    That isn't any sort of encrypted text. It is simply a (pathetic) attempt of evading filters...

    According to http://www.qinetiq1.com/72hourclockframe.html - it is now planned to launch on 3rd september.... Not 2nd.

  11. Re:Security is a bogus reason on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 1

    No, it uses that random string as a seed; to stop replay attacks. For example:

    Server sends xSifoSpfjcSetrogjvixxXu, and knows users' password.

    Client sends back md5(xSifoSpfjcSetrogjvixxXu)

    Server compares - replay attacks avoided.

    Private key?
    I assume that you think that public key encryption is used here... I doubt it.

    A symmetric cipher would be used, i'd expect, (Where you use the same key for encryption as you do decryption) - such as rc4, blowfish, idea, des...

    So, as long as this key is never discovered, you're going to be pretty safe - assuming a good cipher is used, with a strong enough key length...

  16. Sampling? on Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure · · Score: 1

    This isn't a distributed webserver. It simply acts as a proxy server with a hardcoded destination host/port.

  22. I've noticed this... on NYT Reports Porn Spam Hijacking Network · · Score: 1, Interesting

    .. However, only the entry page was proxied (three A-Name entries for the domain - Cable/DSL addresses). URL's mentioned in spam will often point to these, though for heavier content (porn sites), only the initial page will be proxied. The domain listed in the spam message will often be very similar to the linked one from it (e.g. "thepornsite.com (==Proxy)" -> "pornsite.com (==real site, content)") Apparently this prevents most hosting companies/ISP's from shutting them down; and as mentioned in the article, the A-records for the proxy-domain are rotated regularly. A lot of money is paid for this illegal proxying "service" - approximately $500 a month, i've heard. The ones i've seen however, appear to be *nix boxes with SAMBA... though i didn't poke them too much. Thats quite unusual - windows is often a much easier target... But as these all had samba in common (139), i'd guess its a recent vulnerability in that...
