A Visual History Of Spam And Viruses 09/17/2004 08:13 PM
A Microsoft employee with some extra time and plenty of spam on his hands has decided to graph out all the spam and viruses he's received since 1997. He's only graphing out the spam that makes it through the corporate spam filter, but it still shows just how much spam has grown over the years. The graph shows spam against the size of the messages, but actually suggests that the Microsoft spam filter has gotten better recently.

Visual Illusions

Visual Illusions 02/12/2004 08:50 PM

This post is a follow up to the Visual Spoofing post in which I demonstrated a serious visual vulnerability of browsers and alluded to a deeper problem.

Most of the readers who saw the demo thought of it as a hole in the browser code.  Yes, there is a hole in the browser, one that allows scripts to hide and replace key UI components such as the toolbar used to display URL of the page and the statusbar used to display the golden lock.  But there also a hole in our brain, one that people like Diego Doval zeroed in on right away.

You see, the computer screen you are seeing this post with is actually showing just a rectangular array of pixels.  There are no such thing as windows or buttons.  Instead, there are pixel patterns we call windows or buttons.  It is us, the users, who associate the idea of windows and buttons to those patterns of pixels.

From this perspective, a browser window is a rectangular array of pixels under full control of someone else, full control meaning any pattern of pixels can be displayed including those 'sacred' patterns we sees as 'windows' or 'buttons'.  The illusion of depth, used commonly to enforce the concept of overlapping windows, can also be duplicated.

Even if one can't hide the real toolbar and statusbar, clever visual illusions will trick sufficient number of people to make the approach lucrative for crooks.  If you think you can't be fooled, you should visit a magician near you.

The bottom line is that the when you open a browser window, you are also opening a window of vulnerability, a window through which bad guys can trick you into exposing critical secrets such as passwords.  Now expand that scary thought to include software you willingly installed onto your system and you will find yourself hesitating the next time you reach for the power button.

As I mentioned before, I will be discussion a solution to this problem in a post titled 'Secure UI'.  The solution won't close the window, but I believe it shrinks the window size down to, hopefully, an acceptable level.

Visual Spoofing

Visual Spoofing 02/11/2004 09:35 AM

While Microsoft recently patched a URL-based spoofing vulnerability, I just realized that a whole new class of spoofing exists for browsers: Visual Spoofing.  I have not yet seen any evidence of this type of spoofing actually being done, but I was able to create a demo within a few minutes.

Here is the demo of visual spoofing for IE6 I put together.  Note that the vulnerability is not unique to IE.

The problem with visual spoofing is that it is difficult to fix with a simple patch.  Yes there are ways to fix the problem partially but not completely because one can still create a page that looks like part of desktop by having images of overlapping windows to distract the clueless user who tend to keep many windows open.

I sure hope I don't get blamed for destroying e-commerce single-handedly with this post.  After all, the vulnerability was there in plain sight for everyone to see all this time.

It's interesting that Microsoft AntiSpyware (in beta currently) is written in Visual Basic 6. Polished consumer-oriented GUI like that is difficult to code in C++ because of all the detailing work that has to be done. Since .NET still hasn't reached primetime as a client platform, VB6 makes a lot of sense.
