| addiction-based game design Category : articles | Everyone knows that World of Warcraft, its sinister older cousin EverQuest and similar games are addicting. But what is the exact quality they possess that makes them that way? Is there a specific property they possess that we can extract, distill and pour into other games? And, if we do this, are we using our powers for evil? Posted : Friday May 29th 2009, 10:39:30 pm |

| Creating a rogue CA certificate Category : articles | We have identified a vulnerability in the Internet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) used to issue digital certificates for secure websites. As a proof of concept we executed a practical attack scenario and successfully created a rogue Certification Authority (CA) certificate trusted by all common web browsers. This certificate allows us to impersonate any website on the Internet, including banking and e-commerce sites secured using the HTTPS protocol. Our attack takes advantage of a weakness in the MD5 cryptographic hash function that allows the construction of different messages with the same MD5 hash. This is known as an MD5 "collision". Previous work on MD5 collisions between 2004 and 2007 showed that the use of this hash function in digital signatures can lead to theoretical attack scenarios. Our current work proves that at least one attack scenario can be exploited in practice, thus exposing the security infrastructure of the web to realistic threats.

| Filtering Data with PHP Category : articles | One of the greatest strengths of PHP is its ease of use. Unfortunately this same benifit has worked against PHP as many new coders have forgotten any security measures or lack the expertise to create a class to validate their variables from end users. PHP provides an extension to help with this process. There are many validation classes out there, some better than others, with an equal number of methods for doing the same task. The PHP filter extension has many of the functions needed for checking many types of user input. Handled locally this provides a standard method of filtering data. This makes for easier to read code as we will all be using the same functions rather than having to create our own. This will bring PHP security to fore with programmers able to easily implement simple, yet robust, filtering of data. Posted : Tuesday December 23rd 2008, 2:28:00 am |
| Water Gas Category : articles | Holy crap, some genius has just figured out how to save the world with 100mpg fuel economy and, in one fell swoop, broke the laws of physics, chemistry, and thermo-dynamics, again. A good debunking article on water gas. Posted : Wednesday December 17th 2008, 6:30:05 pm |
| Brain Surgery Helps a Mute Man Speak Category : articles | A surgical procedure performed by a team from Boston University, Massachusetts led by Professor Frank Guenther, has enabled a mute man to speak again. An electrode implanted in the patient’s brain made it possible for the patient to produce vowels by thinking them, using a speech synthesizer. In the future, this breakthrough may help patients with similar injuries produce entire sentences, using signals from their brains. Posted : Friday December 5th 2008, 6:02:21 pm |
| Data Recovery on Linux and ext3 Category : articles | This article discusses the process of recovering deleted data from an ext3 partition, on a system running Linux, using a process called data carving. This basic technique is useful in any number of situations, such as recovering data that has been accidentally deleted by a user, information removed in an attempt to erase signs of a system intrusion that could be used to track the source, or data erased by an end-user attempting to cover up an acceptable use policy infraction.

| Microsoft to Issue Emergency Security Update Category : articles | Redmond rarely releases security patches outside of Patch Tuesday, the second Tuesday of each month. The software giant isn't providing many details yet, but the few times it has departed from its Patch Tuesday cycle it has always done so to stop the bleeding on a serious security hole that criminals were using to break into Windows PCs on a large scale.
