  • Large-Scale, Automatic XSS Detection Using Google Dorks
    Large-Scale, Automatic XSS Detection using Google Dorks Riccardo Pelizzi Tung Tran Alireza Saberi Abstract XSS Attacks continue to be prevalent today, not only because XSS sanitization is a hard problem in rich- formatting contexts, but also because there are so many potential avenues and so many uneducated developers who forget to sanitize reflected content altogether. In this paper, we present Gd0rk, a tool which em- ploys Google’s advanced search capabilities to scan for websites vulnerable to XSS. It automatically generates Figure 1: CVE vulnerabilities for 2010 and maintains a database of parameters to search, and uses heuristics to prioritize scanning hosts which are degrees of client-side support with a primarily server- more likely to be vulnerable.

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

Networked Systems Security October 2020 The information age brought about radical changes in our lives. More and more assets are getting connected to the Internet. On the one hand, the connectivity to this ever-growing network of connected devices and assets (the Internet) precipitates more convenience and access to various resources. However, on the downside, the Internet could be the hotbed for malicious actors like hackers, attackers, and cybercriminals’ communities. Continuous Penetration testing and monitoring of the sites, and forums providing illicit digital products and services is a must-do task nowadays. Advanced searching techniques could be employed for discovering such forums and sites. Google dorks that are utilizing Google’s advanced searching techniques could be applied for such purpose. Google dorks could be used for other areas that we will explain during this thesis in more detail like information gathering, vulnerability detection, etc. The purpose of this thesis is to propose advanced searching techniques that will help cybersecurity professionals in information gathering, reconnaissance, vulnerability detection as well as cyber criminal investigative tasks. Further, a usability study has been conducted to examine the acceptance of these techniques among a group of cybersecurity professionals.

  • Rethinking the Participatory Web Final
    Preprint version of Stevenson, Michael. 2014. “Rethinking the Participatory Web: A History of HotWired’s ‘New Publishing Paradigm,’ 1994–1997.” New Media & Society, October. doi: 10.1177/1461444814555950. Title Rethinking the participatory web: A history of HotWired’s ‘new publishing paradigm,’ 1994-1997. Author Michael Stevenson University of Amsterdam [email protected] Abstract This article critically interrogates key assumptions in popular web discourse by revisiting an early example of web ‘participation.’ Against the claim that Web 2.0 technologies ushered in a new paradigm of participatory media, I turn to the history of HotWired, Wired magazine’s ambitious web-only publication launched in 1994. The case shows how debates about the value of amateur participation vis-à-vis editorial control have long been fundamental to the imagination of the web’s difference from existing media. It also demonstrates how participation may be conceptualized and designed in ways that extend (rather than oppose) 'old media' values like branding and a distinctive editorial voice. In this way, HotWired's history challenges the technology-centric change narrative underlying Web 2.0 in two ways: first, by revealing historical continuity in place of rupture, and, second, showing that 'participation' is not a uniform effect of technology, but rather something constructed within specific social, cultural and economic contexts. Keywords web history, participation, Web 2.0, cyberculture, digital utopianism, Wired !1 Introduction In the mid-2000s, a series of popular accounts celebrating the web’s newfound potential for participatory media appeared, from Kevin Kelly’s (2005) proclamation that active audiences were performing a ‘bottom-up takeover’ of traditional media and Tim O’Reilly’s (2005) definition of ‘Web 2.0’ to Time’s infamous 2006 decision to name ‘You’ as the person of the year (Grossman, 2006).
