Simulating Email in .NET

The Article has images
2008-08-01 13:59:01 by keith-brown in Security Briefs
I use email as a notification mechanism a lot, and often in class I'll demo sending email via a technique that I use frequently when developing code. It allows you to simulate sending an email message The trick to doing this is not to hardcode things like host, port, etc. for your SMTP server when you use System.Net.Mail to send mail. Instead,...

New Audio comment line number - +1-415-830-5439 (and ditching K7.net)

2007-12-19 11:03:29 by HASH0x89eb6f0 in Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast
 
Here is our new comment line number: +1-415-830-5439 Here's the story To my immense annoyance, it seems that we have once again lost our K7.net call-in number for comments: +1-206-350-7280. That isn't the bad part, really... what annoys me most is that the number still appears to work! You can call it up and leave a message, but if it goes...

Adding webwise.net into the CNI

2008-04-05 14:13:01 by Richard Clayton in Light Blue Touchpaper
 
The way in which the Phorm system works (see yesterdays blog post ) creates an interesting, and possibly unexpected, risk for the ISPs that decide to go ahead and deploy the system Quite clearly , web browsing from within these ISPs now depends on the correct functioning of the Layer 7 switch and Phorms Anonymiser machine. This should not be too...

Comcast.net not Hacked, DNS Records Hijacked

The Article has images
2008-05-30 07:58:46 by Dancho Danchev in Dancho Danchev's Blog - Mind Streams of Information Security Knowledge
Two days ago in a show off move, the Kryogenics team managed to change the DNS records of Comcast.net , and consequently, redirect traffic to third-party servers, which in this incident only served a defaced-looking like page, and denied email services to Comcast's millions of email users for a period of three hours The message they appear to...

ASP.NET Health Monitoring doesn't log inner exception stack trace

2008-08-01 16:21:00 by keith-brown in Security Briefs
 
This can be a problem, especially when an ObjectDataSource starts throwing exceptions. The stack trace looks the same because of the way the methods are invoked (via reflection) - you end up with a stack trace for a TargetInvocationException, which basically says, "I used reflection to invoke some method, and it threw an exception. See the inner...

Better exception reporting in ASP.NET

2008-08-01 20:30:05 by keith-brown in Security Briefs
 
In my last post , I commented on how ASP.NET health monitoring doesn't output stack traces for inner exceptions, which can be problematic due to its heavy reliance on reflection. I spent the morning doing some further spelunking with reflector , and my first solution was to implement a custom WebEvent that overrides ToString() to format itself...
