The Back Door

The Back Door 08/20/2004 10:44 AM
There are only two ways into the technology market, the front door and the back door. Some examples that came in through the front door: ERP, mainframes, and Lotus Notes. Back-door arrivals: personal computers, Unix, and Dynamic Languages (Perl, Python, and so on). You can build a business both ways. And, now that I’ve been here at Sun for almost six months, I wonder: Which door should we be knocking on?...

NetGear's Back Door 06/04/2004 09:11 AM
A BugTraq report claims that certain WG602 units from NetGear have an unavoidable backdoor password for administration: A few days ago, we linked to news that Linksys's WRT54G had certain firmware releases that left remote administration turned on. Now a report says that it's likely that a username and password that's available on the remote and local network interfaces by default (and which apparently can't be turned off) bedevils the NetGear WG602 in at least one firmware release.

Back-door your Roomba

Back-door your Roomba 05/07/2004 03:35 AM
PT sez, "This week's "how to" article from Engadget shows how to put the Roomba Robot Vacuum in hardware check mode. This is a useful mode for Roomba hackers (and anyone else) to test the functions of the unit as well as see how the unit works, test the 'virtual walls,' clean specific parts and have some fun."

Pressing the L button for the 5th time (you'll hear 5 beeps) will put the Roomba in "bulldozer" mode, in other words it'll just roll forward no matter what, the sensors and bumpers and picking it up will not stop it. Be careful, don't let the Roomba damage you or itself.

For the past several weeks, publishers were able to hide the "Ads by Google" link by using a light colored border. This would make the ads appear like a part of the site itself, rather than ads provided by Google, particularly when the border and background matched the website's page color. Many reported a much higher CTR when doing this.

Windows Back Door? Who's guarding the
guards? That would be us 02/13/2004 09:16 AM
The essay "Open Source Is Fertile Ground for Foul Play" suggests three areas where security might be a concern for governments when considering open source software. However, all three arguments are flawed "straw men" when subjected to rational analysis. Indeed, some of the author's own arguments demonstrate the strengths of open source when weighed against any closed source alternative. First, the author suggests that security breaches could be inserted into open source software by an insider, perhaps hidden in code submitted as a fix or an extension. While there is a remote possibility of this occurring (this is conceded as "not terribly likely," even by the author), there is a far greater possibility of this occurring when patching closed source software.

Linux Kernel "Back Door" Attempted

Linux Kernel "Back Door" Attempted 11/06/2003 02:48 PM
KernelTrap has a very interesting article about a recent attempt to sneak a "back door" into the Linux 2.6 kernel. Evidently someone managed to break into the CVS server that mirrors the kernel source tree and add a small patch allowing one to locally obtain "root" super-user access. Fortunately, during an export from the master BitKeeper version of the kernel source tree into the CVS mirror, the change was detected and quickly removed.

From CNet: Macromedia has redesigned its web site so that it entirely Flash animated. This has gotten on some users' nerves, especially those who use Omnweb and Safari. They aren't able to view the content. Others complain it's slow and a bandwith hog. The inability to view the site in Safari is especially ironic, because a great deal of Macromedia's customers use the Macintosh to do their work.

URGENT: Call your Senator RIGHT NOW or

URGENT: Call your Senator RIGHT NOW or
live with the Broadcast Flag forever! 06/22/2005 02:11 AM

I felt the need to put this on the site in full context from BoingBoing this is a direct and complete quote off their website.

From Boing Boing

We've heard rumors that the Broadcast Flag that Cory, the EFF, and a coalition of pressure groups have fought so hard against (and beat in the courts) will be sneaked back via an amendment to the giant Senate Appropriations Bill in a sub-committee at 2PM EST on Tuesday 21st. This week is Hollywood's last chance to ram the flag past Congress, and they're working hard to get it under the radar.

There's no time to write letters or start a media campaign: but folk in the states below have just enough time to warn their senators, who are all on the sub-committee. People of Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin - it's up to you!

There's a sample script after the phone list. Remember: be cool, collected and polite. Most of these senators won't know a thing about the flag, until one of them makes it a throwaway amendment tomorrow. Make sure their ears twitch when they hear "broadcast flag" today.

ALABAMA Senator Richard Shelby (202) 224-5744
ALASKA Senator Ted Stevens (202) 224-3004
HAWAII Senator Daniel Inouye (202) 224-3934
IOWA Senator Tom Harkin (202) 224-3254
KANSAS Senator Sam Brownback (202) 224-6521
KENTUCKY Senator Mitch McConnell (202) 224-2541
MARYLAND Senator Barbara Mikulski (202) 224-4654
MISSOURI Senator Christopher Bond (202) 224-5721
NEW HAMPSHIRE Senator Judd Gregg (202) 224-3324
NEW MEXICO Senator Pete Domenici (202) 224-6621
NORTH DAKOTA Senator Byron Dorgan (202) 224-2551
TEXAS Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (202) 224-5922
VERMONT Senator Patrick Leahy (202) 224-4242
WASHINGTON Senator Patty Murray (202) 224-2621
WISCONSIN Senator Herb Kohl (202) 224-5653

"Hello, Senator _________'s office"

"Hi, I'm a constituent. [Remember: Only say 'I'm a constituent' if you really are -- if you're calling the Senator from _your own state_] I'm registering my opposition to the broadcast flag amendment being introduced in the Senate Commerce Justice and Science Appropriations subcommittee mark-up on Tuesday, and in full committee on Thursday."

(*** You can give your own reasons for opposing the flag here. Here's a sample: ***)

"The Broadcast Flag cripples any device capable of receiving over-the-air digital broadcasts."

"It give Hollywood movie studios a permanent veto over how members of the American public use our televisions."

"It forces American innovators to beg the FCC for permission before adding new features to TV."

"It will prevent fair use of copyrighted works: critical review, and use of material in distance learning"

"This is an important issue which will affect all Americans, and should not be inserted in a large bill, at the last moment, with no debate."

"Please oppose the broadcast flag amendment. My name and address are ___________________."

"Thank you for your time."

Thanks to Boing Boing

President of Video Game Company
Engineers Live HFStival Festival
Broadcast with 68,000 in Attendance 05/31/2004 01:55 PM
On a clear, hot day at RFK stadium in Washington, D.C., celebrated, Grammy nominated, recording engineer Bill Mueller returned to his first love – live broadcast engineering. Although president and owner of Vision Videogames of Towson Maryland, Mueller still manages to return to his roots by working directly in the live recording industry several times a year. He is no stranger to the HFStival having engineered it five times in the last six years. So far, this year’s additions to Mueller’s extensive rock resume include The Offspring, Yellowcard, Violent Femmes, New Found Glory, P.O.D., Voodoo Blue, and O.A.R. His other audio engineering credits include two Tibetan Freedom Concerts, Earth Day celebrations, Live from the House of Blues and over one hundred and fifty major artists including Aerosmith, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Eminem, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Sheryl Crow, and Puff Daddy. With a 30-year history in the music industry, Mueller believes in exposing new musical talent through the video game format. “The video game is the single strongest vehicle for breaking new music today. If you want your music heard, you have to get it in front of the audience. Today, there are millions of music loving people playing games.” [PRWEB May 27, 2004]
