• Cloaked Archive Wiki

  16 mai 2011, par Multimedia Mike — General

  Google’s Chrome browser has made me phenomenally lazy. I don’t even attempt to type proper, complete URLs into the address bar anymore. I just type something vaguely related to the address and let the search engine take over. I saw something weird when I used this method to visit Archive Team’s site :

  
  
  

  There’s greater detail when you elect to view more results from the site :

  
  
  

  As the administrator of a MediaWiki installation like the one that archiveteam.org runs on, I was a little worried that they might have a spam problem. However, clicking through to any of those out-of-place pages does not indicate anything related to pharmaceuticals. Viewing source also reveals nothing amiss.

  I quickly deduced that this is a textbook example of website cloaking. This is when a website reports different content to a search engine than it reports to normal web browsers (humans, presumably). General pseudocode :

  PLAIN TEXT

  C :

  1. if (web_request.user_agent_string == CRAWLER_USER_AGENT)
  2.  return cloaked_data ;
  3. else
  4.  return real_data ;

  You can verify this for yourself using the wget command line utility :

  <br />
$ wget --quiet --user-agent="<strong>Mozilla/5.0</strong>" \<br />
 http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Geocities -O - | grep \&lt;title\&gt;<br />
&lt;title&gt;GeoCities - Archiveteam&lt;/title&gt;

  $ wget —quiet —user-agent="Googlebot/2.1"
  http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Geocities -O - | grep \<title\>
  <title>Cheap xanax | Online Drug Store, Big Discounts</title>
  

  I guess the little web prank worked because the phaux-pharma stuff got indexed. It makes we wonder if there’s a MediaWiki plugin that does this automatically.

  For extra fun, here’s a site called the CloakingDetector which purports to be able to detect whether a page employs cloaking. This is just one humble observer’s opinion, but I don’t think the site works too well :
  
  

  
  
  

• Generate video with ffmpeg to play using JavaFX

  25 mai 2015, par taskman

  People always say to post a new question so I am posting a new question that relates to Generate video with ffmpeg for JavaFX MediaPlayer

  The images I use can be downloaded from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/mt8yblhfif113sy/temp.zip?dl=0. It is a 2.2GB zip file with 18k images, still uploading, might take some time. The images are slices of a 3D object. I need to display images every 10ms to 20ms. I tried it with Java, but just couldn’t get faster than 30ms+ so now I am trying to generate a video that will display images as fast as I want without worrying about memory or CPU power.

  People will be using my software to slice the objects and then generate the videos to be played later one. The player might run on a cheap laptop or might run on a Raspberry Pi. I need to make sure the slicer will work on any OS and that people don’t need to install too much extra stuff to make it work. It would be best if I can just include everything that is needed in the download of the app.

  I also posted here
  https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2474&sid=4f7a752f909202fbec19afc9edaf418c

  I am using Windows 7 and I have VLC installed. The ffmpeg version is

  ffmpeg version N-72276-gf99fed7 Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers
  
    built with gcc 4.9.2 (GCC)

  I also tried the command lines posted on the linked question

  This line produced the video and JavaFX didn’t have any errors

  ffmpeg -f image2 -r 50 -i "Mandibular hollow 1 micron.gizmofill%d.gizmoslice.jpg" -s 1638x1004 -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 1 -f mp4 Timelapse.mp4

  

  This line also produced the video, but JavaFX had an error : "Caused by : MediaException : MEDIA_UNSUPPORTED : Unrecognized file signature !"

  ffmpeg -f image2 -r 50 -i "Mandibular hollow 1 micron.gizmofill%d.gizmoslice.jpg" -s 1920x1080 -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 1 Timelapse.avi

  

  I also tried this two pass encoding I believe. It produced the video, but didn’t play

  ffmpeg -r 50 -i "Mandibular hollow 1 micron.gizmofill%d.gizmoslice.jpg" -s 1638x1004 -r 50 -b:v 1550k -bt 1792k -vcodec libx264 -pass 1 -an combined50.flv && ffmpeg -y -r 50 -i "Mandibular hollow 1 micron.gizmofill%d.gizmoslice.jpg" -s 1638x1004 -r 50 -b:v 1550k -bt 1792k -vcodec libx264 -pass 2 -vpre hq -acodec libfaac -ab 128k combined50.flv

  This is my JavaFX code. As you can see I tried the Oracle video and that worked fine.

  public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {
  
  
  
      @FXML
  
      private Label label;
  
  
  
      @FXML
  
      private MediaView mediaView;
  
  
  
      @FXML
  
      private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
  
          System.out.println("You clicked me!");
  
  
  
  //        final File f = new File("http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.flv");
  
          final File f = new File("C:/Users/kobus/Dropbox/JavaProjects/Gizmetor/temp/Timelapse.avi");
  
  
  
  //        "C:/Users/kobus/Dropbox/JavaProjects/Gizmetor/temp/combined50.avi.flv"
  
  //        http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.flv
  
  
  
          Media media = new Media(f.toURI().toString());
  
  //        Media media = new Media("http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.flv");
  
          MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
  
          mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(true);
  
  
  
          mediaPlayer.play();
  
          mediaView.setMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer);
  
          label.setText("Hello World!");
  
          System.out.println(mediaPlayer.isAutoPlay());
  
  
  
  //        mediaView
  
      }

• Google Analytics Now Illegal in Austria ; Other EU Member States Expected to Follow

  18 janvier 2022, par Erin — Privacy

  Breaking news : The Austrian Data Protection Authority (“Datenschutzbehörde” or “DSB” or “DPA”) has ruled that Austrian website providers using Google Analytics are in violation of the GDPR. 

  This ruling stems from a decision made in 2020 by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that stated that cloud services hosted in the US are incapable of complying with the GDPR and EU privacy laws. The decision was made because of the US surveillance laws requiring US providers (like Google or Facebook) to provide personal data to US authorities. 

  The 2020 ruling, known as “Schrems II”, marked the ending of the Privacy Shield, a framework that allowed for EU data to be transferred to US companies that became certified. 

  The tech industry was sent into a frenzy following this decision, but many US and EU companies decided to ignore the case. The choice to ignore is what landed one Austrian business in the DPA’s line of fire, damaging the brand’s reputation and possibly resulting in a hefty fine of up to €20 million or 4% of the organisation’s global turnover. 

  About the Austrian DPA’s Model Case 

  In this specific case, noyb (the European Center for Digital Rights) found that IP addresses (which are classified as personal data by the GDPR) and other identifiers were sent to the US in cookie data as a result of the organisation using Google Analytics. 

  This model case led to the DPA’s decision to rule that Austrian website providers using Google Analytics are in violation of GDPR. It is believed that other EU Member States will soon follow in this decision as well.

  "We expect similar decisions to now drop gradually in most EU member states. We have filed 101 complaints in almost all Member States and the authorities coordinated the response. A similar decision was also issued by the European Data Protection Supervisor last week."

  What does this mean if you are using Google Analytics ?

  If there is one thing to learn from this case, it is that ignoring these court rulings and continuing to use Google Analytics is not a viable option. 

  If you are operating a website in Austria, or your website services Austrian citizens, you should remove Google Analytics from your website immediately. 

  For businesses in other EU Member States, it is also highly recommended that you take action before noyb and local data protection authorities start targeting more businesses. 

  "Instead of actually adapting services to be GDPR compliant, US companies have tried to simply add some text to their privacy policies and ignore the Court of Justice. Many EU companies have followed the lead instead of switching to legal options."

  Removing Google Analytics from your site doesn’t mean that you need to give up website analytics altogether though. There are a variety of Google Analytics alternatives available today. Matomo in particular is a powerful open-source web analytics platform that gives you 100% data ownership and GDPR compliance.

  Final thoughts

  For EU businesses operating websites, now is the time to act. While Google pushes out false narratives to try and convince users that it is safe to continue using Google Analytics, it’s clear from these court rulings that the data protection authorities across the EU disagree with Google’s narrative.

  The fines, reputational damage and stresses mounting from using Google Analytics are imminent. Find an alternative to Google Analytics as this problem is not going away.
