PATRIOT Act Quietly Expanded







PATRIOT Act Quietly Expanded

PATRIOT Act Quietly Expanded 12/02/2003 12:56 AM

From the linked article: Congress approved a bill on Friday that expands the reach of the Patriot Act, reduces oversight of the FBI and intelligence agencies and, according to critics shifts the balance of power away from the legislature and the courts. A provision of an intelligence spending bill will expand the power of the FBI to subpoena business documents and transactions from a broader range of business -- everything from libraries to travel agencies to eBay -- without first seeking approval from a judge.

Here's an interesting security noodle from Yoz Grahame: some (meaningless) data is highly compressible using standard compression algorithms -- what would it do your computer if the payloads in automatically decompressed messages went from 7kb to 100gb?
Here's an example scenario: A mail arrives at your super-barbed-wire-protected mail gateway. The gzip-compressed attachment - only 7k big - is grabbed by the anti-virus scanner, looking for any suspicious signatures. It starts to decompress it and BANG - the resulting file, over 100 gigabytes, crashes the AV scanner and completely fills the hard drive partition in the process.

Fortunately, a good number of the AV scanners that AERAsec tested aren't too vulnerable, but some require patching. Similarly, sending a gzipped-HTML bomb to a browser will crash a fair few of them. Not so scary, then, but nifty in an admirably-nasty way.

Great headline from the Washington Post: "Patriot Act Suppresses News Of Challenge to Patriot Act." It has to do with the ACLU filing a lawsuit challenging something in the Patriot Act, but a different provision in the Patriot Act made it illegal for the ACLU to reveal the lawsuit. Neat! Link

Creative Quietly Launches New Zen


Creative Quietly Launches New Zen 03/22/2005 04:45 PM

creative_newzen.jpgCreative is apparently launching a new Zen, a full-size version of the Zen Micro, with a 20GB hard drive. Other than the size and capacity increase, it appears to be exactly the same. If you like the Zen Micro—and it's a pretty decent player, for sure—then you might be excited. The playback time is a little skimpy at 11 hours, but we'll manage.

There's no talk of price or color information, but I'd be surprised if Creative, after all the SKUs they've added to stores lately with the 4/5/6GB Zen Micros, would be reticent to add another dozen or so.

Google Quietly Introduces Book Searches


Google Quietly Introduces Book Searches 12/17/2003 08:22 PM
You just can't stop Google, it seems. Last week they were adding features like the ability to track your FedEx packages, and now they've launched the beta test of their book search capabilities. While, this is clearly something of a response to Amazon's famed search inside the book feature, the end result isn't quite there. While there had been rumors that Google was looking to impleme nt a similar service, what they just (very quietly) launched is much simpler. Basically, they've just stored book flap info, and mixed it in with the regular search results (though, as the article points out, it doesn't show up that high on most searches). However, if you find one, it links to a page within Google that includes the info from the inside flap of the book, a few simple facts about the book and links to buy the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million (they haven't even added in pricing info yet). While they don't have affiliate codes to make money off of those links, I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to add. The page does have their typical contextual Adwords advertising, though - increasing their inventory.

Intel Quietly Starts to Offer 64-bit
Pentium 4 Processors
08/04/2004 09:57 AM
Intel Corp., the world’s largest producer of computer chips, Monday started to offer its clients Intel Pentium 4 processor with 64-bit extension technology known as EM64T.

Intel Gets 64-bit Desktop Parts

As expected, the new 64-bit capable product line contains Pentium 4 at 3.20GHz, 3.40GHz and 3.60GHz priced at $278, $417 and $637 respectively. The costs of the Pentium 4 chips with Extended Memory 64 Technology will equals to processors with no such capability at the same core-clock. To distinguish between chips with and without EM64T, Intel names the 64-bit capable chips as 3.20F, 3.40F and 3.60F. Sources close to the company said that that the company would slash the pricing of its 3.40GHz and 3.60GHz chips to $278 and $417 on August 22, 2004.
