I'm working on my first WCF service.* I think I've got the idea as to how to host it; in this case I will host it in IIS on a Windows 2003 Server, using wsHttpBinding for the binding.* (I haven't written a host before, so I might ask about that, but that will be in another post, if I cannot figure it out.)* However, deploying a WCF host using HTTP would be simply a case of copying the files to IIS on the Windows 2003 Server and making the .svc file the default startup page.* (At least that is how I imagine it will work.) My question here is how to get the service deployed to the Windows 2003 Server?* Does that also go into IIS?* Or do I compile it and put it somewhere under C:\Program Files on the server? More...

Flaw turns Gmail into spamming machine A "serious security flaw" in Gmail turns Google's e-mail service into a spamming machine, according to a recent security report. INSERT, the Information Security Research Team, has created a proofof concept that exploits the "trust hierarchy" that exists between mailservice providers. By exploiting a flaw in the way Google forwardsmessages, a spammer can send thousands of bulk e-mails through Google'sSMTP service, bypassing Google's 500-address bulk e-mail limit andidentity fraud protections. The report notesthat with the rising volume of spam, e-mail providers have turned towhitelists and blacklists to help root out IP addresses of knownspammers. Because Gmail falls into the trusted-whitelist category,messages are allowed "carte blanche" to bypass spam filtering. INSERT's report notes that no extraordinary Internet expertise is necessary to exploit the flaw: In this regard, this document presents a vulnerability report and aproof-of-concept attack that demonstrate how anyone with no specialInternet access privileges other than being able to connect to SMTP(TCP port 25) and HTTP (TCP port 80) servers is able to exploit asingle Gmail account in order to be granted nearly unrestricted accessto Google's massive whitelisted SMTP relay infrastructure. Google has offered no official comment on the report. This isn't the first Google tool to appeal to spammers. In April, my colleague Elinor Mills reported that spammers were now using Google Calendar. Source : CNET As this report says "......the flaw we have reported remains unpatched and exploitable. We have ran a new experiment where we were able touse our attack to send 2,000 messages using one Gmail account. We would like to clarify to the security community that we havecontacted Google about the issue more than a week ago and no responsewas provideddespite our clear intent of cooperation regarding this matter. ......." So its not yet attended to. So is it not serious or the flaw is not true? Does anybody know more about it ? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Duno if anyone else have found this but why is MSDN so hard to sign up to? The process is just silly and confusing. I recently bought an MSDN premium subscription. Upon buying it I received several emails one of which was to go to a web site and click a button that I agreed to the terms and conditions. To do this you need a windows live ID. Another was something about adding users and giving permissions. I then did this. It then sends an email*to the user*to click on and approve. You then need to go back to the site to approve this add. But if you try and add the user you are logged in as they dont appear in the user list. Okay create another windows live account it now appears in the list. I added permissions etc.* At the end of all this I still cant download anything from the online bit as its all greyed out. In total I think I have about 10 emails from MSDN. and now apparently I need to call MS support. Raaaaa! I spoke to a collegue and he had the same issue and said it took 3 weeks for them to sort out his account. Sort it out Microsoft. More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds
