  • Bizarre Websites On Which You Can Kill Time With StyleBy Julia MayMay 25th, 2010Design42 Comments AdvertisementModern Web-building technologies allow designers to realize their most daring and creative ideas. Enhanced interactivity and a remarkable visual appearance can be achieved by means of such tools as Flash, JavaScript and Papervision3D, to name just a few. These strengths usually impress and entertain visitors and thus are often used for conceptual artistic presentations and promotional campaigns.In this post, you’ll find a collection of amusing websites that, by combining unconventional (and sometimes bizarre) ideas and clever JavaScript and Flash effects, will entice you to play on them for an embarrassing long time.[Offtopic: By the way, did you know that Smashing Magazine has a mobile version?

Technology Review: Mapping the Malicious Web - 1 views

  • Now a researcher at Websense, a security firm based in San Diego, has developed a way to monitor such malicious activity automatically. Speaking at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco last week, Stephan Chenette, a principal security researcher at Websense, detailed an experimental system that crawls the Web, identifying the source of content embedded in Web pages and determining whether any code on a site is acting maliciously. Chenette's software, called FireShark, creates a map of interconnected websites and highlights potentially malicious content. Every day, the software maps the connections between nearly a million websites and the servers that provide content to those sites. "When you graph multiple sites, you can see their communities of content," Chenette says. While some of the content hubs that connect different communities could be legitimate--such as the servers that provide ads to many different sites--other sources of content could indicate that an attacker is serving up malicious code, he says. According to a study published by Websense, online attackers' use of legitimate sites to spread malicious software has increased 225 percent over the past year.

    Over the past couple of years, cybercriminals have increasingly focused on finding ways to inject malicious code into legitimate websites. Typically they've done this by embedding code in an editable part of a page and using this code to serve up harmful content from another part of the Web. But this activity can be difficult to spot because websites also increasingly pull in legitimate content, such as ads, videos, or snippets of code, from outside sites.

    This is interesting, but, with all that I'm doing with trying to do the same thing on my new site (which I'd like you to take a look at sometime, FishMan, for your worldly advice!) www.jackdlogan.com - it's a mess right now, but I can't get access to the Apple servers in the cloud this morning!) I'm not so sure I want to do both at the same time. If you do anything with it, let me know what you think, please!

  •  
    Hey, thanks for the look - Diggo corrected to Diigo, ... THANKS! - I thought Visual Complexity was your site, ... not? I have a failing memory and I remembered in one of our Twine conversations that somehow I got the impression that that's your web site. I love the site, but I'll put it somewhere else, if it's not yours.
