postnuke compromised
by josx 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Posted by Rich Miller at 02:40 PM UTC on Oct 26, 2004 in Hackers have compromised the download server for the open source PostNuke content management system, redirecting users to malicious code in place of the .zip download of the PostNuke program. The hacked code was distributed for more than 32 hours before PostNuke site maintainers addressed the security breach. PostNuke users who installed a zip archive downloaded between 11:50 pm Sunday night and 8:30 a.m. today face a grim scenario. According to a statement on the PostNuke site, all data submitted during the installation - including the server name, database credentials, admin name and password - were likely sent to the hackers. In addition, "in one file there was code allowing a malicious user to execute any shell command on the web server." Either scenario would allow the attackers to gain control of the site where PostNuke was installed. The tar.gz download file was not affected. The tar format is traditionally used by Unix and Linux, while Zip is the leading Windows archive format.

Brasil:Softawe Libre genera ahorros por U$S 9, 9 millones
by Martín Olivera 27 Oct '04

http://www.aporrea.org/dameverbo.php?docid=51442 Brasilia - El empleo de software libre en 15 órganos del gobierno federal generó una economía de US$ 9,9 millones (R$ 28,5 millones) en licencias, desde octubre de 2003 -cuando se implantó el sistema- hasta septiembre pasado. Los datos constan en la encuesta divulgada por el Instituto Nacional de Tecnologías de la Información, una agencia federal vinculada a la Casa Civil de la Presidencia de la República. La encuesta se hizo en 88 órganos federales. Según el presidente del Instituto, Sergio Amadeu, la aplicación del software libre en los órganos del gobierno federal continúa realizandose segun lo planeado. -- Martín Olivera ---------------------------- Asociáte a SOLAR!

parece interesante

27 Oct '04

Los días 17 al 21 de noviembre del presente año, se darán cita en Caracas algunos de los máximos representantes a nivel mundial y nacional del movimiento del Software Libre en el marco del 1er Foro Mundial del Software Libre. En este sentido, el Grupo de Usuarios Linux de Mérida, (http://gulmer.funmrd.gov.ve) es uno de lo copatrocinantes institucionales, razón por la cual estamos desarrollando una labor divulgativa del evento. El software libre es una manera de pensar, de vivir, de hacer software, toda una corriente donde confluyen elementos filosóficos y técnicos. Mediante el software libre se puede hacer software apegado a altos estándares de calidad, utilizando tecnologías estándar que permitan la libertad de distribuir, modificar, rehacer y tener acceso al código del objeto final con lo cual no se está sujeto a una tecnología propietaria. Esta razón es la que ha permitido que en nuestos países, donde el factor económico juega un rol fundamental en la toma de decisiones, las miradas se hayan vuelto hacia esta tendencia tecnológica que ha demostrado a lo largo de muchos años y en diferentes segmentos su utilidad, estabilidad y funcionabilidad. Quizás el Software Libre despierte muchas suspicacias por no existir alguna compañía que centralice su desarrollo y preste apoyo a los usuarios finales, no obstante, alrededor del Software Libre existe una comunidad activa que cuenta por miles el número de sus individuos y que da soporte a los diferentes proyectos que se cobijan en él. Sea entonces propicia la oportunidad para invitarles a todos a esta cita, donde podrán despejar sus dudas y tener otra visión del Software Libre. En nuestra página web, http://gulmer.funmrd.gov.ve, hay mayor información. Para finalizar estamos organizando algunas jornadas, charlas y festivales de instalación, además de que sabemos que existen estudiantes

patentes de soft por rms
by Diego Saravia 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

How to fight software patents - singly and together rms Software patents are the software project equivalent of land mines: Each design decision carries a risk of stepping on a patent, which can destroy your project. Developing a large and complex program means combining many ideas, often hundreds or thousands of them. In a country that allows software patents, chances are that some substantial fraction of the ideas in your program will be patented already by various companies. Perhaps hundreds of patents will cover parts of your program. A study in 2004 found almost 300 U.S. patents that covered various parts of a single important program. It is so much work to do such a study that only one has been done. Practically speaking, if you are a software developer, you will usually be threatened by one patent at a time. When this happens, you may be able to escape unscathed if you find legal grounds to overturn the patent. You may as well try it; if you succeed, that will mean one less mine in the field. If this patent is particularly threatening to the public, the Public Patent Foundation may take up the case; that is its specialty. If you ask for the computer-using community's help in searching for prior publication of the same idea, to use as evidence to overturn a patent, we should all respond with whatever useful information we might have. However, fighting patents one by one will never eliminate the danger of software patents, any more than swatting mosquitoes will eliminate malaria. You cannot expect to defeat every patent that comes at you, any more than you can expect to kill every monster in a video game: sooner or later, one is going to defeat you and damage your program. The U.S. patent office issues around 100,000 software patents each year; our best efforts could never clear these mines as fast as they plant more. Some of these mines are impossible to clear. Every software patent is harmful, and every software patent unjustly restricts how you use your computer, but not every software patent is legally invalid according to the patent system's criteria. The software patents we can overturn are those that result from "mistakes," where the patent system's rules were not properly carried out. There is nothing we can do when the only relevant mistake was the policy of allowing software patents. To make a part of the castle safe, you've got to do more than kill the monsters as they appear -- you have to wipe out the generator that produces them. Overturning existing patents one by one will not make programming safe. To do that, we have to change the patent system so that patents can no longer threaten software developers and users. There is no conflict between these two campaigns; we can work on the short-term escape and the long-term fix at once. If we take care, we can make our efforts to overturn individual software patents do double duty, building support for efforts to correct the whole problem. The crucial point is not to equate "bad" software patents with mistaken or invalid software patents. Each time we invalidate one software patent, each time we talk about our plans to try, we should say in no uncertain terms, "One less software patent, one less menace to programmers: the target is zero." The battle over software patents in the European Union is reaching a crucial stage. The European Parliament voted a year ago to reject software patents conclusively. In May, the Council of Ministers voted to undo the Parliament's amendments and make the directive even worse than when it started. However, at least one country that supported this has already reversed its vote. We must all do our utmost right now to convince an additional European country to change its vote, and to convince the newly elected members of the European Parliament to stand behind the previous vote.
