Interview with the 2 guys that introduced “Monkeyfist”, a tool that automates the process of doing cross-site request forgeries (via).
The guys who talked last year about hacking MySpace are back. They’ve got a new tool that automates the hacking of user-generate content across a bunch of sites. Listen to these security researchers talk about the implications of unsafe Web 2.0 security.

At 3’50’’:
“A high quality landing page should have relevant, original content, be easily navigable with quick load times and minimum pop-ups and pop-unders and be transparent about the nature of your business, how it interacts with the visitor’s computer, and how you intend to use the visitor’s personal information.”
Interesting. Wondering just how they quantify that transparency. Is it an on-off switch i.e. do they just check the availability of a privacy/terms of use page?

Possibilities are mindboggling. This (type of) interface can become as widespread as Google Maps.
Excerpt from Twitter Conversation (in Dutch, reverse chronological order):
davied: @Ramon1974 @pascalvanhecke Leuk idee, Open Overheid en Augmented Reality. Eens wat ideeen verzamelen en in blog zetten?
Ramon1974: @pascalvanhecke Dat weet @ClaireBoo vast wel. Succes #layar hangt af van makkelijk te koppelen gegevens zoals bij Google Maps denk ik
Rhymo: @pascalvanhecke we zijn aan het kijken naar kml, georss, etc
pascalvanhecke: @Ramon1974 idd – kan publicatieplatform worden. Vraag me af een een "gewone" kml file (zoals op Google maps), al kan dienen als #Layar
ClaireBoo: @Ramon1974 @pascalvanhecke elke set coordinaat-gegevens kan worden ontsloten op Layar. Dus overheidsinfo zeker interessant! Laat maar weten.
bertheymans: @pascalvanhecke I’m really wondering what’s needed for this kind of thing to catch mainstream http://layar.eu
Ramon1974: @pascalvanhecke Layar nodigt uit om ook #openoverheid data toe te voegen. We moeten eens iets verzinnen voor www.datzouhandigzijn.nl
pascalvanhecke: Impressed by http://layar.eu generic "augmented reality browser" Already available: immo data (Funda), ATMs, jobs, places to go out…
