Actually, Solaris does have the daemon() function as of Solaris 11:

the javsacript version thing really cracks me up.. hhaha
Lol I think that was his email password.
Sort of reminds me of the scene in Life of Brian where Brian is caught by the Romans defacing the wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaRcwpnsYYI
God, I'm so tired of animated GIFs in GitHub comment threads. The code critique is far more amusing to me.
I'm more shocked that they even allow images to be embedded in comments.
Allow? They just released a feature that lets you drag and drop images into comments — it automatically uploads to s3 and inserts the URL in your comment. For some reason, they encourage it.
I assumed that was because of changes in Skitch. Everyone I know used to take screenshots with Skitch, upload them and Skitch would copy the URL into your clipboard and you could post into Github. But since Evernote bought them they closed things down and they're basically useless now, so I figured that was why Github was motivated to add this feature.
I know that so much. Skitch is so crippled now. It was my favorite fast and simple "here let me point it out and show you" tool for everything. I annotated everything with it. With evernote killing the ease of "let me show" half, whats the point of annotating things and taking screen shots?
If there was ever an opportunity for a disruptive simple startup idea it would be to replicate what skitch did before evernote bought it and broke the original use case.

I've still been using the old version of Skitch, but without the instant upload and copy to clipboard it was a lot less useful.
Then I found these this week:
Skitch to S3 upload (through webdav) — http://brad.me/skitchs3
Skitch to CloudApp upload — http://brad.me/skitchcloud
If you are a CloudApp user (http://getcloudapp.com/) the second one is super slick. Pretty much duplicates the old Skitch functionality and returns a short URL that you can use to post. You can also use a custom domain with CloudApp if you use the paid service.
Totally made Skitch useful again.

I agree, and apparently so do the developers because they still have a download link to the old Skitch on their site:
http://evernote.com/skitch/
Check out this monosnap.com thing that piranha posted in the next comment. It seems to do the basic stuff that I needed from Skitch.
You can still download the old version (the real skitch) right there from evernote: http://evernote.com/skitch/ (small link at the bottom, "previous version").
Skitch supports FTP-upload, so if they turn off sharing in the future you can just switch to your own webspace.
No need to mess with lesser tools (or the evernote-garbage) while Skitch still works!

yep this is what i did. But free FTP services online are hard-ish to come by =(
i wish there is a plugin or kernel extension that modified skitch so that you could upload it to say dropbox. The other method is to point skitch to the local machine and use dropbox to sync, but i think you lose the clipboard thingy.
May be i will just switch to monosnap. But it looks so ugly compared to skitch!

You are right, free was an euphemism. However, you could use a cheap webhoster, those can be had for as low as $0.50/mo and usually come with FTP.
I'm definitely sticking with skitch as long as it works and until a suitable replacement appears.

Re: Skitch, there is a nice app I switched to lately: http://monosnap.com/
Cool, thanks for the suggestion. I had a little trouble creating an account, but I finally got it working. Installed the app and looked around it. Seems slightly less polished than Skitch, but it seems to do everything I need it to do. I'm using it, and just sent the link to my company's devteam.
You can change one setting and it will copy the direct link to the image into your clipboard - Perfect! That's exactly what I want it to do. :)
Thanks again, you made my day!

No Windows support :(
Yes there is - first link in the "Other Platforms" bar under the main image.
A thread about this recently popped up on /r/gamedev over on Reddit. Some recommendations were:
Puush, Greenshot, ShareX, HyperDesktop, Snag.gy, as well as some smaller apps written by users.
Maybe one will be useful for people sad about Skitch!

Try cloudapp
It's useful when there's something wrong with the UI, you can attach a screenshot. Emoticons on the other hand are pretty annoying.
:shipit:
You guys are a bunch of cranky pants
Presumably folks would use it to post screenshots relevant to the code being discussed.
What is happening here? I am not very accustomed to open source yet.
Edit: un-checking "show inline notes" helps.
Edit 2: So if I understand correctly, OP tried to hack into a website... by submitting code to github. I was confused at first because that would have been (very) wrong way to "hack", but as it turns out, that is indeed true. And rest is about the code he/she used. It seems to be auto generated in some wysiwyg html editor that uses old html.

Please GitHub, implement the evil bit [1] on pull requests so we can filter out defacing attempts when merging.

OT: I think everyone has made the Evil Bit/DNT header connection at some point, but it seems especially funny/snarky being tacked on without any further note in the See Also section of the Evil Bit entry. It's not often I get a laugh out of non-content stuff on Wikipedia : )
This attempt is blatant and obvious, but what about a more serious attempt where you first establish some credibility with a couple of "good" PR that fix major problems and then add a tiny little backdoor that loads code from somewhere else. Distribute the relevant code over a couple of commits and you might just slip it in.
With Githubs ease of merging and automatted testing by Travis, it's easy to forget that changes may be actively malicious and not just buggy.

Why not just find an exploit in the code.
Spending months building trust while creating a giant trail of information that can be used to find you and then really pissing off the open-source community seems like a bad plan for someone that is attempting to quietly gain root. Might work if one project is attempting to discredit another project (think closed source vendor trying to steal clients who use opensourced github projects).
I'm not saying someone wont do it, I suspect it has been done a few times, but it is a dumb way to break into computers and far more work/risk than downloading metasploit and using a public exploit.

Because it works even if you can't find a proper codepath to exploit. It might gain you anything you want: A quiet path to leak admin account info to a server of your choice. An attack vector into a system trusted by more than one person.
You don't need to provide much information to get a github account, so the risk is not very much elevated.

1. Unless you are extremely lucky, you have to gain someones trust by posting fixes that do not contain backdoors. This leaves a trail in terms of: coding style, word usage, editor settings (tabs vs spaces), and ip records/timestamps in github. It's not much but it is additional unnecessary exposure.
2. Since the code is publicly available on github it stands a much better chance of discovered later. If you own a server, do you business and change the logs, you have a very very low chance of someone discovering the intrusion after the fact.
3. If someone discovers the backdoor they can setup a honey pot. They might even allow the change to be merged and then wait for you to connect, although this is unlikely. An attacker is potentially forfeiting the element of surprise.
4. Gaining access to a remote server is trivially easy (just use a publicly available exploit before it is patched on your target server), especially if it is a webapp, especially if you have access to the code.
I'm not saying there isn't someone out there that thinks this is great attack method. I'm just saying that an attacker that uses this method is either doing it because they think it is funny or a stupid attacker (there is not shortage of stupid attackers).

Editor settings are not much of a record if you just follow the projects code guidelines. ip-records with github are more of a problem, but I guess you can fake those by using tor or any proxy. And to embed your malicious code over a series of innocent looking commits, have a look at the underhanded c contest: http://underhanded.xcott.com/ There are some true marvels, code that looks innocent as a baby but does malicious things.
So yes, owning a server might be easier in some respects, but owning a project might own you a server you'd never get access to - a machine that runs behind a firewall e.g.
So yes, owning a server might be easier in some respects, but owning a project might own you a server you'd never get access to - a machine that runs behind a firewall e.g.
or better yet, write some code in the same way like this coding contest (where you write some innocent looking code that contains a subtle bug that you can plausibly deny it was intentional...http://underhanded.xcott.com/?page_id=7). This way, the blame trail isn't useful in proving anything!
Thats the ticket!
Something similar to this was attempted with the Linux kernel once: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/felten/linux-backdoor-att...
I say similar because it was not a trusted contributor going rogue but someone actually hacking the public CVS repo.

It is claimed that it also happened to the OpenBSD crypto code: marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=129236621626462&w=2 (a bit of analysis on the story: https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/experts-openbsd-backdoor-... ).
Long story short. The FBI put on its payroll a well paid crypto analyst trusted with commit access to the OpenBSD code. Years after that, somebody claims that the analyst has put on the FBI payroll to implant an hidden weakness in the crypto code. Audit follows; nothing found in the code. FUD still remains.

Someone should write a book about that, it's a great conspiracy theory. Reminds me of Robert Harris - The Ghost in a way.
I think that largely depends on who's maintaining the official repo.
See what happened when oh-my-zsh got careless in testing pull requests: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/pull/1395/files#L1... everyone who got the update (tons of people, as it's self-updating) had their $HOME screwed up, basically breaking the entire shell.
Point being that trust only goes so far here: proper code reviews are what stop these problems.

Pull request might not be a terrible attack vector. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who don't look carefully and just merge them in.
In fact, I might go so far as to say that this was never intended to be merged. I'll assume whoever did this wants their message heard, and while it will never show up on CoderDojo, the hodgepodge of coding styles ensures that the "pull request" will go viral, thus possibly reaching a far greater number of people than it would have otherwise.

What message? I read through the thing and didn't see any message. There's some encoded arabic, but even if I could read arabic, I couldn't read it encoded.
Downloaded that file, removed the JS and took a look in a browser. The Arabic is here(I hope HN can handle the unicode -- I've translated inline -- editorial notes between brackets):
بسم الله رب المجاهدين والشهداء ،،~ In the name of God, lord of martyrs and Moujahidin[no idea how to translate that]

Mujahideen has entered the English vocabulary quite a while ago, so don't worry about not finding a good translation, everyone knows it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahideen
There is actually a message:
"If there is no check on the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions"
"The war continues until the last Zionist remains on the beloved land of Palestine"
cough Shouldn't that be until there are no more Zionists in Palestine? Are they proposing to kill all Zionists until there is just one of them left, and then say "you're the last one here, you can stay".

A better title might not include puerile memes like "Protip".
Being sarcastic is puerile?
Also, "protip" has been in use for what, two decades now? When does something stop being a meme and just become an idiom?
GamePro is, as far as I know, the originator, so sometime between 1989 and 1994 (first time I remember it). So, yeah, about two decades. :)
An idiom is a meme too
In the sense that it is a cultural artifact that is passed along from one individual to another, yes. In the sense that it is something annoying kids on the internet use that must be complained about, no, not necessarily.
I hate the abuse of the word "meme"...
Funnily enough, the abuse of the word "meme" is now a meme.
Yep, password is common enough to unhash pretty easily. People need to learn to salt their hashes for fuck's sake.
In this case, salting would give almost no benefit given the poor password choice.
The pull request included the code that does the hashing:-
Given that such a simple password (8 digits) could be brute forced in seconds on an average PC, even with a salt, it doesn't really matter whether it was salted or not.
A password of "p*l12nJ9£l ~98as2389bvkqsopfq£3oef2[olpe]wog!wei^og(8ni" would take an unrealistic amount of time to brute force, even if unsalted, and it's beyond the scope of any precomputed rainbow tables for similar reasons.
Anyway, it's only a concern if he uses the same password elsewhere.

if( empty( $auth_pass ) || ( isset( $_POST['pass'] ) && ( md5($_POST['pass']) == $auth_pass ) ) )

else
printLogin();

Since rainbow tables look up a password via its hashed value, I believe you could find something else that has a hash collision -- for all we know, it has the same hash as 'ponies'.

Sure, but a hash collision for a specified value is still a needle in a haystack.
The sheer size of the keyspace (2^128) means that rainbow tables can only ever exist for a subset of the keyspace.
1M machines running for a year each capable of doing 20M MD5 hashes a second will still only cover 1/539514153540300709th of the MD5 keyspace.
But, yes, salting would prevent the use of rainbow tables completely.

20M? Doesn't alter your point, but a pair of 3-gen-old ATI graphics cards manage on the order of 5000-6000M:
Hash type: MD5, Hash: 6df23dc03f9b54cc38a0fc1483df6e21
Device #0: [RV870] 850.00 Mhz 1600 SP
Device #1: [RV870] 850.00 Mhz 1600 SP
CURPWD: @uX5G DONE: 22.30% ETA: 1m 34s CURSPD: 6436.3M=3217.8M+3218.6M
This doesn't really change your statement, but 20M MD5 hashes/second is pretty damn wimpy these days. IIRC 20 BILLION is more accurate.
In case anyone's curious and got down to the embedded YouTube video in the code, it's an Arabic-titled video of a screen recording of a Facebook video (further evidence of the author's technical prowess) of two Israelis in a place undergoing rocket fire from Gaza... definitely recent as well as they say "Where's the iron dome!?" in Hebrew. It's about a minute and a half of the rocket sirens blaring and them hearing rockets landing in the distance, screaming out of fright/being startled when they do.
Pretty disturbing stuff, to say the least. Combined with the english text about the Zionists leaving Palestine, I just wanted to shed some light on the intention of the defacement.

Hilarious.
But if I ever need a jury of my peers to audit my coding style to see how good it is, now I know what to do - a pretend-attempted-defacement is bound to be more effective than finding some place on the net to ask 'Is this proper idiomatic javascript?'.

I can't understand how did someone capable of understanding and doing a git pull request can produce this kind of "code".
Or how did he think that he can pull this thing off? is there a "10 ways to hack a website" where a git pull is one of them?
The fact that there is a code snipped a tutorial on "How to Create a Website With Notepad" and the whole thing seems like it came out from an old WYSIWYG editor, the thing obviously was made by a script kiddie. script kiddies uses git now? wow

Thanks for the hilarity before my bedtime.
Yeah, it is quite funny. Love the code critique :)
Hello from then other side of the world!
This guy has got 5 followers now. Are you just waiting for what kind of stuff he comes up with next, haha :D
Funniest pull request thread I've seen this year.
Here's last year's winner: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/commi...

What an obvious mistake he made... that's okay, I fixed it for him.

Either this person is a complete moron, or one of the greatest trolls GitHub has seen in a long time.
Using Github as a public humiliation platform = WIN! I love this code review!

"Social hacking": the next big thing.
Hacktivism? Has been the next big thing for quite a while actually.
Hacktivism is more like hacking for a cause. This is social hacking, where the hack is perpetrated entirely in the social space - adding a PI as a friend on Facebook, having a rival company able to see your LinkedIn profile page or hanging around in your company Skype channels - that sort of thing.
can someone explain? (I am not familiar with github and the whole thing is cryptic to me)
It's equivalent to knocking on someone's door and asking them if you can graffiti their house wall, egg their car, and toilet paper their front yard tree. All while having the graffiti, egg, and toilet paper in your hands in front of their face.
The comments are even better, and so to extend this analogy:
After you ask them, they then criticize your choice of spraypaint ("Krylon? Really? Not using Rustoleum, even though this is clearly for outside application?"), testing that your egg is actually of proper dimension and size, and then sighing in annoyance upon finding out that your toilet paper isn't quilted.

...and then saying "no."
He uses php!1!
Context: CoderDojo is a kid's club for learning to code. Hence the quality.
omg this is awesome.
PROTIP. better than calling someone a sheep.

I don't think they were actually trying to deface the website... I think they just wanted to spread anti-semitism...
What if they are palestinians "being bombed back into middle ages"[1] or from other arab country that provides 1/100th of the opportunities we have to know `how to be a pro hacker`, a foreign language or, say, an expert modern coder that know all the little beautiful standards?

please run jslint on your code before submitting a pull request
There are so many errors that JSLint gives up on this code at 39%.

You really shouldn't declare a variable without using var - can lead to all sorts of scoping problems.
Oh, good catch! You should submit a pull request to fix this

There's a couple of redundant span elements here, when you get time, you could optimise this

can you use a sha512 hash, instead? it's more secure.

Hmm the HTML isnt compliant. Please rebase from master, squash the previous commit and resubmit.
Thanks for your invaluable future contributions
