Two computer scientists get a patent on a technique that floods peer-to-peer networks with spoofed files. They hope to sell it to content owners. Could companies that already spoof files be in violation of the patent? By Katie Dean.

Patent Office Agrees To Check Into All
That Prior Art On The Eolas Patent

Patent Office Agrees To Check Into All
That Prior Art On The Eolas Patent 11/12/2003 01:35 PM
The latest in the Eolas patent saga is that someone at the Patent Office has finally agreed to review the patent based on stacks and stacks of prior art that people have been finding. Amazingly, the Patent Office appears to have responded quickly (though, they don't say how long it will take for a new decision on the patent) to the requests for a re-examination of the patent. There's a quote from the USPTO's deputy commissioner for patent examination policy saying that this was an "extraordinary situation" which necessitated the quick response. The problem with this statement is that it's not an extraordinary situation. In fact, it's an increasingly common situation, where silly patents are getting the stamp of approval every day - and then used to hold other companies up for extortion, rather than for encouraging innovation.

Silly Patent Of The Day: Adobe Hit With
Lawsuit Over Hyperlink Patent 07/08/2004 05:05 PM
I think it's about time we came up with a new topic/icon for stupid patents. There are just so many of them these days. The latest is that Adobe, who is no stranger to abusing intellectual property rules, is now being hit with a patent over their PDF technology. The patent is for a method of extracting network information via hyperlinks. Reading through the patent, they're basically describing a system for clicking on a hyperlinking and having the system not only download the page in question, but all locally related pages linked from that page as well. Perhaps a useful system, but it seems like this sort of technology was around well before the patent was granted, and it's unclear what it has to do with PDF files.

Visual Spoofing

Visual Spoofing 02/11/2004 09:35 AM

While Microsoft recently patched a URL-based spoofing vulnerability, I just realized that a whole new class of spoofing exists for browsers: Visual Spoofing.  I have not yet seen any evidence of this type of spoofing actually being done, but I was able to create a demo within a few minutes.

Here is the demo of visual spoofing for IE6 I put together.  Note that the vulnerability is not unique to IE.

The problem with visual spoofing is that it is difficult to fix with a simple patch.  Yes there are ways to fix the problem partially but not completely because one can still create a page that looks like part of desktop by having images of overlapping windows to distract the clueless user who tend to keep many windows open.

I sure hope I don't get blamed for destroying e-commerce single-handedly with this post.  After all, the vulnerability was there in plain sight for everyone to see all this time.

Microsoft looks into Web-spoofing bug 12/15/2003 12:57 PM
Microsoft says it is investigating reports of a potential problem in its ubiquitous Web browser software that could allow hackers to create convincing spoofs of Web sites. The bug was reported by Secunia, a security company, and could allow hackers to display a false Web address on a fake site, making it easier for hackers to take advantage of fake "Web fronts" that purport to be a major commerce-driven site like eBay or PayPal, but actually are designed by the hacker to capture user names, passwords and financial information.

Richard C. Jaworski announces that the US Patent Office has granted his “Petition to Make Special” on his System of Testing the Upstream Cable Modem Channel (TUCMC) patent application. The petition to the US Patent Office alleged infringement of his technology by Acterna Corporation in their DSAM 2500 Cable Modem Test Instrument. Mr. Jaworski has written evidence that Acterna knew of the patent and the technology prior to releasing the feature in the DSAM 2500. According to patent law, triple damages are applicable for prior knowledge infringement as soon as the patent issues. Due to its special status, Jaworski expects the patent to issue in the immediate future. [PRWEB Sep 27, 2004]

Caller ID Spoofing Service 08/31/2004 05:56 AM

My wife and I made a decision nearly 2 years ago to no longer pay for Caller ID. I was initially against it but in the long run I have not missed it. All of the important calls come in on the cell anyway. For those of you that have Caller ID a new spoofing service is out their. I would imagine for stalkers and prank callers this service will be valuable but I just don't understand why you would want to legitimately spoof your caller ID. [ZDNet]

Caller ID Spoofing... For Businesses

Caller ID Spoofing... For Businesses 08/27/2004 07:01 PM
Forget spoofed email headers, a new company has been set up to help companies spoof the caller ID. The product is focused at collections agencies and private investigators, who can call a deadbeat up pretending to be someone they know to get them to answer the phone. The company insists they just want to target those types of customers, but I imagine some telemarketers would enjoy using such a tool. Meanwhile, there are some questions on legality. One person notes that it doesn't appear to break any laws -- but someone else points out that there are rules against collections agencies misrepresenting themselves. And, of course, as soon as this becomes popular, someone will pass a law banning caller ID spoofing.
