Benchmarking Firefox 3 di Gentoo

Baiklah, mungkin masih hangat-hangatnya pembahasan Firefox 3, (menginggat belum 24 jam aplikasi ini telah di luncurkan dan telah di donlod banyak org) jadi ga salah kalo gw ikut "spread the hype" menurut versi gw. Berikut ini adalah benchmarking gw di sistem Operasi Gentoo 2008.0 beta 2, yang awalnya gw mo mengintsall sourcenya sendiri (karena gw pikir belum ada di repo Gentoo (khususnya pemaketan "-bin")); dan ternyata, oh well "they also spread the hype" dengan telah dirilis "ebuild" beserta source firefox di repository sehingga tinggal melakukan sedikit perintah "emerge" untuk meng-unduh Firefox versi terbaru ini.

Well, saat proses meng-unduh, terlihat jika kali ini Firefox telah menggunakan Runtime Environtment terbarunya yang di harapkan bisa lebih baik dari "gecko runtime environtment", yaitu XULRunner, kurang lebih 30 menit untuk melakukan proses unduh dan kompile (XULRunner) disertai sedikit perbaikan library sisa firefox versi 2, akhirnya siap juga menggunakan Firefox 3 (deg-deg-deg).Seperti biasanya, saat pertama kali dijalankan setelah proses "update/upgrade", maka Firefox akan berusaha mendeteksi update untuk themes/add-ons dsb, yang tentu saja kebanyakan tidak belum di support (*Duhh :(), hal ini masih bisa di toleransi, kemudian permintaan "Restart" yang biasa dilakukan pun gw ikuti, dan ternyata proses restart tidak berhasil, Firefox masih dikondisi "Sleep" (hasil top) sedangkan di Xwindows tidak nampak dan juga setelah di tunggu tidak tampil kembali, sehingga terpaksa melakukan "kill" prosesnya dan menjalankan kembali, yupe "restart failed for the first time ", "Oke masih bisa gw toleransi, nanti kita lihat di restart selanjutnya".

Kemudian, seperti yang selalu gw lakukan adalah melakukan setting berbagai parameter untuk mempercepat akses,dan cukup terkaget-kaget dengan warning yang muncul (disertai halaman yang tidak bisa di kopi paste dan di klik kanan) bertuliskan "This Might Void your Warranty !" ... hmm interesting. Baiklah, gw ikuti saja kemauannya, kemudian melanjutkan setting konfigurasi default buat gw, menggunakan setting lama gw, dan yang mengejutkan adalah ternyata FireFox 3 telah melakukan optimasi itu.
khususnya"

network.http.pipelining userset boolean true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests userset integer 16
network.http.proxy.pipelining userset boolean true

", yeah.. yeah. Firefox belajar :)

Dan sebenarnya hal tersebut diatas bukan menjadi concern gw sesungguhnya untuk inginnya mencicipi FireFox 3, salah satu alasan yang membuat gw bersemangat mencicipi Firefox 3 (versi Full) adalah (issue) perbaikan pada "Memory Management" serta pemanfaatan "Kinerja Processor" baik dalam keadaan sleep atau tidak. Sejarah panjang blog gw telah menceritakan sedikit kekesalan gw, salah satunya diawali dalam artikel firefox consume more VM dan semakin parah di versi-versi 2 akhir, dimana berlanjut kepada kinerja processor (belum sempat gw bahas lebih lanjut, tetapi hal ini cukup terkendali setelah di tweak).


Baiklah, sekarang kita buktikan dengan top, hasil top menunjukkan hasil yang cukup mengembirakan, baik saat firefox maximize atau minimize (sleeping), serta tidak ada gejala-gejala yang menunjukkan jika kinerja FireFox ini memburuk (setidaknya untuk "test-drive" pertama kali ini), Teriring ucapan "Salute" untuk para Developer, dan XULRunner sepertinya cukup menjanjikan sebagai "RunTime Environtment" pengganti gecko runtime environtment. Well Done.

Selamat Menikmati Firefox 3

Quote : anonymous - "the underground myth" - phile 13

"Today's youth, for the most part, have no true understanding of hackers or hacking. They have no knowledge of the history, no knowledge that a history even exists. Their hacker is the media's hacker, the cyber terrorist, the Russian mafia. This is unfortunate, but the real trouble begins for those few that somehow become interested enough to look a bit deeper."

THC stops their releases, while others moving on

THC is a non-commercial group of computer experts focusing on practical and theoretical computer security. The group holds a broad expertise in analysis, design and development of security solutions, ranging from efficient network surveillance scanners to kernel modules for operating systems. In contrast to most security companies, THC aims at analysing and preventing novel, emerging security problems. The group fosters independent research not driven by commerical interests and paradigms.

As they announced in their official sites, since at the end of july 2007, all the tools, articles, and exploits that has been release will discontinued and remove from their server (sites)

The Hacker's Choice is forced to discontinue several of its projects, as these might be effected by a new German 'anti-hacking' law.As a consequence all exploits and many releases have been removed from our web site. We are sorry.

THC was founded in 1995 and published over 70 technical papers and software releases covering a wide range of computer security aspects. Currently, THC is among the top non-commercial security groups worldwide.

Taken from Securityfocus, about another German sites close, as anti-hacking law arrives.

In the latest move, PHP security professional Stefan Esser removed on Friday all exploit code from his Web site dedicated to the Month of PHP Bugs. While reasonable prosecutors would not likely pursue security researchers, the risk is too great, Esser stated.

"The big problem is that the (law) is not clearly written; it allows too much interpretation," Esser stated in the comments to the post. "While our government says that they do not want to punish, for example, hired penetration testers, this is not written down in the law."

Already, a number of other researchers have pulled their tools from their sites or shuttered their sites completely. Late last month, German research group Phenoelit shut down their site, but moved the content to the Netherlands. Earlier this month, the developers of the wireless scanner, Kismac, closed down their site in Germany as well and also said that they would reopen at a later date in the Netherlands.

Phrack are back !

Phrack is an underground ezine made by and for hackers that has been around since November 17, 1985. The magazine is open for contributions by anyone who desires to publish remarkable works or express original ideas on the topics of interest. The articles of Phrack are related to security, hacking, phreaking, anarchism, cryptography, spying, radio broadcasting, coding, conspiracy, and world news.

Two years ago (2005) in their last #63 issue, the staff announce the phrack #63 will be the last phrack release, in their new issue (#64) the staff choose "The Circle of Lost Hackers" as a handle, and their introduce this issue with a statement "This is how the PHRACK63 Introduction was ending, telling everybody that the Staff would have changed and to expect a release sometimes in 2006/2007. This is that release. This is the new staff, "The Circle of Lost Hackers". Every new management requires a presentation and we decided to do it by Prophiling ourselves. Useless to say, we'll keep anonymous, mainly for security reasons that everyone understands". And what can i say "Love to have them back", please welcome the phrack issue

Elementeo’s 13-year-old CEO, highlight of TiECON

By Mark Coker 05.19.07


Elementeo Executive Team

TiECON 2007, the big technology conference in Santa Clara, Calif., kicked off yesterday.

The buzz on the expo floor was about Silicon Valley gaming startup Elementeo and its precocious 13-year old founder and chief executive, Anshul Samar. “We inject fun into education,” the fast talking entrepreneur confidently proclaimed, touting his new fantasy role playing board game which he believes will change the way kids learn chemistry.

The conference featured keynote presentations from the likes of Marc Benioff (Salesforce.com), Vinod Khosla (Khosla Ventures) and Tim O’Reilly (Web 2.0 thinker), but the young Samar better represented the theme of this year’s conference: “The New Face of Entrepreneurship.”

VentureBeat interviewed the diminutive executive at Elementeo’s TiECON booth. Like other charismatic Silicon Valley CEOs – think Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison or Marc Benioff – Mr. Samar exudes confidence, vision and a passion to change the world. He’s more articulate than many CEOs four times his age.

Samar argues that textbooks are boring and kids would rather spend their time battling enemies, blowing things up with bombs, and yes, even giving their opponents lead poisoning. So he created a fantasy role playing game that combines the rapturous teenage joys of competition and carnage with the exciting properties of the periodic table of chemical elements.

Here’s how the game works: You command an army of chemical elements, compounds and catalysts — represented within a 66-card deck (the fire and brimstone card at left is for “Sulfur,” for example). Your opponent has his own deck with the same number of cards. Your goal is to battle your competitor and reduce his IQ down to zero. Pit your oxygen card against your opponent’s iron card, for example, and you learn that you create rust. Score one for oxygen. Kind of like rock-paper-scissors, but with chemicals, dice and 66 impressively illustrated cards featuring monster-themed caricatures of chemicals.

Samar would kick my butt in this game. At least I’d probably learn more about chemistry in an hour of game play than I learned in my high school chemistry class a couple decades ago.

Like all good Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Samar was taking orders at the show even though he won’t start shipping product until he either receives his first 2,500 orders, or he closes a decent round of funding, whichever comes first. As of Saturday, he had already booked 450 pre-orders.

Elementeo’s initial seed funding, which was used to design prototypes, came in the form of a $500 grant from the California Association for the Gifted.

Now Samar says that if he can get $100,000 in funding, it will help him achieve his goal of $1 million in first year revenues by the time he graduates eighth grade in June 2008 (Unlike most Silicon Valley companies, Mr. Samar’s fiscal year ends at the start of summer vacation).

So what happens once the company secures funding? Will Mr. Samar and his team follow in the footsteps of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who famously dropped out of school (in this case, Lawson Middle School in Cupertino) to pursue their ventures full time?

“We’ll still be in school, but we’ll be richer,” joked Mr. Samar’s 13-year-old co-founder Daniel Tan, his big smile exposing a mouthful of braces.

Samar’s sister, who at age 11 serves as the company’s vice president of sales, jokes that after they’re rich, they can hire someone to do their homework. “Just kidding,” she emphasizes.

The company is considering an online version of the game, as well has extending the brand to include games for biology, math, and other school subjects they’ve identified that have “boring textbooks.”

TiECON 2007, attended by 3,800 people, concludes today (Saturday) at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Meg Whitman of eBay keynotes at 9:00am.

Gaim becomes Pidgin

After a long, and unfortunately secret debate (as we could not say why we were looking at a name change, we ended up just doing this ourselves), we settled on the name "Pidgin" for gaim itself, "libpurple" for libgaim (which, as of 2.0.0 beta6, exists), and "Finch" for gaim-text. Yes, the spelling of "Pidgin" is intentional, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin. (source : http://www.pidgin.im )

Bluetooth ver 2.1 + EDR

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group announced a new version of its wireless specification at the CTIA on Tuesday, one that the group says will simplify the pairing process and lower overall power consumption.

Version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) of the Bluetooth Core specification will make the initial connection of Bluetooth devices easier by reducing the number of steps it take to pair one device to another, the SIG said.

Depending on the user and his or her device, there are currently any number of ways to connect via Bluetooth. As the SIG notes, the experience often depends on several factors, such as the ability to call up different menus on a device as well as its own security features.

The improved pairing will feature a consistent—and according to the Bluetooth SIG, an intuitive—pairing process that includes finding, securing, and authenticating the devices, all in a matter of seconds.


According to Michael Foley, executive director of the Bluetooth SIG, version 2.1 + EDR also increases security levels during the pairing process while also releasing the user from having to come up with a long, personal identification number to establish a secure connection.

Instead, this encryption will happen automatically, according to the SIG.

Near Field Communication (NFC) will also be possible in the new updated spec, the SIG said, and users will subsequently be able to hold two devices together at a short range to start the quick pairing process.

The group also said the updated specification will further reduce Bluetooth power consumption by as much as five times in devices such as wireless mice, keyboards, watches, and some medical equipment using a new feature called Sniff Subrating. v According to the Bluetooth SIG Working Group, all devices with Bluetooth version 2.1 + EDR will be backwards compatible with earlier Bluetooth specifications and will support pairing techniques employed by those devices.

The Bluetooth SIG is also currently working with the WiMedia Alliance to incorporate ultra wideband technology into its next version of the specification, creating a dedicated high-speed Bluetooth backchannel, it said.

Version 2.1 + EDR will be ready for members to develop products around in the second half of 2007.

Zone-H got defaced

Defacement archive Zone-h has itself been defaced,

I got this info posted on echo official mailing list sent by Charlie Crespo (our old friends from singapore also a member of SIG^2, hi cecil), the defacement are still on hold till i wrote this post (january, 23rd 2007: 21.10 WIB), in december 2006 zone-h also got defaced.

As i know they are running "apache web server" on linux Operating System and using "Customize" Joomla Content management system.

Updated (Januari, 24th 2007)

Confirmation from R.Preatoni about zone-h.org defacement at zone-h official page

Have you recently seen a different Zone-H when trying to access our pages? Magic of DNS redirection.

It appears that Saudi Arabia crackers managed to get the passwords of our registrar (our registrant panel to be precise), accessed the domain management page and changed the DNS entries, pointing the zone-h domain to an IP address belonging to the crackers on which they mounted the page you saw in the last 48 hours.

48 hours!?! So long it took to take contact with the registrar (they work only through email communication), explain the problem to 8 different people then finally getting a reset of our credentials, taking the domain back in control.

On the funny side, the same problem happened to Google in its German version which yesterday evening was redirected to a different page (different owner actually). In this case (automatic German/English translation) the trick was a bogus domain transfer request that a German provider accepted without explicit authorization from Google Inc. (silence-consense).

What a day! We are so glad we deserve so much of attention.

PS: you will soon find the mirrors in our DB as even though Zone-H wasn't hacked, from the users' point of view it appeared defaced, as only a few users realized they weren't visiting the actual Zone-H server. From the historycal point of view exactly the same incident happened to the Al jazeera sat tv network website, where a hacker managed to trick the registrar to send him the domain control passwords after sending a bogus passport copy during the ID verification process, subsequently changing Al Jazeera's DNS pointing to a different server.

p.s: thats why ive seen a "funny" script at the "Defacement page" yesterdays is the icon linking to zone-h.it

link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.zone-h.it/images/favicon.ico"

well .. well, as an attacker you just need to find the weakest link, isnt it?

Blogger Beta

The new version of Blogger in beta is dead!
Long live the new version of Blogger!
(P.S. The old version of Blogger is not dead, but it would like to retire for a little while... maybe go to Hawaii or play World of Warcraft all day? It begs you to let it play World of Warcraft all day.)

Kata-kata tersebut gw kutip dari situs "buzz blogger" yang merupakan "The official buzz from blogger at google" dan menjelaskan tentang status blogger terkini yang sudah tidak "beta version", sebagaimana di jelaskan oleh images yang terpampang jelas di situs blogger berikut;



Blogger pertama kali di "launch" pada bulan Agustus 1999 oleh "Pyra Labs", dan merupakan salah satu "pionir" tools untuk "nge-blog". Pada February 2003 "Pyra Labs" di "beli" oleh Google, tiga tahun berikutnya dirilislah "blogger beta" denagn codename "invader" disertai berbagai kelebihannya dan akhirnya dirilis versi full.

secara gw pake blogger dah dari awal 2002-an dengan berbagai jenis username dan tutup buka blog, akhirnya yang inilah yang paling awet, sukses terus buat blogger...

IE7 releases

Akhirnya microsoft merilis versi teranyar web browser miliknya yang sebelumnya telah di dahului dengan 5 kali merilis versi beta. Browser milik microsoft yang di kabarkan telah di "godok" secara serius dan memperbaiki celah yang amat banyak di versi sebelumnya ini dapat di download secara gratis di http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads, hummm, let see its power.

Updated: Info dari Secunia.com belum 1 hari ternyata sudah di temukan bug di IE7 ( Internet Explorer 7 "mhtml:" Redirection Information Disclosure )

Gahhh :p

Apkomindo?

I just newly know it, that APKOMINDO is "Asosiasi Penguasa Komputer Indonesia", is it true ?; before this i dont realy know (care) what APKOMINDO according to :P

Reference: http://detikinet.com/index.php/detik.read/tahun/2006/bulan/09/tgl/07/time/064559/idnews/670200/idkanal/417

updated : Somebody tell me about what APKOMINDO refers to, its "ASOSIASI PENGUSAHA KOMPUTER INDONESIA" , but its funny at all n until now Detikinet didnt change it.

Tired but Inspired ..

Yeah.. yeah.. yeah is just another story about BCS06 event, emang gak bisa dipungkiri kejadian 2 hari kemaren menjadi "shock therapy" tersendiri buat gw, Gimana enggak, materi yang melanda "otak" gw selama dua hari itu bagai air bah. Memang sih ini bukan yang pertama kalinya (ini event kedua yang di selenggarakan belua, dan satu-satunya event terbesar di Asia-Pasifik yang sanggup mendatangkan para Hackers kaliber dunia (setelah event blackhat di batalkan tahun lalu untuk wilayah asia)). Dan yang membuat gw makin shock adalah Paul typo Böhm yang merupakan salah satu founder TESO (lihat huruf pertama dari team TESO, yaitu T ? its mean typo) ikut berpartisipasi dan mengisi materi berjudul "Taming Bugs: The Art and Science of writing Secure Code", dan kurang lebih membahas tentang bagaimana menulis kode yang aman dan membahas berbagai celah yang mengakibatkan suatu kode bisa di eksploitasi. (menginggat TESO adalah salah satu grup yang giat membahas dan mempublikasikan celah Format Strings)

Balik lagi ke shock gw dan ke sebuah grup security bernama TESO yang di buat tahun 1998 dan telah memberikan suatu kontribusi berarti bagi industri keamanan di internet, dimana telah banyak hasil riset yang dipublikasikan/tidak dipublikasikan secara umum telah memberikan pelajaran berarti buat kita. Betul,jika bisa di sebut nge-fans, gw amat nge-fans ma grup yang di sebut oleh salah satu membernya Scut dalam interview yang di lakukan oleh Phrack magazine dalam issue 62 yang mengulas prophilenya dia menyebutkan TESO sebagai "Dream Team" dalam "one word comments". Oke, mau tau apa yang menyebabkan gw shock saat bertemu typo ( anggap saja gw berjumpa sama "thom E yorke"-nya RadioHead, atau James Labrie-nya Dream Theater... uhm rasanya lebih ) adalah usianya, ternyata setelah gw cari sedikit informasi (Seperti yang sudah gw ceritakan ke beberapa temen gw) umurnya kurang lebih 23 tahun (tuaan gw 1 tahun), dia buat TESO team bersama 3 teman lainnya pada umur 16 Tahun (gw buat echo umur 21 Tahun; ga ada maksud membandingkan echo dengan TESO :[ ), belajar pemrograman C dsb pada umur 8 tahun (gw belajar pake basic di umur 15 tahun). Dan yang lebih keren lagi ternyata "orangnya" asik, mau banget untuk sharing (sayang keterbatasan kemampuan verbal gw dalam English agak kurang , hehehe). Mengerti kenapa gw jadi shock banget ?.

Balik lagi kenapa gw sangat nge-fans sama TESO, karena pada saat awal-awal mula gw mulai ber-internet sampai gw "terjun ke scene" (if i may say that) kira kira di tahun 1999-2003 yang terdengar adalah kontribusi yang di berikan oleh Team ini (lebih ke nostalgia pribadi), mungkin hanya sedikit Hacking group yang mampu mengukir namanya di Dunia dan TESO adalah salah satunya (walau mereka telah menyatakan diri bubar), jadi TESO adalah salah satu grup idola gw, maka wajar dung gw shock buat ketemu foundernya (tahun kemarin sempat bertemu skyper(TESO member), i wish i could met scut)?? ..

gw sempat mengabadikan foto gw bertiga dengan the-day dan typo



Hehehe, Gw gak ngebahas soal materi BCS nih, gak ngebahas soal teknis juga (ga ada yang perlu gw komentari "Its Awesome"), gak ngebahas pembicara lain ("They Are Great", i dont have to mention them one by one), sori gw cuma ngebahas idola gw, mo tau idola lainnya ? gw pengen ketemu scut (TESO), Van hauser (THC), plasmoid (THC). (jim, bellua ngundang mereka dunk buat tahun ke tiga nanti, n mudah mudahan gw masih di kasih free-pas :P)

Seperti yang gw perbincangkan dengan anonymous-co-editor

(10:47:25) anonymous-co-ed: btw, acara di BCS udah kelar kan?
(10:47:57) ammar_wk: udah :D
(10:48:05) anonymous-co-ed: hehehe :)
(10:48:10) ammar_wk: lagi mo nata hasil shock theraphy kemaren
(10:48:20) anonymous-co-ed: :)
(10:48:20) anonymous-co-ed: ok2x
(10:48:36) ammar_wk: masih shock nih :)
(10:48:47) anonymous-co-ed: emang shock kenapa nih?
(10:48:53) ammar_wk: ibarat ketemu ma james labrie or thom e yorke nih
(10:48:56) ammar_wk: malah lebih :))
(10:49:06) anonymous-co-ed: hehehe :)
(10:49:06) ammar_wk: ketemu ama typo :D
(10:49:13) anonymous-co-ed: =))
(10:49:17) ammar_wk: padahal taun kemaren udah
