Thursday, September 27th, 2012internet security days
Monday, September 10th, 2012..start tomorrow at the Phantasialand near Cologne. Too bad that
that abuse-team meeting and the meeting of the email security group
takes place simultaneously. Guess I have to throw the dice to decide where to go..
State Sponsored Malware Takes Over Mars Rover
Friday, August 10th, 2012Interesting article here.
From the article: “Wording is purposefully crafted to generate attention.”
RIPE lost DNS-reverse zones
Thursday, June 14th, 2012Regardless of the announcement in
http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/announcements/update-regarding-the-reverse-dns-services-issues there is still a problem regarding different ipv4-reverse ranges.
Somehow RIPE lost them..:-(
Let us see when they really have fixed the problem.
MySQL-Bug
Monday, June 11th, 2012As Heise reported, there ia a possible login-bug in MySQL. Enough trials lead to a login without a valid password. At least some distributions are vulnerable (reports from “hetzner” vserver customers).
MAAWG
Saturday, June 2nd, 2012Next week the 25th MAAWG meeting will take place in Berlin.
Let’s see what news can be learned there.
phish-run
Friday, May 25th, 2012This morning, 10:28 a.m. a new domain got created:
Updated Date: 25-may-2012
Creation Date: 25-may-2012
Expiration Date: 25-may-2013
Same day, a few hours later:
No match for “domain”.
>>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 25 May 2012 14:37:56 UTC <<<
So much work for the spammer:
and after about 50 clicks the domain was already removed..
money earned? .. none 🙂
Mini Moog
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012I am very impressed by the emulation of the “Mini Moog” Synthesizer presented as the Goggles “Doodle” of today – including a 4-track recorder .. whow!
I remember the times when I actually played a Mini Moog back in the 70’s 🙂
php-bug
Friday, May 4th, 2012If you run PHP in cgi-mode you are probably vulnerable to a newly found bug:
Heise: Gefahr-durch-offene-PHP-Luecke
Adding parameters like http://localhost/index.php?-s to an url can show the source code or even inject or run parametes in the shell.
Until an update exists it might be wise to filter out some string-elements (like “-” without “=”)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(%2d|-)[^=]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1? [L]
new TLDs: ICANN TAS portal down
Thursday, April 12th, 2012Just a few hours before the deadline in submitting new applications passes the online portal
TAS for submitting these broke down..
12 April 2012: Application window closes at 23:59 UTC on 12 April 2012
The database behind is obviously not stress-tested or poorly designed.
Funny that ICANN demands detailed technical expertise for applicants but fails
when data is really submitted.
cite from ICANN-page::
ICANN constantly monitors the performance of the TLD Application System (TAS). Recently, we received a report of unusual behavior with the operation of the TAS system. We then identified a technical issue with the TAS system software.
ICANN is taking the most conservative approach possible to protect all applicants and allow adequate time to resolve the issue. Therefore, TAS will be shut down until Tuesday at 23:59 UTC - unless otherwise notified before that time.
In order to ensure all applicants have sufficient time to complete their applications during the disruption, the application window will remain open until 23:59 UTC on Friday, 20 April 2012.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If you have any questions, please contact the gTLD Customer Service Center (CSC) via the CSC portal.
