- Adobe CS3 Beta clean up script
Filed under: Software, Tips and tricks, Odds and ends
Now that folks are actually starting to get the shipping versions of Adobe CS3 applications, word comes that it's not good enough just to install the new applications over any beta versions you had previously been running. According to John Nack from Adobe, "It's important to run this script (and not just throw the app folder into the trash!), and/or to use the application uninstaller, before installing the shipping version of CS3 apps." The script download page indicates that you must first back up, uninstall the beta with the built-in uninstaller, run the clean script, and finally you can install the new version. I have to say, thumbs down to Adobe for this horribly unMac-like upgrading experience.
The CS3Clean script is a free download from Adobe.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/04/22/adobe-cs3-beta-clean-up-script/#comments - Ubuntu, Yellow Dog Linux for PPC updated
Filed under: OS, Software, Open Source
Dust off those old iBooks and Powerbooks and give them new life with Linux. Earlier this week, Ubuntu released version 7.04 of their desktop and server distribution, called "Fiesty Fawn." While version 6 was the last officially supported version of Ubuntu for PPC, there is community-supported PPC version of Fiesty Fawn that you can download here. Ubuntu is a free (as in speech and beer) download.
Also, Yellow Dog Linux version 5.0.1 for PPC was made available in the Terra Soft store earlier this month, and the download mirrors will be availabe in a few weeks. For now, you can purchase YDL from Terra Soft in one of two bundles, priced at $99.95 and $49.95 respectively.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/04/22/ubuntu-yellow-dog-linux-for-ppc/#comments - One Mac hack bounty claimed, one to go
Filed under: Security
No sooner said... the first half of the CanSecWest MacBook Pro hack challenge has been won, with an exploit that uses a malicious webpage to gain a user-level shell via Safari. The second challenge, requiring root access on the target machine, has yet to be won (and requires the use of a different exploit). As far as we know right now, this is a zero-day exploit without a known patch. (Grrr.)
It's worth mentioning the elephant in the room for this contest: where was the $10,000 bounty for a similar takeover of a Windows XP or Vista stock patched configuration? It wouldn't have taken a day, that much is certain.
More news as it comes... thanks to our vigilant commenters for the link.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/04/20/one-mac-hack-bounty-claimed-one-to-go/#comments - $10,000 Mac hack bounty not yet claimed
Filed under: Security
Update: One of the two targets has been compromised.
How do you spice up a security conference in lovely Vancouver, BC with a sense of risk, reward and fun? If you're the organizers of CanSecWest, you offer a prize to anyone who can work an exploit on two MacBook Pro machines; said prize, originally just the laptops themselves, is now a cool $10,000 thanks to sponsor & security appliance vendor TippingPoint. Both machines are freshly patched with Thursday's security updates.
As of earlier today, ZDnet blogger Ryan Naraine reports that nobody has claimed the bounty, and conference organizers have moved to the scheduled phase II plan; challengers, who originally had to attack the machine remotely over the network, now may send URLs to the judges and have them opened in Safari. Happy hunting!
