A simple template for publishing mobile comics quickly

Using a combination of Dreamweaver's generated mobile page and PhotoSwipe.com sample file, I have created a template file that a mobile comic artist can load his artwork and publish on mobile platform easily.

1) Download the template file here.

2) Replace the sample image files with your comic page image files.

a) Unzip the template file.

b) Delete the sample image file. Replace with your image files.

c) Zip back the file.

3) Log into build.phonegap.com (you have to sign in first).

In the past, I have already created an app called Hello World.

This time, I just want to replace it with the mobile comic project. 

4) Click the button "update code".

Select the Zip file in Step 2.

Click Upload.

5) Build.Phonegap.com may take some time to process the file.

6) Eventually, the process ended up with errors for iOS and BlackBerry. This is because these platforms require license. As for now, pay attention to the Android's apk.

7) Click the apk button to download.

8) Copy the file to your android and install. It's done.

Serious security threat for #ColdFusion servers [now covered by a hotfix]

copied from: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2013/1/2/serious_security_threat

A Quick Overview

There's quite a bit that you should (and will want to) understand about the hack, which you can learn more in a thread on the Adobe CF Admin forum, where a poster first pointed it out on Friday, and I found that I too had been hit.

See the specific thread for more details, including a fairly substantial reply I offered (which he's marked as "the answer"), where I explain more I'd found about it, including how how it got there, how to confirm how it got there for you, how to rectify things, how one might already be protected against it, etc.

The upshot is that a file is put on your server which gives a hacker pretty much unfettered access to a lot of things including reading/downloading/uploading/renaming and creating files, accessing datasource information, and more. The file to look for is called h.cfm and is placed in the CFIDE directory (at least in the current rendition of the hack, which may very likely change when the hacker learns that it's being publicized.) See the forum thread for more on what specifically to look for.

Fortunately for some, the degree to which the hacker would have access to things may be limited by how careful you've been in other protections, such as explained in the various lockdown guides for CF (here for CF10, CF9, and CF8).

I also explain how, despite my own efforts to protect the AdminAPI folder through which the exploit happened, I still fell victim. Perhaps it could happen to others. And it will certainly likely happen to those who have not implemented any protection against that folder (whether blocking access to it by IP address, requiring additional authentication, or otherwise). More in the forum thread.
