Want to test your ISP for Packet Forgery? Here’s how.
2007-11-28 21:15:00 So much was said about traffic shaping and using packet forgery to block P2P by Comcast and others in months passed. Nothing has been do to stop the practice, and the story has faded as old news in the tech media. It was recently discovered that Comcast was using forged TCP/IP packets to throttle upstream p2p bandwidth. While the Associated Press got credit for the discovery, it was actually one of our forum users that first uncovered the practice. In fact, site user Robb Topolski had already discovered how to thwart the systemdoing something similar. (from Broadband Reports) You can help keep the net free of forged packed to “manage traffic” by helping keep watch on your ISP. The EFF can help. They have a published a guide for using Wireshark to test for ISP tomfoolery.

Law Firms: Car chases, adultery, forgery, coverups...oh my?
2007-10-16 20:04:00 Thank law.com's Legal Times for this one.There's an interesting debacle going on at the mid-size (100 attorneys) firm of Beveridge & Diamond. Apparently it involves the divorce of a partner in the firm, who's wife is a non-practicing attorney holding senior positions in the ABA. While being served process, Beveridge, the name partner, apparently got away in his car, and was involved in a car chase, hunted by the process server. The server eventually barely got it attached to the guy's windshield after a chase across the District. The whole lurid detail goes into people dipping into the 401(k), forging signatures, and taking out loans based on forged documents. The chief suspect, Mr. Guttmann, was previously named as one of the top 45 lawyers under 45, by "The American Lawyer" and was the managing partner of the firm.I don't even have word to describe how awesome this whole thing is. Just read the news article.

Cross-Site Request Forgery
2007-04-23 05:53:00 Como havia comentado em um post anterior, uma das novidades do Top10 2007 do OWASP é o CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) vulnerabilidade que tem o conhecido XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) como vetor.O CGIsecurity.com explica CSRF
The Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF) FAQ
2007-03-02 18:40:01 Cross Site Request Forgery (also known as XSRF, CSRF, and Cross Site Reference Forgery) works by exploiting the trust that a site has for the user. Site tasks are usually linked to specific urls (Example: http://site/stocks?buy=100&-stock=ebay) allowing specific actions to be performed when requested. If a user is logged into the site and an attacker tricks their browser into making a request to one of these task urls, then the task is performed and logged as the logged in user. Typically an attacker will embed malicious HTML or JavaScript code into an email or website to request a specific ‘task url’ which executes without the users knowledge, either directly or by utilizing a Cross-site Scripting Flaw. Injection via light markup languages such as BBCode is also entirely possible. These sorts of attacks are fairly difficult to detect potentially leaving a user debating with the website/company as to whether or not the stocks bought the day before was initiated by th...
