Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

2012-05-08 Thread Nischay Nahata
Hi,

I  finally got hold of the source that caused this problem. There is an
extension called I Want This in chrome which does this evil work.
As per my investigation, this extension is not installed by the user. Maybe
we should notify Google that extensions are been installed without
permissions.

I have attached the JS file that causes this ad injection and also the HTML
code that is been injected. Also note that this extension not only shows
ads from Inkfruit or Jabong but RedBus.in also.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

2012-05-08 Thread Yuvi Panda
Thanks Nischyan for locating the js file!

I had a preliminary look, and it is not a 'general ad injector' - it
injects ads only into Mediawiki rendered pages (looks for #mw-panel
div), so I suppose this could be called a malware targeted at
Wikipedia.

I'm unsure of how we can proceed - perhaps contact amazon and see if
we can take down the cloudfront setup used to serve the ads? But I
think that's us entering into a cat and mouse game with malware
authors...

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] GSoC announcement of students for 2012

2012-05-08 Thread Sumana Harihareswara
Ashwin, per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects
, some of our past GSoC students have continued to help the Wikimedia
technical community, and some have been less permanent.  Students who
know that their work is desired by the community and who experience the
joy of personal engagement are more likely to stick around.  So please
help me by inviting these students to local meetups and keeping an eye
on their projects.  This applies to this year's students as well as
previous students Ankit Garg, Akshay Agarwal, Devayon Das (who spoke at
the conference in Mumbai last year), etc.  Yuvi is a great success story
here. :)

The blog post
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/23/wmf-selects-9-students-for-gsoc/
gives you some pages where the students welcome comment. Some more links:

 Congratulations.  You are the most promising students among the 63 who

 Students whom we did not accept: please don't despair.  As you can see,
 you had a lot of very strong competition, and we only had nine slots.
 We encourage you to keep learning about open source, use our IRC

 volunteers!  Most of us got into this hobby without GSoC, and you can
 too. :-)

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia sites HTTPS by default (was Ads Injected into Wikipedia?)

 This will not be a permanent solution, I'm afraid.

Encrypting your browser traffic does quite durably protect you against
the kind of injection attacks we're discussing (the injection of
advertisements).  I personally use the HTTPS Everywhere plugin
(available for Chrome and Firefox) to ensure that I always browse
Wikimedia and many other sites under SSL protection (that is, via HTTPS).

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

I'm not suggesting that we set out to persuade millions of people to
switch to open source browsers and install this extension, but if you're
already using Firefox or Chrome, I recommend HTTPS Everywhere for your
own peace of mind.

The most recent discussion, among Wikimedia developers, of whether to
switch to HTTPS-by-default for all connections:

http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-April/thread.html#59551

In it, Ryan Lane from Wikimedia operations says that there are practical
