  1. I use this on Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Web Applications · · Score: 2

    I use this in my .htaccess file

    order allow,deny
    deny from all

    same thing for *.bak

    This way the files can be included by php, but apache refuses to show the content.

  2. also dangerous: on Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Web Applications · · Score: 4, Insightful

    - having foo.php.bak files.
    if these files access databases or contain other passwords they're likely to be visible in the .bak file.

    - .inc files.
    same probmen if .inc isn't parsed or blocked in any way.

  3. so much for Exhibit "C" on Google Responds to SearchKing's Lawsuit · · Score: 2

    Exhibit "C"
    www://pradnetwork.com/rules.htm (website page)

    'page can not be found'
    www is not a registered protocol.

    there goes the defence :o

  4. simple work-around. on You Can't Link Here · · Score: 5, Informative

    there are several ways to block unwanted links to a server. you can prevent x-linking of pictures or detect a link from an other site with the http-referer.

    BUT.

    insead of linking directly to an other page you can use this:
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=http://www.forbidden.to/link/to/this/page.html ">

    this will generate no referer. or to put it differently, the referer looks the same as if it were a bookmark. ans if you would stop people from bookmarking your site you're really stupid ;-)

  5. Bye Flash on IAB Recommends Larger Web Advertising · · Score: 2

    If flash is going to be used more and more for avertising, I'll have no other option than removing it.
    http://nu.nl/news.jsp?n=87229&c=50 shows a shaking bottle thingy on the left enat will pop open when you mouse-over it.
    it annois and distradts me everytime i want to read the news.

    maybe i'm still from the HTML 1.0 age, but the web will be the same without flash, but the web will be even better without shouting ads :-)

  6. pay in advance on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 2

    like snailmail, you pay in advance for sending the mail and the receiver can choose to refund that money.

    use something like paypal or whatever to do and validate the payment. the sender will receive a ontime key that allows them to send the mail. all of this will be automated by pressing the 'send' button.

    people on the whitelist will receive a permanent key.

  7. WOW! Where can I get my own B.R.A.I.N??? on Massive Two Towers Battle · · Score: 1

    err. nevermind ;-)

  8. such a shame... on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and what a way to scare away your visitors.
    weired plugins, too many popups or obligatory cookies and i'm gone.
    google will help me to find an other site :-)

    what, by the way, about indexing software. wget isn't doing javascript. I wonder if 'protected' sites will be indexed correctly.

  9. windows is just a tool on Microsoft Targeting Indian Developers · · Score: 2

    I'm developing web-applications. it just happens there are a number of handy applications to develop them under windows.

    sweet eh? use windows to develop for linux. that's the way bill woulnd't like it i guess ;-)

  10. new missile coating on Laser Shoots Down Artillery Shell In Flight · · Score: 2

    make your missile reflect the laser. that will reduce the effectiveness of the laser I would say.
    that's my first impression after reading the article.

  11. Statistics are cool. on Working Bayesian Mail Filter · · Score: 1

    I write a simple script to recognize languages by their letter frequencies. [http://www.fuzzums.nl/talenknobbel/].
    this methis isn't very strong, but with a fair amount of input the resulte get better. it even recognised the difference between dutch and a dutch dialect. the problem was that the alphabet only hat 26 characters, so i came up with the idea of using letter pairs.

    when i read the article it was really funny. the methids he uses are almost the same as my method. and when i read about using word pairs: LOL.

    this will be a very cool sam-filter. i love it already.

  13. Complain? on Using MAC Address to Uniquely Identify Computers · · Score: 1

    I would say it's rather fair.

    This should encourage people not to use cheats which increases a fair game. I see no problem with that. It should make online gaming more fun.

    And also if it can be used to track illegal copies. You should pay for the games. I have no problem with that either. A companie writes a game and should get payed for it.

    Here I only mention two mayor problems with games and if extreme measures have to be taken for people not to cheat or even buy the game like they should do... why not. There is no law that says it's ok to screw others. Is there?

  14. Re:Small virus catcher (for DOS) on Smallest Possible ELF Executable? · · Score: 1

    actualli, I caught a virus with it, but never mind. the topic was small programs with every byte accounted for.

    I used that 1 byte program together with a 4K .com and .exe file. filling up the extra space with 0's, also making is visible when a file is infected.

    It goes without saying that I prefere a real AV program, but for detection viruses it was interesting. not perfect ;)

  15. Small virus catcher (for DOS) on Smallest Possible ELF Executable? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    in assembly: RET

    All this one byte program does is terminate execution. If it's infected by a virus you'll see soon enough if the size has increased.

    ofcourse with todays macroviruses this doesn't work anymore :(

  16. smart on Burn your genes on CD -- for $500,000 · · Score: 1

    but how will I realy see the quality of a 200 dpi monitor when that picture is only a small picture my 72 dpi monitor?

    If it wasn't 200 dpi monitor but only 100 dpi I probably couldn't see the difference.

    And those suckers who fall for it, also supply them with more e-mail addresses. Possibly yours too!

    So what do we do about it?
    1) Don't have suckers as friends.

    The right question is "Christ, how much CAN YOU MAKE them drink anyway?"

  25. One time e-mail addresses on Some Spammer Has a Crush on You · · Score: 3, Informative

    If some lame service requires you to supply them with an e-mail address, use a one-time address.
    Read is once for your password. If you start receiving spam you know the originator and can iglore that address.

    Spammotel provides in such a service. Also some providers allow you to use alias@your_name.your_isp.com, making it simple to track the origin of spam and making it easyer to filter (loveletter.com@my_name.my_isp.com)

    Hotmail serves the purpose of one-time accounts very well. How hard is it to forget about a hotmail account anyway?
