[HITB-Announce] HITB Magazine Issue #7

Hello readers and welcome to issue #7.

It has been a long journey since the first release of the magazine and
we have seen a lot of changes and improvements overtime and still
trying our best to do more.

But as we grow, the amount of work and the time we need to spend
working on the magazine have also increased, thus requiring us to
recruit more people to join our small editorial team. So, if you think
you would like to do something for the community and believe that
we can have a great use of your talent - Feel free to drop us an email!

As for issue #7, Jonathan Kent wrote a great piece of article about the
current global crisis in the cyberspace while Aditya K. Sood and his
team on the other hand wrote about extending SQL injection attacks
through buffer overflow exploitation. We are also very happy to have
Jonathan Brossard contributing an article introducing the readers
to his newly released exploitation framework. We will leave you to
explore the rest of the articles and we hope you enjoy them.

Have fun reading this issue and more to come in issue #8!!

Well, the reasons for the change were:

  - tools using the module objects such as perf, gdb are not prepared
    for that.

  - debug info are wrongly generated when debug info are extracted by
    the kernel .spec (it's missing the buildid, source pathes are not
    fixed, IIRC).

  - it seems that the installer is using insmod instead of modprobe
    simply because modprobe used by the installer is not prepared
    too. If so, I'm wondering how module's deps are handled...

So yes I agree with you that wasting space is not a good thing but IMHO
generating/doing wrong stuff is worse.
