2008-10-04 17:31:00 Era el 5 de octubre de 1988, ¡hace veinte años!, miles de jóvenes de mi edad participábamos de una manera u otra en ese gran momento histórico, algunos, como yo, sólo asistiendo a las urnas votando NO.

Hackers Invade Mars
2008-06-03 13:50:00 Well, the website for the NASA Phoenix Lander at least. From the Register: Add the webpages for the Phoenix Mars Lander to the list of high-profile sites that have been hacked by script kiddies. Not once, but twice. Security pros had to take down the University of Arizona-hosted site after hackers replaced the lead blog entry with graffiti that read “hacked by VITAL.” As if that wasn’t enough, members of the self-declared “sql loverz crew” redirected baffled visitors of the Phoenix mission’s official webpage and a companion site to a third-party destination. That page gave credit to hackers going by the names BLaSTER and Cr@zy_king. Red is the color of the Martian surface, but it seems it also describes the faces of security pros responsible for the sites. Evidently, they had better things to do than vet their scripts for SQL-injection vulnerabilities. So these hackers were willing to step in and test the sites for them. Pesky SQL Injection attac...
