hackers in another corner of the world.
When WHM locks out an user account, especially “root”, the best way is to wait for 10 minutes to see if the account will be unlocked. If the locks persists, webmaster and administrator who still can remote login via SSH to the server as root can manually remove the lockouts via following steps:
1. Type mysql at console to access MySQL client.
2. At MySQL client prompt, enter the following commands (preceding with mysql>)one after one, pressing Enter each time:
mysql> use cphulkd;
Expected result: Database changed.
mysql> BACKUP TABLE `brutes` TO ‘/path/to/backup/directory’;
mysql> BACKUP TABLE `logins` TO ‘/path/to/backup/directory’;
Above command will backup the brutes table, the main table used by cPHulk to record locked accounts and denied IP addresses.
mysql> DELETE FROM `brutes`;
mysql> DELETE FROM `logins`;
Above commands will remove all blocked IP addresses and locked accounts from the system, enabling full access again. If you’re familiar with SQL statements, it’s possible to use WHERE clause to specify logins or IP address that you want to remove only.
mysql> quit;
Exit MySQL client.
If you can’t login to the server due to brute force protection, you probably have to contact web hosting service provider support to physically access the server to remove the Brute Force Protection. To avoid future blockage or lock out, it’s recommended to add own IP address as Trusted Hosts List whitelist in cPHulk Brute Force Protection. To do so, go to WHM -> Security -> Security Center -> cPHulk Brute Force Protection. Inside “Configure cPHulk”, click Trusted Hosts List link.

Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 RTM Build 7600 (6.1.7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945)
Apparently Microsoft has compiled and signed off the RTM (Released to Manufacturing) build of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 much earlier than everybody expected, and with the build version tag number that’s come as a surprise too. Just as most people awaits Windows 7 RTM with build version of 7300 (as Windows 7 Beta is 7000 and Windows 7 RC is 7100), or 7272, as the natural increment to July 13th, the much rumored official RTM date, the word is leaked that Windows 7 RTM will be build 7600, with version number of 6.1.7600.16384 and full build string of 6.1.7600.16384.win7_rtm.090710-1945, if it’s indeed the final gold RTM code for Windows 7
From the build string, Windows 7 RTM is compiled on July 10, 2009, at 19:45 PM. This time the leaked information and apparently ISO images for Windows 7 RTM Build 7600 appear to come from Chinese sites. In fact, some has got a hand on Windows 7 RTM Build 7600, installed it and posted the screenshots, where desktop also has official Windows 7 RTM wallpaper.
According to WZor, the choice for final RTM build for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 is between the following candidates before the build jumps to 7600:
6.1.7269.0.win7_rtm.090706-1900;
6.1.7270.0.win7_rtm.090708-1900;
6.1.7271.0.win7_rtm.090709-1520;
WZor further specifies that another assembly of Windows 7 which will increase the minor build number to 16386 or so. Thus, the final RTM build may stay and finalize as 7600. The Windows 7 RTM will possibly be announced at the upcoming World Partner Conference (WPC09) at New Orleans from 13 to 16 July, 2009. Windows 7 RTM is expected to release to Microsoft partners for free download via Connect from July 24, 2009, and possibly through MSDN and TechNet Subscriber Downloads.

However, Windows 7 Build 7264 is likely not to be the final RTM build, as a show-stopper bug been found when it’s a candidate for RTM. Besides, an even newer build such as 6.1.7265.0.win7_rtm.090624-1905 has been known to be compiled by Microsoft. However, it’s the latest build to available to general public for free download.
