[And the winner is: George the Greek]
Today we are celebrating, here in Israel, 60 years of being an independent country. As part of the celebration, I’m releasing a new 0day vulnerability.
One of our customs in Independence day is to play a “treasure hunt” game. In this game there is a treasure hidden somewhere in our beautiful country, and we get mysterious clues that help us find this treasure by traveling to many great sites all over Israel.
In the spirit of this day, I’ve decided not to release full details about this vulnerability yet, but rather play a little “treasure hunt” game.
Somewhere in my blog, I embedded a proof-of-concept code which exploits this 0day vulnerability. The following are some clues that will help you find this 0day treasure:
  1) IE7.0 and IE8.0b users will get pwned.
  2) An interaction with the sploit is needed.
  3) There’s no need to find the post. It’s everywhere.
  4) 404 is the way to go.
  5) Acidus was right! Local resources is the key. 
  6) What else can you do with an anchor? Think out of the box, literally.
  7) Charles Babbage is probably turning in his grave. 
  8) The following screenshot should really help you find the source of the treasure:
    
9) Put the videos together to find the treasure.
        

Every day or two I will add a new clue to this list, in a hope that by next Wednesday someone will eventually find the treasure
Next Wednesday I will release the full technical details of this 0day vulnerability and the proof-of-concept code.
Until then, feel free to comment your findings. The first person who will post a comment with the proof-of-concept code and details on how to use it to exploit the vulnerability will be declared as the winner.
Now, I don’t have any laptop prize to give the winner. But, beside the credit for being the first to find a 0day treasure, I’m willing to offer the winner a free entrance to the IsraCON security conference that will take place in Israel this summer.

Happy hunting!

[UPDATE 08-May-2008] Some of you guys out there are already in the right direction, some are not. I've added 2 more clues.
[UPDATE 10-May-2008] You are getting closer. Pay attention to clue number 6.
[UPDATE 11-May-2008] Yet another clue added.
[UPDATE 12-May-2008] I've added a new screenshot clue. 
[UPDATE 13-May-2008] Last clue added (3 videos). The game will end tomorrow evening (Israel time). You still have enough time to find the treasure.
[UPDATE 14-May-2008 02:30] And we have a winner! details soon...
[UPDATE 14-May-2008 16:15] The winner is: George the Greek. Congratulations! Full technical details of the vulnerability are available here.

I've just transfered my domain and hosting to GoDaddy. They seem very nice, and have some good domains/hosting deals.

I also decided to upgrade my dasBlog version to 1.9, which supports a redirection of RSS to feedburner.

So, from now on all my RSS feeds are automatically redirected to my feedburner's account. No need to change your subscription.

Comments, suggestions or flames about the recent changes are more than welcome :)

Finally, I got a ticket for Celine Dion's concert.
The price was lower than the TicketMaster's, and the only problem I've encountered was that I had to take a long walk from my hotel, New York-New York, to the box office at the Caesars Palace hotel, while the outside temperature was over 39 degrees Celsius.

It worthed the sweat. I got an excellent seat in the middle of on one of the front rows.
As the nice old lady at the box office told me: "Well, there is at least one advantage of going to the concert alone..."

Blogging from the air is not something bloggers usually do. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to do so.
I'm writing this post 11km up in the air, in a Lufthansa air flight on our way to Los Angeles.
One and a half hour before we land , we've just passed Denver.
Having an Internet connection on a flight is a great time killer, especially after over 14 hrs of flight from Israel.

As you've already know, I'm on my way to one week of vacation, and then to the PDC conference.
Unfortunately, I couldn't buy the ticket to Celine Dion's concert through TicketMaster. I didn't know I had to buy the ticket 10 days before the concert. :(
I hope they'll still have good seats left when I'll get to Vegas.

Mean time I hope to enjoy LA the same as my last visit.
