Hackers embed flashing animations on epilepsy support forum

Engadget reports "This go 'round, a group of griefers (assuming to be members of Anonymous) managed to invade a support forum established by the nonprofit Epilepsy Foundation and use JavaScript code and messages littered with flashing animations to effectively assault dozens of visitors who suffer from the disorder. The Foundation managed to catch wind of the problem within 12 hours of the attack, and while the boards were closed down temporarily to purge it of offending messages, many readers experienced headaches and seizures before rescue arrived. Let's just say we sincerely hope the culprits get what's comin' to 'em."

I think that hackers have lost ethics. A day ago were rejoicing Mac Air being hacked in two minutes and now this shocker. People hack for money and some fun but this has crossed all lines. I hope such people are caught and punished severely.

Charlie Miller the Apple hacker

Charlie Miller has done it again. He had for his security firm Independent Security Evaluators hacked iphone last year. He pointed out that an attacker-controlled WiFi access point could be all that's needed to get through the security hole. Other possibilities include an attacker embedding the malicious code into something like a forum thread so that the user could be exploited even when going to a trusted site, or by merely directing users to a malicious web site by sending them a link in e-mail or SMS. The results are that the code embedded in the page then runs with administrative privileges

Now he has this year hacked the Macbook air in just two minutes in this year's CanSecWest conference. In two minutes he directed the contest's organizers to visit a Web site that contained his exploit code, which then allowed him to seize control of the computer. Because of this exploit he has won $10000 in cash.

And yes, Apple has been notified about the hole.

How To Find MP3’s with Google

This How-To will teach you how to use google to find mp3s. This How-To will be highly pragmatic and will focus on the hows and not the
wherefores of the various search strings. Written by my_haz

0) Key

= Section 0 - KEY
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You this are just some definitions I will use below.

[Directory String] can be any of the following :
1) "index of"
2) "last modified"
3) "parent of"

[file type] can be any of the following :
1) "mp3"
2) "shn"
3) "wma"

[mp3 name] can be any of the following :
1) the name of the album in quotes
2) the name of the artist in quotes
3) be daring and leave it blank and have lots of links
4) be creative!

[limitors]
1) -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls

(inurl:) is optional and may be omitted and in fact most be
omitted if not using a search tool other than google.

(intitle:) can be used in place of (inurl:) and has a similar effect
again you must be useing google.

(-filetype:txt) adding this to the end of your search string can
filter some false positives.

(-playlist) adding this to the end of your search string can
filter some false positives.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
= Section 1 - Directories
----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the most common way that mp3s are stored on the www, you
should try these strings first.

String Format :
Type 1 : [Directory String] + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 2 : [Directory String] + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name]

Type 3 : [Directory String] + [file type] + [mp3 name] + [limitors]

Example Strings :
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
- "index of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" -html -htm -php
- "index of" + mp3 + "grandaddy"
- "index of" + inurl:mp3 + "beatles" -txt -pls
- "index of" + intitle:mp3 + beatles
- "last modified" + "shn" + "dylan"
- "last modified" + inurl:shn + "bob dylan"
- "parent of" + inurl:wma + "grandaddy"

Suggestions :
- Try (intitle:index.of + "mp3" + "band name" -htm -html -php -asp) first it
is usually the most effective.

Another Little Trick:
- If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don't seem
to be there try adding dates and the "apache" string to your search i.e.

- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005

or if you just want a big list of mp3' doing a search like this everymonth
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + -html -htm -php -asp apache mar
