A List Apart: Smarter Image Hotlinking
Prevention
07/21/2004 08:00 AMIf you run a site heavy on images (or even just a popular site that
people might grab the images from), you're all too familiar with the
practice of "hotlinking" - the linking to of your images from other
sites. Well, if you think there's not much you can do about it -
you're wrong, and
this new
article from A List Apart proves it.

Prevention – Bah! Humbug!
Prevention – Bah! Humbug!
12/19/2004 03:17 PMPrevention gets short-changed when a health care system is under
strain according to members of The Science Advisory Board. In a recent
Instant Poll sponsored by the Board, 50% of the 1,100+ respondents
believe that when medical care is constrained by limited resources,
disease prevention and health promotion efforts suffer. An additional
25% of those polled think that adequate treatments and therapies are
in jeopardy if funding is at risk. In contrast, participants believe
that follow-up services and diagnosis receive the most attention
regardless of resource limitations. [PRWEB Dec 2, 2004]

Smarter Than Me
Smarter Than Me
12/29/2003 11:44 PMSometimes I'm accused of being "smart," which bothers me since I don't
know what it means. It's a comparative label: if this one is smart,
then others are equally smart, smarter, or less smart. Yet all
generalizations are false, all comparisons fail. There's no way to
measure these things, not really. It's a bogus idea.
That's not exactly right. I quickly identify folks smarter than me,
but it's not empirical, just a cocktail party chat I have with myself.
Probably...

Tinderbox Keeps Getting Smarter
Tinderbox Keeps Getting Smarter

Tinderbox Keeps Getting
Smarter -- Eastgate Systems' Tinderbox has been upgraded to
version 2.4. Tinderbox (see my review in TidBITS-651) is a superb way to create heavily hyperlinked text; text snippets
are stored in a hierarchical structure and can be exported as Web
pages. I used Tinderbox to create the online help for the Perl editor
Affrus, which blogger John Gruber has called "the finest software
documentation," in part because it is "cross-linked out the
ying-yang." Tinderbox 2.4 makes outlines smarter by permitting
any entry to have a rule for updating itself periodically; for
example, if you're using Tinderbox to maintain a to-do list, a parent
item (representing a category or group of tasks) might have a rule
that its "completed" attribute should be true if and only if
the "completed" attribute of all its children (the actual
tasks) is true. There are also many small bug fixes and aesthetic
tweaks, and Tinderbox's Web-page export continues to evolve strongly.
Tinderbox runs in both the classic Mac OS (Mac OS 9.2 recommended) and
Mac OS X 10.0 and later. Tinderbox costs $165, plus $70 annually for
free updates. A demo version is available for download. [MAN]

spambots get smarter
spambots get smarter
01/06/2004 01:03 PMSince today started as a "spam kind of day"...
Something I noticed over the last few weeks is that I've started to
receive spam that is way more targeted than before. In what sense?
Well, let's say this: I'm getting spam that not only knows my full
name, but also my address. Okay, not my current address, but
I've already gotten spam that explictly mentions both my New York
address (from 5+ years ago) and my SF Bay address (from 2+ years ago).
This is bad, not only they know my email address, but they also know
where I live(d)! Yes, we know that with time and money you can get a
lot of information on anyone, but this has to be done automatically
and massively, or otherwise it wouldn't be a practical option for
spammers.
Clearly, one way this could happen is if someone (say, buy.com) has
been selling their customer information. Since I usually take care of
buying online only when my privacy is more or less protected, this is
unlikely, though certainly possible.
There's a more likely way in which this connection was made:
Google.
Google not only knows the web, it also knows other information...
like phone numbers (at least in the US). Jon mentioned this some time ago.
A spambot to get "connected information" would work like this. Say
you write an automated script to go through phone numbers on Google.
Then the script takes the address data and the person's name, and then
googles the person's name. It takes the first few results (or
maybe only the first one) and scans the resulting pages to match an
email's name to the person's name. Sure, this won't be 100% correct,
but spammers don't care about that. And Google's reach makes it
reasonable to think that you'd have a reasonably high hit rate. You
could even write a program that uses the GoogleAPI for it.
Sure, we could say, as Scott McNealy does, that "you're privacy is
gone, get over it". Even if you don't agree with that statement (and I
don't, at least I want to resist it!), this is nevertheless
disturbing. And the question that follows is: does Google have any
responsibility for this? They'd probably say that they're providing a
service by integrating yellow pages information, which would be true.
I'm not picking on Google, rather Google is the example here
because of its reach and pervasiveness, but I'm sure that similar
things can be done with other search engines and if not it won't be
long before you can. Can we fix this at all? If so, how?
Since this is the tip of the iceberg, my main thought at the moment
is that I'm a character from Lost in Space and all I hear is
"Danger Will Robinson! Danger!".
Comment Spam Prevention Goes Nuclear
Comment Spam Prevention Goes Nuclear
12/28/2004 01:10 PMElliot Back has come up with the best anti-comment-spam measure I've heard in quite a
while.
Taking Matt's stopgap spam solution, which sends precomputed
hashes to be echoed back by the user-agent's form, I've added dynamic
generation of the md5 hash. Rather than write it to a hidden field, we
wait until the form is submitted to compute the hash. This prevents
spammers from automatically scraping the form, because anyone wanting
to submit a comment must execute the javascript md5.
Here, as I understand it, is the method:
- Before the form is generated, the server creates a short MD5 hash
and includes it in the comment form. It also includes an MD5 hash
javascript function in the page.
- When the user submits the comment form, the original MD5 hash is
re-hashed by the browser using the js function, resulting in
a new hash. The new hash is included in the post to the server.
- The server makes sure that the new hash is a proper result of
hashing the original hash.
This ensures that the browser end must have executed the javascript
code. Pretty slick. Of course, if everyone uses it, comment spam tools
will be quickly rewritten to be able to handle MD5 hashing, but until
then we could enjoy a little spam-free blogging. Well done.
