wordpress vulnerabilities and no-script

September 6th, 2009

So wordpress installs everywhere have been under pretty heavy attack, and the attack seems to be evolving – they’re reading the same pages we are to remove the hacked code.

I found a good way to check if you’re hacked is to install noscript (http://noscript.net/) firefox extension.

Then navigate to your “Users” page in wp-admin and if you have been hacked into you’ll see extra admin users (in my case three). They are well created using names from your email address etc. They can be deleted in the usual way- keep checking to make sure they don’t reappear AND make sure you’re updated to wordpress 2.8.4

This really shows the power and dangers of javascript.

BBC iPlayer for Mac — Installation and First Look

December 19th, 2008

The BBC has finally made a version of their iPlayer that works on the mac… it works well and puts the Mac licence-fee payers on the same level as Windows users. The release is a bit haphazard- i found it almost impossible to find out where to download the program from and you need the labs feature enabled. All the links and details are below. This program only works in the UK.
