Time Names You Person of the Year: Millions of People Trip Getting on Stage

So Time magazine announced the person of the year, and it is “You” as you have probably noticed. This just goes to show that anyone can get on a magazine these days. Remember Craprr? Did we all forget that most of the user-generated content out there is terrible? That society is being degraded into soundbytes and lip-syncing videos? Well then I shall have to remind you.

Patch for Host Overflow Application eXception

I have crafted a simple Wordpress plugin to patch the Host Overflow Application eXception vulnerability. The vulnerability enabled me to take advantage of an unchecked buffer to post blog entries. It really is a simple fix, but I’ve encrypted the plugin contents so it is harder for people to exploit it.

The patch has been tested on the latest version of Wordpress, but I think it should work in 1.5 as well. Let me know if you believe your blog software is at risk and I will look into it.

Once the plugin is installed and activated you should see a notification box in your Wordpress admin console.

Download the Plugin

Update: Download link updated to work correctly

iBlogthere4iMHacked: How I Hijacked Randy Morin’s blog

Randy Charles Morin operates a fairly popular blog and services such as Rmail. I noticed some issues with his blog the other day that led me to believe he could be vulnerable to having it hijacked. I tested this theory and as you can see here it is quite vulnerable.

I was able to exploit a buffer overflow in his implementation of RSS in order to insert my own content. I also gained administrative privileges to his blog through another method I discovered. He really shouldn’t have made it so easy for me. I’m trying to be as vague as possible so as not to leave him open to more attacks from others, but I won’t be so generous.

And to those new visitors: Welcome. Take a look around.
