Question for SSH Experts

Question for SSH Experts 08/28/2004 06:42 PM
I use an SSH tunnel to retrieve e-mail from a private domain, and want to configure it to also let me browse the Web via the tunnel. I have the following as part of a .sh file I launch manually from a terminal window to get the SSH session going: -L 143:127.0.0.1:143 -L 25:127.0.0.1:25 This works fine for my IMAP mail. Now I want to use it for browsing. I assume I need to use forwarding for port 80, adding -L 80:127.0.0.1:80 but I'm not sure how to configure the browser settings once I've done that. Suggestions welcomed below. Thanks.

Experts question integrity of proposed
military e-voting scheme 09/03/2004 04:52 AM
Last February, a team of patriotic geeks was assembled by Uncle Sam to test out the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) system for military and others stationed outside the Untied States. The team's conclusions, unfortunately, were that the system was as wide open as a Windows box in terms of vulnerability and totally closed in terms of code, calling the mostly-Accenture software of the system into question.

Software patents are bad for coders like
literary patents would be for writers

Software patents are bad for coders like
literary patents would be for writers 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: Richard Stallman, creator of the Free Software movement, has written a tremendous essay for the Guardian on the risks of software patents. Richard undertakes a gedankenexperiment about "literary patents" and the impact they would have had on Victor Hugo as he sat down to pen Les Miserables.

Now consider this hypothetical literary patent: Claim 1: a communication process that represents, in the mind of a reader, the concept of a character who has been in jail for a long time and subsequently changes his name...

These patents would all cover the story of one character in a novel. They overlap, but they do not precisely duplicate each other, so they could all be valid simultaneously - all the patent holders could have sued Victor Hugo. Any one of them could have prohibited publication of Les Misérables.

You might think these ideas are so simple that no patent office would have issued them. We programmers are often amazed by the simplicity of the ideas that real software patents cover - for instance, the European Patent Office has issued a patent on the progress bar, and one on accepting payment via credit cards. These would be laughable if they were not so dangerous.

Caller ID Spoofing Service

Caller ID Spoofing Service 08/31/2004 05:56 AM

My wife and I made a decision nearly 2 years ago to no longer pay for Caller ID. I was initially against it but in the long run I have not missed it. All of the important calls come in on the cell anyway. For those of you that have Caller ID a new spoofing service is out their. I would imagine for stalkers and prank callers this service will be valuable but I just don't understand why you would want to legitimately spoof your caller ID. [ZDNet]

Caller ID Spoofing... For Businesses

Caller ID Spoofing... For Businesses 08/27/2004 07:01 PM
Forget spoofed email headers, a new company has been set up to help companies spoof the caller ID. The product is focused at collections agencies and private investigators, who can call a deadbeat up pretending to be someone they know to get them to answer the phone. The company insists they just want to target those types of customers, but I imagine some telemarketers would enjoy using such a tool. Meanwhile, there are some questions on legality. One person notes that it doesn't appear to break any laws -- but someone else points out that there are rules against collections agencies misrepresenting themselves. And, of course, as soon as this becomes popular, someone will pass a law banning caller ID spoofing.

OS X update has Bluetooth caller ID

OS X update has Bluetooth caller ID 05/27/2004 05:07 PM
Gadget Lab's Brian Lam sez: "I noticed that you covered blue phonemenu in the past, so figured I'd drop a line about the new os x panther update. I was just reading the update details and saw this :

"Dialog windows for incoming phone calls and SMS messages for a paired Bluetooth phone now appear in the foreground."

I just tested it. You have to pair your bluetooth phone in address book, and a little pop up comes up, like bluephonemenu. The dialog choices are: add card/log call, sms reply, hang up, answer.

Log call puts the time and date of the call in the address book entry

Unfortunately, the pop up box doesn't show an image of the person calling - that would be freakin' cool

For SMS, the pop-up box has the dialog choices: log sms, reply, and ok.

It's pretty good, and stable, but doesn't sit in the system tray like bluephonemenu. Link

Bogus-ify your outgoing caller ID

Bogus-ify your outgoing caller ID 08/31/2004 01:06 AM
Xeni Jardin: Ahoy, stalkers, crank yankers, and evil telemarketer scumbags! Beginning this Wednesday, September 1, US-based online company Star38.com will offer paying subscribers a Caller ID falsification service. Make-believe you're the White House! Or 1-800-CALL-ATT! Or, hell, get your '80s on and vamp out in 867-5309! Kevin Poulsen of SecurityFocus tried it out, and evidently the service checked out as providing what it promised. Users complete an online form with phone number, number they want to call, number they want to appear to be calling from; in a couple of seconds, the system rings back to patch them through to their call destination. But, like, in a secret numeric disguise: call recipients see the spoofed number displayed on Caller ID. Link to Register article (via /., which contains some interesting debate from readers over whether or not the system is a truly effective spoofing mechanism)

Caller ID Hackable in VOIP Systems

Caller ID Hackable in VOIP Systems 07/07/2004 04:14 PM
The softswitches that route VOIP calls get caller ID info off the PSTN (public switched telephone network), but they don't play by the PSTN's FCC-mandated rules. Those rules make regulated telcos validate that caller ID and block it if requested. Which is why, if you get a call from an IP phone network, you can't trust the caller ID; it may be spoofed. Worse, you can't trust your own caller ID to be blocked if you're calling an IP phone.
