Newspaper front pages from Around the world, as PDFs

May 7, 2004 at 1:59 am

News: Newseum: Today’s Front Pages (Flash map view). A great site;
the best thing about it is, a double-click on each newspaper’s ‘dot’ will pop up their front page as a larger image in a new window, and give you a URL for a full-page PDF file.

Best of all, those full-page PDF links update every day with that day’s front page… for example, these are eminently bookmarkable:

Excellent!

A bit like The Guardian’s Digital Edition, but a whole lot cheaper and simpler.

Interview with nmap author

May 30, 2003 at 7:15 pm

a good interview with nmap’s Fyodor on /. Snippet:

  1. During your time running Honeypots, you’ll have seen a lot of compromised systems. Is there any incident that’s really stuck in your mind because of the audacity of the attempt, or the stupidity of the person attempting the breakin?

  2. On the humorous front, one attacker was was running a public webcam during his exploits, so we were able to watch him crack into our boxes in real time :). I will resist the urge to link a screenshot. His rough location was determined when we noticed Mrs. Doubtfire playing on his TV and correlated that with public schedule listings. He was working with a Pakistani group, but was actually on the US East Coast.

    In the ‘disturbing audacity’ front, this year we found that a group of crackers had broken into an ecommerce site and actually programmed an automated billing-sytem-to-IRC gateway. They could obtain or validate credit card numbers by simply querying the channel bot! Expect a more detailed writeup soon.
