  Flash website with WordPress back-end (site design update) 

  After doing some research on google, i think it maybe possible to do the whole new digiwebbs site design using flash. I’m going to create a whole website in flash and use WordPress as the back-end for my articles/blog posts. I’m going to attempt this using Tim Wilson’s script PressConnect:

  PressConnect is a PHP Script I have developed to connect my Flash Website to my Wordpress Content.

  The Code interrogates the Database and Returns Posts, Pages, Categories, and Creates Menus in XML

  Just Updated with Better Code and New Functions.

  New: I have release the .fla file my website is based on, it is available for purchase

  more info on the PressConnect script.

  Next Problem: Search Engine Optimising (SEO) the Flash Site

  The next challenge with Flash based websites is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), which will be tricky, because the site will be a .swf file, which according to some sources can be ‘read’ by google, others say it can’t be read by google.  My intention is to have the content that can be indexed by google in one div (content generated by PHP), but if the browser supports it, then the flash content of the site will be displayed. This would be achieved with some javascript (ugh!), although there is a handy google tool: SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small JavaScript file.

  So in the next few weeks, digiwebbs, hopefully will be a working Flash Website with a WordPress back-end, serving all the blog posts,articles and pages!

  Of couese, i’ll be blogging the progress!

    Any progress on this? I’d like to know more about what you’re planning on doing for your SEO workaround, seeing as I’ve been meandering about with pressconnect for a while now and would like to see someone else’s implentation before committing to my own.

    Hi K, erm progress at the moment is a little slow – i’ve put this project on hold while i complete my final year at uni. just soo much work to do on my dissertaion project! but if i have any spare time during the christmas holidays i’ll see what i can do. For SEO the flash, i’ll use javascript to write the flash site, but since search engines suposidly can’t read the flash file, i’ll just have the php echo the content using in a basic wordpress theme, so people without flash, and search engines can ‘read’ the content of the site…

  Social Engineering Tactics: Attacking With e-mails 

  Computer security:How Social Engineers are hacking into computers using Trojans as backdoors by getting users to click links in e-mails

  Background
  We are all very aware of attacks to gain our bank details by sending spoof emails of various banks, eBay and google ads accounts. More info about social engineers can be found on the The Art of Deception post.

  The Con
  Social Engineers are finding new ways to attack victims using Phishing methods. They send mass emails with subjects similar to those pictured bellow:

  

  the subject of the e-mails are designed so that you click on them, some other headers included World War 3 videos, video of saddam beheading etc

  

  emails typically contain a link to the page which contains a Trojan. Most of the time (as in most of the emails written by scammers), the grammar isn’t correct, many spelling mistakes as well as other mistakes such as the formatting of addresses.

  

  So when the user goes to ‘play’ the video, they are promted to download a file in order to play the file (often the file downloads without interaction from the user). However, this file contains a backdoor into your system (Trojan Horse).

  Similarly this method of getting the user to download a file in order to ‘play’ a video or somehow access content is used on ‘free’ adult sites – claiming free porn – when in fact they are getting a virus.

  How to Prevent?

  Have a good Virus Scanner that scans sites and files as you visit them on the Internet. The one i use is AVAST Free edition and it stops the Trojan entering the PC, and terminating the connection with that server….and keep it up to date, otherwise its pointless having it installed

  In general if the email looks dodgy don’t click links in it – simple!
