Somn putin, dush rapid revigorant. Nemancat (nu-I o problema), necafeinizat (un pic de problema, viciu placut tatuat pe rutina mea matinala de noptile de ros cursuri la poli) - bag viteza pe autostrada. Se pare ca am zburat suficient de jos incat nu m-a luat nici un radar.

Mi-am parcat masina la parcarea aeroportului - o mina de aur pentru posesorii afacerii (ca si Dali in Bucuresti de altfel, dar despre Dali va spune mai multe Badea zis Fratili-tau), jaf pe fatza pentru client 3 metri patrati costand 11 auroi pe noapte. Bai, astia cu parcarile tind din ce in ce mai mult sa se asemene cu peshtii traficanti de femei - si la preturi si la tipurile serviciilor oferite (una scurta, una pe toata noaptea, etc. - la parcari ma refer, depinde ce si unde parchezi )

I like the idea of shoe attack… It is simple, yet so powerful… Unharmful, but devastating… People rising in a whole country because of a pair of size-10 shoe…

I find it very illustrative, so that I decided to make myself a so-much-meaningful T-Shirt. If you need large scale prints to make your T-Shirt, drop me an email and we’ll manage.

“Trainspotting”

“Choose life”

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?

In an older post I have been trying to figure out how to make the T-Mobile’s Sidekick prepaid plan to work with iPhone - without success, but with some useful info.

Now, basically it’s reportedly possible to have Sidekick plans (both prepaid and contract) on iPhone, given the following are satisfied:

1. You have a Sidekick plan activated for your SIM and you use hiptop.t-mobile.com as APN in the Settings->General->Network->EDGE of your iPhone
2. You have changed you iPhone’s IMEI (BEWARE: it’s illegal) to match a Sidekick device IMEI.

Now, how to know a Sidekick device’s IMEI or IMEI pattern (just for informational/education purposes on topic of IMEIs):

1. Buy a Sidekick device or borrow a device from a friend - I think this is the easiest, though the most expensive (price-convenience trade-off)
2. Search Google - you will be suprised how many people openly and desperately are posting their devices’ IMEIs
3. Generate an IMEI - just look for Advanced IMEI Generator keeping in mind Sidekick devices have Type Allocation Number (TAC - this is publicly available information) something like: 01016000, 01019000, etc. - just search entire TACs list for yourself if you are interested.

WARNING: Changing IMEI is illegial (at least the claims are like this - learn your country LEGALese language) in many countries. Check your country if you are “elligible” too. Do this on your own risk. I am not responsible on what you do with IMEI of your phones/iPhones.

At present, the only iPhone exploit software I have seen that supports IMEI change function is ZiPhone.

I wasn’t quite interested in actually changing my IMEI, but rather in seeing the way it is done.

First, I have backed-up my original IMEI (and all other stuff displayed in Settings->General->About) and then tried simply:

Code:

The IMEI “0101010101010101″ above is just illustrative example, in practice I have used a valid IMEI. You can also try searching for Advanced IMEI Generator.

After several times of retrying, it didn’t work and I wanted to see why. Basically, what I have found in ziphone.cpp is that this command-line argument simply sends the following command to the zibri.dat ramdisk environment:

Code:

The same result you could have achieved by:

• using iBooter and using the same command as above
• using your iPhone with this command (in MobileTerminal or SSH console for example PuTTY)
  

  Code:

  nvram imei="0101010101010101"

However, this (NVRAM or flash) is just a temporary location in the environment where the IMEI is stored and from where it is taken for subsequent phases of the ZiPhone ramdisk.

So this is why just using the “-i 0101010101010101″ command is not enough for changing IMEI (or is it because my iPhone was already unlocked and subsequent phases

Now, the ZiPhone ramdisk has a profile.sh script, which mainly does this:

Code:

It has 3 gunlock files, which are likely geohot’s gunlock.c modifications, but without any source distributed (Zibree - gunlock.c was released by geohot with GPL - release the sources!)

• gunlock2 - is likely the gunlock for OTB 4.6 1.1.2 (gets ICE04.02.13_G.fls), modified to support IMEI change feature
• gunlock3 - is likely the gunlock for OTB 4.6 1.1.3 (gets ICE04.03.13_G.fls), modified to support IMEI change feature
• gunlock4 - is likely the gunlock for OTB 4.6 1.1.4 (gets ICE04.04.05_G.fls and seckpack114), modified to support IMEI change feature

I am having iPhone OTB 1.1.2 with BL 4.6, and it was unlocked by geohot’s original gunlock (using iClarified tutorial and repository, even though it can be done manually given you have binary gunlock - see attached zip archive), so I was interested first in gunlock2 and gunlock2.c source code (which is nowhere to be found… Zibree - release the GPLed sources!)

Spent one day, got an approximation of gunlock2.c by reverse engineering it and parallel comparison with gunlock.c. Happily, gunlock2.c (and perhaps gunlock3.c and gunlock4.c) are based on geohot’s original gunlock.c and is not very much modified, so execution blocks and logic can be compared even in disassembled views.

Basically, for 1.1.2 OTB BL 4.6 the steps to change IMEI without ZiPhone would be (use at your OWN risk and responsability, since gunlock2 as stated in gunlock2_zveriu_RevEng.c has potential problems):

1. Get gunlock2 binary (either from ZiPhone zibri.dat ramdisk, either from the archive below)
2. Get ICE04.02.13_G.fls (either from ZiPhone zibri.dat ramdisk, either from Georghe Zhu’s baseband page)
3. Get secpack for 1.1.2 (either from ZiPhone zibri.dat ramdisk, either from Georghe Zhu’s secpack page)
4. Put files gunlock2, ICE04.02.13_G.fls, secpackinto your iPhone’s /usr/bin and then:
   

   Code:

   	/bin/chmod 777 /usr/bin/gunlock2
   	/bin/chmod 777 /usr/bin/ICE04.02.13_G.fls
   	/bin/chmod 777 /usr/bin/secpack
   	/bin/launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
   	/bin/sleep 5
   	/usr/bin/gunlock2 /usr/bin/secpack /usr/bin/ICE04.02.13_G.fls <16digitsIMEI>
   	/bin/sleep 10
   	/bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

5. NOTE: if your IMEI is 15 digits long, prefix it with a 0. Example: your IMEI is 987654321012345, you should pass it as 0987654321012345 (at least in Zibree’s gunlock2/gunlock3/gunlock4 implementations)

It is always interesting to find out other “incarnations” of yourself, be it a twin-looking individual, be it a similar-named individual…

I have found several similar-named individuals, though I like most the below two coincidences

• Andrei Costin - International Product Manager at Ubisoft (Romania) - the company I have worked back in 2005-2006 for the software package “Webcam Station Evolution”
• Andrei Kostin - is the Chairman and CEO VTB Bank, member of the Boards of Directors of OJSC “Rosneft", OJSC “Sovkomflot” and OJSC “United Aircraft Building Corporation", President of the Russian Sport Gymnastics Federation, one of Russia’s most influential business leaders and is close to the Russian President Vladimir Putin personally

UPDATE (26-10-2008): a newer post related to this

I am for a short period in USA. So I was looking at some prepaid GSM SIM cards and the most attractive for me was T-Mobile’s prepaid service. From those, I’ve chosen for some reasons Prepaid SideKick plan, which (not surprisingly, as it is states in the presentation of the plan) is working ONLY on SideKick device for the data traffic, voice is fine.

I was basically looking for a way to use this plan on my iPhone. For the SideKick plans, the APN to be used is for sure hiptop.t-mobile.com - only this APN seems to communicate/process something with the network, any other APN will NOT work and will give you on iPhone “Could not activate EDGE".

However, this APN implementation has some kind of software check that is allowing only SideKick devices to route data thru it.

I was able to get IP address and DNS IP address for the EDGE interface of iPhone, but no pinging/routing was availabe, not even to the proxies mentioned in other blogs nor pinging/routing of DNS IP addresses it have gotten from the network.

Since the EDGE interface is not having a MAC associated (someone, correct me if I am wrong. I have checked it also with ifconfig from iPhone terminal). Having no MAC, what are the other information the APN software/hardware could use to identify and permit only SideKick devices. Could it be IMEI? If it is IMEI, then IMEI change utility for iPhone would do the job - but we need IMEI patterns for SideKick devices. If it is anything else, what is it?

Here are some logs which I got from iPhone’s BB dump (baseband, GSM processor, whatever you call it):

mail.md hack

It was back in 2004 when I was still at UPB and waiting to get final interviews with Ubisoft Romania. Had some spare time and also got interest in mail.md security research after having previously attempted to find security holes in it without too much luck.

At the same time, I saw the below post from k0t about his research on this topic:
Xakep Online > Читаем чужие письма на Mail.md

Few days intensive testing and got the script working. Since then, just beautified and commented it properly. The attack would have involved:

• social engineering - sending the victim a fake email with FROM: as let’s say admin@mail.md and asking with very convincing reasons to click-open the attached HTML. Anyway almost any mail sent from HTML-like web-mail (yahoo, etc) got into mail.md with a file attachment like part2.html (possibly because it didn’t have proper HTML processing in place)
• gathering sufficient mail addresses to make it a mass attack - got with various mail collecting (crawling the HTML pages and parsing all *@mail.md text) and probing (SMTP probing with bruteforce or dictionary based generators) tools (MailOMatic and alike) nearly 3000 mail addresses for mail.md
• automating the fake mailing with tools like Mail Bomber - never got to that point, even though I had everything in place (mail addresses, working script, Mail Bomber and alike tools)

Recently, some script kiddie revived the dead here:
mail.md или читаем письма молдован

Here is an archive with files: Mail.md hack script (working back in 2004-2005)

Now, this attack is not working because:

• it moved from CGI-BIN to some kind of PHP engine
• they fixed the design so that changing the secret question/answer or password requires the old password, which we actually don’t know and don’t want to know/bruteforce

However, they have kept most of the URL encoding of actions, sessions and folders, so they didn’t get rid of the old engine totally likely. Also, they had some stack problems with the old CGI-BIN, but I cannot recall or find any notes on how to reproduce them…

That’s for now. And as a final note - Security - is an ongoing process, not a final goal.

PROLOG

Destul de recent am fost implicat intr-un proiect in Romania la un mare client mare care, din cate am observat dupa sigla si postere prin sedii, este “Mare donator de picatura de sange” (get my point?).

Proiectul implica Portarea Numerelor sau Portabilitatea Numerelor care, posibil stiti deja, intra in vigoare prin lege in Romania din 21 Octombrie 2008 (desi nici un operator nu prea e pregatit 100% pentru a suporta aceasta portabilitate, deci cam din 2009 va fi suportat 100% conform cerintelor ANRCTI).

Portabilitatea numerelor telefonice este un serviciu destinat utilizatorilor de telefonie care permite acestora sa isi pastreze acelasi numar de telefon atunci cand devin abonati ai altor furnizori.

Portabilitatea la Vodafone
Portabilitatea la Orange

IDEEA IN SINE

In timpul liber pe langa proiect in acea perioada, ma gandeam “Oare cum ar face publicitate operatorii?". Asa m-am gandit la un concept publicitar/de marketing pentru PORTAbilitatea numerelor TELEfonice - telePORTAREA sau TELEportarea (sau orice alta reprezentare grafica mai sugestiva la adresa celor doi termeni principali).

O publicitate tipica/caracteristica pentru operatorii din Romania ar suna/arata cam asa:
“
Esti gata de telePORTARE?
telePORTEAZA-te acum in reteaua PRICHINDEL prin noul serviciu de portabilitate a numerelor si:

• beneficiezi de 1 luna convorbiri la 1 euro_cent/minut in orice retea [SAU insert bullshit marketing attractor]
• esti mai aproape de toti prietenii tai PRICHINDEI, care iti stiu vechiul numar si pe care acum poti sa-l pastrezi oricand si oriunde
• un discount la loc de veci la Belu - asta pentru ca iti poti pastra numarul pe vecie

“

Eventual concepte de servicii prin SMS/VOCE la numere scurte gen *PORT (adica *7678) de genul:

• interogare daca un numar este portat
• etc.

EPILOG

Cineva mi-a zis ca ideea e fainuta, dar neavand access la canalele respective catre operatori sau catre agentiile de publicitate, e foarte putin probabil sa o pot realiza/vinde/etc. Asa ca o public aici - poate ma baga si pe mine cineva in seama (sau poate in origini).

Disclaimer: Conceptul de publicitate/marketing “telePORTAREA ©” legat de portabilitatea numerelor telefonice imi apartine. Orice utilizare fara permisiunea sau acordul meu expres in scopuri publicitare legate de portabilitatea numerelor telefonice se considera o incalcare a legii.

Recent cica m-au sunat aia de la Sony-Ericsson Romania. Astia stiu sa ma prinda doar cand sunt plecat din Cipru in State unde fie am probleme cu roamingul, fie am costuri de roaming de-mi sparge banda magnetica la card…

Am reusit (cu mare greu - mdea :-S) sa-mi iau un prepaid in USA - stupid, trist, frustrant, dar ADEVARAT… in SUA nu poti sa cumperi un SIM prepaid de la orice chiosc cum se face in Cipru, Romania, Moldova - na, adica tzari de lumea a doua si a treia cum se spune…

Dupa lungi proceduri de luat IMEI de la telefon, luat date personale de pe driver’s license in sfarsit am numar de americoshi (temporar desigur). Bine ca nu mi-au luat amprente si scan dupe retina ochiului. Puii mei parca m-ar fi arestat si nu vandut un kko de SIM. Yo brother, it’s the BigBrother =))

Offtopic. Ghicitoare: statul Maryland unde sunt e abreviat MD, carnetul de conducere din Moldova are numar MDAxxxxxx. Intrebare: ce intreaba americanul de rand care lucreaza in service si iti ia date din driver’s license (fie ca e firma de telecom, fie ca e firma de inchiriat masinin, etc)? Raspuns: Ohh sir, you have a Maryland State Department driver’s license!!! (???). Concluzie: trebuie sa-mi mai fac ceva permise de conducere prin tari necivilizate care sa aiba numere gen FBIxxxxxx sau NSAxxxxxx.

IDEEA IN SINE

In principiu nu sunt un cautator activ de job, dar e mereu bine de stiut ce cauta si ce ofera piata . Astia m-au gasit singuri. Astia adica Ericsson Romania cat si o agentie de recrutare Intelsol. Multa insistenta din partea amandurora. E si de inteles, pentru ca aveau un proiect urgent si ghici ce - nu gaseau oameni hahhah (Romanica, “Viitorul suna bine"?!?!).

Fix la 8 dimineata (diferenta de fus) m-au sunat (macar m-au trezit din somn - tot e un serviciu numai bun cand te culci la 2 noaptea, damn mzfk).
Cautau evident sclavi , ca na:

• unu - e mare corporatie
• doi - e filiala a unei corporatii in Romania, iar dupa cum stim in Romania micul corporatist in devenire e gata de sclavie oarba numai sa fie perceput ca fiind tare de ceilalti…

Ce ofereau (asta mi se pare cel mai haios din toata povestea asta ):

• card de sanatate la centrul medical Unirea - wow, chiar? bine ca nu imi interzic sa fiu sanatos, ca oricum prin lege sunt obligati sa aiba toti angajatii asigurati. Macar daca imi spunea ca e o asigurare pe o suma X (X>1000 EUR) pe an pentru serviciile medicale A, B, C care sunt 100% decontabile, etc. Asa - toata lumea are carduri la toate porcarille. Si ce? Se simte mai sanatoasa sau mai protejata?
• leptop, mobil si card internet 3Ge/GiPiArEs - ce cool as fi, as putea sa ma dau pa net (cu pronuntia si diacriticele de rigoare va rog) cand vreau eu si sa ma rasfat cu leptopul de firma cand stau la un bar, cafenea, restaurant cu prietenii in oras, totusi ce cool as fi… aaaa, era sa uit - era o steluta din aia mica si invizibila - leptopul, mobilul si internetul mobil sint pentru fiecare din alea 2 saptamani din 4 in care trebuie sa fii disponibil 24/7 pentru suport. adica nu sa lucrezi 24/7, ci doar sa fii disponibil. si desi tanti incerca sa ma convinga ca e doar faza de disponibilitate si ca in realitate nu apar prea des probleme la care sa te vrea clientul in toiul noptii (poate exact in momentul in care tu vrei pe altcineva si acel/acea altcineva chiar se lasa vrut - asta ca sa ma exprim in termenii de constrangere CNA in stilul lui Badea =)) ), din propria experienta de 2 ani stiu ca: clientul fie e prost, fie e mofturos, fie amandoua SI e gata sa te suna 24/7 si pentru simplul fapt ca softul tau ii da cu un cent/ban mai putin pe factura decat trebuie…
• bonuri de masa - dat fiind faptul ca un bon de masa e vreo 8.31 lei, iar un pranz (nu pun si micul dejun si cina) cat de cat ok in cazul in care ai o cantina in sediul luminoasei corporatii este vreo 20-25 lei, ar trebui sa-ti dea vreo 3 bonuri pe zi doar pentru pranz, adica vreo 60-70 bonuri pe luna de munca. Hmmm, ma cam indoiesc ca-ti dau astia atatea bonuri. Plus ca mai vrei sa rontzai ceva in timpul zilei. Inteleg daca ziceau mancare asigurata all-day-long la birou - mai era un beneficiu atractiv
• cam atat, s-au terminat beneficiile…

Le-am dat un email in care le ziceam cam ce salariu m-ar motiva ca sa revin in Romania de la job meu curent (sa zicem ca le-am zis ceva in jur de ~3000EUR)… Nu au mai dat nici un semn, au fost ca si un OZN - nevazut, neauzit.

Cred ca i-am jignit cu nesimtirea mea de IT-ist needucat ce sunt - sa cer atatia bani pentru cunostintele pe care le posed si pe care le pot oferi, ei neoferindu-mi nimic.

Banii aia (~3000EUR) pot sa zic ca sunt aproape minimul la care m-as atepta in Romania din considerentele de mai jos:

• o masina in Romania e vreo 5-6 mii, in Cipru imi iau una bine mersi cu 2-3 mii
• in Romania ca sa ajung la o mare/munte tre sa induri multe, sa ai servicii nashpa si sa dai o caruta de bani pe ele (nu mai zic de marea NEAGRA ) - deci iti trebuie ceva bani in plus pentru un concediu normal
• o chirie in Bucuresti ajunge la vreo 400-600EUR doar pentru un apartament cu 1 sau 2 camere, pe cand in Cipru poti sa inchiriezi cu 700EUR un apartament cu 3 dormitoare, adica 4 camere si doua bai
• si tot asa mai departe…

Cam asta e cu joburile in Romania la marile corporatii… Fabrica de sclavi doritori sa ajunga repede pe varfurile piramidei )…

Some time back I sent an email to Alex Jones’s Infowars communication center. It was related to Internet2 and the corporate threats. I am not claiming that this mail gave the impulse for the below videos, but I feel somehow involved in these videos :). The mail is at the end of the post.

One alert sign for present days - the mainstream corporate news directly show the link between LHC, Internet2 and CERN. How the fuck LHC was developed 10 years without anyone in the public domain knowing anything about it till this year’s march and now it’s heading to direct (publicly doubted) experiment? Are we missing some pieces of the puzzle?

Other related movies to follow - highly recommended. I am NOT saying nor promoting that 2012 is the real year of the Internet end, but the whole mess raises some suspicions:

Many, many, actually a manyfinity of blog-posts and opinions about recent mass Apple addiction. It’s like people can’t get enough apples. Where they “eating” only “vegetables” all these years? I will not reiterate the idea that can be seen here and here and many other places.

What I want to put in light is a simple comparison. Nowadays you can see the Apple stores overcrowded. It’s like a mass hypnosis, a sense of all-so-waited sense of freedom. It’s like the 90’s in my country (from exUSSR) and neighboring ones.

Those times, people got sick of communism which they called a slavery. This is a parallel to Microsoft for the recent years. And then people rushed head-ahead to democracy, blinded by the sense of freedom, never wanting and waiting to see that there is a slavery in democracy itself - just another flavor and more fancy-boxed. It’s the same with Apple – people blindly follow the sense of freedom they have about Apple (based on supposition of Open Software ideology behind the Apple initial philosophy), not seeing the closed boxes into which they sell themselves to Apple (iPhone 3G, players, DRMs, etc.). All this turnover of open-Apple into slavery-Apple – it’s all because of the money. This is the same as discredited democracy by money-greed of Enron, BlackWater Corp, Helliburton and alike.

If taking a conspiracy perspective and thinking lunatic way, here are some thoughts. Behind all big corporations (who aim your money and freedoms and whose goals are to make you dependent on them and sell yourself to them metaphorically speaking) are usually and mainly the same persons and circle of interests. It doesn’t matter who is today ruling the masses – as long as they keep the people mind’s busy. Yesterday it was Microsoft with their PC and Win, which separated each individual into it’s own social cell, who prefer to date virtually rather than trying to socialize in a park for example. It may have distracted masses minds from essential things like Federal Reserve Bank being a private corporation and things alike. Today is Apple with their highly addictive, nearly hypnotizing and entertainment-oriented devices. Entertainment is good, but with limits, because as someone once said “This country is a fucking amusement park”. Tomorrow it can be Google, which is being prepared now and every single second now for it’s social-center-command-and-control-point. It’s all about your money, your freedom and your mind.

And for the end – don’t get me all wrong. I am not saying technology and it’s advancement is bad. It is a wonderful thing. The problem is it’s final and real use, it’s way of being delivered and the way it acts and affects people and societies.

Just my two cents…

I have waited bit of a time to finally install a document viewer which would open documents (especially PDFs) and would sense iPhone’s rotating to take advantage of it’s larger reading horizontal line.

WildEyes! application didn’t seem a very good option since it also wanted:
- lighthttpd - a lightweight http server/daemon
- Safari file:// patch

So, right on time Boss created an alternative Docs application. It didn’t require lighthttpd, but:
- it required Safari file:// patch
- from the Installer repository XML, only version 1.3 and 1.4 are supported to install

So, it left only with the manual option.

1. Downloaded Boss repository XML.
2. In the XML from above, found and manually downloaded Docs 1.14 zip.
3. Unzip the above archive Docs.app into /Application folder on your iPhone (use WinScp or alike as you prefer).
4. For some reason, in the Tweaks categories are present only MobileSafari file:// patches for 1.1.1, 1.1.3 and 1.1.3 - WTF?! 1.1.2 is not a humble human or what?
5. Anyhow, some good people followed George Zhu’s blog and created a 1.1.2 patch version for MobileSafari. Download here - http://rapid$hare.com/files/95711418/MobileSafari.html. Found on this forum.
6. In /Applications folder of your iPhone, find MobileSafari.app. Inside, find MobileSafar binary executable file. Make a backup of it (on iPhone or on your local PC) and then put in MobileSafari.app the one from the archive downloaded above at point 5.
7. Enjoy your reading! Knowledge is light …

Here are some screenshots:
- happy one

iPhone Docs Safari 1.1.2 patched - PDF loaded

- fuck it - now you have to split some nice PDFs in chunks…

iPhone Docs Safari 1.1.2 patched - page too large

A nice experiment done with some pomelo “shell”
Explanation would be - it is because of the ethers and citrus oils.

… sau cum sa-i f*ti pumni webmasterului de sa-i spargi toate bannerele din gura

o stare de frustrare pentru ca nu poti citi ca un om normal un site, un ziar, un “ceva” pe plaiul mioritic al internetului romanesc. de fapt ce ma enerveaza cel mai mult este faptul ca aceste flash-bannere zgomotoase se intind ca o raie incurabila pe tot ecranul. as prefera sa fie pop-upuri, ca tot deja am atat eu cat si browserul imunitate la ele…

Iritatii de la bannere

mai degraba imi vine sa-i zic webmasterului si designerului:

“fraiere, am iritatii de la bannerele tale mai mult decat de la tot barbieritul vietii mele insumat la un loc!”

just my 2cents

I use to watch Badea’s show “In gura presei” kindly provided as a recorded streaming on antena1.ro

While listening to the stream, I could not resist checking the site design, functionality and of course it’s security.

And voila - it seems that streaming archive section of antena1.ro is XSS-reflection vulnerable.

antena1.ro XSS hack

First part article showing ejobs.ro security weaknesses is here

Now we continue with a XSS-with-DNS experiment.

First, it allows as a *feature* for the users to create some kind of subdomains on ejobs.ro which get linked to either Romanian or English version of the CV. Even though it looks like a cool feature, it wasn’t given a thought:

• from security perspective (DNS is sinful as Dan Kaminsky shown countless times)
• other perspectives (subdomain indexing proven by Alex Drambulco to hit badly google page-rank algorithm moving traffic to specially crafted sites)

Now to the experiment part . ejobs.ro and bestjobs.ro are two competing HR/Recruitment firms (at least they pose themselves on the market like this - who knows, maybe the same shadow-person owns both )

Using stored XSS attack with iframe and using the sub-domain feature we get the below:

Ejobs.ro serves Bestjobs.ro

In CV section of your ejobs.ro account, in the Objectives text-box use the following iframe injection code to check the proof:

Code:

For sure they miss something in their security approach towards web application development.

That’s it for now. See you next time.

UPDATE (21/06/2008): tin sa adaug ca Vasilica Drojdieru sustine ca are © toate stangurile rezervate pe baza articolului original (publicat 20 Sep 2007, deci muuult mai devreme decat am primit eu).

Faza cu “aruncat cu nişte cãcat” nu mi se pare o idee buna din moment ce am primit textul cu copyleft lipsa… (in general postez cu buna-credinta blogereasca, si fac referire la surse, originale, copyright-uri si disclaim-ere)

Universalitatea limbii romane (via Ankh)

Limba romana e atat de bogata incat am exportat-o pe banda rulanta.
Ne-am aventurat in a face un top al denumirilor internationale care,fara sa
stie purtatorii, sunt… d’ale noastre, neaose, suculente si pline de
inteles.

1. Pe primul loc, bineinteles, ce alt nume ar putea figura decat renumita
statiune croata Pula . Am intalnit persoane care isi fac concediile in Pula
(inclusiv oameni care chiar merg in Croatia pentru asta).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pula,_Croatia

2. Tot Pula se numeste si moneda oficiala a statului african Botswana .
Prin asta se explica saracia lucie din savana… luand in calcul faptul ca
populatia e preponderent feminina, se ajunge la cateva subdiviziuni de Pula
pe cap de locuitor. Cursul de schimb il gasiti pe
http://www.x-rates.com/d/BWP/table.html

3. In alte zone de pe continentul african, oamenii o duc si mai rau.
Daca botswanezilor le e de ajuns o Pula pentru a-si asigura traiul (mai ales
ca-s negri, si stim noi ce se vorbeste despre ei), 3,4 milioane de
mozambicani locuiesc in regiunea Nampula, avand capitala in orasul cu
acelasi nume.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nampula_Province

4. Printre distractiile mai putin cunoscute, dar mai apropiate de noi, se
poate numara o excursie cu intreaga familie in micul si linistitul Camping
De Muie, pe insula olandeza Tholen. Puteti sa le scrieti sa-i felicitati
pentru denumirea inspirata, sediul lor din St. Maartensdijk e amplasat tot
pe strada… Muie.
Sau vizitati-i pe http://www.campingdemuie.nl

5. Futai USA Inc. este (ah, asta imi aduce aminte de o imprecatie dintr-un
vers de Parazitii) cel mai mare producator de umbrele din lume,vezi Doamne.
Cica aproape toate umbrelele din lume contin piese Futai. Firma
taiwano-americana mai face si crose de golf…
desi nu vad legatura.
http://www.futaiusa.com/about_futaiusa.htm

6. LABA inseamna pentru toti italienii Libera Accademia di Belle Arti.
Saracii ofera chiar 30 burse de studiu “per i Master della LABA". LABA - La
natura dell’ arte.
http://www.laba.biz

7. Daca tu crezi ca esti in rahat, ce parere ai de cei 32.000 deinsi din
orasul israelian Rahat? In Rahat, ce-i drept, locuiesc numai arabi(ca sa
vedeti unde i-au trimis filosemitii de americani), si ei se simt bine acolo
de vreme ce rahat inseamna pe limba lor ceva gen “convietuire fericita".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahat

8. Pentru ca din nou ne-am indepartat de plaiurile mioritice, am putea sa
vizitam si Curu. Nu, nu e suficient sa te uiti in spate, Curu este o
rezervatie naturala in Costa Rica . 75% din Curu lor este impadurit, totusi
costaricanii il considera unul din cele mai frumoase locuri din tara. N-as
vrea sa le vad pe celelalte, in cazul asta.
http://www.nicoyapeninsula.com/curu/

9. Am ajuns si in indepartata Japonie, unde pe crestele muntilor cresc
falnicii Sugi. Sugi este chiar arborele national al japonezilor, asteptam cu
interes aclimatizarea lui pe coastele insorite ale Croatiei de mai sus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugi

10. Cui nu-i plac conditiile rudimentare oferite de campingul olandez de
Muie, ii recomandam cu caldura cazarea in hotelul parizian de Buci.
http://www.bucihotel.com/

In concluzie, dragi cititori, fiti mandri de graiul ce-l graiti,dar fiti
prudenti. N-ai de unde sa stii ce inseamna “buna ziua” in limba uzbeka.

UPDATE: check the second part here

Well, this is not necessarily big news nor a breakthrough…

However, it is sad to see that big and old players on the different markets (be it job&recruitment, online payments, news corps, search engines, etc.) are still susceptible to such well known and wide-spread attacks (as XSS for example) and are still posing threat to their main and most important assets.

If to take as example ejobs.ro mainly:
- 2.5 Mil persons/month using their services
- 1 Mil resumes they posses
- 9 years of presence on the market
- No1 position on the market
All above are according to one of their banners:

ejobs.ro banner

I am asking myself - wasn’t it a good and sufficient example the compromise of intelligence assets of monster.com?

What is even more sad is the fact that they have some kind of filters/sanitations implemented (as you will see below). But it seems that those security measures look more like:
- are home-made ones - lacking presence of unified sanitation policy and library/package
- treat some local and specific bug/cases - lacking security/code auditing as a practice of entire SDLC
- are buggy/obsolete - they tend to be more of a burden in maintenance rather than a help for the entire software product

Let’s look at some technical details (NB: dear ejobs.ro - pay special attention or contact me as we can colaborate as freelancer/consulting party )

1. XSS reflected attack.
Click link here (no harm code - only proof of concept alert box). Fully HEX obfuscated (easily deobfuscated by current editing software), but useful while sending to the victim

Code:

XSS reflection IE

Looks like no sanitation done. Also, I always keep fighting with opposing industry colleagues that outputing user input to the title of the page (be it search, etc.) brings no benefits, rather the opposite - pain-in-the-ass

2. XSS stored attack.

XSS stored FF

This specific case, while doing XSS probing has shown that there are some sanitation routines… which more likely will have to be improved…

If you have an account and a resume, try either of the below injection codes in the Obiectiv or Beneficii textboxes (save and preview the CV using “Cum vad companiile CVul meu". The answer would be - “FOARTE FOARTE PROST !")

Code:

Code:

Both XSS attacks worked for me in IE6, IE7, FF2.

It seems that even after many decades, proper parsing is still an issue for most of the developers - be it an issue of lack of technical knowledge or just simple lack of interest to complicate themselves with additional “useless” burden of security assessment…

DISCLAIMER: this post is intended purely for security research and educative purposes as well as intended to urge the vendor to fix the problems posing threats to its customers.

Prolog

(…or skip to the section below directly)

It’s been a quite a long time now since I started to write an article inspired mainly by the following facts: broadening my vision over some things that are happening in the world, getting a more mature mentality, following some chain of banned/unaired documentaries, etc. However time is ticking away and the article, consisting of multiple parts, is still in draft. This is why I decided to post some drafts of each part before the entire article is ready.

Please take some of your precious time to read/view the links posted, since these reveal some details about few main things in our lives that we omit or are unable to see either because of our “routine blindness” or because of blinding interest of some circle. And please - don’t just be fucking comfortable with yourself, with your current life situation and position; don’t be just a dumb-ass consumer, corporate worker, etc. - critically think and analyze things in perspectives (whatever you like - religious, creationist, fatalist, conspirational, etc.). Because if you don’t, very soon you might find yourself in the democratic slavery of capitalism - yes, slavery you were running from towards democracy and capitalism - nothing but a big fancy pink present-box full of bullshit… Explore, search, read, spread the word and links - at least send them as a mass message in your mails/messenger instead of some fun & entertainment thrash…

While going over this information, never forget about the tactics of all old imperiums - “divide et impera” (ALL, absolutely all, hot-for-war and CONFLICT REGIONS in the world are purposely created, maintained and financed), “bread and entertainment for all ordinary people” (bread is the MASSIVE CONSUMERISM created, imposed and developed to the level of human reflexes or even genome, whereas entertainment is the MASSIVE ENTERTAINMENT and BRAINWASHING with fabricated news by the media corporation and dumbification of the people with less and less critical and intelectual entertainment TV programs).

For the moment - enough introduction.

Watch, read, explore and judge for yourself.

Let’s rock-n-roll…

Water

Needless to say that water is essential for human life. It’s even more important in our modern and civilized world. However, there are interests and forces that want to control it, control that is wanted to be unnoticed for ordinary people.

Imagine a day or even a week without running and drinking water in your very own apartment? Will your home appliances, cola & beer stocks help? I doubt it as well as you might doubt it… And I am also pretty sure, if your imagination is rich enough, you don’t to live by yourself you imagery…

Now, there can be generally speaking two causes for running/drinking water shortages or water price rise - natural ones (for simplest example island of Cyprus in consecutive low precipitation years) and on-purpose ones (like water privatization for obscene profits or for disturbance provocations).

And just to let you know (yes I know that privatization of some sectors to some degree is beneficial to any country, market, nation), there is a continuous struggle of corporate and highly influential interest forces to pass laws (yes, real laws imposable even by the means of force in case of mass disobedience) in more and more countries on a continuous basis. Check this fragment out:

And as documented facts check this Bechtel Water Privatization Facts in Bolivia. Now, someone trying to tell me that making “Families living on the local minimum wage of $60 per month were billed up to 25 percent of their monthly income” is a good for that nation through privatization, instead of mass extermination of those living there? Yes, it’s not a fast, forceful extermination by using force or bombs (since yeah democracy is against uses of force), instead it is an attempt to get last money from a mass of people which would have a nice, slow, dirty, full of diseases death…

It is needless again to say who is a major interest holder in Bechtel corporation (among many, many unknown and hiding ones, George W. Bush is there). And by the way, Bechtel is making also money in Romania by building a stealth highway - eating tax payers money and producing *shit*… Do I need to encourage it with: “Go Bechtel, yeah!"?!

Other more recent attempt to re-initiate conflicts in a peaced-out region and to literally enslave population by water privatization is Paraguay:

Now, important to read next page - a VERY VERY nice social experiment with water, which might awake you a little bit.

Cred ca exista putini care nu stiu sau nu au jucat Mario sau Super Mario. Pai bine, a existat o versiune de Super Mario care nici macar nu a fost livrata pe piata din USA din simplul motiv ca producatorul japonez a considerat ca e prea deficil si s-ar putea ca americanii sa devina frustrati… iar cand americanii devin frustrati stim cu totii ca se incep razboaie

Anyhow, iata o secventa de joc cu dublare audio absolut fantastica

And please - don’t just be fucking comfortable with yourself, with your current life situation and position; don’t be just a dumb-ass consumer, corporate worker, etc. - critically think and analyze things in perspectives (whatever you like - religious, creationist, fatalist, conspirational, etc.). Because if you don’t, very soon you might find yourself in the democratic slavery of capitalism - yes, slavery you were running from towards democracy and capitalism - nothing but a big fancy pink present-box full of bullshit… Explore, search, read, spread the word and links - at least send them as a mass message in your mails/messenger instead of some fun & entertainment trash…

While going over this information, never forget about the tactics of all old imperiums - “divide et impera” (ALL, absolutely all, hot-for-war and CONFLICT REGIONS in the world are purposely created, maintained and financed), “bread and entertainment for all ordinary people” (bread is the MASSIVE CONSUMERISM created, imposed and developed to the level of human reflexes or even genome, whereas entertainment is the MASSIVE ENTERTAINMENT and BRAINWASHING with fabricated news by the media corporation and dumbification of the people with less and less critical and intelectual entertainment TV programs).

For the moment - enough introduction. Watch, read, explore and judge for yourself. Let’s rock-n-roll…

Money

In this New World Order (NWO), do you actually know what is money exactly? You think it is only the nice crispy banknotes in your fancy wallet and the heavy change coins in your pockets? How about loans, mortgages and interest rates? How often did you study money and monetary sciences at school, college, university? How many books, videos, articles have you seen which explain in deep details who, where, when, how creates the money and how much of it they create?

Got a loan or a mortgage recently? It is possbible that you might be in a shit of relative deepness. Why? Normally it would be a win-win (you and the creditor) situation to get these loans. However the first law of creditors is to get back the loans and interest rates as soon as possible - either in form of money or the property you mortgaged. Now, when they want it back fast guess what - they tweak the entire system to get you in the failing position (economic recessions, financiar depressions - all these are planned and of course speculated)…

Now, questions to ask yourself or your friends or your government or God or Google or…

How much you know about Federal Reserve Bank/System? You think it is a statal/governamental institution? - Wrong! It is a group of largest banking corporation who owns your money and give them to you already with some interest rate.

What about mortgage crisis in USA, Spain and foreclosure of those properties? You think entire countries are insanely incapable and fail the mortgages? - Of course not, but it is all planned and played as a screenplay.

What about refinancing loans and mortgages? Sounds nice and sold on the market even in a more nice fashion! However it is BULLSHIT. Why? How do you expect to get rid of the debt (which in fact limits your liberty - be it financial or any other form of liberty) if for the first debt with interest rate you borrow another debt which is again with interest rate? So come that from 33% up to 50% credited romanians are calling for refinancing (according to ProTV news). Isn’t it weird?

What about failing dollar, the fact that it is not backed with gold since 70s and the new Amero currency? - Interesting bets can be set.

And why these things happend? Because as you already should know - IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!

Things to watch for start, then start digging and follow the related links you encounter:

Sint in vacanta! Detalii dupa ce revin.

Intre timp, enjoy cateva poze pe care le-am facut azi (carcasa subacvatica isi merita toti banutzii !!!)

Maasalaama !

Ma duceam azi la pranz. Din lift au iesit in intimpinarea mea cateva tipe dragutze de la HR . Dintre acestea o tipa din Romania, iar restul din Cipru.

Erau binedispuse . Primul motiv evident era ca veneau de la pranz. Dar mai era un motiv, care pe unele le-a rumenit la fata, pe altele le-a facut sa aiba ochisorii luciosi ca sticla cu priviri pierdute spre zare-mare, pe unele se citea entuziasmul….

Am prins cu (virgula) coada urechii cel de-al doilea motiv - era vorba de cuvantul puţin (care se mai translitereaza putsin). Se pare ca tipa din Romanica, ii zisese in lift unui alt roman “Stai puţin…” (sau ceva de genul asta - ca asa le explica).

Acest puţin sau putsin, a fost inteles de celelalte tipe tinerele, vorbitoare de greaca si engleza drept… “Puts in”

Va indemn sa testati reactia tinerelor vorbitoare de engleza de prin preajma - vorbind cu cineva in romana sa insistati asupra cuvantului puţin combinat cu o expresie corespunzatoare a feţei - sau sau

UPDATE (mersi Luiza): va indemn sa mai scrieti in mailuri interne ale multinationalelor, unde limba oficiala este engleza, fraza cheie de genul “cum face [numele unei tipe care nu vorbeste romaneste] video cu telefonul mobil” de exemplu “cum face Carla video cu telefonul mobil” - dupa care sa va straduiti ca acest carnat de mailuri cu diversi indivizi in CC sa ajunga la HR sau la vreun manager nevorbitor de limba engleza

Prolog

Trist, trist ce se intampla un lume!

Profetii zic “Vremurile de apoi", pesimistii zic “Sfarsitul lumii", optimistii zic “Schimbarea spre bine e aproape", democratii zic “Libertatea cuvantului si a gandirii, drepturile omului", anti-globalistii zic “Totalitarism si dictatura mondiala", criptologii zic “Teoria conspiratiilor"…

Toti zic… mai ca toti fac ceva… lumea totusi se misca in inertia ei spre neant…

Eu zic ca un reboot al civilizatiei ar ajuta , doar ca nu traim intr-o lume virtuala…

YouTube - sort the search as you want and as you used to!

Are you an avid YouTube-er? Like seeing top/most viewed videos first?

Ok, so this post is for you then !

Somewhere in mid-march YouTube removed from it’s page the sort by number of views function - arrgghhh, right?!

Logically, the most obvious trick they could have done is just to remove the visual rendering of the option, leaving the sorting functionality intact though. Some Google-ing and cached results and…. SURPRISE!

Here is the URL parameter to be passed in the URL for your search results so you will get sort based on number of views
search_sort=video_view_count

So if you have a result page like URL:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zeitgeist

Then the sorted results will be obtained from the address URL:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zeitgeist&search_sort=video_view_count

Here is the link to some kind of script for some browsers which will enable the sorting through the push of a button in your favorite browser - userscripts

Cateva posturi in urma ziceam de idei originale si interesante. Uite aici inca una, din categoria - striking and insane idea. Cel putin pentru mine - este GENIAL, mai ales ca-mi place in sine creatia lui Tarantino, chiar daca nu sint un mare cunoscator al acesteia…

Cateva sfaturi simple si puternice. Incerc sa le pun in practica - cand oare sa ma astept la 10k-100k vizite / 1 day-month ?!?!

PS: Daca ai folosit sfaturile de mai sus si ai simtit ca te-au ajutat, adauga un comment scurt de feedback + adresa blogului

Dimineata incepe cu vreo doua idei originale de arta . In general, cred ca orice idee artistica cu adevarat originala place oricui si aproape fiecare si-a pus intr-un fel sau altul intrebarea “Wow! E genial, fain si simplu! Oare de ce nu mi-a venit si mie in cap ideea?”

Ideea 1 (via Igor) - Typography.
Ideea in sine nu e noua - implementarea (accente vizuale asupra actiunii) si subiectul (mmmmm! PULP FICTION - a MUST see movie!) totusi aduc a noua perspectiva asupra acestui mod de arta.

____________________________

Ideea 2 (via Xenia) - Music hand mimics&lyrics (a nu se incurca cu Manualism ). La prima vedere, video nu pare sa fie ceva deosebit, dar fiind totusi ceva original si nou - e de apreciat 17 milioane de vizualizari.

BBC - Sleep profiler (via Mada)

Asta mi-a iesit mie la profiler . Deci ziceam eu ca stau prost la capitolul somn, fcuk it :-S (nu ca nu as dormi mult ultimul timp, dar se pare ca dorm NEoptimizat)

Your profile summary
Your sleep is reasonably optimised, scoring 44 %.

You said you do not have a problem with sleep, but there are times when you feel sleepy and ideally shouldn’t - your personalised advice below will help you improve your score.
Body and Health
How to boost your alertness

* You seem to be quite tired during the day.
* One way of treating the symptom is to nap in the afternoon. The body is designed this way - most of us have a natural dip in alertness at roughly 2-4pm.
* A 15 minute nap when you’re tired can be a very effective way of staying alert throughout the day. But sleep longer than 20 minutes and you’ll enter the stage called Slow Wave Sleep (or ‘deep’ sleep), and you’ll feel very groggy when you wake.

Environment
Your bedroom should be mainly for sleep

* Sleep experts recommend that bedrooms should be for rest, relaxation and a good night’s sleep.
* If getting to sleep is a problem, remove distractions from your bedroom if you can. If you use your mobile telephone as an alarm clock, try to turn off the mobile to avoid getting any late night calls or text messages. The alarm clock function still works when the mobile is off.

Lifestyle
Night-time tipples: Too much alcohol can make you restless

* Having a small drink of alcohol before bed is one of your regular techniques for getting to sleep. It helps you relax and drop off. One drink is fine, but more than one drink can cause you to pop out of sleep and stop you from getting a good night.
* Several times a night we enter a stage called light sleep and because alcohol is a stimulant it can make you more likely to wake during these times.
* Alcohol is also a diuretic, which means it physically encourages the body to urinate (never welcome during the night).
* Drinking is also more likely to lead to snoring, which can restrict airflow into the lungs. This reduces the oxygen in your blood which disturbs your sleep (and contributes to your hangover!).

Exercise routines can help

* Regular exercise is a great way of improving your sleep - but be careful not to exercise close to bed time as this produces stimulants that stop the brain from relaxing quickly.

You regularly drink coffee or consume caffeine

* You use one of the oldest and best short-term cures for sleepiness: caffeine.
* Caffeine stays in your system for many hours, but is active in your brain for only about an hour. However, having large amounts of caffeine in your system will disturb your sleep.
* If keeping alert is your goal and you want to cut down your caffeine intake, try taking a short nap when you feel sleepy.
* Current research shows a short 15 minute nap is more effective than a cappuccino at beating tiredness.

You know what works.

* Well done - the things you do to help you sleep should be working - did you know there are real scientific reasons?
* A warm bath offers a chance to relax (vital for a good night’s sleep) and in a more practical way, it makes the blood vessels in your extremities dilate and help cool the body.
* There’s new evidence that hormones released during sexual activity can promote sleep.

Cum sa raspunzi la telefon …

… astfel incat sa-l debusolezi (sau cel putin sa incerci ) pe ala care te-a sunat

Sfaturile sint practice si recomandate in mod special in cazul in care esti sunat cu insistenta de tele-agenti de vanzari/chestionari…. Enjoy si baga la cap !

Please use the following if contacted by a telemarketer.

1. Use a husky, dirty phone sex voice but ask normal questions about the proposed offer.
“Is it a low interest rate? mmmmm…I like low interest rates…really low…”
2. In an outrageously excited tone: “Thank god you called!!!” Explain that an online psychic told you that your future lover would randomly call disguised as an asshole.
3. Say you are hard of hearing and see how loud they will shout into the phone.
4. Allow the telemarketer to fully explain his offer. When he is finished explain that his company hired you to randomly spot check telemarketers on their performance. Tell him that he did a good job overall, but that he is a bit monotone and needs to fluctuate his tone of voice more to sound convincing. He also should pause longer between sentences, and more clearly pronounce the letter “s”. Tell him you won’t report him if he repeats his speech to you with the appropriate corrections. Repeat.
5. Be incredibly polite as they explain their offer, but make farting noises once in a while and ask whether there is something wrong with the connection.
6. In an annoyed tone cut the telemarketer off mid sentence : “Dan, stop screwing around…we have to get rid of this body fast, did you find a chainsaw or not?”
7. “Congratulations! You’re the 100th caller on the (insert local radio station) Sweet Vacation Giveaway Blast Marathon. You’ve just won a pair of tickets to Negril, Jamaica and the use of Sean Paul’s celebrity vacation house.” Take down her address and send her all of your L.L.Bean catalogues for the rest of your life…after you use them as liner for your cat’s litter box.
8. Flirt.
9. Keep repeating, “I knew you were going to say that…”
10. Stutter on a syllable of an obvious word in a sentence… see how long it takes before he completes the phrase. When he does, get upset, and say “That really hurts my fee…fee… fee… fee…feel…fee… fee… fee…” ad infinitum.
11. Pee on the phone while he’s talking.
12. Mid pitch, stop him and complement him on his wonderful voice. Explain that you are a voiceover scout and might have a breakthrough commercial job for him. Ask if he wouldn’t mind doing a quick test. Ask him to say in a deep husky voice “May cause dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting and shortness of breath. A small number of participants in a recent clinical trial experienced weight loss, irregular clotting, abnormally frequent and/or painful urination and hair loss. Results may vary”
13. Ask how much it would take to get him to stop working as a telemarketer. Start at $1000. Say you are dead serious.
14. Ask if he will be your friend if you sign up.
15. Tie obscure facts about Barbara Streisand to everything thing he says,, “2.3% interest rate? oh my…did you know Barbara was 23 when she filmed Funny Girl…”
16. Every few minutes repeat, “You’re going to have to bear with me, I have a slight short term memory loss problem…who is this again?”
17. “Oh my god, I used to have your job…does Bob still work there (repeat names until you find a match)…which building are you in?” Escalate coincidence until you both realize that you sat in the same chair. Explain that you had to quit work when your genitals mysteriously vanished.
18. Regardless of the offer tell him you’ll take 7. If he asks what you mean say he drives a hard bargain and you’ll take 9, but that’s as far as you’ll go.
19. Every half-minute ask him to hold and pretend to scream at your invalid mother. “You want to use the bathroom??? Well stop whining and get up out of the wheelchair for a change. You just sit there and think about that for a while, mother. Can’t you see I’m on the damn phone?”
20. Forgive him. Tell him you did. Over and over again, until he hangs up. Then secretly take it back.

love,

1 Aprilie

Civilizatia evolueaza, ziua pacalelilor ramane aceeasi, chiar daca glumitzele acum circula mai mult virtual

Se pare ca in Romanica, subiectul hot de 1 Aprilie sint:

• Andreea Raicu - alergand dezbracata prin studio!!! (asta e tare - la momentul primirii avea ~42mii vizite, la momentul scrierii deja ~100mii vizite. concluzie - sau contorul de vizite e stricat/manarit, sau e o infectie viral-virtuala de 1 aprilie si nimeni nu munceste in Romanica )
• Mihaela Radulescu - in Playboy (de parca ar fi mare noutate )

Ganduri cu efect colateral

Ma gandesc totusi (a se citi pamfletez) - daca tot e ocazia cu NATO - oare nu ar fi fost mai fun sa circule o pacaleali de genul:

• “Bombe amorsate in Otopeni si in gurile de canal sigilate pe culuarul unic”
• “Sniper cu cetatenie tripla romana/rusa/americana prins in copacii din parcul Izvor de langa Casa Poporului”
• “Bin Laden (aka /bin/laden) - arestare ca in filme in parcul Cismigiu” (credit Mircea Badea)

Parerea mea umila este ca ar prinde mai bine la public, ca e un subiect hot (nu, dragi trusturi media?), ca astea cu gagici goale e fumate si rasuflate…

Si intr-un final, daca tot primeai/scriai un asemenea link/blog - te distrai si tu (adica omul de rand), dar si baietii de la securitate (SRI, SPP, KGB, MI5, CIA, FBI, ETC si FKYU), nu?

UPDATE:
Am gasit si un site frumusel (via Cuibul lui Cip-Cirip) - Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of All Time

TRIMITE MAI DEPARTE TE ROG!!!

“Earth Hour 2008 - Arata ca-ti pasa. Stinge si tu lumina!”

Sloganul unei campanii interesante de constientizare in masa a populatiei prevalent si aparent inconstiente cand e vorba de consumerizm excesiv si nerational in toate privintele.

Nu sint un fanatic extremist al unor astfel de actiuni, dar pentru ca imi place ideea flashmob-urilor interesante&destepte si ma enerveaza ideea consumeristilor nepasatori si iresponsabili - DATI LINKUL LA BLOG sau LINKURILE DE MAI JOS MAI DEPARTE DACA CHIAR ITI PASA SI CREZI CA POTI SCHIMBA CEVA!

Resursa din Romania (via Mada)

Resursa Globala (via Rijkin)

Ganduri colaterale la tema

In general vad o crestere masiva a miscarilor “Go Green!", in special in cadrul corporatiilor si multinationalelor (cred ca multi ati vazut in emailuri FWD-ate semnaturi pentru salvarea copacilor )

Sincer, este apreciabila o astfel de miscare, dar din pacate eu deocamdata o sesizez ca o campanie mai mult cantitativa (referitor la cuvinte si slogane) si mai putin calitativa (referitor la actiuni si ratiuni cu adevarat ajutatoare).

In mare parte, din propria experienta si perceptie a actiunilor de care stiu, astfel de corporatii se impart in doua mari tabere privind scopul final al acestor campanii:

• tabara pentru reducerea ascunsa a costurilor totale de operare (asa numitul TCO) - adica mai putine pahare din plastic achitate, mai putina hartie consumata la imprimanta, mai putina energie consumata la stingerea controlata a lifturilor, etc. (li se asociaza sloganul “Go GreeD!")
• tabara pentru reducerea deschisa a poluarii, a incalzirii globale, a consumerismului excesiv, etc. (li se asociaza sloganul “Go GreeN!")

In concluzie…
Parafrazand un status de messenger a unei veche si bune prietene

“Tu ce fel de GoGreen-er esti?”

In timp ce unii se lupta cu globalizarea si G7/G8…
…altii protesteaza contra NATO si sint arestati ca poarta plancarte la intrarea in Romania

Unii nu printeaza o foaie ca sa salveze paduri intregi de copaci…
…altii nu folosesc pahare din plastic (PVC/PS, adica PolyVynilChloride/PolyStyrene) pentru ca-s facute din ulei petrolier si se duc razboaie pentru petrol

Unii orbesc prin auto-vointa la becuri economice fluorescente pentru ca becul cu incandescenta nu mai e eco-friendly…
…altii se spala mai rar, nu mai trag apa la WC ca sa opreasca incalzirea globala (asta e chiar bred! IMHO )

Ciprul e in razboi… cu natura… nu pentru aurul negru-petrolul… ci pentru aurul transparent-apa

De maine - in Limassol apa cu portia la talon: Limassol Water Board

Deci, in astfel de situatii incepi sa apreciezi si unele avantaje ale traiului pe insule exotice si frumoase:
- tzeapa pentru cei care nu se pot trezi devreme sa fac un dus racoritor dimineata - te duci duhnind, transpirat si neras la servici
- tzeapa pentru cei care vor sa doarma mai devreme - tot omul venind seara de la servici va pune masini de spalat haine si vase in functiune maxima sa recupereze
- un corolar al tzepei de mai sus - oare sa fie posibila la astfel de ore de seara sa pice si curentul din cauza numarului concurent de oameni harnici ?
- tzeapa pentru cei care lucreaza intr-o firma mare (de genul ~ 800 oameni) - fara apa curenta va fi o adevarata placere sa te afli la birou (mentionind faptul ca unii amici si asa nu se prea salutau cu apa cand aceasta venea prin teve 24/7)

Si inca ceva - o lege interesanta, de altfel mi se pare oarecum corecta in conditiile naturii dezorientate de catre omul explorator de features-uri ale universului: Water Saving Law

O zi cat mai… apoasa, fili mou!

Kalispera-sas

Niiiicceee - curs de invatat dansul la bara.

Ce ma uimeste si ma fascineaza in acelasi timp este ca acest Pole Dancing e o competitie mai mult sportiva decat sexuala, cu juriuri, campionate si campioante…

Deci pregatirea necesara trebuie sa o ai, altfel nu te certifica nimeni sa lucrezi in cluburile de noapte.

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear… insomnia
I can’t get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin’ mad in a hurry
Gettin’ stress, makin’ excess meth in darkness
No electricity, something’s all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin’ mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin’ off tights with my teeth
But there’s no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin’ sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it’s back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can’t get no sleep

I can’t get no sleep
I can’t get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

… bang… deschizi ochii instant si te trezesti mai treaz decat intr-o dimineata racoroasa de vara… realizezi, desi cu greu, ca e inca noapte, dar simti ca simturile de trezire te-au tradat…. stii sigur ca nu visezi pentru ca esti perfect constient, dar totusi nu intelegi… nu poti sa-ti aduci aminte ce anume te-a trezit, desi ai in minte acel “ceva” cum de altfel ai pe limba cuvintele “fcuk, abia e 3:47″… o rasucire la 180′ cu fatza in perna in speranta ca poti schimba ceva, dar in zadar… stai intins in intunericul camerei cu ochii deskisi spre tavanul care incepe sa se intrezereasca… numeri, numeri in minte incet “unu, doi, trei…” in speranta ca adormi iar, pentru ca asa te-au invatat parintii sa te induci spre somn si sa adormi cand erai mic si stii sigur ca te ajuta atunci…

… nu te-a ajutat… fie nu ai numarat suficient de lent, fie nu mai stii sa numeri pe timp de noapte, fie nu mai esti la fel de copil ca sa poti sa crezi in acea putere a auto-inducerii… dai la o parte patura calda de pe tine cu un gest de dezaprobare pe care doar intunericul il vede si doar tu il simti… te regasesti din ganduri deja in bucatarie cand te izbesc in ochi ca niste pumni invizibili neoanele mult prea albe si mult prea dure… de altfel neoanele le urasti prin definitie…

… frigiderul, care poarta mereu lumina in suflet (mai mult la propriu, decat metaforic) - e prietenul de noapte a oricarui insomniac sau a oricarui bantuitor de noapte prin casa… dupa un scartait specific a magnetilor-en-gomme ca in semn de salut, “prietenul” iti ofera acelasi pahar de iaurt pe care i l-ai oferit seara inainte de somn - ti-l ofera ca semn de recunostinta ca nu ai uitat de el… il bei cu placere, pentru ca e un pahar racoros de iaurt, capabil chiar sa te faca sa mai lasi din supararea trezirii nocturne…

… deschizi calculatorul, care de zor ("De ploua, de-i frig, de bate vantul Trofimash…") trage constant si iremediabil de pe torenti, sta singur pe messenger si comunica in tacere cu alti messengeri lasati porniti in noapte pe alte calculatoare la fel de insomniace ca si calculatorul tau, si la fel de insomniac ca tine de altfel…

… iti pui castile sa asculti ceva, citesti niste bloguri doar ca sa treaca timpul, fie chiar scrii pe propriul blog ,technomaniac si internetoman irecuperabil ce esti… uite asa, trec cateva ore care te fac sa realizezi ca e timpul sa stingi lumina… nu, nu ca sa dormi, ci pentru ca cea de afara e deja prea puternica si o orbeste pe cea din modesta ta odaie…. da, orbeste pentru ca e dimineata deja care ar vrea sa-ti sopteasca “Buna insomniaza, noptianule!”

Aveam nevoie sa verific un curs valutar - asa ca am mers la CursValutar

Nimic deosebit pana acum, mi-am verificat ce aveam de verificat. Insa cum nu ma pot abtine mai mereu sa testez superficial siteul (cel putin la nivelul programelor si scripturilor care ruleaza in spate), am gasit cateva lucruri pe care banuiesc ca nici dezvoltatorii de CursValutar nu le banuiesc - asta din cauza ca e o “magie” ce se intampla, iar magia cum stim - e necontrolabila…

De ce te-ar afecta anume pe tine aceasta problema?

Pai cateva motive la care te poti gandi rapid:
- datele financiare au nevoie de o precizie si o veridicitate sporita, altfel s-ar falimenta lamentabil, nu crezi?
- folosesti un soft de prognoza/statistica financiara bazate pe diversi indicatori, iar softul foloseste sa zicem datele de pe CursValutar - funny things can happen
- scade credibilitatea si perceptia imaginii fata de CursValutar
- etc.

Deci, va prezentam:
- CursValutar - serviciul Masina Timpului inainte - afla cursul valutar din viitor ca sa poti stapani viitorul

Afla cursul din viitor - CursValutar Oracle & Wizard

- CursValutar - serviciul Masina Timpului inapoi - modifica greselile trecutului si creaza Euro la timpul potrivi, astfel incat sa primesti zestre de la bunici Euroi =). Ca sa obtii magia, lasi ziua selectata cu valoarea “Zi”

Euro - valuta existenta din 1969

Asta cu masina timpului inapoi - pare a fi din punct de vedere soft legat cu data epocala 1970 din Unix (si posibil la care este initializata variabila), din care se scade o zi din motive mai mult sau mai putin evidente

Dupa succesul nebun de saptamana trecuta a remakeului “Ken Lee” (original “Without You” de Mariah Carey) venit din Bulgaria, s-a gasit (via Rizzy) o noua perla - varianta taraf folk-rock “Nothing else matters”

Sincer, daca nu ar fi “cameramanii” beti care urlau cat ii tineau microfonul la telefon, mie varianta ca instrumental si aranjament mi-a placut super tare. Poate prinde la tipi isteti si scot un digitally mastered version:

Episodul “Mamaliga si Udatul mashinii", Serialul “Pohojdeniya moldovan na Kipre” (Vineri, 27-Oct-2006)
—————————-
…e vineri seara … la servici …

Voi stiti cum este, stiu si eu… toti stim… “Vineri seara” si “serviciul” - pentru mine (un “workaholic” inrait - cine ma cunoaste sa ma contrazica ) sint ca doua persoana care incearca sa se evite de la o posta, doi oameni care alearga in directii opuse si care au scopuri cu totul diferite. Din mine filosof ca si traktorist… - de fapt de ce nu traktorist?! )

Ceasul merge ca de obicei, nici mai repede, nici mai incet…. dar e vineri… ochii tot mai des asteapta ora 18:00, iar mintea e deja demult ajunsa pe la ora 20:00 (oofff mintea asta in ce departari ne poate duce - ma rog sa nu mi se propuna job atractiv in Antarctida ca mintea mea shustraya……)

…Mintea stie ca azi e o zi speciala hehehe - ziua de “udat” mashina (khy-khy, nu… aproape masina - vedeti poze si tushitzi shi voi “khy-khy"… foto 050.

Într-o localitate are loc un accident, o masinã iese de pe carosabil într-un cimitir. Dupã trei zile raportul politistilor: - S-au gãsit 835 de morti… Cãutãrile continuã!

Prolog
Daca nu ai timp/chef de citit, sari direct la Epilog - ideea e acolo… in filmulet. Poate iti apare si cheful de citit

Socializare
Nu pot sa judec cat de sociabil sint - despre asta posibil sint in masura sa judece cei ce ma inconjoara. Totusi nu pot sa zic ca sint o persoana izolata, insa tendinta web-ului de a te socializa te fac (poate si au intentia asta, don’t you think?) sa crezi ca ai nevoie de prieteni, ca trebuie sa te inregistrezi in cercuri sociale (mdea, la fel ca si Social Club de la firma la care lucrez), sa socializezi, sa socializezi, sa so…. s-o….

Mereu primesc mesaje cu:
- “you have been invited to join Hi5 and 48736242398409324097324 millions of other FRIENDS of you”
- “don’t miss your 847598459485947509374 friends on facebook”
- “you don’t have MySpace? You mean nothing. 9580934850943850353 people already ENJOYING MySpace”
- “you have been tagged by X-ulescu” (iar eu la randul meu sa-l f… pe X-ulescu ca ma tagguieste/taggeaza si ca ma si spameaza)

Voi nu primiti? Va plac? Socializati? Wonderful world…

Американский социолог N. провел исследование на тему “Отношение людей разных национальностей к чужой собственности". Ученый ездил по городам мира, оставлял посреди вокзального зала чемодан, прятался и засекал время.

В Стокгольме чемодана никто не тронул.

В Лондоне чемодан украли через полчаса.

В Париже - через двадцать минут.

В Риме - через десять.

В Токио через пять минут чемодан сдали в бюро находок.

В Тель-Авиве через три минуты приехала полиция, оцепила вокзал,погрузила чемодан в бронированный фургон и увезла за город взрывать.

В Москве точного результата получить не удалось, так как, пока исследователь смотрел на чемодан, у него украли часы.

Последним в серии оказался эксперимент в Багдаде - вместе с чемоданом похитили и самого американца….

DigiFace is a software project which I am planning to put on proper wheels so it can start rolling.

Some of current functionalities:
- face detection
- facial feature detection - eyes, mouth (3 points)
- facial feature tracking - eyes, mouth (3 points)

Some of planned functionalities:
- full feature detections - adding eyebrows, nose, ears, more detection points
- pose and angle evaluation
- face recognition
- 3D face modeling based on face samples

Main site for the project:
http://digi-face.net

Some video demos:
Part 1
Face and facial feature detection and then tracking:

Part 2
Face and facial feature detection and then tracking:

Part 3
Face and facial feature detection and then tracking with adaptive zoom, i.e. camera has no optical zoom nor a pan/tilt mechanism, but it simulates it all these using digital zoom and sub-framing, so the face is always in focus:

More to come…

In sfarsit am prins si eu o duminica frumoasa cu soare si +20′ de sfarsit de februarie ca sa fac primul post in legatura cu lansarea siteului . O mare realizare pentru mine .

PS: anuntul meu “cumpar timp liber” inca mai e valabil - cine are vreo schema de marketing pentru asa ceva, accept spre analiza propunerile
