--Man Who Hacked Intel has Judgment Set Aside - 12 Years Later
(March 2 & 3, 2007)
A man who once worked for Intel has succeeded in having his arrest and
conviction for computer crimes set aside nearly 12 years after the fact.
In February 2007, an Oregon court expunged Randal L. Schwartz's
conviction; his legal record is now clean. Schwartz was arrested in
1993 for using a program to discover former Intel colleagues' passwords;
Schwartz had transferred out of one section of Intel under
less-than-happy circumstances and, working as a system administrator,
he intended to demonstrate that security had deteriorated since he left
his original organization. Following his 1995 conviction, Schwartz was
sentenced to five years of probation, 480 hours of community service and
90 days deferred jail time.

When the judge expunged your conviction, he didn't, by chance order that
you be reimbursed for your legal expenses? Or perhaps the prosecutor
and judge on the case should pay your expenses out of their own pockets?

Expungement means only that the records have been sealed. This was more
of a technical operation than any sort of statement about the justification
of the original conviction. As in, it is really simply a cap on the
punishment I receive - not "felon for life" but "felon for 10 years".

Do you mean this case?
[a href="actual link itself"] text of the link [/a]
(I replaced "less than" and "greater than" signs with brackets, so
that any smart(?) news-reader doesn't process it as real link)
Yes, you're right. In that case the URL is hidden to user, so it
doesn't matter that URL is "...%EB%A6". And this is very typical in
plain html documents.
However many recent CGI tools, like blog(MovableType, TatterTools,
etc) and almost (as far as I know) wikis, provide the feature of "auto-
linking"(say). Someone post an article in plain text to his/her blog,
then the blog tool looks for URL pattern in the text, converts it to
"a href" links, and print it in its html output. In this case, "text
of the link" is equal to "actual link".
Another example is, wiki provides the concept of "interwiki" for a
convenient linking. That is, when I submit the text:
UseMod:UseModWiki
Google:UseModWiki (even though google is not a wiki..)
In html output, they are converted automatically to the following
links, respectively:
[a href="http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?
UseModWiki"]UseMod:UseModWiki[/a]
[a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=UseModWiki"]Google:UseModWiki[/
a]
(The mapping table, between a interwiki name like "Google:" and the
real URL like "http://www.google.com/search?q=", is stored in a file
in the server)
In this case, someone may want to put a link to my page in his wiki.
Then "Raymundo:LINUX(ko)" is much (x 100) easier for him and more
understandable to other visitors than "Raymundo:%EB%A6%AC%EB%88%85%EC
%8A%A4".
I've already modified my wiki, so that it encodes the actual link when
it processes interwiki. But it's impossible to force every developers
of all wikis in the world. :-)
Anyway this type of links can be common practice nowadays, in my
opinion.

I agree IE6 acts differently (and strange). This is the access_log of
apache server when a request URL includes "wiki/LINUX(ko)":
"GET /wiki/\xb8\xae\xb4\xaa\xbd\xba" <- IE, EUC-KR
"GET /wiki/%B8%AE%B4%AA%BD%BA <- FF, EUC-KR
"GET /wiki/%EB%A6%AC%EB%88%85%EC%8A%A4" <- IE and FF, UTF-8
I don't know why IE's requests are in diffrent forms as the encoding
differs. It does url-encode if its option is set to use UTF-8 request,
but it doesn't if the option is unchecked. But as fas as I have
tested, my wiki.pl showed no difference between when a request came
from FF and from IE.
I'll consider what you mention with the example ";" and "%3b" and test
more.

I agree and I tried to find the exact problem and the reason of it.
I'll describe here what I found until now:
At first, Anno's code was to change the values of CGI->Vars hash:
$q = new CGI;
# convert
my $param = $q->Vars;
$_ = check_and_convert($_) for values %$param;
File-uploading and trackback features are not part of the original
file. I added it myself about two years ago, getting codes from
examples in WWW.
For file-uploading, wiki.pl prints the form including:
$q->start_form('post',"$ScriptName", 'multipart/form-data') . "\n";
"<input type='hidden' name='action' value='upload'>";
"<input type='hidden' name='upload' value='1'>" . "\n";
$q->filefield("upload_file","",60,80) . "\n"; #
<-- file selection field
" " . "\n";
print $q->submit('Upload') . "\n";
$q->endform
User is supposed to click "open" button, choose a file in a file
selection window, and click "Upload" button to submit.
To save the file in server, the following code is used:
$file = $q->upload('upload_file');
open(FILE, ">file_in_local_disk_of_server");
binmode FILE;
while (<$file>) {
print FILE $_; # read from client's file and write to
server's disk
}
close(FILE);
I put "die;" for check:
$file = $q->upload('upload_file');
die "[$file]"; # here
open(FILE, ">file_in_local_disk_of_server");
If I don't convert Vars, script dies printing "[D:\download
\text.txt]". But when Vars is converted, script dies printing "[]".
That means $file lost the information that it's a file handle.
How can I keep it as valid file handle? Even without converting, I
found that any write access to $file causes the same problem.
my $param = $q->Vars;
$$param{'upload_file'} .= ""; # no other string appended, but
it lose file handle
or even
$$param{'upload_file'} = $$param{'upload_file'}; # it also lose
file handle!!! :-O
So there is nothing that check_and_convert() can do. Modifying "-
>Vars" itself cause problem. If I have to choose this approach anyway,
I can do like this:
my $param = $q->Vars;
foreach (keys %$param) {
$$param{$_} = guess_and_convert($$param{$_}) if ($_ ne
"upload_file"); # don't try to assign param{'upload_file'}
}
But there is no confirm that all other parameters are ordinary
strings.

Yes, I have to consider it in the future. And I still believe it
doesn't matter, because "query string" in URL is anyway just a string
which can't have any invisible information (like $file in above).

That's the type of answer I want! I've never thought of mod_perl or
anything like it. (Actually I have no idea of what it is.)

I plan to check and test more things and choose what to do.

Awfully sorry for chiming in like that but I am labouring under the
impression that using strict and warnings actually saves me a lot
of time since it helps to catch my more stupid errors. Can you help
me to find out about the errors of may ways and write a bit more about

i was being sarcastic about estimating a project schedule when strict
and warnings are enabled. of course i endorse their use all the time but
it was silly for the requirements to specify them. and considering that
this was job application homework it is even sillier. how would using
strict and warnings affect project time estimation?

I fond perl is more useful. Every time I encounter some problem
annoying. For I will use perl to solve them. Though they are all tiny
problems but often need people to do something repeatedly. For example, I
want to convert all CWEB files to C code and meanwhile produce the PDF
documents of these codes. There are several subfolders each have
dozens files. Then, I will use perl to write a script to do that.
Actually, I find I almost do not need to use Shell scripting, and the
rex is so convenient in perl. I use it to replace most work I need to
do using shell script and Applescript( I use Mac ) before.
Beside such trivial system tasks, Perl of course can do much other
things and there is no need to point them all out.

You must have some widget to display text, for example Label()
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::Label;
use Tk::Button;
my $text_to_display = '';
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Demo Program");
$mw->Button(-text => "Test",
-command => \&test)->pack;
$mw->Label(-textvariable => \$text_to_display)->pack;
$mw->Button(-text => "Exit",
-command => sub{exit})->pack;
MainLoop;
sub test {
$text_to_display = "We have reached the subroutine part";
}

It's good to know you got it to work, but I would suggest that this
post is going to be nearly useless to some future googler unless they
come across your OP first AND the thread remains intact. In the
future perhaps you could consider full-quoting your OP and posting the
solution below.
We've all Googled issues like this but, as I'm sure you know, all one
normally finds is other people with the same problem.
