ANDOVER, Massachusetts, November 23, 2010 – Napatech today released a new white paper outlining how standard server hardware and Napatech intelligent adapters can be used to build affordable traffic generation systems. This promises to extend the availability of test equipment to engineers that previously could not be served due to price.

“Test systems are complex pieces of equipment, which are typically on the forefront of technology development”, said Erik Norup, President, Napatech Inc. “Development of these systems is costly and they are therefore priced accordingly. However, the high price-tag usually means that organizations can only afford to buy a few of these systems, which in turn means that development engineers have to contend for access to test resources.”

 London, 23rd November 2010 - A report on the Associated Press, which goes into some detail about a string of real-world bank account draining sessions by hackers, highlights the fact that hackers are repurposing the ZeuS trojan to target business bank account users.

 And the reason for this diversification, says Idappcom, the vulnerability testing specialist, is that business bank accounts tend to have higher bank balances, as well as having several people – and therefore several sets of user credentials - to access the account online within a given business.

"Ever since ZeuS first appeared back in the summer of 2007, we have been tracking its steady progress, especially since the trojan horse was successfully modified in the spring of last year, when hackers discovered they could extend the malware's functionality through the use of extensible code and scripting," said Ray Bryant, Idappcom's CEO.
