Ohai readers,
One of the classes I'm taking this semester is Computer Science 460: Intro. to Computer and Network Security (an old website from the course is linked in for reasons I'd rather not get bogged down in). It covers exactly what the description says it covers, and one of the things we have to do in this class is give a short presentation on a recent security vulnerability. I took a break from my usual hunting grounds to give this presentation on Tunisian Javascript injection shortly before the "Jasmine Revolution". It was kind of rushed, and putting Javascript code on a PowerPoint slide seemed like a better idea before I gave the presentation, but I think it's a cool illustration of the kinds of tricks that are possible in an authoritarian regime where all of the IT infrastructure is under strict state control.
Yes, I know there was a presidential election in Kyrgyzstan. I will probably blog about this when I go home for Thanksgiving Break.
