2009-05-15 Thread Visakh

Hi,
  Let me clarify a few points:

1) Using ASP may not be against our IT policy- its just a scripting
language. But it is an indicator that the server is an IIS running on
a windoze server. Isn't that against our IT policy of favouring FOSS?

2) The site has 2 parts:

  i) The home part that is hosted in Canada with IP addr:
216.55.97.83. Its HTTP header names its server as: "Apache/1.3.41
(Unix) PHP/4.4.4 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8g"

  ii) A part that deals with student info, registration etc (http://
kucc.keralauniversity.edu). This is our controversial subject. It is
hosted in India (NIB) with IP addr: 210.212.239.17. Its HTTP header
names its server as: "Microsoft-IIS/6.0"

  Its not possible to entirely believe these information, since it is
possible to spoof server info. It can be concluded only on the basis
of other clues. But atleast in this case, the info seems reliable.

Regards,
Gokul Das

Hi Aneesh,
  In that case I guess we can create on long letter together. First we
will create a short official part addressed to whosoever it concerns-
it should be short and contain only requests and short description of
problems. To that, we will attach a technical part detailing whatever
we know about the problems.
  Right now, I am down with a fever and there is the impending exams.
I will prepare the first draft as soon
as I sort out these issues.

Well, if we place a complaint we will have to be very specific- like a
bug report. Exact nature and ways to recreate it will have to be
specified. For example, if there is a firefox/W3C incompatibility, we
will have to show atleast one instance, or define exact problem. The
problem you mentioned could be an abnormal case. However, if it can be
recreated multiple times in multiple platforms (like different
systems, OSs or browser - even just 2 cases would suffice), it would
qualify as an ideal example.

> Also my friend tried to register, He got all SQL queries and all..

Exactly the kind of flaw that I am talking about. Whenever a server
returns an error message, either it should be a standard message (like
404 file not found) or a Web app exception handled message. Anything
else will contain sensitive information about internal system- like
Web server configuration, Database information, SQL code etc. Did I
mention that this server sent me back a portion of the web app's ASP
code when tested? Just more information for a cracker to further his
attempt. Anyway, that info about SQL is useful.

> To Vishak, You are pretty good hacker. (Didn't meant hacker).

I presume it was a compliment. Thanx! :D But I don't qualify as hacker
by either Free software community definition or security community
definition (cracker). My field is actually electronics & communication
engg. I know more about protocols, encryption and security than web
programming and designing. In other words, somebody else with

> I am not blaming ASP. I wished that it had been done using php that's all.

Technically, Java EE would satisfy these needs (security, scalability,
responsiveness) better than either ASP or PHP. It has FOSS
implementations too. But I know this is not point you make. This is
not the first time public agencies are taking a contradictory stance
on FOSS. Remember the e-VAT and PPT in +2 issues? We already have

No arguments there. They simply didn't do their homework. To get
password back, we have to first face their apathy. Even then, they

Thank you for responses.

No proper software testing. That is the problem, As I think.

On student side, no problem in using firefox.

On administrator side, ie, teacher's verification, there appears no photos

Also my friend tried to register, He got all SQL queries and all..

To Vishak,

You are pretty good hacker. (Didn't meant hacker).


I am not blaming ASP. I wished that it had been done using php that's

Also there is no password recovery form... It is a real problem as I

That is good enough. You can just recount the experience and point out
that this happened because the site is not designed to conform to
standards. This prevents many people from making use of the facility,
and also violates the policy of the government regarding Free Software.
Once we have a draft, we can work on it.

Yes. I too have doubts whether the University will even respond, leave
alone making corrections. But, as citizens, it is our duty to point out
errors and it is their duty to correct them if they see that what we say
is true. If they don't do it, then they fail in their duty. It is better
that they fail, rather than we ;-)

Sir,
  I think its worth a try. But I doubt we will be the first one to
complain. And given the university's preoccupation with unimportant
matters, I doubt we will get much of a reply. Still, the university
has to be held responsible for the misery they cause. This is not just

Thanks for that write-up. The point in complaining is to ensure that no
one will say that we did not inform the proper authorities. If they
still do not act, they are giving us one more weapon. Security is an
issue, as I understand, that many people who design websites or maintain
servers are not really aware of or (maybe) concerned about. They will
have to learn the hard way. Let us first take up the W3C compliance
issue. And, perhaps, the security issue too. Meanwhile, if Aneesh can
send a letter to the University (there used to be a complaint box there

[fsug-tvm] Re: Kerala University registration

2009-05-11 Thread Visakh

Hi,
  Aneesh! Thanks for the article. But ASP alone may not explain why
you are having problems with firefox. ASP is a server side scripting
technology - it has no effect at the browser. If designed properly, it
should be possible to write an ASP page that works flawlessly at any
browser (Orkut is on ASPX). The problem really is what Sasi sir points
out- non adherence to W3C (World wide web consortium) standards. W3C
is the organization that defines web standards like HTML, CSS etc. Its
like all other web browsers follow W3C while IE follows a totally
different standard. Good developers write W3C compliant pages and
tweak them to work on IE, while half trained ones write pages that
work only on IE. That may be what happened with University.

  If you believe that a complaint is going to solve it- it will be
less than half your worries (and theirs). The site is one of the
crappiest I have ever seen. There is a well known vulnerability that
allows others to view your marklist without requiring your password
(that which they tried to avoid). I once did a rudimentary
vulnerability check on the site. It was just short a cracking attempt
- but if somebody wanted to crack it, the site would collapse in less
than 5 minutes. The site does critical operations like input
sanitation right at the browser using javascript (baaad design!). I
was able to turn off javascript and pass a spurious input. The server
threw up an error with all the internal details - including about HTML
and SQL servers. Forcing this kind of error is the essential first
step in a site cracking. I didn't proceed any further- but just
imagine someone passing some spurious SQL query. They have tons of
student data on the server just waiting to be mauled on!

  So how do you expect a team that can't even ensure basic security to
ensure W3C compliance? Its not so much about arrogance as it is about
incompetence. Having said so much- I am not not trying to discourage
you. I can empathize with you. Its annoying when somebody blames your
choice instead of their own incompetence. Its even worse when it is
about something important as student registration. Finally, as an
epilogue- I can no longer access my student details (incl marklist).
This happens every time- albeit to different students!

Regards,
Gokul Das

I saw your blog. Could you write a complaint about the problems to the
University? It is possible that the people who developed the website are
not aware of the problems. So it would be good if you can just point out
the problems you have faced (and the problem your friend faced). Let us
see how they respond. Meanwhile, what about FSUG writing a letter to the
VC with a copy to the Minister on the website design being unsuitable
for viewing in Firefox -- non-adherence to W3C standards?
