After 1 year of “work in progress” page, i decided to put online some of our photo, it’s a random choice from our photos made with F-spot export tool.

It’s only a very small part, without galleries, descriptions and comments, but it’s better than a “coming soon” text in a white page.

I hope to finish the new version before Christmas…

For all nintendo lovers out there a Super Mario Audiosound Super-Synth made with flash.

This weekend, one of our server has been turned off because our ISP find on it a Phishing site. After some analisys we find that all problems comes from a domain with imageVue (a flash/php image gallery) installed.

The vulnerability is damn simple: the upload script doesn’t check credentials and doesn’t check file extension so anyone can go to http://urlofscript/admin/upload.php?path=../pathyouwant and upload everything.

Fortunately the system is clean and uncompromized, but the exploiter installed on it a “nice” phishing site for http://banca-bancolombia.com the same damn thing also described on this post.

The vulnerability is well described on securityfocus. So if you run ImageVue on your website make sure it’s a safe version.

After we upgrade all linux machines to FC6, the Adobe Acrobat Reader (v. 7.0.8-1 installed via rpm) application failed to start entering a sort of loop eating a lot of cpu %.

Launching Acrobat from commandline the error repeated was: “expr: syntax error”

Googoling a little i found a solution that works on all machines:

Open /usr/bin/acroread with your text editor

Go to line 418 and replace this line:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

with this one:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

All in the same line without line breaks.

Now kill all Acrobat process alredy opened and try to relaunch Acrobat. It should works
