Two days ago I started looking for an easy way to search my trillian logs. I came across a google desktop plugin that allows you to search the logs.
Since I didn’t have Google Desktop installed, I figured I’d give it a shot. It all seemed a little too Orwellian for me. Then after reading Rsnakes last two posts about a single xss hole in Google allowing an intrusion vector into your PC, it felt time to turn the thing off.
Now all we need to do is find one XSS hole in allllll of Google where Google’s Desktop reads the header and overwrites it with it’s nonce. The XSS hole reads the nonce, pops an iframe with the data needed for the anti-DNS pinning, spoofs the header and voila, read/write access to Google Desktop.
He even wrote a page that will detect if you are running Google Desktop.
So I’m still looking for the best way to search my trillian logs . . . preferably easier then greap. Any suggestions?
