Leveraging RSS at Disney ETCON talk


Leveraging RSS at Disney ETCON talk 02/10/2004 06:36 PM
Here're my running notes from Le veraging RSS at Disney: from Collaboration to Massive Content Delivery at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.
Modern computers can handle large files, video, media, etc.

Want to provide experiences above the effective bitrate of our users, and bits are expensive to ship.

Example: Added a high-quality video clip to the front page of ESPN.com.

Came to think about the enclosure tag in RSS -- the idea of asynchronously d/ling content behind the scenes. You can download the experience prior to hitting the page.

Built a client-side technology -- espn.com, disney.com, etc -- an RSS aggregator that d/ls and pre-caches video on the machine, and communicates with the mothership to tell them who's got what in the cache.

We wanted 500k users in 1 year -- in three weeks we hit a million. Over 2 million now. Sustainign 2GB of bandwidth, TBs/day.

06/23/2004 03:08 AM
It’s a myth that the information technology (IT) requirements of emerging and midsize businesses are simpler than those of large enterprises. Virtually every day, we interact with the technology and business leaders of midsize companies whose IT demands not only rival the requirements of much larger companies, but in many cases exceed them.Fortunately, emerging and midsize businesses can resolve the dilemma of updating their outmoded IT infrastructure without massive one-time investments in technology. New technologies, such as Microsoft® .NET, enable companies to leverage previous investments in technology while step-by-step integrating their business systems to enable an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible solution to driving and managing growth.

Instant authentication against an

Instant authentication against an
existing web application
07/14/2004 07:03 PM

I was thinking today about the problem of querying an existing authentication database from a new application - exactly the kind of thing web services are useful for. Then I realised that any web application protected by HTTP Basic authentication already provides a standard API against which queries can be run. Here's the Python code to do exactly that:


def auth_against_url(url, username, password):
    import urllib2, base64
    request = urllib2.Request(url)
    b64 = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password))[:-1]
    request.add_header('Authorization', 'Basic %s' % b64)
    try:
        urllib2.urlopen(request)
    except urllib2.HTTPError:
        return False
    return True

To check a username and password against an existing application's user database, just call the above function with the URL of a page within the existing application as the first argument. The function returns True if the username and password are valid, and False otherwise. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

A nice side effect of using Python's standard library modules is that they transparently support HTTPS, so authentication can take place over an encrypted channel provided the target application supports it.

Define Spyware Or Just Enforce Existing
Laws?
09/13/2004 09:56 PM
The question over exactly how spyware should be defined isn't exactly new. However, Mark Rasch's latest column at SecurityFocus picks apart common spyware definitions to make you wonder if it's useful at all to define what spyware is. Instead, he suggests (as have others before< /a>) that the real issue isn't in defining and outlawing spyware, but simply enforcing existing laws that already make most of the worst offenders illegal by way of laws against fraud. Of course, that won't happen, because politicians want to make sure they're seen as doing something to make their constituents' lives better -- and a law against spyware (just like the mostly useless law against spam before it) is good for publicity, even if it does little to solve any real problems.

09/24/2004 03:29 AM
TV content aggregation is not a business for network operators, who will do better to form partnerships with satellite and cable operators to sell TV over broadband. Gross margins on TV can be as low as 20% but operators need TV services to compete with triple-play competitors. Fixed broadband (BB) operators providing TV reduce the net present value (NPV) of their business model over the first five years, according to Analysys calculations for this report. Gambling games are the most profitable entertainment option for network operators. [PRWEB Sep 24, 2004]

Microsoft's Service Pack 2 Says Existing
Hotspot Logins Insecure


Microsoft's Service Pack 2 Says Existing
Hotspot Logins Insecure
08/06/2004 08:26 PM
Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2 will be available soon, but they've got a little tweaking to do on their technical documentation: This page explains to developers how Wireless Provisioning Service (WPS) works. Never mind the fact that Service Set Identifier (SSID) is described as the Secure Set Identifier. More importantly, they overstate the current risk level for gateway-page logins at hotspots, a problem that WPS bypasses (with all Microsoft server and client components): The current connection model for WISP signup and use is not secured. Most Wi-Fi hotspots are configured for open authentication and without data encryption. Users are generally required to launch a Web browser to initially sign up to the WISP service and for subsequent logins. WSP mitigates this threat by adding encryption and authentication to the communications between the client and the wireless network. No, Mr. Gates, no, no, no. All authentication gateway pages I've visited are SSL-based, meaning that encryption (but not authentication) is already in the transaction. I don't know where they got the most from. The SSL certificate has to be signed by an approved certificate authority, or a client's Web server would balk, and I haven't seen that kind of self-signed certificate problem that would allow man-in-the-middle attacks. (That is, if you were expecting to be warned about a self-signed certificate, then you might accept even a fake AP's certificate. But if you weren't expecting it, you probably wouldn't accept it.) Browser based deployment is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, for example, by a malicious front-end server using a rogue access point. Users queried by this access point might unknowingly be giving away personal identification and credit card information. By eliminating the need for a Web login WSP reduces the vulnerability of WISP users to this type of attack. This is definitely one of the coolest authentication elements of WPS. The transaction between XP SP2's WPS client and a WPS-equipped hotspot involves quite a lot of quasi-out-of-band confirmation. For instance, an SSL tunnel that's opened in one stage of the authentication is signed by a certificate authority already authorized in the WPS client. (So what's good for the goose should be good for the gander, above, in terms of Microsoft's characterization of hotspot authentication weakness currently.) Without additional hotspot client software users can not easily detect hotspots and do not have a unified mechanism to sign up to them. It is not easy...

At that conference, Computer Associates announced its eTrust Identity and Access Management (IAM) Toolkit. While it's aimed at commercial developers, in-house programmers might benefit more from this release.
