Integrate Slashdot to Blogger Templates

If you want to have a "Submit this story to slashdot" link for every blog post you create through Blogger.com, then use this code I've just crafted.

Basicly, you just need to replace title and location.href in the original Slashdot code with <$BlogItemTitle$> and <$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$> respectively.

Hope its useful for you!

And don't forget to check out mod_auth_openpgp and Enigform, the apache and firefox extensions for OpenPGP support in the HTTP protocol for signed requests.

Sincerely,
Buanzo.

mod_auth_openpgp 0.2.0 released

Hi people!

mao now adds more useful headers, providing Email address, Fingerprint, Name and Comment! This allows FAR MORE control!

Sys Admin Magazine: Enigform Article

Hi!

Just to tell you an Enigform / mod_auth_opengp article authored by me will be published in the August issue of the famous Sys Admin Magazine! I must deliver the article by the first week of May, so, well, I'll stop coding and start writing.

On other news, the Freshmeat crew has asked for my T-Shirt size, because the article I've published there credits me for a ThinkGeek tshirt :)

Great news :D

mod_auth_openpgp 0.1.0 released

UPDATE: Version 0.2.0 released.

Hi! mod_auth_openpgp 0.1.0, which is Apache's counterpart for Firefox's Enigform, is an OpenPGP verification module for incoming signed HTTP requests which, along mod_access, lets web administrators implement access authorization for valid, OpenPGP-signed requests.

Quick-Building instructions:

1. Edit build.sh to suit your needs/desires.
2. Run it: ./build.sh
3. Modify your Apache's configuration as needed (see below)
   

Requires:

I'm using gpgme 1.1.2 and libgpg-error 1.0. It also benefits from mod_access, although the X-Auth-OpenPGP header that gets added to signed requests can be checked using PHP, CGI, etc.

Load it into Apache with:

LoadModule auth_openpgp_module modules/mod_auth_openpgp.so

Configuration:

Turn it on for specific virtual hosts (or server globally) using the "OpenPGPEngine on" command and with mod_access directives, for example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot "/var/www/localhost/htdocs"
Options FollowSymlinks

<ifmodule mpm_peruser_module>
ServerEnvironment apache apache
</ifmodule>

# Turn on the OpenPGP Engine for this VirtualHost
OpenPGPEngine on

# if the X-Auth-OpenPGP header has the "true" value,
# then set the valid_signature env var to be used as
# decisive factor in the Allow sentence of mod_access.
# X-Auth-OpenPGP cannot be spoofed, as it gets resetted
# if the module has been enabled for the vhost.
# In the future, valid signed requests will also
# have a header which tells mod_access the keyid, eMail address
# and fingerprint of each user [TODO for 0.2.0]

SetEnvIf X-Auth-OpenPGP ^true valid_signature
<directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/pba">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=valid_signature
</directory>

</virtualhost>

And that's it. Go grab Enigform and try it out. Of course, the 'apache' user needs a valid gpg configuration and keyring, or mod_auth_openpgp won't be able to verify signed requests.

Sincerely,
Arturo 'Buanzo' Busleiman

I've written an article about Enigform and mod_auth_openpgp, and it has just been published on Freshmeat! I really am happy :)

NSESCRIPT Updated HTTP Open Proxy test

Hey! :)

As announced, here is the latest HTTP Open Proxy test script for Nmap NSE. Download it from here.

ENJOY IT!

Buanzo.

NSESCRIPT Updated SMTP Open Relay

Hi people!

Today, 13th Friday, I've updated and released a new version of my Nmap NSE script "SMTP Open Relay Test". Grab it from HERE.

It will run a series of tests against SOME_HOST, using service detection (-sV) on the standard ports (-F), then run the script SMTP_openrelay_test.lua against those ports that have a running smtp service. Later on it will let you know the results ;)

Hope you enjoy it. At least I did. I found out that almsot 50% of .edu.ar's mailservers are open relays (yeah, I reported that!). Too bad they didn't do anything.

I've also updated the HTTP Open Proxy test script. Read about it here.

Sincerely,
Buanzo.

mod_auth_openpgp ALPHA released

UPDATE: New Version available, Beta. Also check/subscribe to releases through Freshmeat.

Hi guys!

What is this? Simple: Remember Enigform, the Firefox extension I wrote so HTTP requests could be signed using OpenPGP? Well, this is an Apache module to support access authorization at Apache's global server/virtualhost/directory level. Pretty neat :P

I just wanted to let you know that the first ALPHA release of mod_auth_openpgp is ready. It has *NO* configuration options, so you need the user under your apache user to have gpg up and running with a keyring containing all public keys that will be enabled to access the Apache instance your Enigform-enabled Firefox will connect to.

To download the horrible source tarball, go here:

http://www.buanzo.com.ar/files/mod_auth_openpgp-alpha1.tgz

Check out the included README.

And remember, this is ALPHA! :P

Sincerely,
Buanzo

Enigform for Apache: mod_auth_openpgp

Hi people!

Now that Enigform for Firefox 0.8.0 is about to be released, I've decided it was time to freeze it for a while. This will allow me to finish the Apache module mod_auth_openpgp, which will allow webmasters to implement per VirtualHost and per Directory/Location access authorization.

To give you a better image:

OpenPGPEngine On
OpenPGPKeyring /foo/bar/etc...

<directory>
AuthType OpenPGP
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile /my/app/user-list.txt
</directory>

That's not exactly the idea, but it gives a good picture.

Let me know if you want to contribute to this project!

Sincerely,
Buanzo
