			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received confirmation from the Google Security Team that <a title="previously on blog.futtta.be: severe vuln. in igoogle facebook gadget" href="http://blog.futtta.be/2010/07/27/severe-vulnerability-in-igoogle-facebook-gagdet/">the <strong>bug</strong> I discovered in the iGoogle Facebook Gadget </a>which allowed attackers to <strong>log into an other user’s Facebook account</strong> bypassing all authentication, <strong>has been fixed</strong>. So now that the hole has been closed, let&#8217;s look at what was happening, shall we?</p>
<p>The gadget uses the <a title="Facebook Javascript API docs" href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/">Facebook&#8217;s Javascript API</a> to the connect with Facebook, asking you for permission to access your FB data. In the process of getting that <strong>authorization</strong>, the gadget exchanges <strong>tokens</strong> with Facebook, some of which should absolutely be kept safe from prying eyes. And that&#8217;s where things went wrong: the gadget had the <strong>authentication info in the URL</strong>. So if a user of the iGoogle Facebook gadget clicked <strong>a link</strong> to an external site in the news feed, the request for that page had a <strong>referrer that contained all authentication-info</strong>.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s exactly what happened on last week, when I spotted <strong>this referrer in my blog stats</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>http://facebookiggadget.appspot.com/?exp_rpc_js=1&amp;exp_track_js=1&amp;st=c%3Dig%26e%3DAPu7icpJzJJhOouS8TuGegSqFHHI8XHU1r55OllrNbk0ey/aTpkUFx9jPKB/cwgcEZoGfcBuc43x/CuzuEL2cQinYglFvhFWKtlXg6j/JtKC0%252BWsAu3vo/3ZR/WA64J/Fmw1YuUFgT7q&amp;v=fdb2b406636e1f3cff1c5d7e660f59eb&amp;container=ig&amp;view=home&amp;lang=nl&amp;country=BE&amp;<strong>up_session=%7B%22uid%22:%221165373488%22, %22session_key%22:%2291d52d2ed5a130fd941b11f1-1175373488%22, %22secret%22:%22fdee68961b3cdee5b51390a4bdeac7a0%22,%22expires%22:0, %22access_token%22:%2283101558C90fd9KfA9KJQh5uT98TqIjxQpzUi4.%22,<br />
%22sig%22:%22dd635ef67af1f59c1c671215076cce10%22%7D</strong>&amp;parent=http://google.be&amp;libs=7ndonz73vUA/lib/liberror_tracker.js,iHKb-4mKuMY/lib/librpc.js,vrFMICQBNJo/lib/libcore.js,a5j4V1JuNVE/lib/libsetprefs.js&amp;is_signedin=1&amp;synd=ig&amp;view=home</p></blockquote>
<p>You can guess what happened when I opened that URL; the <strong>iGoogle Facebook gadget initialized using the embedded credentials</strong>, automatically logging me in as the guy that was unlucky enough to have clicked the link to my blog.</p>
<p>But how could this vulnerability have been exploited, you may ask? Well, easy enough;   create a page that is viral enough for people to share or like  (<a title="likespam on itworld.com" href="http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/110608/one-more-thing-not-about-facebook-s-like-button">likespam</a> or even <a title="facebook clickjacking a.k.a. likejacking on pcworld.in" href="http://www.pcworld.in/news/facebook-compromised-clickjacking-attack">likejacking</a>)   and wait for users of the iGoolge Facebook-gadget (there&#8217;s over 1   million of them after all) to follow the links, feeding your webserver   logfiles with credential-rich referrers.</p>
<p>As Google confirmed this <strong>bug indeed has been fixed</strong>. The new version of the gadget, which was deployed late last week, does not leak credentials in the referrer-URL any more:</p>
<blockquote><p>http://facebookiggadget.appspot.com/?lang=en&amp;country=us&amp;.lang=en&amp;.country=us&amp;synd=ig&amp;mid=101&amp;ifpctok=6472409229927695377&amp;exp_rpc_js=1&amp;exp_track_js=1&amp;exp_ids=17259&amp;parent=http://www.google.com&amp;libs=7ndonz73vUA/lib/liberror_tracker.js,iHKb-4mKuMY/lib/librpc.js,vrFMICQBNJo/lib/libcore.js,a5j4V1JuNVE/lib/libsetprefs.js</p></blockquote>
<p>So if anyone asks me what my good deed for this year was; I helped protect 1 million people&#8217;s Facebook accounts from being hacked.</p>
<p>Sounds swell, no? <img src='http://blog.futtta.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>&#8230; dat als we &#8220;nee&#8221; zeggen, dat eigenlijk &#8220;ja&#8221; betekent<br />
&#8230; dat bezopen zijn een excuus is voor hun daden<br />
&#8230; dat hun maat te verontschuldigen is omdat &#8220;hij jong is&#8221;, &#8220;het niet goed met hem gaat&#8221; of omdat &#8220;hij niet gevaarlijk is&#8221;<br />

&#8230; dat wanneer we gemaquilleerd, in jurk of rok of met een décolleté rondlopen, we hen de toelating geven om ons op te vrijen en dat we daar dan niet over moet komen klagen<br />
&#8230; dat we publiek bezit zijn als we niet als koppel op straat komen<br />
&#8230; dat als we hen niet willen, dat is omdat we al &#8220;bezet&#8221; zijn (= bezit van een ander mannetje)<br />

&#8230; dat een seksuele relatie sowieso eindigt met penetratie en/of ejaculatie<br />
&#8230; dat ze ons beledigen door ons als feministe te behandelen</p>
<p>Aan iedereen die zich niet geviseerd voelt maar die het wel zou moeten zijn</p>
<p><strong>We schijten op jullie en het zal stinken!</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been <a title="how i found out about virtualbox" href="http://blog.futtta.be/2009/07/02/cause-im-free-to-do-what-i-want-any-old-time/">playing around with Virtualbox</a> over the last few days, trying to set it up just right for me. One of the hurdles was working around a bug in the 3.0.0 release that caused <strong>guests to crash when performing downloads</strong> in them. <a title="workaround as found in virtualbox forum" href="http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=19395#p83847">Changing the virtual network card from &#8220;PCnet-FAST III&#8221; to &#8220;Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop&#8221;</a> proved to be a good temporary solution, but <a title="virtualbox network freeze bug fixed in 3.0.2" href="http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4343">the bug got squashed in version 3.0.2</a>.</p>
<p>Next on my list was getting the &#8220;<strong>shared folder</strong>&#8220;, which I configured in Virtualbox (look ma, no samba), to automount in my Ubuntu-guest with read-write permissions for my non-root user. I ended up adding this line to /etc/fstab (the dmode and fmode-options did the trick eventually):</p>
<blockquote><p><a title="an easter-egg, an easter-egg!" href="http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/">teleporter</a> /home/frank/Desktop/teleporter vboxsf rw,dmode=777,fmode=777,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto 0 0</p></blockquote>
<p>And to wrap things up I also installed the <a href="https://labs.mozilla.com/projects/weave/">Mozilla Labs Weave-plugin</a>, which <strong>syncs a.o. bookmarks and passwords</strong> in Firefox between my 3 environments. It caused me some headaches at first, synchronizing just seemed to take forever and no error was shown in the frontend. But I found some obscure messages (things like &#8220;Exception caught from  onComplete handler of CryptoWrap__decrypt-57 generator&#8221;) in the verbose log and Google linked those to <a title="&quot;There is a bug in Weave, it doesn't verify the passphrase is correct before   using it, and you end up with errors like that.&quot;" href="http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-weave/browse_thread/thread/e99fc2cc78be2646/b9da502729127c2b">a post on the Weave Google Group which explained that the problem was with an incorrect &#8220;encryption passphrase&#8221;</a>. And sure enough Weave was syncing happily after once I re-entered my -too complex- passphrase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up until version 2.7.1, running <a title="Me bitching about the lack of proxy-support back in 2008" href="http://blog.futtta.be/2008/06/06/the-wordpress-on-an-intranet-nightmare/">WordPress on an intranet was a real pain in the ass</a>. It connects to the outside world to look for updates, to check comments for spam (using Akismet) or to fetch RSS-feeds for widgets if you configured those on your blog, &#8230; But as you typically don&#8217;t have direct internet-access on an intranet and as there was no way of letting WordPress know about a proxy, your blog timed out while it was trying to fsockopen those external sites.</p>
<p><a title="wordpress 2.8 baker is named after jazz trompettist Chet Baker, more on him on wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chet_Baker"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1813" title="chet baker" src="http://blog.futtta.be/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/chet_baker.jpeg" alt="chet baker" width="114" height="129" /></a>But that was yesterday, because the recently released <a title="wordpress 2.8 download" href="http://wordpress.org/download/">WordPress 2.8 &#8220;Baker&#8221;</a> (which is <a title="wp 2.8 features on codex.wordpress.org" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.8">chock-full of new features</a>) has support for internet-connections through a proxy, thanks to its great <a title="http api explained on codex.wordpress.org" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API">HTTP API</a>. Don&#8217;t bother looking for it in the admin-screens, you&#8217;ll need to configure the proxy-settings in your <a title="editing wp-config.php on codex.wordpress.org" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php">wp-config.php</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll have to add (values are examples which you&#8217;ll have to replace with settings for your environment off course):</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>define('WP_PROXY_HOST', '192.168.22.1');<br />
define('WP_PROXY_PORT', '9099');</code></p>
<p>If you need to authenticate to access the proxy you can add your credentials this way:
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>define('WP_PROXY_USERNAME', 'frank');<br />
define('WP_PROXY_PASSWORD', 's3cr3t');</code></p>
<p>You can also exclude requests for specific hosts from going through the proxy:
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>define('WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS', 'localhost, blog2.corpintranet');</code></p>
<p>And finally you can block all outgoing requests by default and add domains to a whitelist to only allow those to connect:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>define ('WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL', 'true');<br />
define ('WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS', 'api.wordpress.org, akismet.com');</code></p>
<p>Off course some WordPress-plugins do not use the HTTP API yet (e.g. <a title="wp lifestream plugin" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lifestream/">Lifestream</a> and <a title="wp security scan plugin" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-security-scan/">wp-security-scan</a> rely on <a title="great php feed-handling component" href="http://simplepie.org/">Simplepie</a>, which does not use the proxy-aware wp_remote_get-function), so you might have to be careful when installing plugins that need internet-access.</p>

Maar die euforie dateert alweer van een jaar geleden en nu blijkt dat ik de encyclopedie der encyclopedieën eigenlijk amper gebruikt heb. Dat ligt niet aan de RIA-achtige interface of aan het feit dat de content eerder onhandig wordt ontsloten. Nee, ik blijf stelselmatig naar het &#8220;minderwaardige&#8221; Wikipedia surfen omdat ik daar méér informatie vind over méér onderwerpen.</p>
<p>Precies daarom begrijp ik niet goed waarom <a title="deletionisme op meta.wikimedia.org" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deletionism">bepaalde</a> <a title="exclusionisme op meta.wikimedia.org" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Exclusionism">krachten</a> in de Wikipedia-gemeenschap <a title="blog.zog.org's michel over wikipedia-deletionisten. en ja, ik ben niet van de snelsten." href="http://blog.zog.org/2008/10/ik-haat-deletionisten.html">denken dat ze met EB moeten concurreren</a> door</p>
<blockquote><p>artikels op Wikipedia verwijderen [...] uit de één of andere overtuiging dat enkel het meest relevante van het meest relevante daarop moet komen, en dat alleen boeken, kranten en tijdschriften geldige bronnen van objectieve informatie zijn.</p></blockquote>
<p>Lang leve het <a title="Inclusionists focus on whether or not an article is factual, with merit, or useful" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism">Wikipedia-inclusionisme</a>! Dat gezegd zijnde ga ik nu mijn gratis abonnement op EB verlengen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While we&#8221;re waiting for the new <a title="earlier blogpost about FF3.1 on blog.futtta.be" href="http://blog.futtta.be/2008/12/23/firefox-31-mozilla-corps-answer-to-google-chrome/">Firefox 3.1</a> beta (which will probably be released on march 12th, after which <a title="firefox 3.1 becomes 3.5" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2009/03/06/shiretoko-to-be-named-firefox-35/">3.1 will become  3.5</a>), the Mozilla Labs guys <a title="aza announcing about:tab and asking feedback" href="http://labs.mozilla.com/2009/03/new-tab-page-proposed-design-principles-and-prototype/">announced</a> <a title="link to the plugin" href="https://people.mozilla.com/~dmills/abouttab/abouttab-latest.xpi">a prototype &#8220;about:tab&#8221; plugin</a>. It builds on the ideas <a title="august announcement of new tab funcionality" href="http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/new-tab-concepts/">they put forward on the labs-blog </a><a title="august announcement of new tab funcionality" href="http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/new-tab-concepts/">last august</a> and follows in the footsteps of what Opera and more recently Google Chrome and Safari 4 are doing, taking it up a notch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/azaraskin/3330022683/sizes/o/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1512" title="about:tab in firefox3.1 by aza raskin" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3587/3330022683_d38516eefe.jpg" alt="about:tab in firefox3.1b by aza raskin" width="350" height="214" /></a>After installing the plugin, a new tab will show you:</p>
<ul>
<li>the title and favicon of the most recently closed tab, allowing you to reopen it</li>
<li>a button containing the text in your copy/paste-buffer with contextual actions;
<ul>
<li>if URL: go to that site</li>
<li>if physical address: put it on a map</li>
<li>else: search for that text on google</li>
<li>more actions might be added and the system will be extensible, taking from <a title="blogpost about ubiquity on blog.futtta.be" href="http://blog.futtta.be/2008/08/27/ive-seen-the-browser-future-and-it-works/">Ubiquity</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>a list of six of your most visited sites, with thumbnail and title and with the most recent rss-items of that site</li>
</ul>
<p>Although the developers claim that it&#8217;s &#8220;a rough-cut prototype&#8221; and that &#8220;the visual design isn’t right&#8221;, I already prefer this sober and functionally rich new-tab-behavior over <a title="safari's top sites: eye candy" href="http://www.apple.com/safari/whats-new.html#topsites">the shiny &#8220;top sites&#8221; implementation in Apple&#8217;s Safari4</a>. I sure hope this will slip into Firefox 3.5 in the next few months!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://futtta.be/deredactie/index.html"><img class="alignright" title="deredactie journaalplayer" src="http://blog.futtta.be/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/journaal-player-300x161.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="161" /></a>Dju, m&#8217;n <a title="deredactie journaalplayer" href="http://futtta.be/deredactie/">journaalplayer</a> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">is</span> was kapot!</p>
<p>Dat heb je natuurlijk met <a title="eerder op deze blog: het journaal op deredactie.be" href="http://blog.futtta.be/2008/10/03/eindelijk-gevonden-het-journaal-op-deredactiebe/">spielereien op basis van ongedocumenteerde 3rd party xml-feeds</a>; als de bron wijzigt, dan werkt je webhackje ook niet meer. De <a title="de url van de oude feed" href="http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie/mediajournaal?mode=atom">atom-feed</a> die ik gebruikte, was <a title="videozone lancering op 13 januari" href="http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie/cultuur%2Ben%2Bmedia/1.449194">sinds de lancering van de videozone</a> (en de stille redesign) van deredactie immers niet meer beschikbaar.</p>
<p>Uit een snel testje bleek dat de nieuwe <a title="naar de deredactie videozone" href="http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie/mediatheek?mode=popupplayer">videozone</a> andere feeds (voor <a title="deredactie.be journaal-feed" href="http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie/mediatheek/programmas/2.3799?mode=atom">Journaal</a> en <a title="deredactie terzake-feed" href="http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie/mediatheek/programmas/2.3800?mode=atom">Terzake</a>) gebruikt. Die feeds bevatten zowel entries voor de integrale afleveringen van de afgelopen dagen als voor alle individuele fragmenten uit die verschillende edities. Aangezien een entry in de ATOM-file evenwaardig is aan elke andere entry, wordt de relatie tussen die verschillende entries dan maar in de comments in de XML meegegeven. Of hoe XML ook gestructureerde rommel kan zijn.</p>
<p>Maar aangezien er op deredactie nog altijd geen grote knop &#8220;Bekijk hier het Journaal&#8221; staat, omdat een kat zijn jongen niet terugvindt in de <a title="videozone" href="http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie/mediatheek?mode=popupplayer">videozone</a> en vooral omdat ik het niet leuk vind als mijn speledingetjes niet meer werken, heb ik één en ander toch aangepast aan de nieuwe feeds (waarbij ik op basis van de titel de individuele fragmenten van de meest recente aflevering uit de ATOM-feed filter).</p>
<p><a title="deredactie journaalplayer" href="http://futtta.be/deredactie/">Hoera, m&#8217;n journaalplayer werkt dus terug</a>.</p>
