This site is under what appears to be a DOS attack from 70.85.45.132. Of course, it could just be a script kiddie trying to write his first email address harvester. I've notified my ISP, his ISP, and added a quick and dirty IP ban filter.

DoS Attack Nothing New

DoS Attack Nothing New 05/18/2004 01:14 PM
Some WLAN security experts say that the reaction to a type of denial of service (DoS) attack recently described by Queensland University researchers is severe: "This is new only in a small incremental sense," said Rich Mironov, vice president of marketing for AirMagnet. "This is one new flavor or variation of the DoS attack." The report from Australia has been widely described as a dramatic new security fault inherent in the 802.11b standard. Some reports have included recommendations to stop using 802.11b networks altogether. The attack appears to have no real effect on 802.11a or 802.11g-only networks which employ a different signal encoding method than 802.11b. But some say the attack isn't new at all. Richard Rushing, chief security officer for AirDefense, says this new report looks exactly like findings presented by University of San Diego researchers at a UseNix conference last August. The buzz around the recent report from Queensland just happens to be better publicized, he said. Neither Mironov nor Rushing expect the form of attacks to be particularly threatening. The attack can be performed with an off-the-shelf PC card but the card's firmware must be modified using a driver that may or may not become public. "It's probably going to come out, but it's not necessarily going to propagate," said Rushing. Even if it does get widely circulated, the attacks themselves will be limited to the APs in range of the altered PC card. "It's not like the whole network crashes. It's the one or two or three APs nearby that are crashing," Mironov said. AirMagnet's current product looks for 16 other distinct DoS attacks and will soon identify this type of attack. When its network sensors pick up on the attack, an alarm is sent to a network administrator. An IT manager can then use a handheld device to locate the source of the attack to shut it down. AirMagnet expects to be able to distribute an update that will identify this specific attack in about a week, Mironov said. Key to identifying such attacks are sensors that are separate from the APs, Rushing said. "If I'm using the AP to get my monitoring information I won't see anything. I'll just see that nothing is connecting to the AP," he said. But a separate sensor would see the signals sent from the hacker's device. Mironov says this new attack is not a reason to shy from...

Art Attack

Art Attack 06/09/2004 10:33 PM

On June 15, a federal grand jury will convene in upstate New York to consider possible bioterrorism charges against University at Buffalo art professor Steve Kurtz and the Critical Art Ensemble, an internationally-known hactivist collective. From the CAE Defense Fund Web site:

"Early morning of May 11, Steve Kurtz awoke to find his wife, Hope, dead of a cardiac arrest. Kurtz called 911. The police arrived and, after stumbling across test tubes and petri dishes Kurtz was using in a current artwork, called in the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Soon agents from the Task Force and FBI detained Kurtz, cordoned off the entire block around his house, and later impounded Kurtz's computers, manuscripts, books, equipment, and even his wife's body for further analysis. The Buffalo Health Department condemned the house as a health risk.

Only after the Commissioner of Public Health for New York State had tested samples from the home and announced there was no public safety threat was Kurtz able to return home and recover his wife's body. Yet the FBI would not release the impounded materials, which included artwork for an upcoming exhibition at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art."

This Washington Post article provides more background on the bizarre turn-of-events. Protests at the Court House in Buffalo and in other major cities are planned. Link

Roadless Act under attack.

Roadless Act under attack. 07/13/2004 01:46 PM
Roadless Act under attack. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman announced today the plan to lift a Clinton-era ban on building roads into wilderness areas on National Forest Service lands. Instead of keeping the ban at a federal level, the decision on wether or not to allow roads to be built would now be deffered to state governers.

I can't help but wonder, how is this in the public's interests at all? It is unreasonable to paint this as, "the biggest single giveaway to the timber industry in the history of the national forests", or does this really have value that the average American could benefit from?

University of Buffalo professor Steve Kurtz, a member of the Critical Art Ensemble, was charged yesterday with mail and wire fraud. As you may recall, Kurtz has been under investigation after he awoke to find his wife dead and called the police who discovered some biological materials related to Kurtz's latest art project. (See this post for background.) Robert Ferrell, chair of the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Public Health, was also charged for helping Kurtz obtain $256 worth of harmless bacteria. The absurdity continues. Link

DMCA under attack?

DMCA under attack? 06/29/2004 08:29 PM
A group calling themselves the Personal Technology Freedom Coalition is holding a press conference today to show their support for a repeal of a portion of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The current rules that the DMCA outline are quite forceful in stating that no one shall “sell or distribute any product that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure.” While this is frustrating to those of us that wish to make legitimate back-ups of software, music and games, the DMCA is quite clear that this can not be done. Help may be on the way though with the up coming review of a bill referred to as The Digital Media Consumers’ Rights Act. While allowing circumventing of many of the rules outlined by the DMCA, it will not allow for any tolerance for piracy however.

EFF Patent Attack

You may not, however, be aware of which patents are under attack.Patents identified by the EFF for challenge include:— a method for administering tests over the Internet— a system and method for playing games on a network— a method and apparatus for implementing a computer network/Internet telephone system (VoIP)— an audio and video receiving and transmission system— a system for generating, distributing, storing, and performing musical work files“What makes these patents among the worst of the bunch (is) the fact that their owners are threatening and filing suits against small businesses, individuals, and nonprofits, not to mention the threats to free expression and innovation that each of them pose,” the EFF said on its Web site.
