— Pixy Misa Please do not click "save as" if this is popping up every time you open Ace of Spades.
RD found a tech site discussing the issue here. I see it and I'm using Firefox, what about you guys?
We're not sure if it is malware or browser issue. Either way, don't click "save as".

Posted by: I lurk, therefore I am at January 14, 2013 04:11 PM (+tsoh)
I caught a plug in container. exe process during one of these things and that's a catch all plug in manager for when FF gets hit with a call for something that needs a plug in which it either doesn't have or the plug in has crashed.
I ran a scan. No malware and it only happens on Ace so far.
My guess? some outside link tries to drop a cookie or a file that it's not supposed because of a call from a normal process of the web page.
Ace may not be able to find out who or what.
w.streamcloud.com is the place to look. 709 bytes is small and may just be some image viewer or it's trying to show an image but there's no plug in to do so.
I'm speculating out my ass here as I'm no guru.
YMMV

It'll try to save the (unknown) file to your computer. This is a bad idea because the file could be malware. (but don't get too worried, you'd have to save it *and* run it to be affected)
Basically hit "cancel" to close the dialog and ignore it.

Hellz....I've spent the last hour combing the 'net trying to figure out what the heck this was. I'm running Firefox 18.0 and got it the first thing upon loading AoS. It's only happening on Ace and now, a couple other webites...but not all. I'm currently running scans and nothing is showing up. Yet.

Java, not Javascript. Two very different animals.
Am running Flashblock under Firefox. Requires explicit prior user authorization before it allows any Flash or Java applet to launch.
Reduces vulnerability to security holes like the ones just found in Java. And also reduces annoyance from autoplay Flash inserts. Not that that ever happens (cough).
Blocking Javascript can be prudent too. A different Firefox extension, NoScript, will help you out with that. However, setting that to exclude all unknown Javascript does very shortly become tedious. Javascript is the kudzu of the Internet; it's freaking everywhere, multiple different scripts on every page no matter how basic, and if you have to explicitly authorize every last piece of it... your head asplode.
BUT, it's good security practice despite the tedium.

If you reload from the front page, it shows.
If you reload from a comments section by clicking the back button, it doesn't.
It doesn't show in the comments whenever I reload.
It's linked from the main page. (ace.mu.nu)
I assume it's in the index.html though not explicit, most websites default to that for the initial page if none is named.

When they started that upgrade o' the month crap I disabled my auto upgrade.
especially after reading about some bad stuff happening to those who didn't and got settings wiped and plugins zapped.
Now, I just upgrade when I get enough complaints from the machine that it can't do this or that or my plugins won't work or I want a new one that won't work for my current.
I'm only up to 8.1 and I'm doing just fine.

I reccomend that everyone switch over to irix 6.5 on an sgi indigo run a vm of next step then when in that vm, vim from inside that vm to FreeBSD 3.4.5-12.2 running a shell script that runs a Kornshell of lynx with mime protocols turned off.
Was that english?

Yup. Dad would have fired up the chemical weapons and carpet bombing about three days into the protests. There would be 500,000 dead Syrians by now.

Nah, you're just on an integrity kick. The effects are very similar (and both are eerily similar to the effects of orange microdot...).

You think Barry is worried about the Copts, or the Jews?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say barry worries less about the Christians in the ME than I spend worrying about hurting Chris Matthews' mangina.

I'm no certainly not a luddite and not without a modicum of computer savvy but linux distros have not been very good to me.
it has been over 10 years but the experience left me with such a disdain for open source as far as OS's go. applications; no problem but having the basic core and raison d'etre of the machine be from unknown sources of unknown quality and planning just smacks of "hobbyism" and "elitism".
I'll get an Apple before I load another Linux.
And don't bother trying to sell me on it. Too many baaaaaadddd experiences. I'd need a psychotherapist to ever put one on a machine. (I may buy a machine that has it preinstalled but I'd always be waiting for the crash. sorta of like pre win xp days.)

The Vaio runs just fine. I have my video editing software on this machine, which has Fire Wire ports as well as a DVD burner when I'm done editing. It has a 2.6 gig P4 processor with 2 gig ram, so XP runs well. At work (a major market TV station) we still run XP on most of our computers, including graphics, weather and camera robotics and microwave control. I've reinstalled XP once in the nearly 10 years I've had this machine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;-)

I tried it, it wouldn't load sites, wouldn't let me change things I wanted to change. (more so than even IE)
At the time IE was a BETTER EXPERIENCE. Unloaded it and never went back.
there's not enough time in a lifetime to sit in front of a machine banging your head on the desk because it wont work or works weird or trashes what your doing and won't admit it's wrong. (IT that is)
I blame Object Oriented Programming.
Too many can't understand the concept, don't execute it properly and don't manage the development well. Because it takes a higher order of thinking and one has to think in a manner different than the mind's usual perception.
Maybe in another generation.

I've seen a bunch of snark about this.
IT'S OUR TECH! That's a C17. That's OUR plane. WE sold it to them.
So snarking about the failure doesn't reflect on them, it reflects on US.

Still. It's our design, it doesn't reflect that badly on them as it might seem.
Just like these fuel leaks and such for the Dream Jet.
It may be a maintenance problem but it's still a problem for the designer. They're responsible for possible making it difficult to do the correct maintenance or their guidelines on what to do are wrong.

Kaspersky did flag it.
In a report, Kaspersky Lab, a Russian antivirus company, said that half of all cyberattacks last year were caused by OracleÂ’s Java software.
This is like the fourth. time this vulnerability has appeared and been incorporated into exploit kits. First becuase Oracle refused to fix it. Then when they got pressure to they have assed it and made it worse (J7U9), then they fixed that fix with J7U10 and screwed it up to because they half assed it again and now hopefully it is finally fixed this time.
I am on the US CERT mailing list and all the vulnerabilities are reported from third parties to Carnegie Mellon University and the distributed by DHS. DHS is is collating and reporting.

Well, geeze, Louise. Octet stream have be processed by octal-base tubes. 6SN7's rule, man. You try running them new-fangled 12 AU7's, you/re just asking for trouble. Melt their tiny pins off, most likely.

It's trying to embed some sort of widget, but because the MIME type is being parsed as application/octet-stream - the catch-all for raw binary data - the browser doesn't know what it is. Looks like a doofus script kiddy has tried to do something and trod on his dick.
