  3. Fun with deaf relay operators :) by ag0ny · · Score: 1 · on Sign Language Via Cell Phone

    From the Phone Losers of America:

    EPISODE #3 - Deaf Relay Operators

    This episode features my new co-host Mary, a relay operator. It also features songs, skits, messages, commentary, commercials and raps all performed by deaf relay operators. It's approximately 17 minutes long and the download is 15,597 kb. Click here to listen to it.

    Most of the relay voicemail messages played are more than 10 years old. The message involving the terrorist blowing up a commuter airline, done in 1994, was left on my own voicemail by myself while hanging out in the Portland, Oregon airport. "Mahmoad" was my roommate's name. Other messages were left on my home answering machine by PLA readers that I don't know. Thanks to RTF who made the Shakesphere promo for us a couple years ago.

    The people over at the Deaf Relay Message Board aren't too amused with this episode! Be sure to stop by and say hello to the board moderator, Clear-Conscience. There's some great messages there relating to relay prank calls and a lot of the ops think that they're vigilantes and will call back the pranksters.

  6. "Last Measure" improper MySQL accessing code... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic · on Chinese Satellite Crashes Into House
    "Last Measure" improper MySQL accessing code can lead to arbitrary MySQL command execution

    Date discovered: 10 Oct. 2004 Severity: Critical
    Synopsis

    The popular "Last Measure" PHP script, commonly used by trolls and script kiddies, contains unique features including the logging of referer information (for both URLs and the username of the poster), the IP address of the victim, and the victim's clipboard contents (the code only works with versions of Internet Explorer running on Windows XP or earlier without Service Pack 2, even though there are similar ways to get clipboard information from Mozilla-based browsers).

    One part of the script, a database browser for victim's clipboard contents, contains hastily-written code (authored by Rucas) that can be exploited to execute arbitrary MySQL commands via modification of the variables passed in an HTTP GET request.

    Proof of Concept
    A normal GET request to look at a specific database entry looks like this:

    GET /lastmeasure/clipboard.php?n=#### HTTP/1.0


    ...where "####" is a number used to access a specific entry in the database. The numeric parameter value can be modified to pass another MySQL command (in the example shown below, the entire database is deleted):

    GET /lastmeasure/clipboard.php?n=%0aDELETE%20FROM%20cl ipboard%20WHERE%20clipboard%20!=%20%27%27%0a%23 HTTP/1.0


    A stray "%0a" is interpreted literally as a command separator, which allows other commands to take place (an error message may result for the command that is supposed to run, but all other commands will run).

    Solution

    It is highly recommended that the "Last Measure" script be disabled completely (or that the database functionality be disabled) until a patch is released. Contact the developers at lastmeasure.com if you have any concerns.

  16. Convert your tin foil hat to a wallet? Not yet... by LostCluster · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave?

    Nothing like a Slashdot post to jump to a conclusion.

    Clearly, there's something funny going on with the microwaved bills... but stores don't have RFID scanners at the exits yet. They have an acousto-magnetic sensor that gets deactivated by a pad at the cash register so that paying customers aren't supposed to set them off. Big difference here is that the tags in a store system don't yet emit an identifying signal... they all emit the same reply. The store doesn't know what a shoplifter did to trip the alarm, just that they did trip it. There's not quite proof that each bill is emitting its serial number yet.

    Also, having microwaved everything in a stack makes things a bit unclear. Did every eye burn on its own, or did just one or two bills in the middle of the stack catch flame which in turn burned all of the bills above and below in varying degrees. Notice that the top and bottom bills were unharmed. Could one bill alone be microwaved safely?

    And, BTW, if you so much as put slightly crumpled tin foil in your microwave, you get a similar effect. Could there just be a small metal content in the bill designed so that somebody who has $1000 worth of $20 bills (rather than simply 10 $100's) in their wallet is sure to set off an airport security alarm until they show their wallet to make sure they get an extra security questions?

    It's interesting, but I think more research needs to be done. Microwave carefully, people.
