Can Under the Radar Posts have Security Issues?

Dear Google,
This is only a test and example of an issue discovered while monitoring SideWiki Comments.
If a MalFormed URL is typed a sidewiki comment can be made on the side of the page.
Many custom 404 pages will need to have special monitoring due to the number of possible malformed pages.

This could be endless.

Suggestion would be to disallow Error Pages from comments.

Just my suggestion:

TeamViewer Session Hijacking (FireWall Info)

Helpful information about "http://www.xtremecomputer.com/articles/view_article.asp?v=59".

If you are a TeamViewer user or a business that uses TeamViewer to remotely connect to computers online you should read this and follow a few simple checks to make sure what happened to me doesn't happen to you.

TeamViewer Server seems to have been hacked and the hackers are picking up on the Session ID's.

In my Case it was 2 outside connections during my TeamViewer Session with a friend.
Both attempted to access my computer and my friends computer.
Because I was running an old version of TinySoftware I noticed the connection attempt and noted who and where it was. On the remote system it was only running Sunbelt Personal Firewall which allows TeamViewer to pass without even a challenge.

If I didn't see it for myself I might not have believed it but this is what the person did while I was watching.

They moved the remote mouse to minimize the screens to display the TeamViewer information. They highlighted the Session ID and with a Right Click I saw them Copy the session ID. (It was interesting that they didn't use key commands. )

Next I pulled up Notepad and typed "WHO ARE YOU?"
They minimized it and went to the machine name.
I restarted the remote computer before they could continue.

This experience had me up in arms and deleted the TeamViewer from all my systems and emailed my friend to remove it.

The weak link is their own server which has to be the way they knew about the connected computers.

Good luck if you still use it. I would recommend getting a firewall that blocks TeamViewer that allows you to select a single IP address. With that you can control just how many others connect during your session. But unless both computers have the same firewall strength one of you might not be safe.

Google Toolbar Update from 6. to 6.3

Helpful information about "Track SideWiki Comments by UserAgent".

If you removed the Google Toolbar UserAgent entry GTB6 before you might want to take a look at where the update is located so you can remove that entry as well.

This is mostly for webmasters that are using the code to track sidewiki comments by UserAgent. This way you don't send yourself a few hundred emails.

Still I'm not sure why you would track anything by UserAgent but for those that haven't read other forum posts at XtremeComputer.Com that might be the only method of checking for SideWiki Comments.

Going beyond Monitoring. API for Hall of Fame!

This post here is looking for website owners or webmasters that need to control or monitor webpages for SideWiki comments.

http://www.webproworld.com/web-programming-discussion-forum/92857-sidewiki-comment-monitor-api.html

Now I've been setting up a new API to vote for your favorite SideWiki comment from any site in the world.

Feel free to browse on over and give it a try.
The Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame are set in Beta at this time but after a few hundred votes and posts I'll be letting it go on a wider scale.

You can also view the sites being monitored from this page or at least find a link to the RSS feed. http://www.xtremecomputer.com/addnew10.asp
SideWiki is really cool if you ask me. Maybe it's because I don't mind public comments on the sides of my pages.

SideWiki Hall of Fame and Shame.

Helpful information about "http://www.xtremecomputer.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=240".

When you get into SideWiki you really can start seeing positive ways of using the information to get the word out.
Google has the vote Yes or No if the information was helpful which is good.

But if I remember Internet Users like to see from time to time really Great Comments and Really Bad Comments.

If you would like to vote for Hall of Fame comments visit the forum post linked above to read what you need to do. It's simple to do.

The SideWiki API development continues and if you see any errors or have suggestions feel free to leave me a SideWiki or Send a Suggestion.

So much for Tracking UserAgent for SideWiki.

Helpful information about "http://www.xtremecomputer.com/forum/topic.asp?topic_id=234".

For those that don't want people tracking them by their Google Toolbar.
>Start > Run > RegEdit
Search for GTB6
Delete the Entry
(It will be in this section HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent)
Or you can be creative and change the GTB6 to 1234, your name, initials whatever your heart desires.

SideWiki has very poor eyesight.

I don't know if everyone is seeing the same thing but Googles SideWiki seems to have very poor EyeSight.

When you visit a forum page that has SideWiki comments in it directly you can see them just fine.
But when you visit a forum link via the main page the same SideWiki Comments are not displayed.
I tested this on the topic Edit, Delete, SideWiki Comments, Blogs, Twitter and had the same results.

From internal links to internal pages the comments do not always show.
Direct input to your address bar in your browser seems to always display correctly.
Links from blogs and twitter also seem to work first time.

Is it the Google API that isn't clearing?
Only Sir Google can answer that question.
For now just keep testing to find the limits and the features you can work with.

Track SideWiki Comments by UserAgent?

Helpful information about "http://www.xtremecomputer.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=234".


I'm sure by now you have read articles and posts about people using the [b]UserAgent GTB6 [/b] to track where "Might Be" a SideWiki comment.

Hundreds have tested this and some are still convienced this is the best method.

Actually you are[b] wrong[/b] if you think you are going to be able to track SideWiki comments via the [b]GTB6 in the UserAgent[/b].

At best you can create a session log that emails you a bunch of pages you need to manually check.

But that's not the real pit falls to using a UserAgent tracking system.
The Biggest issue you should think about is WHO is going to be posting Spam and Who is going to be posting comments.

If I was a spammer I'd do the following:
[b]>Start > Run > RegEdit
Search for GTB6
Delete the Entry
(It will be in this section HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent)[/b]

You'll see the GTB6 in the registry.

Once you delete the registry entry sites that monitor by UserAgent will no longer see you as a Google SideWiki Toolbar user.

But you will have all the features of the Toolbar just not the tracking part in your browsers useragent.

Try it out, feel free to post your SideWiki Test Comments here.

Search Engine Bots to track your SideWiki by Google Comments

It seems to all be falling in place now that the Shock of "Something New" is over.

For those that are really not finding SideWiki (even if the Wiki should have been Comments) take a look at what you can do with it all before you start looking to block it all or make the pages not visible with code Hash or some other method.

It's new, so give it a try. I know I resisted but found ways of making it work for me.
