Comment Try Firefox 52 without installing (Score 1) 91

Hi all! I just added Firefox 52 to Browserling. You can try this latest Firefox version without installing right from your browser via this link:

www.browserling.com/firefox/52/slashdot.org

We run the browsers in virtual machines and stream them to your browser. If the demand is too high then you'll have to wait in a queue for a while to try it. I'm adding more virtual machines right now to let more people try it without waiting.

What I mean is that I found only 3 or 4 references to this problem on the whole Internet. If that doesn't mean *almost completely undocumented* then I don't know what does.

That's what I mean by "almost." This is just a warning. It was this warning that got me excited to research more on this topic.

pkrumins writes: The `ldd` utility is more vulnerable than you think. It’s frequently used by programmers and system administrators to determine the dynamic library dependencies of executables. Sounds pretty innocent, right? Wrong! It turns out that running `ldd` on an executable can result in executing arbitrary code. This article details how such executable can be constructed and comes up with a social engineering scenario that may lead to system compromise. I researched this subject thoroughly and found that it’s almost completely undocumented.

I have been collecting links to video lectures in my blog for a while now, not just MIT but tens of other universities as well. Check it out: Free Science Online Blog
