It’s about time.  An iPhone Trojan has been unveiled.  The mastermind- an 11-year-old kid.

But seriously, the first Trojan attack is going by the name of “113 prep.”  Once launched, the app displays “shoes,” then causes damage to or deletes system-critical files in the /bin directory on the iPhone.

Update: Now noted by both F-Secure and Symantec.

Also on the menu: “thurkey.” Thanks to Eric for pointing out this great deli stand.

Good to know that our NYC taxis are powered by these great Windows- based navigation systems.  Maybe those cabbies should have stuck to their guns while striking last year.

All I can say is- good thing the navigation system isn’t driving the cabs -yet-

To see realtime filesystem usage in MacOSX:

fs_usage

Also useful for checking what exactly an app is doing:

fs_usage -w -f filesys | grep AppName

Today, BusinessWeek is reporting that Sony BMG has agreed to offer music for sale without DRM.  Of course it was only last week when Warner added DRM-free tunes to Amazon’s MP3 store.

The music should be available for Amazon’s 1 billion song MP3 Superbowl promo with Pepsi.

No more rootkits, I suppose.

To list all open network connections:

sudo lsof -i | grep LISTEN

To find non-apple kernel extensions:

kextstat | grep -v apple
