• Dropbox authentication: insecure by design

  For the past several days I have been focused on understanding the inner workings of several of the popular file synchronization tools with the purpose of finding useful forensics-related artifacts that may be left on a system as a result of using these tools. Given the prevalence of Dropbox, I decided that it would be one of the first synchronization tools that I would analyze, and while working to better understand it I came across some interesting security related findings. The basis for this finding has actually been briefly discussed in a number of forum posts in Dropbox’s official forum (here and here), but it doesn’t quite seem that people understand the significance of the way Dropbox is handling authentication. So, I’m taking a brief break in my forensics-artifacts research, to try to shed some light about what appears to be going on from an authentication standpoint and the significant security implications that the present implementation of Dropbox brings to the table.

Molte di queste iniziative sono gestite in modo semplicemente primordiale su Internet: non si riescono a trovare le informazioni di base (chi fa cosa e dove), non si riesce a comunicare con gli organizzatori, non si riesce a trovare un minimo di materiale per pubblicizzare l’iniziativa, ci sono venti diversi siti web che dichiarano di essere la stessa cosa e che fanno cose diverse. Insomma, è veramente dura. Qui di seguito riporto qualche consiglio utile per chiunque voglia organizzare una iniziativa sociale o politica su Internet. Speriamo che qualcuno lo legga…

Firma digitale

• Movimento CostoZero – CopyZero – All Rights Digitalized

  Il diritto d'autore comprende il diritto morale d'autore (in primis, il diritto alla paternità intellettuale) e il diritto allo sfruttamento economico dell'opera. In molti casi, quest'ultimo diritto non si concretizza in alcun guadagno patrimoniale (se non per l'ente che ne garantisce la tutela a pagamento, la SIAE): la condizione di chi paga la SIAE e riceve compensi è ben diversa da quella di chi paga la SIAE e non riceve compensi. Molte persone, infatti, non sono inserite in un contesto di mercato e al tempo stesso non possono permettersi di versare o di versare frequentemente certe somme per la tutela del copyright (per il deposito di un'opera SIAE chiede al non iscritto 110 euro). Copyzero è un modo per tutelare il diritto d'autore ad un costo prossimo allo zero (0,36 euro), un modo per garantire a tutti, innanzitutto, un diritto della persona.

This makes the network very difficult to censor, as an attacker's direct access to the network is limited. As Galet features tunneling, it can also be used as a very easy to set-up VPN. Galet is written in C++/Qt, and has been tested under Linux and Windows.

• Sidebars in WordPress

  Over the past few months, I’ve seen the code for hundreds of WordPress themes. I’ve seen some beautiful code and some downright nasty code. One thing that I’ve seen more often than not is the same few lines for handling sidebars. This is code from 2007 and most likely copy-pasted from older WordPress themes. I just wanted to clue an extremely large portion of the theme development community in on a little secret: sidebars have been a part of WordPress core and have seen some updates over the last three years. With that in mind, I’m going to walk you through the steps of creating and using sidebars for WordPress themes. Maybe you’ll even pick up on some things you didn’t know about. The goal is to teach theme developers how to properly register sidebars and end this cycle of using outdated code.

  Inside of WordPress are several of JavaScript libraries available, you can use them easily and you don’t need an extra Theme or Plugins. Also, this is the recommended approach to enable libraries , so they won’t be loaded more than once. Some notes on these two topics can be found in the article Use JavaScript Libraries In And Of WordPress.
  But from time to time you need something specific, so I have some code snippets for you in this post now. And I particularly want to show some examples with jQuery. Many Themes and Plugins using jQuery and it is pretty easy to work with jQuery. In principle, these hooks and calls also apply to your own scripts and other libraries.

• Design Better And Faster With Rapid Prototyping – Smashing Magazine

  In an iterative approach to user interface design, rapid prototyping is the process of quickly mocking up the future state of a system, be it a website or application, and validating it with a broader team of users, stakeholders, developers and designers. Doing this rapidly and iteratively generates feedback early and often in the process, improving the final design and reducing the need for changes during development.

• WordPress Theme Tip: Force an Image Size » Otto on WordPress

  Image sizing is always a problem for themes. Theme designers want their theme to be pixel perfect in all cases, but WordPress wants the user to have some form of control. With image sizes, WordPress lets the user pick the size of their image thumbnails and so forth. In that case, using those becomes problematic for certain places in the theme which need pre-defined image sizes.
  Here’s the quick and easy solution: add_image_size. This function lets you create custom image sizes that can be used by your theme. Plugins can do the same sort of things, of course, but this really comes in more useful as a theme developer’s tool.

• Mark Jaquith: New in WordPress 2.9: Post Thumbnail Images at Your vBulletin Resource The Staff Lounge

  Many WordPress themes, especially those with “magazine-like” layouts, use an image to represent each post. It might just be on the front page. It might be alone, or alongside an excerpt. Until now, there was no standardized way to do this. Many themes would require you to tediously enter a Custom Field with the value being the URL you wanted to use. Often you had to do cropping yourself. With WordPress 2.9, theme authors can easily enable Post Thumbnail selection UI and call those image using simple template tags.
