Hacked RSS 2.0 for Coppermine 1.3.x plugin

Coppermine Logo

I’ve got over my boredom by coding a simple RSS 2.0 plugin for Coppermine 1.3.x.

This plugin simply publish your latest photo(s) via RSS 2.0 feed through the url http://yourgallery.com/rss20.php. It is easy to install and only contains one file! Just upload the rss20.php to the root directory of your Coppermine installation, and off it goes!

I’ve decided to release the plugin to public under the GNU General Public License 2.0. Please mail me any suggestions or feedback!

Microsoft teaches parent to be l33t!

I found this article while surfing Microsoft website about child safety when using the internet. This particular article is trying to educate parents with the slang involved in the internet.

words like l33t, h4x0r, j00,pr0n are explained in the articles as well as guidelines to understand such words when parents came accross them. This articles also may serve as a reference to people who wants to learn l33t5p33k.

Simple Affiliate software script

The past few days i’ve been searching for a simple and free affiliate script to integrate into my personal project.

The reason why i chose free (as in free beer) is because I dont have the budget to spend on expensive affiliate tracking software such as iDevAffiliate, ClixGalore and TradeDoubler.

The quest brought me to PostAffiliate, which is released as GNU/GPL and it was based on PHP-Affiliate v1.2. The PostAffiliate website claim that they fixed vulnerability in PHP-Affiliate, but upon using the software, i felt that PostAffiliate 1.3 has serious flaw in which the user password is stored as a plain-text in the database!

So i’ve taken my time to touch up PostAffiliate 1.3, mainly to fix the plaintext password storing method in PostAffiliate. The password is now hashed in SHA-1 before stored in the database. I’ve also fix some potential security vulnerability point and updated the login page (I plan to clean the code as it’s too messy).

Here’s my half-assed (actually 1 hour) modifications on PostAffiliate : PostAffiliate fix

Stay tune as i’m planning to rewrite most of the postaffiliate part and release the modification under GNU/GPL.
