Large Hack Attack Over the Weekend







Large Hack Attack Over the Weekend

Large Hack Attack Over the Weekend 03/17/2005 03:08 AM

Internet Week says that the Internet Storm Center tracked a large-scaled attack over the weekend. It attacked hosting servers and turned them into distributors of the malicious code.

"It seems that the attack used both direct and indirect means to infect users, said the ISC. In some cases, a script was appended to all home pages of the sites hosted on the compromised servers; the script redirected visitors of those pages to a malicious site (which was offline as of mid-morning Monday), which actually distributed the malicious code. But ICS also found some evidence that a DNS cache poisoning attack was part of the program. "We are not quite sure yet how this is being done, as the files that we've received so far do not seem to contain DNS/DHCP poisoning code."

Been having a stag party. Not mine, though, contrary to some rumors. Pretty much traditional stuff, except that a) I have not slept since Friday (39 hours up straight I think - I opted for quality time with Outi over sleep, I think I'm going for my record here), and 2) the weather has been tossing some surprises our way. Suffice to say that we have been very wet.

Sleep now.

Though, knowing myself, I'll probably end up coding some sorely missed JSPWiki stuff regardless of the weather; sitting in a dark room and becoming generally obsessed with finally releasing 2.2 :-)

IE Weekend


IE Weekend 04/19/2004 05:50 AM

I didn't do anything except work this weekend on an IE toolbar for a client.  Much of the time was spent on pushing pixels around to try this look and that effect.  Still, it's not state of art GUI because Win32 alphablending functions are not supported on all the platforms.  I won't be doing much animation either.  Just no time and no room.

Thankfully, the visuals are mostly done and I can move on to messing with IE's COM objects and events.  Lots of joy there (eyeroll).  I would rather design new technologies and lead special teams on hot projects but being a consultant means having to do what clients ask for.  I sure hope rest of you had a better weekend than me.

Orchestrated by Dorkbot founder Douglas Repetto, Mark Tribe of Rhizome.org, and Hunter College film/media professor Mary Flanagan , the free ArtBots show will feature 20 artists and groups from seven countries (including Leonel Moura's ink pen-wielding ArtSBot, left).
artsbot_web"The show celebrates the strange and wonderful collision of shifty artists, disgraced engineers, high/low/no tech hackers, rogue scientists, beauty school dropouts, backyard pyros, and industrial espionage that has come to define the emerging field of robotic art. Participants include robots that sketch, carve, float, wiggle, hum, ring, grow, wander, and sing, as well a number of works the form and function of which are not yet well understood"

As a result, I have a particular fondness for the popular music of the 80s--especially the one-hit wonders that seemed to make up a fair amount of the Billboard charts. One of the few local radio stations that I can tolerate (there are exactly four) has been playing only 80s music this weekend, calling it...

Blogging and iFrames or Is This Content
Theft?
02/07/2003 09:40 AM
Blogging and iFrames or Is This Content Theft? Well this is a new thing I haven't seen before -- using an iFrame to pull an entire entry into the display context of someone else's blog. And I don't mean that they are pulling the content out of the RSS so it at least looks right -- they are grabbing the content right from the permalink by sucking in the entire HTML, template, look and feel and all. It is very, very, odd. Example 1. Example 2. When I mentioned this to someone via IM, his comment was "Someone's a little obsessed with keeping people on his site" and I'd add "Or they think this will help their google ranking a lot". This feels like bad form to me and seems close to content theft in the same way that sites that once upon a time framed over existing content and showed their own banner ads where eventually thought to be content theft. Comments? Thoughts? Is this a good thing to do or just plain wrong?

Going JavaScript-less?


Going JavaScript-less? 02/18/2004 02:19 AM

How many people actually shut off JavaScript in their browsers? In the Web development world, you're constantly advised not to depend on JavaScript because "[insert double-digit percentage here] of Web surfers shut off JavaScript."

I have never known someone who shut off JavaScript. I have used a lot of computers in my life — many not my own — and never in one case have I noticed that JavaScript was intentionally disabled. I have never had anyone I know tell me that they shut off JavaScript to solve a problem. I have never even been remotely tempted to do this myself.

Is there anyone out there who has actually shut off JavaScript in their browser? Can you tell us why?

Javascript from Python


Javascript from Python 12/29/2003 06:51 PM

In a way I'm disappointed to see python-sp idermonkey released. It's a Python wrapper around the Mozilla project's SpiderMonkey Javascript engine which allows Python scripts to execute Javascript code in a rock-solid, battle-tested embedded interpreter.

Why the disappointment? Because just 5 days ago I decided that a Python wrapper for SpiderMonkey would be the ideal project for me to finally attempt to do something productive with C. John J. Lee evidently beat me to it. I can't complain though, as I was estimating a good six months to figure out how to get it all working.

Pettiness aside, this looks like a really valuable project. In addition to being critical for such things as web based unit testing (John's DOMForm does exactly that) it may also provide a useful "sandbox" protected interpreted scripting language for Python projects. Python's own rexec module is meant to provide a safe sandbox for executing potentially hostile code but has been disabled due to potential vulnerabilities. The SeaMonkey Javascript interpreter is tried and tested in this capacity, at least in its incarnation within the Mozilla family of web browsers.
