5 Tools To Bulletproof Firefox
Posted by l33tdawg on Sunday, July 16, 2006 - 03:08 AM (Reads: 1076)
Source: Information Week
Spyware, adware, drive-by downloads, phish blitzes, malware of all stripes, they all have one thing in common: they reach your computer through the wide open door that is your browser. If the most important step you can take to secure your system is to use a secure browser -- advice held by everyone apparently, including Microsoft, which is working feverishly on IE 7 to close the years'-long security gap it created by not keeping the app up to date -- then the second step is to lock down the browser beyond what it offers out of the box, and/or learn how to use the security tools it does provide. Firefox, which recently regained some of its market share momentum, fits the bill as a secure browser (more secure, anyway, than IE 6.x, its prime competitor). We've wrapped up the second step for you by sniffing out five tools -- four extras and one integrated -- that we see as the most important security add-ons.
5 Tools To Bulletproof Firefox
Here are five essential tools for securing Firefox by disabling JavaScript and Flash, sniffing out suspicious sites, foiling phishing, preventing peeks at private data, and preparing powerful passwords.

Spyware, adware, drive-by downloads, phish blitzes, malware of all stripes, they all have one thing in common: they reach your computer through the wide open door that is your browser.
If the most important step you can take to secure your system is to use a secure browser -- advice held by everyone apparently, including Microsoft, which is working feverishly on IE 7 to close the years'-long security gap it created by not keeping the app up to date -- then the second step is to lock down the browser beyond what it offers out of the box, and/or learn how to use the security tools it does provide.
Firefox, which recently regained some of its market share momentum, fits the bill as a secure browser (more secure, anyway, than IE 6.x, its prime competitor).
We've wrapped up the second step for you by sniffing out five tools -- four extras and one integrated -- that we see as the most important security add-ons.
Now when malware and spyware and adware walk through the door, you can tell them
Not so fast, buddy. I'm Firefox armed and dangerous.
NoScript: We Don't Need No Stinkin' Java
Firefox may not allow ActiveX -- the Microsoft Internet Explorer technology at the root of numerous vulnerabilities over the years -- but it does support other active content that can be as dangerous, like JavaScript. The bulk of Firefox-exploitable active content vulnerabilities are, in fact, JavaScript bugs. (The most recently reported was one that hit the wires in early June; TechWeb covered it here.)
Although it's possible to disable JavaScript entirely -- Tools|Options|Web Features, clear the Enable JavaScript box -- that's not such a good idea; at times you'll not only want JavaScript, you'll need it. (Some online banking sites, for instance, put log-in forms on the screen using JavaScript.)
Enter NoScript.
The extension blocks Java and JavaScript (and Flash if you tell it) on all sites but those on a user-defined whitelist. Better still, you can authorize a site to use JavaScript for that session, or add it to the whitelist.
A small icon at the bottom of Firefox indicates the NoScript status of the site; a click there lets you allow some or all scripts on the page, or turn them off on a previously-whitelisted site.
[color=Yellow]Page 2: [/color]
SiteAdvisor: I Spy Before They Spyware Most security strategies are reactive: like a beat cop, they don't swing into action until a crime's committed. Oops, too late: your identity's been hijacked.
To go proactive, you need something that gives you a hint of how dangerous an Internet neighborhood is before you walk into it. That's the approach of McAfee's SiteAdvisor.
The SiteAdvisor extension ( available here) slaps a green, yellow, or red safety rating next to search results on Google, Yahoo, and MSN; puts a color-coded button in the Firefox frame; and with a fast mouse-over, displays details about why the site's nasty, nice, or in-between.
SiteAdvisor scores sites on excessive use of pop-ups, how spammy the site is if you give it your e-mail address, and most importantly, prevalence of malicious downloads (including adware and spyware).
[color=Yellow]Page 3: [/color]
Clear Private Data: No Peeking
Every browser lets you cover your tracks -- an essential security step when you're working on a shared computer or one where others may peek inside (think office system) -- but Firefox's privacy retention command is the simplest to call.
Press the Ctrl-Shift-Del key combination -- or if you're more comfortable with the mouse, select Tools|Clear Private Data -- and a dialog box pops up offering to delete everything from the browsing history to saved passwords. (By unchecking the "Ask me before clearing private data" box, you'll save yourself a second click in the dialog.)
The feature, which debuted in Firefox 1.5, can be extended with the very small extension Clear Private Data; it adds a "clear data" item to the right-click menu within Firefox, and an optional icon that can be dragged and dropped to the browser's toolbar.
Password Maker: Password Please!
Security experts may nag us relentlessly to use different passwords for each Web site, but who, frankly, has that kind of brain power? Remember a dozen different passwords? Come on.
Firefox includes an integrated password manager (it's at Tools|Options|Passwords) that memorizes passwords, and if you want offers a "Master Password" to secure all the others, but a better tool is Password Maker, an extension that creates complicated, mathematically-difficult-to-break passwords automatically, but asks you to remember only one password.
Password Maker even has an online version so you can access its protected sites when you're away from your PC.
We're not cryptologists, so we really don't understand the science behind the extension -- there's more information here if you're interested -- but all you need to know is that your passwords aren't stored anywhere, so there's nothing for ID thieves to rip off.

Claim: Teachers have gotten into trouble over using 'The L.A. Math Test,' a piece of Internet humor, in the classroom.
Status: True.
City of Los Angeles
High School Math Proficiency Exam
Name:__________________________
Gang:__________________________
1. Johnny has an AK-47 with an 80-round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive-by shooting, how many drive-by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?
2. Jose has 2 ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8-ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Billy for $85 per gram. What is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn't cut it?
3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800-per-day crack habit?
4. Jarone want to cut his 1/2 pound of heroin to make 20% more profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?
5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy, and $100 for a 4X4. If he has stolen 2 BMWs, 3 4X4s, how many Chevies will he have to steal to make $800?
6. Raoul is in prison for 6 years for murder. He got $10,000 for the hit. If his common law wife is spending $100 per month, how much money will be left when he gets out of prison and how many years will he get for killing the bitch that spent his money?
7. If the average spray can covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can a tagger spray with 3 cans of paint?
8. Hector knocked up 6 girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls in the gang has Hector knocked up?
9. Thelma can cook dinner for her 16 children for $7.50 per night. She gets $234 a month welfare for each child. If her $325 per month rent goes up 15%, how many more children should she have to keep up with her expenses?
10. Salvador was arrested for dealing crack and his bail was set at $25,000. If he pays a bail bondsman 12% and returns to Mexico, how much money will he lose by jumping bail?
Origins: The Internet humor piece variously entitled "The L.A. Math Proficiency Test" or "The City of Los Angeles High School Math Proficiency Exam" has been part of online lore since at least 1993,
and others recall seeing photocopied versions of it as far back as the mid-1980s. Over time it has gone through some changes, notably the inclusion of questions 9 and 10 (which were not part of the earlier versions). Its humor is obvious: it simultaneously deplores the state of education in large urban centers and furthers the myth that teens from such regions are thoroughly steeped in a drugs, guns, gangs, and promiscuity culture by asserting that even the math questions directed towards them have to be framed in that context to be relevant to their lives. None of the Norman Rockwellian "Johnny has three apples; if he sells two to Ben, then Becky gives him five, how many does he now have?" innocence appears here even the test's header furthers the jape by asking for the student's name and gang affiliation, presenting the casual presumption that all the high schoolers being given the test are gang members.
Obvious humor or not, the "test" has landed a number of educators into trouble over the years. The Canadian National Post reported that a teacher at the Juniper School in Thompson, Manitoba, was suspended from her duties in June 2002 for distributing this test to students:
A Manitoba school district has barred a Grade 8 instructor from classroom teaching for a year after she distributed a math quiz that used pimps and cocaine trafficking to illustrate questions of arithmetic.
The 10-question quiz asked how much Willie would make for stealing a number of luxury cars, the distance a thief could travel on a stolen skateboard before he gets "whacked," and how many "tricks" a day three prostitutes must turn to support their pimp Rufus's cocaine habit.
The School District of Mystery Lake in Thompson, Man., suspended the veteran Juniper School teacher on June 5, two days after irate parents brought the "joke" test to the district's attention. This week the district disciplined her further by assigning her to non-classroom teaching until June, 2003. The teacher has not been identified.
"I don't know where she got the idea to give this to kids. We were outraged," one student's father, who asked not to be identified, told The Winnipeg Sun. The father saw the "Juniper School Math Proficiency Exam" after his young son brought his copy home from school.
(Diana Hiscock, general manager of the Thompson Citizen, said that the controversial quiz wasn't given out as an official school assignment or test: "The teacher gave it to a few of her grade 8 students to read as a fun thing. They took it home, and one of the parents saw it and complained to the school board.")
The unnamed teacher from the Mystery Lake School Board in Manitoba wasn't the first to have passed out the "L.A. Math Test" in class and paid the price for it. In 1997, six teachers at the Elsie Robertson High School in Lancaster, Texas, and another at the Norte Vista High School in Riverside, California, were suspended for doing the same thing. Likewise, in 1994, a Chicago elementary school teacher who gave a similar test was suspended for thirty days without pay and then resigned. Also in 1994, an Indiana high school teacher who gave the test apologized but was suspended anyway. And in 1993, a similar test was printed on phony school letterhead and passed around at workplaces in Redwood City, California.

Skype code cracked
Charlie Paglee
p2p news / p2pnet: A Chinese software firm has copied eBay's Skype, says Charlie Paglee, co-founder of VoIP start-up Vozin Communications.
As things stand, only Skype users can call other users via their PCs, but, ?I received a call through Skype from a friend at a company in China, except he told me he was not using Skype to call me,? says Paglee on his blog, going on, ?His company has successfully reverse engineered the Skype protocol and he wanted to call me in the United States to see how it worked between physically distant IP addresses.
?We talked for a little over nine minutes before the call dropped. Then I called him back using my Skype and we spoke for another three minutes.?
This could have a, ?terrible effect on eBay should they choose to leverage their Skype client to host advertisements,? says the blog. ?Now that there is the prospect of a competing client available there is little doubt that there will be an ad free alternative to Skype should advertisements on Skype appear in the future.?
Pagelee says for the moment, the Chinese version of Skype, cracked by Hanzen Corp, according to Dow Jones, only supports the placing of Skype p2p phone calls and although they haven't yet ?implemented presence, ?They have plans to add presence, instant messaging, and a host of other features. Their end goal is to create a client 100% compatible with Skype. They sent me a screen shot of their software (below) and my IP address was 100% correct.?
From a legal standpoint eBay is in a hard place, contines Paglee.

Lite-On IT to offer 20x DVD burners in 4Q
Posted by Dan Bell on 17 July 2006 - 14:52 - Source: DigiTimes
chas0039 used our news submit to tell us that according to this report from DigiTimes, we will be seeing some 20x drives before long. Remember the old CD writer jokes? Like, when's the 21x coming? At any rate, it looks as though the 18x drive will soon dominate the market, at least in the next couple years, replacing the very popular 16x burners. But, much depends on the availability of 18x chipsets.
Lite-On IT, given the fact that several global leading brands will follow Japan-based Plextor and unveil 18x DVD burner models this quarter or early next quarter, is preparing to offer 20x DVD burners in the fourth quarter to enhance its competitiveness, according to industry sources.
Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology (TSST), NEC, Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS), Pioneer and I-O Data Device are among the brands expected to release 18x DVD burners soon, the sources indicated.
The article went on to say, that NEC is currently the largest supplier of the 18x chipset. However, their sources indicated that if Taiwan's MediaTek should begin volume production of the 18x chipset, there is a good chance that current 16x models will be overtaken by the faster drives.

EU overturns Sony/BMG merger
7/17/2006 11:21:04 AM, by Nate Anderson
Aftershocks are still being felt throughout the music industry as the EU's Court of First Instance overturned 2004's Sony/BMG merger last Friday (read the decision). The court, which has also adjudicated parts of the Microsoft antitrust case, administered a major smackdown to the European Commission, the group that first approved the merger.
The deal was approved on July 18, 2004 after Commission regulators decided that the new company would not pose any antitrust problems. That decision was challenged in December 2004 by Impala, an association of independent music labels. They argued that the merger possed obvious threats to competition, since it would now put the majority of the world's music sales into the hands of two companies (Sony BMG and Universal). The Court of First Instance sided with Impala, telling the Commission that its initial decision had not lived up to the "requisite legal standard" and that its analysis of market conditions was flawed.
Impala was ecstatic over the decision. Patrick Zelnik, the group's president, called it a "watershed in European affairs. A landmark judgement for music. There is no doubt that it will block any further mergers and will transform how music and other creative sectors are treated. We have proved that, by acting collectively, we can challenge the unchallengeable." The group also crowed about being awarded three-quarters of all its court costs, but the Court of First Instance actually penalized Impala by not awarding it full fees, saying that the "attitude of Impala, the party which insisted that the case be dealt with under the expedited procedure, was scarcely compatible with the letter and the spirit of that procedure and slowed down the course of the proceedings."
The decision means that Sony BMG will have to apply to the Commission once more for approval (even though the companies have already merged). If the Commission now decides against the merger, the company would be forced to split. The decision also has implications for the possible merger between Warner and EMI, which have been trying to form a third megalabel that could counter Sony BMG and Universal. Such a merger now looks less likely in the EU.
While the unexpected decision is certainly a victory for the "little guy," it's not clear that it will have any meaningful effect on the market for independent music (though it could certainly affect major label music, as demonstrated by the labels' past bad behavior). Now that anyone with multitrack software and a couple of microphones can record an album and start a label, music has become almost ridiculously easy to produce. Making that new garage band album available to the nation, once the hardest part of the business, is now simple with digital storefronts like eMusic and the iTunes Music Store, both of which welcome indie artists and tiny labels.
Impala sees concentration as the great enemy, though. It's sponsoring a campaign called "Creativity Yes, Concentration No," which argues for the traditional false dichotomy between the Arts and Business. As they put it, "concentration undermines the right of local cultures and economies to self-determination and participation in today's globalised world. This is typical of the whole media sector where everything we see and hear on TV and radio is controlled by a powerful few. We must ensure that progress sustains diversity and freedom of information and that innovation is not stifled by excessive concentration and the collective dominance of a few oligopolies."
We want to believe, but it's not clear that having, say, five massive conglomerates running the music business is that much better than having three. This was the situation before 2004, and the picture wasn't a lot rosier for independent artists. Still, this is one small step toward preventing the increasing concentration of media power, and if you see Big Content as a bad thing, it's cause for at least some temporary celebration.

Microsoft confirms "Zune" - its rival to the iPod and iTunes
Posted by Seán Byrne on 23 July 2006 - 02:26 - Source: ipodnn
After various reports about Microsoft planning to launch a rival to iTunes and the iPod for the holiday season, Microsoft has finally confirmed that they will launch a competitor under the brand name "Zune". Like the iTunes and the iPod, Zune will cover portable media players and an online content download service to operate similar to iTunes.
The portable player will feature Wi-Fi connectivity for the wireless transfer of content to the device as well as for access to online interactive features directly from the player itself. For example, the player will allow one to view other people's playlists, make recommendations for songs as well as sample and purchase music directly from the player itself. Apparently, the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows based mobile phones will also be supported by the service later on.
Despite Microsoft's confirmation about its rival service and players to Apple's offerings, back in June Microsoft has previously denied past rumours that they were developing players to compete with the Apple iPod. Now, it looks like these rumours were true after all.
Microsoft today confirmed that it will launch an iPod competitor branded as "Zune." The offering will include portable media players as well as an online service, similar to Apple's iTunes Music Store. The Wall Street Journal reports that Chris Stephenson -- Microsoft's general manager of marketing for MSN Entertainment Business -- said that Microsoft sees "great opportunity to bring together technology and community to allow consumers to explore and discover music together." Stephenson said the first musical device will contain a hard drive as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, and that the company is looking at seven or eight different wireless scenarios, which range from enabling users to view as well as sample music from other Zune devices in the same hotspot to purchasing and downloading music directly to the device.
The Microsoft manager said users will be able to view each other's playlists, as well as recommend music and sample tracks. The capability will also reportedly extend to the Xbox 360, PCs, and mobile phones running Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft chairman and former CEO Bill Gates in February pledged to bring new iPod competitors to the market by working with hardware partners in developing new digital media products.
As there is no mention that Microsoft?s upcoming service will be compatible with existing Windows Media players, it is not clear yet whether or not consumers will have to purchase a ?Zune? based/compatible player in order to make use of their service. If this is the case, it will make matters only worse when it comes to DRM, especially with at least three different DRM systems widely in use on the market, each being totally incompatible with another.
So far Microsoft has already failed to beat Apple despite its previous offerings such as helping put is DRM format on a wide range of portable music and media players, help launch subscription based unlimited download services that use the Windows Media Format, heavy advertising and so on. In fact, services that began offering unlimited download subscription based services previously announced that they would be become the major iPod killer, but had barely made much of a dent on the iPod and iTunes markets. I cannot see this introduction of a totally new service and interactive player features suddenly going to make consumers think twice of using iTunes or an iPod.

Ireland; where are you? Come back to us guy; you're missed by all of us...your unique sense of humor, your pics, you're interesting way of quelching an upcoming flame war.
Anyway, I'm having a really strong iced coffee while testing a couple of rooms so I thought I'd take this quick break. I saw something really funny this morning on the way into the office. I came in really early and the sun was still rising. Carloads or college kids (I'm assuming) had ladders and trunks full of orange construnction cones and were going up and down the Ben Franklin Parkway (a rather showy street with all the national flags, elaborate fountains, museums, huge fancy sculptures of founding fathers, war heros etc) and they were going from statue to statue and sculpture to sculpture putting an orange cone on all the heads. Maybe you'd have to see it but it was hysterical...I love such stunts if they're non destructive.

Good morning one and all! Nice large ice cofffee and I'm soon too pick up a breakfast that I absolutely should not be eating; hell, I've been so good that I'm going to celebrate having been so deligent. (Two eggs, toast and a couple of strips of bacon...not that bad). I actually went against my totally cheap nature and took a taxi to work today. That's really unlike me (it's roughly a three mile walk). Just didn't want to deal with the heat and had a couple of things to bring anyway. It was hot as blazes as I left the building and it was only 7:00 a.m. I'm sure three this afternoon is going to be a real doozie. Stay cool guys!
