Steganographic malware via altered transparency value pixels in ad network banners.
by Razer 12 Dec '16

Apparently this had been going on for a couple of years... > > "The criminals were able to send banner ads and javascript to their > targets' computers by pushing both into ad networks. These networks > aggressively scan advertisers' javascript for suspicious code, so the > criminals needed to sneak their bad code past these checks. > To do this, they made tiny alterations to the transparency values of > the individual pixels of the accompanying banner ads, which were in > the PNG format, which allows for pixel-level gradations in > transparency. The javascript sent by the attackers would run through > the pixels in the banners, looking for ones with the telltale > alterations, then it would turn that tweaked transparency value into a > character. By stringing all these characters together, the javascript > would assemble a new program, which it would then execute on the > target's computer. > This new program triggered a network request to a site controlled by > the attackers, which repeatedly checked the target's computer to see > if it was running inside a virtual machine (a telltale sign of a > paranoid user, possibly a security researcher who would figure out > what was going on) or whether it had any anti-virus software. Once it > was satisfied that the target was not in a position to detect active > attacks, it launched exploits targeted at Internet Explorer/Flash to > hijack the machine and gather the user's keystrokes, with a special > emphasis on bank-industry information." http://boingboing.net/2016/12/07/for-two-years-criminals-stole.html More: http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/12/millions-exposed-to-malvertising-th…

Nordfront Releases Political Platform in English
by Zenaan Harkness 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

This right-ist political movement is coming, like it or not, avoid it or not. Here and there something comes out (such as a Duke vid) that helps to explain to those who struggle to comprehend what's going on, how it could be possible for such movements to gain traction across the "enlightened" Western world, etc, and the English version of Nordfront's political platform is as good a place as any to inform oneself. Ostrich syndrome, just as with related pizzalic events and the death throws of the lame stream media, will not make all this go away, no matter how hard one holds ones eyelids shut. For the sane amongst us, better informed than ignorant.

The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan https://youtu.be/e7qQ6_RV4VQ Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin' Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin' It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin' Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin' The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin' And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'

It seems that Jake has been MIA since the allegations of sexual misconduct were made several months ago. Has anyone had any actual contact with him since? Sent from my mobile device. Please excuse typos and brevity.
