This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. Please to, without removing the technical details. (June 2016) () () ANSI escape sequences are a standard for to control the cursor location, color, and other options on video. Certain sequences of, most starting with and ', are embedded into the text, which the terminal looks for and interprets as commands, not as.

ANSI sequences were introduced in the 1970s to replace vendor-specific sequences and became widespread in the computer equipment market by the early 1980s, they were used by the nascent to offer improved displays compared to earlier systems lacking cursor movement, a primary reason they became a standard adopted by all manufacturers. Although hardware text terminals have become increasingly rare in the 21st century, the relevance of the ANSI standard persists because most terminal emulators interpret at least some of the ANSI escape sequences in output text. One notable exception was the of before update TH2. • The screen display could be replaced by drawing the entire new screen's contents at the bottom, scrolling the previous screen up sufficiently to erase all the old text. The user would see the scrolling, and the hardware would be left at the very bottom, some early achieved rudimentary 'full screen' displays in this way.

• Typical colors that are used when booting PCs and leaving them in text mode, which used a 16-entry color table. The colors are different in the EGA/VGA graphic modes. • As of Windows XP • Above color name from X11 rgb.txt color database, with 'light' prefixed for the bright colors.

• For virtual terminals, from /etc/vtrgb. • On terminals based on compatible hardware, such as ANSI.SYS running on DOS, this normal intensity foreground color is rendered as Orange. CGA monitors contained hardware to modify the dark yellow color to an orange/brown color by reducing the green component. See this as an example. References [ ].

() – The TYPO3 development team has issued a warning about a critical vulnerability in the TYPO3 content management system. According to TYPO3 security bulletins, a crafted request to a vulnerable TYPO3 installation will allow an attacker to load PHP code from an external source and to execute it on the TYPO3 installation.

The security issue is due to insufficient validation of the AbstractController.php file’s BACK_PATH parameter that leads to remote code execution. With reference to the TYPO3 security advisory, a vulnerable system will meet all the the following conditions: • TYPO3 version 4.5.0 up to 4.5.8, 4.6.0 or 4.6.1 (+ development releases of 4.7 branch). • The following PHP configuration variables set to “on”: register_globals (“off” by default, advised to be “off” in ), allow_url_include (“off” by default) and allow_url_fopen (“on” by default) The following solutions have been advised by the TYPO3 security advisory: • Update to the TYPO3 version 4.5.9 or 4.6.2 that fixes the problem described. • Set at least one of following PHP configuration variables to “off”: register_globals, allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen.

• Set up a mod_security rule: SecRule ARGS:BACK_PATH “^(https? ftp)” “deny”. Please view the TYPO3 for more information.

() – Ten days ago Adobe a security advisory for Adobe Reader and Acrobat detailing a “critical” zero-day vulnerability that was already being actively exploited on the Internet, specifically against Adobe Reader 9.x on Windows. The vulnerability is present in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat X and 9.x, however Reader X and Acrobat X users can protect themselves against it by using Protected View / Mode. However there is no work around for Adobe Reader 9.x. Therefore Adobe promised a new release of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat 9.x to fix the problem. This update is expected today. To Brad Arkin, the Senior Director for Product Security and Privacy at Adobe, the rationale behind releasing a hot fix only for Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9 on Windows is that “this is the version and platform currently being targeted.” Soon after Adobe published details of the vulnerability, researchers at Symantec details of attacks seen in the wild saying that the “critical vulnerability has recently been seen exploited in the wild in targeted attack emails sent on November 1st and 5th.

This attack leverages the zero-day vulnerability in order to infect target computers with.” To exploit the zero-day vulnerability the attackers sent out emails with a specially crafted PDF attachment. This PDF uses a bug in Adobe’s Universal 3D (U3D) processing to cause a memory corruption and deliver its payload. News reports suggest that the emails targeted defense contractors, however companies in the Telecoms, Wholesale, and computer hardware industries have also been targeted. Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X users should verify that they are using Protected View / Mode: • To verify Protected View for Acrobat X is enabled, go to: Edit >Preferences >Security (Enhanced) and ensure “Files from potentially unsafe locations” or “All files” with “Enable Enhanced Security” are checked. • To verify Protected Mode for Adobe Reader X is enabled, go to: Edit >Preferences >General and verify that “Enable Protected Mode at startup” is checked. () – Following a settlement with Innovative Marketing and other parties involved in the Winfixer, Drive Cleaner, and XP Antivirus scareware schemes, the Federal Trade Commission is to start giving to the victims. The settlement, which is worth more than $8 million, was reached after the defendants agreed to hand over the money they gained from scaring users with deceptive ads making them think their computers were infected with malware.

Once hooked the users then bought bogus software to fix their non-existent problem. Approximately 320,000 checks, for an average of $20, will be mailed by the FTC’s settlement administrator, Epiq Systems. Consumers have 60 days to cash the cheques.

Microsoft have a list of product names (as detected by their antimalware programs) that are linked to the Winfixer family: As well as paying out $8,272,962, Marc D’Souza (owner of Innovative Marketing) is permanently banned from marketing and selling computer security software or any software which fiddles with web browser homepages or security settings. () – As expected Microsoft has released its. Originally Microsoft were going to release 14 bulletins but instead released only 13. The missing update was intended to make changes to the way Windows works with SSL/TLS to try and minimize the recently discovered weaknesses of the security protocol as highlighted by the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) hacking tool. However Microsoft discovered some compatibility issues with their changes and “a major third-party vendor.” Microsoft are “working with that vendor to address the issue.” Microsoft however did fix the that allows the Duqu malware to spread. The vulnerability allows remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted document or visits a malicious Web page that embeds TrueType font files. Microsoft also fixed a vulnerability in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center that can allow remote code execution.

Bulletin resolves a privately reported vulnerability that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Digital Video Recording (.dvr-ms) file. In all cases, a user cannot be forced to open the file; for an attack to be successful, a user must be convinced to do so. The other “Critical” level update is for a remote code execution vulnerability if a user views a specially crafted Web page that uses a specific binary behavior in Internet Explorer. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. This update also includes kill bits for four third-party ActiveX controls. () – Winamp, the popular media player, has been to 5.623 to fix three security related vulnerabilities along with several non-security related bugs. Secunia two of the security issues to Nullsoft, a division of AOL, back in November.

Now that fixes are available Secunia have disclosed the nature of the bugs. According to Secunia’s security advisory they discovered two vulnerabilities in Winamp, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system. • An integer overflow error in the in_avi.dll plugin when allocating memory using the number of streams header value can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AVI file. • An integer overflow error in the in_avi.dll plugin when allocating memory using the RIFF INFO chunk’s size value can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AVI file. The list of fixes in 5.623 also note a “bounds check for comments parsing” bug that was fixed.

Such out-of-bounds bugs are often exploitable. () – Over the past week Google has removed 22 malicious apps from its official Android Marketplace again highlighting the weakness of Google’s (almost non-existant) approval process. The malicious apps were by the mobile security company Lookout who then notified Google. In response Google removed the apps. The apps all used the RuFraud malware to send SMS messages to premium rate numbers. The apps didn’t affect users in the USA, but it did target users in Great Britain, Italy, Israel, France, and Germany as well as Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Czech Republic, Poland, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Estonia. The initial batch of apps that Google posted in the Android Market place appeared as horoscope apps with an unclear ToS pointing out the charges.

Once the app started, tapping on “Continue” meant the user accepted the terms. Next come apps designed to capture a wider audience: 3 wallpaper apps for popular movies (including Twilight), and 3 apps claiming to be downloaders for popular games such as Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. The final wave of apps again masqueraded as free versions of popular games. In total 22 apps appeared in the Android Market and were downloaded over 14,000 times. Do the maths. That is a very quick way to make some money and Google helped by not having a decent app review process.

() – Accuvant has published a, commissioned by Google, called “Browser Security Comparison: A Quantitative Approach” which evaluates the security of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The report finds that Google Chrome is currently the browser that is most secured against attacks. “Anybody who surfs the internet is familiar with malware, spyware and viruses.

These malicious programs can lead to system pop-ups, slowdowns, account takeovers, and theft of credit card data, social security numbers and other personally identifiable information. While antivirus and anti-malware can help prevent infection, the first line of defense is using a secure web browser,” said Ryan Smith, chief scientist for Accuvant.

“Accuvant is dedicated to providing essential services, like this in-depth, proactive research, that help protect vendors, companies, government agencies, and the public-at-large against those with malicious intent.” Although the report was commissioned by Google, Accuvant says its analysis is independent and based on the premise that all software of sufficient complexity has vulnerabilities. As such the web browser with the best anti-exploitation techniques is the most resistant to attack. “Our researchers used a completely different and more extensive methodology than previous, similar studies,” said Chris Valasek, Accuvant LABS senior research scientist. “We compared web browsers from a layered perspective, taking into account security architecture and anti-exploitation techniques. Like antivirus or anti-malware software, each provides an additional layer of defense. This methodology requires a greater depth of technical expertise than statistical analysis of vulnerabilities, and also provides a more accurate window into the security of each browser.” The Conclusion The reports executive conclusion reads “ the URL blacklisting services offered by all three browsers will stop fewer attacks than will go undetected.

Both Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer implement state-of-the-art antiexploitation technologies, but Mozilla Firefox lags behind without JIT hardening. While both Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer implement the same set of anti-exploitation technologies, Google Chrome’s plug-in security and sandboxing architectures are implemented in a more thorough and comprehensive manner. Therefore, we believe Google Chrome is the browser that is most secured against attack.“. Ford Radio Code V Serial Softwares For Pc more. () – Simon Tatham has, the ubiquitous SSH client for Windows, that fixes a bug that left passwords in active memory. Since PuTTY needs to authenticate with remotes servers using passwords or private/public keys and that it needs to store sessions keys etc in memory while running, it is important that any information that is no longer needed be wiped from memory. The reason for this is that it is feasible that malware could gain access to PuTTY’s memory or read any parts of the memory swapped to disk or any memory written to a crash dump.

Accessing this memory could then lead to password discovery. Although this scenario isn’t 100% avoidable (as PuTTY needs to keep some sensitive information on hand), the risks can be reduced as much as possible. PuTTY 0.59, 0.60 and 0.61 contained a in which the password entered was not wiped from memory, even though it was no longer needed.

Since most modern SSH-2 servers use the keyboard-interactive method for password logins (rather than SSH-2’s dedicated password method), this meant that those versions of PuTTY would store your login password in memory for as long as they were running. Other bugs squashed in 0.62 include: • Pageant 0.61 would not accept connections from PuTTY 0.60 and earlier, or from other software (such as WinSCP) that used 0.60’s method of talking to Pageant. Pageant 0.62 accepts connections from both types of client. • If PuTTY 0.61 attempted GSSAPI authentication and failed, it printed a spurious and confusing ‘Access denied’ message in the terminal window, even though it was still possible to log in by other means. • If PSCP or PSFTP 0.61 was told to load a saved session which specifies SSH on a port other than 22, they would wrongly try to connect to port 22 instead of the specified port. • Pageant 0.61 leaked a file mapping handle every time it received a message with the wrong authentication. • PuTTYtel 0.61 crashed with an assertion failure message when saving a session.

• PuTTY 0.61 could display underlined text with the underlines in the wrong place, to the right of the characters they should have been under. • PuTTY 0.61 could display VT100 line-drawing characters at the wrong vertical offset if they appeared next to the offset horizontal line characters. Pre-built binaries, and the source code, are now available from the PuTTY website.

See also: Updated for the stable 10.0 stable build These instructions will help you on your way to getting Gentoo installed on your Apple TV. This guide is for a total ATV overhaul -- which is to say replacing the OSX-lite ATV OS with Gentoo. As such it has the possibility of totally toasting your pretty silver box.

These steps do NOT require you to crack open your ATV and slave up its disk to an existing pc. This is of course an option, but IMHO, totally unnecessary. Most of this guide was stolen right off. I give full praise and credit to these guys. Atv-bootloader is a truly awesome little bit of work.

This guide assumes you are comfortable with a Gentoo command-line installation and kernel configuration, telnet/ssh connections, network basics, partition/disk schemes, etc. If terms like 'dd', 'mbr', 'efi' and 'parted' don't mean anything to you, you should probably close this document and go grab a Ubuntu ISO. Not that I don't love Ubuntu:-) You will also need an existing linux machine (or, yes, OSX would work too). This Linux machine will be used to build the initial ATV-Bootloader USB stick, as well as telnet into your atv during the process. I used a Gentoo box, and thus these instructions will be geared in that direction.

Keep in mind some part may deviate, depending on your distro. Your ATV and linux machine will need to be on the same LAN with dhcp setup (should be a no brainer).
