We've seen a lot of stories recently about overhyped wireless "security holes" or "exploits" for both WiFi systems and mobile phones. In almost every case, the story would get a lot of press, but the actual risk was extremely low. The discoveries (and subsequent publications) were mostly designed to get attention for some random security researcher who discovered the supposed problem. Well, now that the obvious security attacks are out of the way, security researchers need to get a bit more creative. They can no longer just pick on a single technology (Bluetooth? WiFi?) and find a security hole. Now, they need to get with the converged times and go for a combined attack. That's about the only explanation I can come up with for the announcement of this new "vulnerability" that makes use of Bluetooth, WiFi and SMS all in one shot. The article doesn't do a great job of explaining the attack, but apparently, it works by having someone "bluejack" one of the few phones that are vulnerable to bluejacking (and which haven't been patched), using that connection to send an SMS to an "anonymous prepaid phone" owned by the attacker. They can then use this to determine if (just maybe) the vulnerable phone is a T-Mobile customer. If it is, they then hijack the vulnerable phone again, and send an SMS to T-Mobile to get login info for hotspots (since T-Mobile now lets users get hotspot login info via SMS). If the user is not a T-Mobile customer, there are other options, but they're equally convoluted (sometimes involving another associate with another mobile phone sitting at a hotspot). The group that put out the warning admits there's no evidence that this has been done, and, honestly, it really seems like a security hack for show more than anything else. Of course, now the bar has been set. Who will top it and give us the useless, unlikely security hack that involves four different wireless technologies?

http://www.super-sc ience-fair-projects.com/

Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Direct Hacking Down; Virus Problems,
Wireless Network Misuse Up 08/05/2004 12:12 PM
The latest study on computer crime and security shows that, for the first time in a while, direct attacks on corporate information systems are on the decline -- from both inside and outside the company. In fact, it appears there was a significant decline in insider's attacking corporate systems. Of course, that's because they're all abusing the WiFi. It's not at all clear how an insider in the company is likely to be "abusing" a wireless network set up by the company, but the report suggests it's an "emerging threat." Meanwhile, the biggest issue for most companies remains virus attacks and the fact that whatever anti-virus software they're using doesn't seem to work. At all. Either that, or they can't convince their employees not to click on random attachments. Well, in that case, at least we know it's the executives who are screwing up.

Jason Kottke was just on G4's Attack of the Show, and thanks to my hacked TiVo, it's available as a 85Mb MPEG2 torrent.

Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

Last week we posted a story written by my colleague David Graham titled Proven: Windows is more secure than Linux. It was one of the better-read pieces on the site this week. Four days after the article was posted, David did a Google search and found more than half a dozen sites had linked to the piece -- flattering. But at least three sites posted all or a substantial portion of the piece on their own sites -- and that's a problem.

College To Do Away With Fair Use

College To Do Away With Fair Use 12/17/2003 09:34 PM
The latest silliness from our college campuses is this bit of news from Ithaca College, where they're planning to tell professors that fair use no longer exists when it comes to course packs (the photocopied excerpts from various sources that many professors use to give students short excerpts from a variety of sources). While most such course packs do involve some approved material, much of it is often used on a fair-use basis - but university administrators are afraid of getting sued. Thus, they're going to tell professors that they need to license every last bit of content they use. This means that (a) professors will ditch a lot of materials, because they don't have time to get approval from everyone or because the publisher wants too much money to include a single paragraph and (b) the course packs will be much more expensive with less useful stuff for students. In some cases, professors will simply put the materials on library loan, where students will go and photocopy it anyway - basically adding an "annoyance" factor to the process. It's a great lesson we're teaching the students of today when they don't get to read certain materials because it's just too damn expensive.

Cory Doctorow: The entertainment companies often tell us that "fair use isn't a right, it's a defense." It's techincally true, but legally disingenous. As my cow-orker Fred Von Lohmann noted today in a mailing list post, "I've heard Peter Jaszi say on several occasions (and more eloquently), First Amendment is like fair use, technically invoked as a defense in court, but that doesn't stop us from talking about our *right* to free speech."

I'm giving a couple of talks in Singapore in December and one of my kind hosts has sent me a form on which I'm to list every copyrighted and non-copyrighted source I use in the handouts, along with this explanation of what constitutes fair use in Singapore. I'd say that this is what we have to worry about our copyright law doing to the free expression of ideas, but I'm afraid you're going to tell me that this is in fact where our copyright law already is. Sigh....
