  1. Re:What should be done. on Firefox Greasemonkey Extension Security Problem · · Score: 1

    The point of my instructions were so that right after you allow that site (I assumed you did it by clicking the button on the little bar that pops up) you could go and disable it.

    You're right, it would be infinitely better if we could do a one-time allow, but that functionality isn't currently there. There might be an extension, though :)

  2. Re:More details on the exploit... on Firefox Greasemonkey Extension Security Problem · · Score: 1
    Running a Greasemonkey script with "@include *" (which, BTW, is the default if no parameter is specified) can expose the contents of every file on your local hard drive to every site you visit.
    So don't let your scripts use that include. Just set it to only the trusted sites it was intended for, it probably doesn't work anything else anyways. Also don't use any scripts that do net-wide things like adblocking, use a separate extension for those because it's more customizeable and it doesn't have problems like this.

    Open up the options/preferences menu. Windows, I think it's Tools - Options, for Linux, I think it's Edit - Preferences. Click on the "Web Features" icon on the left. There'll be a line that says "Allow sites to install software" or something similar. Click the "Allowed Sites" button on the right to access the whitelist. You can add/remove sites from there.

  16. Re:Are the passwords saved as plain text? on Firefox Community Site Hacked · · Score: 1
    Well, I've seen a few things about generating passwords that make the same MD5 hash, but aren't the real password. I guess they could do that, but that wouldn't give them access to the actual password unless they were lucky, and other accounts that didn't use MD5 the same authentication would be safe.

    But if MD5 is truly irreversible, and just has a few numbers that can generate each hash, the I figured for passwords they'd do something more like this:
    1. Gnereate MD5 hash of the password
    2. Append that to the end of the password
    3. Generate a new MD5 hash of that and store it in the passwords file
    That way, even if someone access the passwords file, they can only get something that generates the last MD5 hash. When they use it in the login form, it won't work like the real password because you need to get through the second step, which a fake password would be very unlikely to do.

  25. Re:NO!! on Best Setup for Mapping in Undeveloped Countries? · · Score: 1
    That being said, I don't know what the OP was planning to do with a compass for mapping villages anyway: a compass doesn't tell you where you are, it only tells you what direction you're facing.
    Obviously, you were never a boy scout. You can use a compass and a contour map of the area to determine almost exactly where you are. And since every inch of the planet (well, maybe square mile) has had a heightmap or at least an image made of the terrain by satellite, it shouldn't be hard to find one less than 40 years old for the location he will be in. He can use a compass to triangulate from two or more landmarks (mountain tops, clearings, lakes, etc tend not to change within 40 years) and then estimate where he is on the map, and take lat & longe from there.

    Of course, if the resolution is high enough, the villages are probably visible from satellite too.
