Digg being suspicious?

Digg, Google, FireFox, security September 3rd, 2008

Is Digg.com being a suspicious website? Well I was digging some stuff at Digg.com when I got this message in Firefox:

digg_attacked.jpg

I got back to Digg and it was alright. I got back to the site that had the content that I was digging and it was alright.

If you hit the site www.antispywaremaster.com you will see the same message.

So why it was blocked? check this out

Mcrypt with Appserv on Windows

Mcrypt, AppServ, security, PHP October 2nd, 2007

After a while I could figure out how to install the Mcrypt library on Appserv and windows.

Steps:

  1. Remove the ; (enable) from the php Mcrypt extension line on PHP INI file
  2. Copy the windows Mcrypt DLL - http://files.edin.dk/php/win32/mcrypt/ - to Windows/System32 folder
  3. Restart Apache (and probably windows - I did)
  4. Open a phpinfo file and verify if mcrypt is enabled and what types of encryptions does it carries. If you are using a encryption method that mcrypt does not offer support, it will give a mcrypt module initialization error.

phpMyAdmin XSS exploit

xss, security, phpMyAdmin September 10th, 2007

On September 9th, Debian released a patch for the built-in phpMyAdmin installation.  See security bulletin

I’m not sure if this patch addresses the same XSS vulnerabilities listed in phpMyAdmin’s security announcement in April.

The Nice Name Crew has released some tips on hacking phpMyAdmin.   See Papers

You can find some old Google Hacking links on johnny i hack stuff here and here.
