No, it's malicious code targetting spoofing trusted websites that use frames. No website should be using frames for the trusted portion of their site, IMO. That's bad design, and prone to phishing attacks on their customers.
NOTE: Exploitation can easily be made "automatic". However, since this example only serves as a test to give users an understanding of how it works, we have chosen not to do so.
Regardless, I don't consider this to be too big of deal. Th exploit can be used for a phishing attack, when a trusted site is using frames. A nontrusted site then replaces one of the inner pages with a fake lookalike, but the user can't tell, becasuse the address isn't shown in the address bar.
Banks using frames for the trusted portion of their sites is extremely bad design, and I don't know of any that does that anyways.

What do you say to someone who has a digital music collection that exceeds 900,000 songs? This was the question I was pondering during my long drive to interview the man who claims he is on a quest to own a copy of ever song ever recorded. What do you say? I think the only way to begin such an interview would be to ask "why?"...
When I pulled into the driveway of the King of the Pirates, an upper middle class neighborhood of stylish homes and SUV's, Infiniti's, and more Mini-Coopers than necessary, I was surprised by the normalcy of it all. His home was nothing short of spectacular, his wife a mid-30's ex-underwear model (honest!), and his two kids well groomed, apparently intelligent, and very wired. (As in technology-wise, not ADD) This is not the home I would have thought would be the enclave of someone out to pirate the hell out of the music industry. This was going to be very interesting...
Our man, let's call him Doug, greeted me with a huge hug, a broad smile on his face, drink in hand (Grand Mariner of all things), and invited me in to his den. He was absolutely thrilled to finally be able to talk to someone who was actually interested in what he was doing. Seems that 'the wife' as he calls her, was bored to tears hearing about his latest collections, or the latest Bit Torrent site he found; a treasure trove of hard to find music all ripped at 256-bits. The wife wants to know why he doesn't play more golf, like his friends. "Golf is the most boring game in the world, what I am doing is much more fun."
His Pirate Room - A MacGeek's Heaven on Earth
Doug has devoted one of the extra bedrooms (he has 7 of them) into what could only be described as The War Room. He owns three Power Mac G5's, and just added two iMac G5's. Several external 250GB firewire drives are attached to the iMacs, and sitting in the corner are a stack of at least 6 other external drives, all 300GB, brand new, boxed, and just waiting to go online.
He has two cable modems and one DSL. One cable modem is "for the family", the other dedicated to his quest. The DSL line is a backup and is sometimes used when he had discovered a new site that offers a slew of new torrents he wants to mine. The wife, and the kids are all connected to the Internet through an Airport network, with multiple Airport Express base stations scattered among the house.
All the Macs in his command and control room have JBL Creature speaker systems, some white, some blue, and a burgundy one that I have never seen before. The entire room is lit with indirect 'rope' lights, giving the room a feel of living in the Star Trek universe. There are a couple of rich soft brown leather chairs and one long, very plush, baby-butt soft leather sofa that just screams comfort. I took a seat on the sofa and never felt more pampered or more comfortable. I made a mental note that once our pets' pass on this was going to be the sofa in MY house. For all I cared this interview could go for days, once ensconced in this incredible piece of furniture I didn't want to leave...ever.
The Wife bought us a pot of coffee (Jamaican Blue Mountain), two cups, and cream and a small bowl of 'equal'. With the coffee was a plate of fresh (fresh!) Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Sticks. The interaction between The Wife and Doug showed that these two were a happy couple. The seemed to really like each other, and that, my friends, is more rare than you might think.
Once I got through ogling the various Macs, finding the perfect position on the sofa made by God himself, and prepared myself a cup of incredible coffee we began the interview. But before we did, he had one last request before I began throwing questions at him. He wanted me to listen to a song he downloaded the day before; a rare unreleased track by Mick Jagger that he found on a fansite dedicated to Mick. I loved it, pure Mick, and asked him if he would burn it to CD for me. "No, sorry, I can't do that. I don't sell or give away any music I own. That would be against the law." A perfect opportunity to j

i don't have much of an idea. i do know i want bush out. i knew that four years ago. beacause i already knew who i was voting for four years ago, i haven't even bothered to watch any events.
what's funny is four years ago i had different reasons for not liking him. now i have a damn good reason; i want my friggin rights back.
Difference between magstripe and RFID readers. The magstripe reader needs the card in the reader for it to work. The RFID reader needs to be close to the card (ie: in your wallet as you're walking by.). Completely different. I sure as hell don't want want somebody to be able to read my driver's license as I'm walking by.
No, putting it in a passport would be a different story. The reason: people don't generally walk around with their passports. A driver's license is necessary in everyday use; I always have my driver's license on me, as do you. That's a major security risk if anybody with an RFID reader can read my license.

did something a little bit different. it was an extrmely powerful cd recording application. If you entered a hacked serial number, it would burn minor defects into cds it made, so subtle you wouldn't recognize it immediately. However, they also notified the user when entering the serial number, that using a hacked number will result in this.
echelon could do the same, and it will essentially uprevent people from using hacked numbers, at least until somebody cracks it and removes the offending code out.
Yes, I will second that. I know that when a massive hurricane is coming that is threatening to destory our house, and everybody is scared for their life, I'mthinking about how much fun it will be not having to work, stocking up on alcohol, and watching trees fly. Driving 120 mph in the rain, fuck, I'll do that in my sleep. On Xanax. (not really, but it makes a point.) Just totaled my car and insurance might not cover it? Shit happens.
OTOH, any girl/family problems absolutely kill me and I simply can't function.

The quality of graduates with programming degrees has been absolutely terrible for years now.
Wow. So the Universities are just arbitrarily passing out degrees at the exits?
Actually, yes I just graduated, and know quite a few people who were passed simply because they were on their last leg and the teacher didn't want to make them stay more time for just one class. Often there's not just one teacher who thinks that...

Not a stoned mugger. A stoner who's hungry (you know, munchies?) who sees a box of pizza.

no that's charred
chared is something in between caring and charring, kind of like, "I did it because I love you."
if i'm late for a long trip, call the police, tell 'em to clear the roads and then go at 120 mph ..... nicely done Hicham
the phone number [(+78 327) 47 01 99 ] they provide does not exist. No country has +78 has their country code.

f(2)= 8182845904
f(3)= 8747135266
f(4)= 7427466391
f(5)= __________
Each number is in the digits of e, and each set sums up to 49, so you just need to find the 5th set of numbers in e whose sum is 49.
which is: 5966290435

One that I was surprised is that Night of the Living Dead is in the public domain (as of a few months ago.) Check out archive.org for other ones.
