This post was due since the Bank of India hack incident, and was fueled by PDP’s Drive-by Java post, which is a very simple, yet a well thought of extension (sort of) to the Drive-by Download attack. This post is aimed to provide a clearer understanding of the Drive-by Download attack (via a demo).
Citing Wikipedia, [...]
Update: Aah. It’s not that there couldn’t have been any better news :P, but today’s News is that Ma1 has agreed to provide feature to block frames through NoScript from the next version (1.1.7). NoScripts Rocks.

Now back to the topic.
Almost all the huge players are now [...]
I posted a very small article on Google Bombs; and quite co-incidentally few days later read that Google has started diffusing the bombs. Now “started diffusing…” makes sense when it has to be done manually, but aren’t we talking about terabytes and petabytes of data? We can never expect it to be done manually. Moreover, [...]
I stay back in the office during night and return back at around 6-7 am, when everybody is coming :). These nights are supposed to be LONELY as I am the only one in the building (actually in all the four buildings combined), apart from the security guards and office boys, of course. However, I’ve [...]
