forum poisoning script kiddie tools
VXers publish blog poisoning tool
Script kiddie tool foils captchas By John Leyden http://www.theregister.com/2007/07/3...oisoning_tool/ XRumer can publish comments on sites created by phpBB, PHP-Nuke (with some modification), yaBB, VBulletin, Invision Power Board, IconBoard, UltimateBB, exBB, and phorum.org. Usually, the spam message contains a link to pages infected with malware, although the tool can also be used to advertise websites through spam. "The success of blogs, forums, etc, has not gone unnoticed to cyber crooks, who use them to try to infect as many people as possible," said Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs. |

We're aware of the risks and will do what's possible to keep them to a minimum. Fortunately, most people here aren't likely to fall for the sorts of things a script kiddie would post.

"Here's some nice photos I took at the electronics show." or "Nice view from top of Mt. Washington." or "Yet another White House privacy violation revealed" etc. I assume that they could not plant the malware directly on tapcis.com but just a link to the site where the malware distributing exploit was hosted, hosted either by intent or by infection. There are plenty of infected web servers out there and a bot pc could be turned into a web hosting PC too. So for example, with Firefox and my NoScript extension of FF running, I would have javascript enabled for tapcis.com but NOT enabled for malwareinfectedsite.com , so I'd be relatively safe, even if I clicked a link spammed into a message on this forum. With MS IE7 perhaps you'd be infected unless you make it a rule never to click on links in messages from members you don't know. Or unless you had a security addon for MS IE (e.g. IE7Pro?). DH |

Well, I find the notation a little bit strange, but if they mean find the derivative with respect to x, rather than a partial derivative, and the part at the end means evaluate the the derivative at x=2π, then the answer is 14. Remember that cos(v+π/2) = -sin(v) so you can simplify the second half of the expression into just -4sin(7x).

Yep, sure is, and before the last round of vBulletin upgrades, we were losing the war. So far, we're holding our own and I hope vBulletin stays just that one step ahead from now on!

Appropriately, as well, though there is no license required to speak in Cheney's case and there is in the broadcast world.
