[ilugd] The Google Cookie Conspiracy
Hi All I recently had my paper accepted for publication in IAENG conference WCECS 2008 @ San Francisco regarding Google Cookies. The paper title was Security Mutation Algorithm For Google Print and Google Search Security Deficiency. I had discovered the fact that Google in one way or the other is exploiting the in awareness of the layman for may be refining its searches and results. In 2006 i had discovered that Google cookie which in the very first interaction lands into your system , and under all normal circumstances it would land into your system till Jan 17,2038. Since then i was haunted with the fear that Google Would be monitoring my searches. On further study i realized that Google through its EULA has mentioned that it has rights to use each and every search by us through Google. I claimed against that and in return Google answered me that they are maintaining a long lived cookie just to maintain the hard limit for Google Print (for reading Books.). I then worked out an algorithm to mute the security of Google Print and came up with some tabulated data. Through the research work by Debashish Mohanty I thus proved that even the search syntaxes prove to be malicious user's best friend. Now after all the hue and cry in the world Google finally changed the cookie policy to 2 years expiry. Wired.com even covered the news. I would like the house to shed light on Google Cookie Conspiracy. -- V.P , AGE Certified Ethical Hacker, Dept. Of Computer Engineering, Sikkim Manipal Institute Of Tech.

Would be interesting to know upto what extent you have made changes in current package ? the Big changes are : - Interfacing with a local irc bot we run here on our internal network ( that also in turn has a jabber interface for those who want to use that and a yammer interface for those who only use that ) - We added the possibility of adding SubTasks within a major Task List When you say its 'basic' - what are the major issues that you are missing out on ? A functional project management system that is easy to use and focus's on the main areas that need attention is most likely to get used. Its the sort of thing that the 37signals[1] guys have been trumpeting about for a while. - KB [1]: imho a lot of the stuff that 37signals guys talk about makes much sense, however the products they deliver around their ideas arent really in the same league.
