Java: Applet Calendar Bug Exploit for Mac OS X

Eric — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:28:42 +0000

You may have read about the Calendar bug that allows an applet to leave its normal privileges and engage in local privileges. This mainly effects Mac OS X due to their unpatched version of Java. Basically, it allows someone to run any Java code on the a client’s computer they wish just by the client visiting their url. I won’t go into the details how it works, you can read up on the proof of concept blogs here:

http://blog.cr0.org/2009/05/write-once-own-everyone.html

I got curious how this works, but no source code was available so I gave it a shot. So I now have a proof of concept and some source code to share. You can visit the proof of concept url here: http://www.therareair.com/javaexploit. If the exploit effects you, you can find a new directory on your desktop “Hi”.

The source code can be found here: Source Code

When I get more time I can maybe comment how it works and what files do what. Pretty sure you can figure it out with the source though.

That’s it.
Happy coding!

- Check ip address every hour/min
- Hide in system tray

Version Notes:
v5.2b
- Added Port to SMTP.

Windows: NRA DMSA to M3U Converter v2.3

Eric — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:03:02 +0000

This little program will convert your Nero or Roxio music compilations to regular m3u playlists to play in your favorite media player such as Windows Media Player or Winamp. As a user, you will be able to select the source of the .nra or .dmsa file and then select where to save the converted m3u file. You will not lose your original .nra or .dmsa file. Should work on anything with Java 1.4 or higher. Double click the downloaded file to open. Best if used with Roxio v9.0 Suite or Nero v8.0 as lower versions are no longer guaranteed to work as I don’t test these.

You may find v2.2 on download.com.
You may find v2.3 here.

Version Notes:
v2.3 – Added support for Nero v5.0.

MAC OSX: EyeConsoleCD v1.1

Eric — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 05:48:13 +0000

Eye Console Core Data is a Mac OS X 10.5 application that watches your console for a customizable combination of searches such as messages, application name, between dates, and PID…and reports to the growl notification system. It will also rollover with the log-rollover that Leopard does every night at midnight.

I’ve included the source that has many different coding methods such as Core Data, Bindings, Launchd (starting at startup), NTask (tailing), hiding of dock icon, multi-threading, integration with growl framework, and adding an icon to system status bar. I use it at work for reporting errors in the console but I’m sure it could be useful for other things.

Dockreplacz0r is an app that I threw together that replaces your leopard dock with a downloaded one from sites such as www.leoparddocks.com or www.dockulicious.com. I’ve included the source code for anyone interested.
