Mozilla Releases Hacker Tools

blogs.pcworld.com — Mozilla is beginning to give away programs used by both the good guys and the bad guys to discover critical program vulnerabilities. The programs, called fuzzers, have so far been for internal use only. Fuzzers poke at programs in search...

  • winmywii, on 10/10/2007, -4/+42My block list is getting pretty big.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -9/+35Let's lighten this thread up a bit: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/vernterv/Nom_bridge.jpg
  • brklynmark, on 10/10/2007, -10/+34His dad?
    And use the reply function, you ignorant jerk-off.
  • ThrobbingBrain, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9As you wish...
  • HyperionZero, on 10/10/2007, -9/+14That's awesome of Mozilla to do. These are valuable tools in program debugging that can discover vulnerabilities that would normally slip past the amateur programmer.
  • utsav007, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I am not sure that this is the case. The more fuzzers are in the open, the easier it is for programmers to use them to check their own software for potential problems. Sure, back hats could use them too, but I would not be surprised if they are not already ... Go open source!
  • TheFBI, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Apparently a mass burying again.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2OM NOM NOM NOM
  • lardmaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0yah, i agree that the relevance of comments on digg isnt related to fuzzers at all also!

    whadaya know!
  • yamyogurt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1you should win an award!
  • bioskope, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Hey OB dincha hear. The Anti MS Bandwagon left your station a long time back. Since when did you start surmising that MS contains amateur programmers? I mean sure attack them for their business policies. But tosuggest something like this is purely laughabale. I dare you to group together a band of 500 programmers from the OSS community to team up and make an OS that becomes more widely accepted than Windows.

    So according to your assumption do all the great programmers of the world work only in the OSS community?
  • Atomic1fire, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1even though that is kind of funny
    dont you think its a bit to early to be making jokes about the incident
  • shredswithpiks, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1digg him down
  • xErath, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Hacker tool ? Now any newbie that embeds the fuzzer in his webpage is a hacker now ?

    It's a damn fuzzer, a TEST tool.
  • prgmctan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1digg him up
  • zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Schizophrenic, are we?
  • nullmind, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Well, I would like to point out this line FTA:

    Shaver says fuzzers ....

    Is this a budget porn?
  • deadlikeoscar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Hackers (although I think you mean crackers) don't need stuff like this. They figure stuff out on their own and do things their own way. Script Kiddies may need this though so they can keep convincing the world of how 1337 they are.
  • lardmaster, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1you will never digg me down, never!! NEVER, YOU HEAR ME!!! I WILL NOT FALL!!!!

    oh crap... there i go... never mind...
  • Bjwebb, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Hmm true, but can that be avoided.
    BTW ours aren't either :D
  • AxiomShell, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Somebody has a phobia.
  • UlicBelouve, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2RSS it like I do. You'll see everything submitted right away. Or, you can RSS the ones that just make it to top in 24 hours. I don't know how I got the RSS's to make the distinction, but it works wonders.
  • DarkDx, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3Thanks
  • leksdraven, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Why are people burying this person? We were all thinking it.
  • rob3, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2you are sooo cool!
  • Bjwebb, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1You are both n00bs
  • OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2E.g. Microsoft.
  • leksdraven, on 10/10/2007, -10/+5I know that I am just adding to the fire here, but... maybe what's wrong with Digg is that half of all comments are not even related to their story. Just a thought.
  • drewjoh, on 10/10/2007, -9/+4Well thanks for being really mature about how immature a post was.
  • Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3Another bury party? Count me in.

  • scrambledheads, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0thats because other dugg him down at the same time you dugg him up...
  • whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2Damn you! I buried the comment and I'm still heterosexual.
  • eTronicGaming, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1So many negative diggs in these comments...
  • ThrobbingBrain, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3I swear, I hit the green thumb, but digg gave you a -1. sorry. 0_o
  • OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1I need to do penetration testing.
  • dtd00d, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3Should have become an atheist.
  • disrupter, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2wtf are you smoking
  • fugazi, on 10/10/2007, -11/+4That doesn't rhyme...
  • KnightMareInc, on 10/10/2007, -13/+6 much better than secuirty throught obscurity
  • rob3, on 10/10/2007, -13/+6Bury!!!!! :D
  • alex626av, on 10/10/2007, -7/+0QUICK everyone lets digg down everyone
  • Dangerman, on 10/10/2007, -13/+6Digg is dead. Long live Digg.
  • Workage, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2"These comments, these comments right here are why digg is dying."

    digg is dying because it takes 100 stories to 150 just to hit front page, or the licuky ones that get dugg up really fast which can break before 100. I've been here for a year or more, I really think they have to set the bar lower, or no one gets to see these 'BREAKING' stories unless its been dugg 100+ times and after 20 hours!
  • yodug007, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2lol i've never seem so many buried comments. good thing we're disregarding the perspectives of others...

    anyway, this is def a great move on mozilla's part. it's not necessarily going to make a significant impact simply because one can get a good, free, fuzzer just about anywhere but the thought process is on track.
  • tech9lab, on 10/10/2007, -13/+5mozilla rocks
  • DarkDx, on 10/10/2007, -13/+5For those who don't know, the opera dev team released a build with the hackers tools included after mozilla released them you can download the build here: my.opera.com[slash]desktopteam

    (I'm probably being dugg down anyway)
  • polyGone, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2I like air.
