Anti-Phishing Working Group Meeting
Anti-Phishing Working Group Meeting
04/09/2004 05:30 PM
I was out all day yesterday to attend the Anti-Phishing
Working Group meeting at Wells Fargo World HQ in San
Francisco. About one
hundred people from wide assortment of backgrounds were there, some
from law enforcement
agencies like the Secret Service and FBI, lawyers, prosecutors,
financial services,
e-tailers, solutions vendors, and security experts. APWG did
an impressive job
of pulling them altogether to focus on the phishing epidemic which
continues to grow.
While everyone wanted to pool resources to combat phishing, I
sensed a common desire
to protect details about ongoing APWG activities from the public
for various reasons.
Since I am not sure what APWG's policy is about blogging, I will
limit this post to
my thoughts and observations.
Toolbars
Warm receptions received by Account
Guard feature of eBay
Toolbar and Dan Boneh's SpoofGuard means
more toolbars in the near future. I predict we'll see about
ten security-related
toolbars released before this year is over. Since highly
integrated client-side
software like browser toolbars are one of my specialties, all this
is good news for
me but I couldn't help worrying about the oncoming glut of
toolbars, sidebars, and
deskbars causing confusion among users.
Microsoft
Microsoft needs to do more to combat phishing. Actually, they
need to do 'less'
by disabling or limiting use of hyperlinks and javascript in
Outlook and Hotmail.
Since phishing is causing real financial damages to companies and
individuals, Microsoft
created an arguably very large liability exposure by introducing
DHTML e-mail in Outlook.
My opinion is that hyperlinks in e-mail contents should require the
user to approve
each navigation after viewing a dialog that clearly indicate the
link destination.
This constraint can be eased depending on the age of the hyperlinks
because destination
phishing websites are more likely to be takendown or abandoned over
time. I
also think javascript should be disabled completely in e-mail
contents to protect
against new breed of javascript obfuscated webpages.
Hunters vs. Butchers
Law enforcement agencies are IMHO still in the hunter mode, meaning
hackers they find
and prosecute are more or less trophies for assuring the
public. Seen as services,
they are open to denial of service attacks by organized hackers
arming script-kiddies
to overload or slowdown cybercops. They need to think about
ways to shift-gear
from hunter to butchers mode now, if not just against
phishers, then for
homeland security.
Takedown.com
Most difficult part of fighting against phishing is taking down
phishing websites.
Differences and confusino in law and legal jurisdictions,
cross-language communication
issues, availability, authority verification problems, and other
issues make taking
down a fraud site a skill or an art of social networking,
ingenuity, and patience
which most companies do not have.
Solutions suggested so far like contacts and standards are useless
IMHO. A more
effective solution is to encourage entrepreneurs to startup
federated or franchised
businesses to offer takedown services around globe and around
the clock with the
local touch. Having middlemen like them solves most of
the issues mentioned
above.
Spoofback
Considering the difficulty with takedown, another options is to
'spoof back' by posting
phony information to the phishing websites in order to spoil the
goods by diluting
it with bad info. Instead of receiving 3,000 good responses,
phishers will receive
300,000 responses most of which will be bad. Another
variation is to post user
info leading to honeypots in order to phish the phishers. I
am not sure about
the legal issues, but hackback risk is no worse than the takedown
IMHO.
APWG Future Threat Models SIG
I have volunteered to participate in the Future Threat Models SIG
at APWG because
I am both highly creative and insanely paranoid which means I can
see blindspots where
none exists. :-) I probably won't be posting about
the activities
there but I will post my thoughts and publicize imminent threats
like the XSS
Network threat I posted about before.

asked:
Apparently, Apple's new Dashboard thingummies are
HTML/CSS/Javascript pages (ie WebKit) in little floaty windows,
perfect for tiny Flash/SVG apps and web-updated displays.
But how do you control iTunes from one of those -- open up internal
application controls to the internet?
And Mar
c Canter replied:
Without being able to "API Into" a system, these little
HTML pages are nothing more than just - well HTML pages.
But just imagine if we had open APIs to inter-connect modules
together!
We spend most of our web time in the browser, and yet the browser
is not an object on the web. Is it possible to change that, or will
there always be a line that the web can't cross? How is an
application that handles web objects different from a web object? Why
can't my web app generate M3U files to control your client app to
render M3U files?
This is the tragedy of Flash: Flash objects are on the web, but not
the Flash player, so Flash has never become a building
block.
Marc enthusiastically agress!Exactly - and that's
where the Laszlo objects come in. It's an XML language specifically
designed to inter-connect to modular back-end processes. Laszlo is
the missing link for front-end modularity.

We recently wrapped up version 2.0 of the Laszlo Presentation
Server. In celebration of the new components, I opened a couple of Cafe
Press stores to special-order some custom Laszlo schwag. It
was a fun excuse to check out Cafe Press. Its an amazing business
where you can create your own T-shirts, mugs or whatever with custom
graphics. The site is very easy to use and I highly recommend it.
So... the stores are open and mugs are sold at cost. I'm posting
links here for Laszlovians, Laszlo developers and other fans.

o preview release.
Laszlo preview release
A preview release of Laszlo Presentation Server version 2.0 is now
available. Woo hoo!
- New Component Framework: All the components you expect in a
web app plus a few more. This framework is fully laszlo-rrific -- with
the details you know and love from an OS GUI with all the cinematic
user experience you've come to expect from a Laszlo app. The
components support simple declaration, data binding, full scripting
APIs, and keyboard navigation -- whew!
- KRANK Optimizer: Every web engineer worries about
performance. Here's something for the Laszlo bag o' tricks. This new
"instant-on" technology allows developers to optimize an application
so that it will start immediately once downloaded.
- Live examples in the Documentation: I use this feature all
the time. With a single click you can modify and recompile
examples.
- Better and cooler data binding: if you liked data binding
and replication from v1, you're gonna love the new $path
expression.
The components were my main gig on this release, jamming with Bret
Simister, Peter Andrea, and the gang. I think this may be the first
component set created entirely in declarative XML. The complete source
code for the components is included with the developer edition. You
can check out a component example which you
change the style to see the components in different colors. The
components use a new "Ultra Pixel" font created especially for Laszlo
by Truth
in Design.

Anyway this 2.0 rocks and - gee - that copycat stuff from
Macromedia ain't even in beta yet. Smart developers will put

What does an online audioblogging player really look
like?
Yesterda
y I wrote about online audio metaphors. Today I ask What
does an online audioblogging player really look like?. What
I'm really talking about here is the MP3 player's GUI that navigates
the user to the online produced audio content.
No it doesn't look like anything in the current crop of IPods
or MP3 players (not that they couldn't be made to adapt - in reality
these devices or really just a bunch of software code). Current
MP3 players use the metaphors from the old analog offline world (see
yesterday's post - Online
audio metaphors defined). At the time of
the development of the first generation of digital mp3 players
(the RIO - I own and still have the original), the online audio
producing world was silent, so the design of these first
generation mp3 players was obviously tied to the offline audio
producing world way of thinking. Audio file players that
followed just continued this process, tapping into the legacy and
expanding on what was created by the pioneers. The current
players in the field need to recognize that times are changing,
audio is beginning to be produced in the online world
also, which makes it time to rethink how the audio players relate
to what is completely happening with audio production, online and
offline.
As I look at the current version of SoundBlox,
I see some of the same legacy analog design thinking
(Album, artist and tracks). Remember that SoundBlox is
really just software so it can be changed and improved. How
do we make/drive the next generation of SoundBlox
features? We either need someone to learn Lazlo or we need to
find a Lazlo
developer or SoundBlox developer to customize SoundBlox to
add the features it needs to support the online audio
producers, currently the audiobloggers (website/weblog,
webmaster/audioblogger and files/audiomessage).
The nice thing I found out about Soundblox is that it's code is freely available
under the same terms of the Apache Open Source license, so it can
used as a starting point or reference which will save a lot of
time for someone who wants to build a new version and add to
it the emerging online audio metaphors.
Any ideas on what's the best way to get these online
metaphors/features into SoundBlox?

Schofield has an interview with some Microsoft guy of their new 'Media
Browser'. I assume it's built in Avalon and XAML.
It does lots of coolio things like:
- show me these specific pictures
- show me their annotations
- image zooms up on rollover
- images sort themselves in front of your eyes
- all the images with THIS keyword get highlighted
- display a 'Facewall' of images
- images line up 3D
- drill into any stack of images - have it reshuffle itself
- resort, attach attributes, resort again
- etc.
Guess what? You can do that all in Laszlo right now. Most of the
licks the guy showed are already in existing Laszlo apps.
So if you want to get nex-generation Microsoft functionality today
- go get Laszlo.
:-)
Greg Elin and Adam Siefer should love this stuff.
And Flickr should include it. Too bad Flickr is written in Flash. They could
do these exact licks in Laszlo in minutes....
But Ben Ceverney's platform is still pretty coolio. Flickr
