Cached on my drive!<br>> From a nerd! It's a pain!<br>> It's Supercookies!<br>> <br>> Supercookies are the next evolution in really annoying<br>> privacy issues. They act like regular cookies, writing bits<br>> of tracking information to your browser, but you'll never<br>> know
they were there. They are extremely difficult to delete<br>> by normal means. They defy clearing your cache. They defy<br>> erasing your cookies from your browser preferences. They<br>> don't even show up in your cookie list. In fact, they are<br>> COMPLETELY ACCESSIBLE between browsers - a Supercookie<br>> written to Firefox can be read from Internet Explorer or<br>> Safari on the SAME MACHINE. It doesn't matter what platform<br>> you're running... Supercookies can thrive in OS/X, Windows,<br>> or Linux. And, they live on your hard drive for, well,<br>> just about forever.<br>> <br>> Supercookies could have been the 11th plague of Exodus, if<br>> the Israelites stuck around Egypt for one more day.<br>> <br>> <br>> Now, at this point, you should have a little angel version<br>> of yourself sitting on one shoulder, and a little devil<br>> version of yourself on the other shoulder. The angel
version<br>> of you should be saying, "That's horrible! How could anyone<br>> come up with something so evil?"<br>> <br>> The little devil version of you should be asking, "Ooooh.<br>> How can *I* write supercookies into my web apps?"<br>> <br>> This lecture will appeal to that little devil. You will<br>> learn what you need to get started writing Supercookies,<br>> embedding Supercookie code into your HTML, how Supercookies<br>> are stored, and best of all, how to get rid of other<br>> people's Supercookies from your machine!<br>> <br>> Solomon Chang is a Senior System and Database Administrator<br>> working for Sosbuzz, Inc.. He hates Supercookies, but has<br>> gotten very good at writing them. In fact, he has gotten<br>> very good at doing things he hates, just like a congressman<br>> does, but will do anything for the right amount of money,<br>> just like a congressman does.<br>>
<br>> LAMPSIG meets on the third Saturday of every month, at<br>> 1:00PM at the Thom Bradley Center. The TBC is located at:<br>> 5213 Pico Blvd.<br>> Los Angeles, CA. 90019<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Lamp-announce mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Lamp-announce@maillist.lampsig.org" href="mailto:Lamp-announce@maillist.lampsig.org">Lamp-announce@maillist.lampsig.org</a><br>> <a href="http://maillist.lampsig.org/mailman/listinfo/lamp-announce_maillist.lampsig.org" target="_blank">http://maillist.lampsig.org/mailman/listinfo/lamp-announce_maillist.lampsig.org</a><br>><br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
