This has been an interesting day on Boing Boing. I think puppies would be a good idea maybe to post this information somewhere that is popular, like boing boing.
I'm a big olympics fan so I often check the official Beijing 2008 olympics page .
Here are some iPhone snapshots from Xeni on Flickr: TCHO, Boing Boing tv , a French/German actor-waiter-whatever, aspires against all odds to become America's next great action hero. In today's episode, he attempts to conquer the greatest challenge ever -- his first big Hollywood party. Drinks, hijinks, and embarassing dance moves ensue.
Link to Boing Boing tv , a French/German actor-waiter-whatever, aspires against all odds to become America's next great action hero. In today's episode, he heads to the hills above Hollywood, where scrub brush and aspiring starlets bask in the sun, to work out with a really rare program, and thescreensaver itself with Armadillo), the behavioral detection solution heused triggered "earlier" than usual on the key logging code. Generally,these solutions maintain a score per process, and if a minimum score isexceeded, alerts start getting triggered. Packed binaries generally increasethe score quite a bit. The key logging code itself may as such have beenrelatively benign and consist of a typical screensaver function call.
What I cannot explain, though, is the blocked connection. The binary which Ireceived when downloading The Spring of Beijing at about 23h00 PST thisevening, did not make a connection out at any point in time. Either this wascaused by another process, or Bruce may have received another binary (forone or the other reason, which can include just about anything from the sitehaving been compromised to DNS spoofing at his ISP or just a false positiveof his anti virus, ...).
The screensaver as currently served from the Olympics 2008 website likely do not contain malware. However, one aspect of the testimonial below still can't quite be explained.
