Sin su apoyo, no lo hubiera hecho. En segundo lugar, quiero agradecer a mis amigos Rafa y Carmen, su interés e insistencia para que llegara este momento. Por sus consejos y por su amistad, les debo mi gratitud. Por otra parte, quiero agradecer a mis compañeros asesores militares de Nextel Engineering sus explicaciones y sabios consejos, que sin duda han sido muy oportunos para escribir el capítulo cuarto de este trabajo. Del mismo modo, agradecer a Pepe Hevia, arquitecto de software de Alhambra Eidos, los buenos ratos compartidos alrrededor de nuestros viejos proyectos sobre XMPP y que encendieron prodigiosamente la mecha de este proyecto.

  • Users As Co-Designers of Software-Based Media: the Co-Construction of Internet Relay Chat
    Users as Co-Designers of Software-Based Media: The Co-Construction of Internet Relay Chat Guillaume Latzko-Toth Université Laval AbsTrAcT While it has become commonplace to present users as co-creators or “produsers” of digital media, their participation is generally considered in terms of content production. The case of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) shows that users can be fully involved in the design process, a co-construction in the sense of Science and Technology Studies (STS): a collective, simultaneous, and mutual construction of actors and artifacts. A case study of the early de - velopment of two IRC networks sheds light on that process and shows that “ordinary users” managed to invite themselves as co-designers of the socio-technical device. The article con - cludes by suggesting that IRC openness to user agency is not an intrinsic property of software- based media and has more to do with its architecture and governance structure. Keywords Digital media; Communication technology; Co-construction; Design process; Ordinary user résumé Il est devenu banal de présenter l’usager comme cocréateur ou « produtilisateur » des médias numériques, mais sa participation est généralement envisagée comme une production de contenus. Le cas d’IRC (Internet Relay Chat) montre que les usagers des médias à support logiciel peuvent s’engager pleinement dans le processus de conception, une co-construction au sens des Science and Technology Studies : une construction collective, simultanée et mutuelle des acteurs et des artefacts. Une étude de cas portant sur le développement de deux réseaux IRC éclaire ce processus et montre que les « usagers ordinaires » sont parvenus à s’inviter comme co-concepteurs du dispositif.

Overview: SeaMonkey is an open-source software suite from the Mozilla Foundation which provides a Web browser, Mail and Usenet client, an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client and an HTML editing utility. Several flaws were found in the way in which SeaMonkey processed certain malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2007- 5338, CVE-2007-5339, and CVE-2007-5340 to these issues. Several flaws were found in the way in which SeaMonkey displayed malformed web content. A web page containing specially-crafted content could potentially trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2007-1095, CVE-2007-3844, CVE- 2007-3511, and CVE-2007-5334 to these issues. A flaw was found in the SeaMonkey sftp protocol handler. A malicious web page could access data from a remote sftp site, possibly stealing sensitive user data. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007- 5337 to this issue. A request-splitting flaw was found in the way in which SeaMonkey generates a digest authentication request. If a user opened a specially-crafted URL, it was possible to perform cross-site scripting attacks, web cache poisoning, or other, similar exploits.

  • TAS Alumni News Volume 15 Summer 2014
    TAIPEI AMERICAN SCHOOL VOLUME Summer 15 2014 TASTAS AlumniAlumni NewsNews A Message from the Superintendent hrough the lens of securing a strong foundation, establishing Toutstanding programs, recruiting and retaining the highest quality personnel, and communicating the value of the TAS experience, alumni watch their institution grow. Colin Powel, the first African American appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State, instructed, “Have a vision. Be demanding.” We have demanded a great deal to bring the vision for our students into focus. With a firm financial foundation in place, we have been able to erect beautiful, green facilities that have enhanced programs and student learning across all three divisions. The Tiger Center provides the educational resources that we have come to expect from a world class fitness center. The construction of the Black Box Theater has already enriched our performing arts program in the upper school. By moving upper school classrooms into the new buildings, we have been able to expand our middle and lower school facilities. The middle school, now with a stronger educational culture and identity, extends vertically over four floors. Like the middle school, the lower school is now characterized by its customized, dedicated learning spaces. A growth in space means a growth in programs. Most impressive is the introduction of a middle school competitive sports program. This comprehensive competitive sports program prepares our students to be capable athletes and gracious competitors at the upper school level and in life. Our programs continue to excel in other areas as well. Public speaking, serves as an example of program excellence that has grown for TAS students.

  • A Tool for Internet Chatroom Surveillance
    A Tool for Internet Chatroom Surveillance Ahmet C¸amtepe, Mukkai S. Krishnamoorthy, and B¨ulent Yener ? Department of Computer Science, RPI, Troy, NY 12180, USA. {camtes, moorthy, yener}@cs.rpi.edu Abstract. Internet chatrooms are common means of interaction and communications, and they carry valuable information about formal or ad-hoc formation of groups with diverse objectives. This work presents a fully automated surveillance system for data collection and analysis in Internet chatrooms. The system has two components: First, it has an eavesdropping tool which collects statistics on individual (chatter) and chatroom behavior. This data can be used to profile a chatroom and its chatters. Second, it has a computational discovery algorithm based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to locate hidden communities and communication patterns within a chatroom. The eavesdropping tool is used for fine tuning the SVD-based discovery algorithm which can be deployed in real-time and requires no semantic information processing. The evaluation of the system on real data shows that (i) statistical prop- erties of different chatrooms vary significantly, thus profiling is possible, (ii) SVD-based algorithm has up to 70-80% accuracy to discover groups of chatters. 1 Introduction and Background Internet chatrooms provide for an interactive and public forum of communica- tion for participants with diverse objectives. Two properties of chatrooms make them particularly vulnerable for exploitation by malicious parties. First, the real identity of participants are decoupled from their chatroom nicknames. Second, multiple threads of communication can co-exists concurrently. Although human- monitoring of each chatroom to determine who-is-chatting-with-whom is possible, it is very time consuming hence not scalable.

  • Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
    Internet Relay Chat (IRC) http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/applications-for-the-mesh/118-interne... Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Written by Rusty Haddock/AE5AE INSTALLING an IRC Server (Internet Relay Chat) on your WRT54G,GS,GL Version 1.02 April 2 nd , 2014 Rusty Haddock/AE5AE NEW AND IMPROVED! WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS. This document will attempt to describe how to install an IRC server on a WRT54G, GS, or GL Broadband-Hamnet TM node. This server program is called ngircd -- Next Generation IRC Daemon (or service). This document is written to get you up and running. Unlike the previous versions, no knowledge of shell access or the 'vi' editor is needed, because a minimal, yet unique, configuration has been created for you. WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT. This document will NOT even START to tell you how to administer or control said server program because there are plenty of help files and tutorials on the Internet. Hint: Google is your friend. Second hint: http://www.irchelp.org Third hint: http://ngircd.barton.de WHAT IS AN IRC SERVER? An Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Server is a program that facilitates real-time, keyboard-to-keyboard chat sessions, not only between two people, but between many people simultaneously. Conversations are held in channels (which are synonymous with 'rooms') and new channels can (usually) be created as needed by the users with the /join command. The users make use of an IRC client program to connect to an IRC server and access the channels available. WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE AN IRC SERVER? An IRC server will permit simple text messaging between any users of a mesh with an IRC client program.
