Contribute / ProFTPd problem solved

Contribute / ProFTPd problem solved 11/19/2003 06:55 PM

After further analysis of the Contribute problem described earlier, we discovered that Contribute was opening a new FTP connection every time we clicked a link within the application even before we had hit the "edit page" button to fire up the editing mode. Switching the connection over to use SFTP instead of FTP had the same problem, with a secure connection being opened for each link we clicked instead. The connections remained open until we shut down Contribute.

My hunch is that this could be an obscure bug that only surfaces when Contribute is used with ProFTPd 1.2.9. At any rate, we've solved the problem by setting the MaxClientsPerUser directive in the ProFTPd configuration file. Contribute doesn't seem to mind in the slightest.

Porn Problem On Mobile Phones Solved

Porn Problem On Mobile Phones Solved 06/14/2004 01:17 PM
For the last few months, the idea that kids would be running around accessing all sort of awful pornography on their mobile phones has been getting increasing attention, mainly due to mislead ing studies and a growing frenzy of people who hear the words "porn" and "children" and like to freak out before any details are known. However, it seems that worried parents around the globe can now rest easier, since we're being told the problem of porn on mobile phones has been solved by some new filters. Yes, despite the fact that porn filters on much more powerful computers have been shown to barely work at all, while tending to block plenty of perfectly legitimate sites and images, apparently these porn filters on mobile phones work perfectly. Or, at least, that's the impression you would get reading this article that doesn't seem to doubt the fact that these mobile phone porn filters must work. At the same time, no one has yet demonstrated that the issue of porn on mobile phones actually is a problem - but the article does make clear that wireless carriers are going to need to manage all this filtering software themselves, because it won't run at the handset level. So, we now have an expensive to maintain non-working solution to a problem that might not exist.

I have just read a review of Gmail that highlights some of the concern people are having with the privacy of the service. We all know that they are scanning incoming e-mail to be able to target advertisements at you. But the writer is concerned with legal ramifications of being on Gmail and the possibility of Gmail becoming a one stop shopping center for law enforcement. [Technology Review]

The Black iPod; Update: Solved!

The Black iPod; Update: Solved! 07/14/2004 12:06 PM

So a car company, which I'll call Jaguar (if I may be so bold), is offering up a chance to win a black iPod to promote its X-Type automobile. And what's interesting, besides the chance at a mythical black iPod, is the fact that there was once 75 of these custom-painted devices, at least according to MacCentral. But why? I presume that the other 74 had something to do with Jaguar, too, but where did they go? Were they given to other X-Type buyers? If you know, please share.

My guess? I think the original iPods were black, and then were later changed to white, just like they did to Jesus.

Academy Piracy Case Solved

Academy Piracy Case Solved 01/25/2004 10:32 AM

FBI makes arrest in Oscar screener piracy: Kind of a sad story here. A "friend" of an elderly Academy member convinced him to send him the screeners he got every year. The videos were promptly pirated.

Carmine Caridi admitted in an affidavit released Thursday that he sent every so-called "screener" videotape he's received for the past three years to an acquaintance in the Chicago area, Russell W. Sprague.

Sprague, 51, was arrested at his home in Homewood, Ill., on Thursday after a search of his home turned up hundreds of films, many of which had been converted to DVD format and had the Academy's encryption code erased, along with an array of duplicating equipment, authorities said.

One thing we learned is that the Academy's tracing technology works. They tracked this all back to the source via a digital watermark on the movies which indicated who they had been sent to.

Stephen Jay Gould

When I Googled for necker cube yesterday, I found an image embedded in an amazing article entitled Boats and Deckchairs, written by Stephen Jay Gould and Rhonda Roland Shearer and published -- in December 1999 -- in the Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal. I used the image to illustrate yesterday's item, and linked to the article. Later in the day, I noticed the link had been shut down, so I swapped in a different image. But in fact, you can still find the article at http://to utfait.com/issues/issue_1/Articles/boat.html. It's a worthy entertainment that reminds me how diverse Gould's interests were, and how much he is missed. ...

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

Win XP Sp2 Problem

Win XP Sp2 Problem 08/27/2004 01:56 PM
Introduced in Service Pack 2, along side many other security features, Windows XP gained the "security center" (screenshot). A nice addition, and a central place for people to check their system's security status. So we thought.

eWeek and PC Magazine have published reports suggesting that the system can be spoofed very easily, allowing potentially nasty programs to perform un-wanted tasks. "Based on an anonymous tip, we looked into the WMI and the Windows Security Center's use of it, and found that it may not only be a security hole, but a crater in the wrong hands. Due to the nature of WMI, the WSC could potentially allow attackers to spoof the state of security on a user's system while accessing data, infecting the system, or turning the PC into a zombie for spam or other purposes."

The PC Magazine article explores the problem and how it can be exploited in good depth. It makes very depressing reading for users who had hoped that Microsoft had over-come this kind of problem with Service Pack 2. Microsoft responded to the article suggesting that they didn't think it was a problem at all; they added that you needed to be running as an administrator for it to be an issue; true, PC Mag agreed, but they also noted that XP Home runs (by default) as Admin, and most users of XP Pro make themselves administators to save hassle when installing and running programs.

Service Pack 2 is a necessary upgrade for all users, and everyone should install it. However, as the article and Neowin recommend, don't rely to heavily on these new security features. Ensure you update Firewall / AV / Windows often, and check the status of your protection often. Microsoft will never be able to be 100% safe / problem free, but they are trying, and should be commended for their effort.

and Tim Meehan Freud asked, "What does a user really want?" Ten-plus years into web development, we still don't know. One of the biggest problems in creating and delivering a site is how to decide, specify, and communicate exactly what we're building and why. Use cases can help answer these questions by providing a simple, fast means to decide and describe the purpose of your project. In this quick-reading article, Messieurs Carr and Meehan introduce use cases and their, uh, uses.

Security risks swell for Microsoft's Explorer: From the Gee, That's Obvious Department.

Using Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to surf the Internet has become a marked risk — even with the latest security patches installed.

That's the upshot of the discovery of yet another Internet Explorer security hole being exploited by intruders bent on swiping personal information from unwitting Internet users.

[...] "Internet Explorer's track record is such that the software just cannot be trusted right now," says Jeremiah Grossman, CEO of WhiteHat Security.

Again, I ask: if you're still using IE...why?
