Define Spyware Or Just Enforce Existing

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.

Instant authentication against an
existing web application

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.

TV over broadband will come from
existing satellite and cable brands,
says Analysys 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]
