The Underground History of American Education
You aren’t compelled to loan your car to anyone who wants it, but you are compelled to surrender your school-age child to strangers who process children for a livelihood.... If I demanded you give up your television to an anonymous, itinerant repairman who needed work you’d think I was crazy; if I came with a policeman who forced you to pay that repairman even after he broke your set, you would be outraged. Why are you so docile when you give up your child to a government agent called a schoolteacher?

Here Come The Mac Hackers 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Every time a new virus or attack comes out, someone has to chime in with the comment "buy a Mac." Apparently that won't be good enough any more. Along with Apple's increased popularity comes the news that more hackers are targeting the Mac system for security holes. Yet again, the issue of security often has as much to do with how popular the system is as opposed to how insecure it may really be.

XML Hackers

XML Hackers 04/09/2004 05:30 PM

News .com reports on the need to secure XML and Web Services.

Many years ago, David Megginson talked about new kinds of security vulnerabilities created by XML, primarily through it's careless use of external resources such as DTDs and entities, at an XML conference.  At the same conference, first BoF meeting on SOAP was held.  Since then discussions over security surfaced occasionally among XML geeks but no one else really noticed until now.

The rise in the number of articles like this one is, IMHO, driven by security companies extending their reach into XML and web services market and not by increasing hacker activities against XML and web services.  Vulnerabilities are real, thanks to careless adoption of XML and web service technologies by mainstreamers and the general lack of awareness by XML developers, but hackers are not likely to come knocking at those vulnerabilities.

Why?  Because, if vulnerabilities in HTML-driven websites and web applications are antelopes and zebras, vulnerabilities in XML and web services are like monkeys and gophers.  Why would lions climb trees or dig into gopher holes when there are millions of more attractive preys?

Of course, some hackers will come knocking but developers can easily move higher up the tree by using hardened manageable XML processors and web service engines which will emerge out of the glut of feature-happy, vulnerability laden XML and web service tools accumulated over the past 7 years.  Education and awareness is what the market needs most of all, not expensive boxes or software peddled by security companies.

I will add XML and web services vulnerabilities to my stable of post topics as well as discussing the real dangers of web services arising out of increasing ad-hoc dependencies among web service providers.

Superbug and Hackers

Superbug and Hackers 04/21/2004 04:56 AM

Hackers are like germs.  You throw equivalents of antibiotics at them, they'll mutate into superbugs.  For example, I doubt phishers will be tempted to hack Google to take advantage of AdSense Voluntary XSS vulnerability because they are getting enough loot from stupid phishing attacks to keep them happy.  Once Microsoft Outlook, the main phishing delivery vehicle, is plugged and their gravytrain runs out, they will turn into superbugs to find other means of getting their phishing lures in front of the user's eyeballs.

Oops.  I am out of tea for now.

School for Hackers

School for Hackers 08/02/2004 03:55 PM
A presentation on how to be the first to exploit new flaws in Web server software was deemed "just as cool for white hats as for black hats" attending the Defcon 12 conference here over the weekend. The session offered new tools, as well as insight into the mindset of the so-called black hat, or malicious hacker, community, said one enthusiastic attendee, who works for a security consulting company that secures Web servers for the financial sector. The two presenters, German security consultants "FX" and Halvar Flake, spoke about taking advantage of new-found holes, known as zero-day Web-based vulnerability exploitation.

Hacking Advice

Finding vulnerabilities to exploit is real work, the presenters said. The large, packed crowd listened to them talk about "making script kiddies into real hackers," referring to novice hacker wannabes who simply use other hackers' tools to deface Web sites. The pair outlined the procedural steps of drilling down and finding Web server weaknesses--effectively offering tips to those who want to do so, but also providing knowledgeable warning to those who guard against such action.

As the security concerns mount, many people out there are likely unaware of one threat that could prove to be one of the most dangerous. This threat of ‘bot attacks’ is something that not only affects some users, but the Internet as a whole since it can slow things down so badly….
