Gadu-Gadu and Tlen multiple low/med impact vulns
Four days ago j00ru published some of his findings in Gadu-Gadu 7.7 [Build 3725] and Tlen IM 6.00.2.69. Inter alia, j00ru writes about GG number registration captcha bypass, remote file storage (this one is very interesting imho ;>), both GG and Tlen's Denial of Service, and Tlen's message sendtime spoofing.
The advisory can be found in the security section, or here (direct link).
unnks 0.1 sees the light of day
A few days ago I published the source code for unnks, an extractor for NKS archives that are used by several programs to store musical samples. It does what it advertises, and is portable across several operating systems. I set up a project on sourceforge to host the files permanently.

IGK 2008 Compo results
Two weeks ago (the news is late, as always) some Vexillium members (me, Xa Hellwing and j00ru) attended at the polish IGK conference (IGK stands for Inzynieria Gier Komputerowych, which can be translated as Computer Game Engineering) in Siedlce (east Poland). As every year, there was an eight-hour-long team game compo at the end of the conference, in which we took part (with naleth being our fourth member - and he did a fine job indeed =^^=). The compo topic was "sewers - paradise underground" (lol ;D), and we decided to code a two-player underground deathmatch with portals, rats, and "cheeze rulz" in the background. After 8 hours of coding, and a very exciting vote counting it was revealed that out game got TOP1 (ypiiii!) =^^=. Some screens from the game can be found in the gamedev section, and the game is planed to be release in near future (a post compo version, since the compo version had some stupid bugs). The game requires two mice to play btw =^^=.
Additionally to the game compo there was an unofficial Quake 3 tournament, which I've manage to win =^^=. My brother, Samlis Coldwind, was TOP2, while TOP3/4 was shared by Krzysiek K. and salvation. Another interesting event on the conference was a game dev knowledge Quiz made by the guys from gamedev.pl - Reg and Xion. The quiz was won by artpoz, while I tied fourth with Charibo =^^=.
Well, the conference was very entertaining and I've really enjoyed it! I hope to see all of the participants next year! It was fun to see You guys again =^^=.
And for a final word... Respect to all the compo teams!
Old DigitalRay animation
I've added an old animation made using our DigitalRay engine. Its very simple, but was fun to code (C++ ftw). You can either go to the art section and use the links, or just click here to download (1.8MB) or here to watch on youtube.
Vexillium.org moved to a new hosting
Our site became quite popular recently, and we kept exceeding transfer limits at our old hosting, so we had to switch to a new one. The main website has been fully transfered to the new hosting (as You can see =^^=), but there might be some problems accessing our other sites for a few more days - sorry for the inconvenience.
Btw, as You probably have noticed, Xa began to create a comic strip. #1 you can see on the right, and #2 is comming soon (maybe tomorrow even). Go go Xa! FTW =^^=.
Firefox and Opera remote information disclosure advisory publication
Some time ago (in december 2007) I found a vulnerability in some popular browsers. Today, when the fixed versions are already released, the advisory describing the vulnerability is released. The paper and a demonstration video can be found here.
DLL Spoofing
Recently I found out that the site Revival.pl has been closed. One of my papers was availible on that site, and only on that site, so I guess it went offline as well. So, I've uploaded it to this site =^^=. The paper is in polish (maybe I'll translate it later). The paper can be found here.
FPU Tracer v0.0.1 release
I've added a new tool - Float Tracer program, to the Security section. You can see some screenshots at http://j00ru.vexillium.org/FPU_Tracer/screenshots/. Have fun playing with it ;> And feel free to report any bugs ^^
SDL_Image advisory publication, ExcpHook 0.0.4 release
In the SECURITY section I've put an advisory regarding SDL_Image 1.2.6 GIF buffer overflow. Additionally I've relased 0.0.4 version of ExcpHook - my exception monitoring application for Windows XP. That's it for now ;>
Publication of exploitation paper for Gadu-Gadu BO
In the SECURITY section j00ru has published exploitation paper for his GG remote vuln disclosed some time ago. Additionally he has put in the same section his old WinImage advisory.
Filling the black pages
This news is written mostly to fill the blank pages hehe. I've uploaded an old Virtual PC detection research paper to SECURITY section, and a Opera Remote DoS advisory, also in the SECURITY section. Well, that's it for now.
New website
Well, what to say. Finally after many many years we have created a website with some more text in it ;>.
