Jump in and slide down the slopes with ease. As soon as you jump off of a ramp, you must follow the colored dots with your finger to perform a trick. The more tricks you do for each ramp, the more points you'll earn. The game is over when you don't perform the required amount of tricks for the level.
The faster you execute a trick, the more points you will earn per trick. If you hit the floor while you're in the middle of a trick (red dot), you crash and loose all the points for the current ramp. If it's an orange dot, you don't lose any points. When you land on a green dot, you'll pull off a perfect landing and earn double points.

brand extensions
Posted by Mark J. Miller on May 8, 2012 10:01 AM
AT&T has done such a thorough job of branding that consumers don't think the company does much else beyond wireless telephony. Of course, that has never been true and the company is now aiming to continue its expansion into other areas.
The wireless service provider, according to Reuters, "is making a big investment in a nationwide wireless home monitoring service" with the hope that it could add another $1 billion in revenue to the corporation's coffers.
Trials of the new service, called Digital Life, are planned for this year and will require customers to have sensors and cameras installed that will be linked to a central home system that then connects to AT&T's monitoring system wirelessly.
Subscribers will be able to monitor an entire house from a smartphone, tablet or PC, and it's not just home security but energy and healthcare-related monitoring and other functions.
Digital Life will allow customers to monitor their homes from afar digitally as well as do such things as raise and lower the temperature or unlock doors. Digital Life announced an international service in February, and is now launching nationwide in the U.S.
"When you're a company like AT&T ... you look at opportunities that are billion-dollar opportunities," said Glenn Lurie, the AT&T executive in charge of the project. "Obviously to grow our business at any level, when you're a $130 billion plus company, you have to look for significant opportunities. We view this as a significant opportunity."
Lurie notes that only 20 percent of U.S. homes have security systems so there is a lot of upside to getting involved in the market. But what it means to the average consumer is that they should start expecting to hear from AT&T real soon about how much more they think they can do for you.

Asia's Finest
So Reem got over-confident
And was dominating Silva until he got KOed.
Based on his performance do you, guys, think he can beat Cain or Junior? Hell, I think Big Country can even beat him with his slow reflexes.
Boooooomb Squad
too much **** has gone on with overeem.
the steroid ****, all the tie off, now slacking and getting ko'd by a guy he should have dominated
i think hes reached the end, personally. It's a shame as it'd have been good to se him vs Cain if he was 100%

No intensity. Reem thought he could just go through the rounds and KO silva when he wanted. What an idiot.

IF he's not 100 percent at this fight, I hope he will be in his next fight or else it's down the line for him.

He is definitely past his prime now which is unfortunate for him and the fans. But he has gone through brutal losses like this before and came back strong. He becomes arrogant and loses partially because of that and then works hard with a more humble approach and comes back strong. He has done it for most of his career, hell Badr Hari KO'd him in 09's K-1 when he was even more ****y and foolish than last night. The next year none of that was there and he ended up as the champion.
I still think he takes Cain's head off and would have the upperhand against JDS. Bigfoot is nowhere near the level of these guys, that freak can have his moment and be delusional but he will go nowhere.

happy thanksgiving to all!
Hope everyone has a Happy T'day and lots of wonderful food and a great day with family and friends. And for those who like DH and myself, who are staying home alone, Ihope your day is filled with lots of love. For anyone traveling, please stay safe!!!
The pies and breads are baked and yummy. The dressing is ready to go with lots of mushrooms and sausage. The bird is prepped and awaiting the oven. So...guess I need to finish the job.
Again, have a great day!
It's Friday and the house is quiet. Auburn won the Ironbowl-War Eagle. Turkey soup is in process. Thanksgiving was great, we had 18- between friends and family, all our kids were home. A busy, happy day.
Now if I could just stop nibbling on the pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll & pumpkin trifle!
Hope you all had a grateful day.
Thanks for the greeting Belle. Hope your day was yummy and cozy. We had a really nice time together and lots of yummy food too. Even slipped on our sweaters and took a walk afterwards--kinda chilly in So. Calif.
I was really tired yesterday, not used to being on my feet so much and being so busy anymore! I still need to stash a few platters and bowls in the big cabinet above the fridge--wasn't feeling like climbing up on the step stool yesterday.
Tollpeggy, I'm planning on doing my turkey soup today, that's my favorite way to use up the leftover turkey too.
Also need to gather up all my fall decorations and get them stashed in their bins and back in the shed. Then it will be time to pull out all the Christmas bins--didn't I just do that???? Seems like the years roll by faster and faster!
I've got lots of projects earmarked to paint, will need to get busy and "git r done". Sure wish I had a painting buddy to sit and chat with while I paint, that would make it even more fun. Guess I'll have to settle for putting on the Christmas cd's won't I?
Enjoy your weekend.

The Minnesota Vikings are in desperate need of a quarterback. A short three-hour trip west on I-94 to Fargo, North Dakota, senior quarterback Brock Jensen just led the NDSU Bison to its third straight FCS championship, setting all sorts of records along the way. Note to Vikings GM Rick Spielman… Draft him.

Accuracy of appraisal
I will be closing on the purchase of a house tomorrow. Yesterday in the mail, I received the appraisal performed for the mortgage company. It has some errors in it, notably that the wood frame house has vinyl siding.
By some strange coincidence, the house appraised at the exact sum that I am paying for it. That amount is lower than I thought it would have.
Now that I have my loan, does this appraisal matter for any purpose?
Nope, doesnt matter at all. I asked an appraiser once why the appraisals always seem to come in at "just the exact number needed for the loan". He told me that if it is more than 5% difference than what is needed they have to do a lot more paperwork. They are less concerned about giving you an exact appraisal and more concerned with just giving you what you need.
Appraisers have had a petition before congress for years, imploring them to crack down on lending institutions that blackball appraisers who don't come in at a predetermined price...to no avail.
Consequently, the appraiser either plays ball or closes up shop...as he/she will receive very little if any business otherwise.
One more mystery solved regarding how so many homes were sold and mortgages issued for such inflated values.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Consumers killing themselves with salt Wrong lesson for food firms
If your company makes soup, what's the best way to shoot yourself in the foot? Try selling soup with a little less salt. In 2009 Campbell Soup made a brave and healthy decision. Each serving of its soup would have 32 per cent less sodium to help tame one of North America's big killers: hypertension. Now foolish consumers have forced Campbell's soup in the United States to put sodium back in again.
Fortunately, this decision at the moment does not affect Campbell's soup in Canada. Moreover, there are also other products here that are helping to combat these common diseases. For instance, Loblaw's President's Choice Blue Menu line of products contains both decreased salt and calories. Blue Menu soup has only 400 milligrams of salt compared to 800 or more milligrams in other soups.
But Campbell's low salt soup and these other products will not remain on Canadian shelves unless consumers get smart and start buying health rather than salt.
For years the medical profession has lambasted food manufacturers for loading our food with salt, thus stoking the epidemic of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure is the leading cause of death in the world. It's a silent killer. We're unable to feel its presence.
Stephen Havas, professor of epidemiology and preventive medicine at the University of Maryland, claims, "The number of deaths from excess salt is equivalent to a commuter jet crashing every day in the U.S."
Sir William Osler, professor of medicine at McGill, Johns Hopkins and Oxford universities, said you were lucky if you were born with what he called "good rubber." Namely, it's good if you inherit arteries of good quality that do not become hardened with the passage of time.
Hard, inflexible arteries make it harder for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. This is why heart failure is now one of the leading causes of death in this country. Like a tired horse, the overworked heart finally gives up.
The constant pounding of too much pressure on organs, such as the kidneys, often results in organ failure, but the first symptom may be death from a massive stroke when an artery, like a tire that has too much pressure, ruptures.
None of us can choose our parents, but we can choose our lifestyle to decrease the risk of hypertension. One way was to choose Campbell's low sodium soup. Denise Morrison, president of Campbell's North American Soup, called the company "the poster child of wellness" in 2009 when Campbell's decreased the salt content in U.S. soup.
Now due to the salt preference of U.S. customers, Campbell's "poster child" has suffered a premature demise. This is a huge tragedy. It was an opportunity to send an important message to the entire food industry.
I can only speculate what Campbell's president is thinking, but I'd bet she's saying, "For years doctors and other health officials have urged us to lower the salt content of soup. So we took a product that had been a success for 112 years, was producing a profit, loved by millions, and decreased the salt content by 32 per cent, removing 46 million teaspoons of salt from our soup. But we were deceived. The public does not want lower salt products. Now we've lost money, our shareholders are angry and we'll never make that mistake again. If you want salt, we'll give it you." Who can blame them?
There's a greater tragedy. Don't think this error hasn't been noticed by other food companies. They've seen Campbell's U.S. profits slump while their company didn't get caught in this great salt experiment. I believe hell will freeze over before they'll change a profitable product loaded with salt. Economics, rather than good health, will rule the day.
Today, we live in an era when consumers refuse to suffer one iota to achieve good health. It's not just excess salt. It's a combination of too much salt, sugar and calories of all kinds that has triggered the epidemic of hypertension, obesity and degenerative disease.

history buff
You would be justified if you thought there are too many books about the Civil War & about Lincoln. I believe there are more books about Lincoln than there are about any figure in the western canon. So I looked askance at yet another one. Since I had read 2 other excellent volumes by Foner, including one I highly recommend about reconstruction, I took the dive.
Foner has produced something unique here. He has followed the line of the history of antebellum racism and thought about slavery, in general, and Lincoln's thoughts and actions about it in particular. There may not be anything 100% new in the book, but the way it is all put in one place, chronologically and with ample evidence, is what makes it a valuable addition to history.
Lincoln was both a man of his time and a professional politician. That has to be the starting point for any discussion of his views and actions about slavery in the United States. As Foner makes clear, Lincoln always had an abhorrence of slavery and unpaid servitude in general. Which does not mean he was not a racist by our 21st century standards. Lincoln was not the most anti-slavery man, or politician of his time ... had he been so, we would not know his name today, because he never could have become so prominent in politics nor become president.
Foner's accomplishment is to show how Lincoln's views changed over his career. From someone not terribly concern about slavery (in the 1840s, for instance) but still against it, to someone increasing concerned about it (in the 1850s) but mainly in the context of territorial expansion, to someone who gradually recognized it as the central cause of the war between the states. Along the way, Lincoln did drag along some of his cherished (and now repudiated) ideas, like the idea of colonization (which he held until late in his presidency in some fashion). And a habit of demeaning blacks in his manner of talking (like using the n-word and telling jokes). Highly recommended.
Once in a great while, I come across a book on Audible that deserves a very wide readership (if that is the right term for what we do). This is just one of those cases. Candice Millard has done a superb job in writing a very approachable book, in a breezy and informative fashion. The narrator is outstanding as well.
This is one of those books that combines biography, history, natural sciences, anthropology/ethnography with an adventure story. Millard does a great job in just a few passages characterizing TR -- part historian, part renaissance man, part hero, along with his less endearing attributes of being a blabbermouth, bits of excessive pride, mixed with not alittle hyperactivity disorder and alittle foolishness. She also provides good biographical information on TR's Brazilian co-leader of the expedition & TR's son Kermit, who came along on the trip a bit under duress, to take care of a father who was already visibly ailing.
In today's world, a world in which such exploration stories are rare, you can imagine TR going bungee jumping in his 50s, while on an exploration tour of the North Slope of Alaska in mid-winter. Or perhaps traveling out to the international space station (on someone else's dollar) and spending much time talking to us back on earth via a TV circuit.
Truth is better than fiction. This book deserves a wide readership.
This book is a great listen. The author succeeds in bringing you into some version of the historical present of the early 1400s in France, & into a speculative but ultimately quite plausible view of Joan of Arc's own mind over the course of her very very short career. She is helped by an abundance of documentary evidence about "the maiden" warrior, much of it from her interrogation & trial, & a bit more from her reaffirmation 25-30 years after her execution. The book lacks the "drama" I recall from film & childrens' book treatments of Joan of Arc that were current in my childhood. But like many things of this kind, the real drama of her life & times is geometrically more interesting & compelling than the distorted portraits in the popular biography realm. I came away from the book feeling that I had "understood" Joan through her intense adolescent passions, manifested in religious ferocity & a peculiar sort of patriotism. But also seeing the complexity & contradiction always present in adolescent passions that helps explain some of the documentary evidence about what happened to her (especially once she was imprisoned & being interrogated). The odd thing about these short-biographies is that I always finish wanting to know more & a bit disappointed with the priority choices the authors must make to keep the volumes within prescribed length. In this volume, the author chose to shortchange the reader on the historico-political context, in my view, & to then include an extended analysis toward the end about how later writers interpreted & distorted the real story. But that section was interesting even though I would have preferred something else. I would advise the prospective reader that even if you are not particularly interested in learning about Joan of Arc, you will still enjoy the book & be happy in the end that you learned about her life & times.

Fara is really friendly. The apartment is really close to the train station which is very convenient.
Un appartement proche de la gare et a la fois du centre commercial. Fara est vraiment sympa, il a prepare tout pour nous et a explique tout avec patience. A recommander.
Fara is a very warm and welcoming person. He offered us food for breakfast and warm drinks every day. He gave us some good recommendations regarding where to eat and which places to visit. The flat itself is centrally located, near to the main station and city centre. The rooms are well equipped with basic furniture but they could be a bit better maintained. Altogether, I am very happy with my staying at Fara's place and I can recommend him as a perfect host.
Fara is a very friendly and welcoming host. He left all flat just for us!
The house is in a central position between the city center and the main station.
The room and the bathroom could have been cleaned in a better way.
Apartment was not the same as shown on the photos but it was a place to sleep for a couple of nights. Apartment was on the 10th floor with elevator available. Small kitchen with microwave to make light meals. Easy access to tram going to the train station and links to all trams.
Très bon accueil, Fara est un hôte attentif, toujours prêt à aider la personne qu'il reçoit.
Le slogan "comme chez vous" n'est vraiment pas usurpé.
Fara a un véritable talent pour mettre "à l'aise" et un grand souci du détail dans son protocole d'accueil.
L'appartement est particulièrement bien situé et je n'ai même pas eu à utiliser les transports.
En revanche je dois dire que j'ai dû passer à un moment où Fara était débordé car c'était un peu "en vrac" chez lui :-).
Salut à sa nièce Sara que j'ai eu le plaisir de croiser.
The host was there when we arrived, safe neighborhood. We were a group of 12 and he accommodated us with enough beds.
Il est très sympa, et agréable. C'est bonne mémoire pour nous de loger chez lui. Je souhaite de rencontrer M.Fara.
Perfetta è molto accogliente. Appartamento ampio e come da descrizione
Shohre was a very nice guest
We had a realy good time
She is welcome anytime again
Shohre and Fara have been very kind and it was a pleasure to have you here, Shohre. I can give a very good review and say that Shohre is a nice, clean, respectful, happy and friendly guest I can highly recommend for other hosts too - and you are always welcome back, Shohre. I wish all the best and see you another time. You are very welcome.
Pas de problème avec ce voyageur.
Very very nice and friendly couple. They left the room like they found clean and organized. Fara gave us some advices to Paris.

Nelson Mandela Dies at 95, Obama Pays Tribute
Updated: Thursday, December 5 2013, 06:04 PM EST
Nelson Mandela died Thursday after a long illness. He was 95. South African President Jacob Zuma announced the news Thursday evening.
"For now let us pause and give thanks that Nelson Mandela lived, a man who took history in his hands and built the arc of the moral universe towards justice," President Barack Obama said in an address to the nation on Thursday night. "May God bless his memory and keep him in peace."
Mandela was taken to a hospital on June 8 for treatment for a recurring lung infection. Mandela was South Africa's first democratically elected President and an anti-apartheid revolutionary.
"Nelson Mandela never wavered in his devotion to democracy, equality and learning," a biography on the Nelson Mandela Foundation website states. "Despite terrible provocation, he never answered racism with racism. His life has been an inspiration to all who are oppressed and deprived, to all who are opposed to oppression and deprivation."

Nightlife: The Dandy Warhols Get Acoustic for Fashion's Night Out at Fred Segal/Ron Herman
Slow rolling Dandy's
Lina Lecaro
Fashion's Night Out, the self-proclaimed "splurge-inspiring event" that took over major citties all around the world, including LA for the first time this past Friday, presented some notable music and performance elements that went beyond the expected laptop pop-while-you-shop DJ sets.
Coco de Mer offered burlesque, John Varvatos had rock photographer Robert Knight shooting shopper's portraits, and Alpha featured The House of Extravaganza vogue crew doing moves in the windows. Hot turntable action did amp up the pink, princessy environs of Tarina Tarantino (the designer spun her own shindig) and Betsey Johnson (where we $pent our dough).
But the biggest live music Fashion hap was definitely at the Fred Segal/Ron Herman store on Melrose, where The Dandy Warhols were brought in for an acoustic set by denim brand PRPS. The pricey shopping palace was packed for the band and the free booze, heavy on bohemian ("like you") luxe looks, even if there were entirely too many of those silly, furry animalhead hoodie things prancing around!
We're big Warhols fans, but their acoustic set was kind of a snooze, especially the slow-mo version of The Rolling Stones' "Last Time" in which Courtney Taylor and co. actually took the hook of the chorus away entirely. Blasphemous! Hopefully, that'll be the last time they do the tune that way.
For their signature jiggle/jangle, we recommend The Dandy Warhols- The Capitol Years 1996-2007, just released last month, which offers a more potent paradigm for the group's stylized dance pop, the pizzazz of which sometimes get lost in their pared down performances.
By the way, we hadn't seen so much excitement on Melrose since the early 90's! Herman's parking lot resembled a dance club and out front food trucks and gussied up girlies stomping from store to store made the Night Out electric indeed. Read more about the festivities and check out all the hot (and not) looks in this week's Nightranger.

Is there a way to order the new 2013 mid size staff bag with my name and the Team Titleist logo? This is an awesome bag that I need to own.
Contacted my local Titlest dealer a couple weeks ago about getting the TT logo on a new bag, my biggest question was would it be red and black like on the bag tag even on a black bag or will they do a custom color combination.
Look forward to your reply.

The Last Myth
What the Rise of Apocalyptic Thinking Tells Us About America
By Matthew Barrett Gross; Mel Gilles
(Prometheus Books, Paperback, 9781616145736, 254pp.)
Publication Date: March 6, 2012

During the first dozen years of the twenty-first century, apocalyptic anticipation in America has leapt from the cultish to the mainstream. Today, nearly 60 percent of Americans believe that the events foretold in the book of Revelation will come true. But many secular readers also seem hungry for catastrophe and have propelled books about peak oil, global warming, and the end of civilization into bestsellers. How did we come to live in a culture obsessed by the belief that the end is near?
The Last Myth explains why apocalyptic beliefs are surging within the American mainstream today. Demonstrating that our expectation of the end of the world is a surprisingly recent development in human thought, the book reveals the profound influence of apocalyptic thinking on America's past, present, and future.
Mathew Barrett Gross rewrote the rules of presidential politics as the director of Internet Communications for Howard Dean's groundbreaking 2003–2004 presidential campaign. Highly regarded as a new media strategist, he has consulted for numerous political campaigns, advocacy organizations, and global NGOs, and has been profiled in the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, and Fast Company. A former rock drummer and river guide, he lives in Moab, Utah.
Mel Gilles is the cofounder and director of Sol Kula Yoga and Healing in Moab, Utah. She served as a nonprofit director and consultant for over a decade. Her writing has appeared in newspapers, magazines, and blogs nationwide; her essay "The Politics of Victimization" went viral, appearing on MichaelMoore.com and BuzzFlash and reaching more than two million readers around the world.
"If you want to know what's really happening in the reality gap between our culture and our politics, and how we can refocus our efforts on real problems rather than just on fears, The Last Myth lays it out in brilliant detail. A must-read book!"
-Thom Hartmann, Bestselling author and international radio and TV show host
"The Last Myth is an important and moving analysis of the apocalyptic impulse that impels this culture toward its destructive ends. It is an even more important and moving exploration of what we can and must do about it."
-Derrick Jensen, Author of Endgame
"The ability to distinguish between genuine perils—like climate change—and less fearsome ones is as key a skill as there can be at this tough moment, and this book has some truly interesting thoughts about how to do it."
-Bill McKibben, Author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
"The Last Myth is a book of ideas born out of this moment in time. Rapture. Rupture. Climate change. Change of heart. It is in our nature to live against the edge of apocalypse. Mathew Barrett Gross and Mel Gilles show us in intelligent and provocative prose that the gift of presence is all we have. This book is one that should be brought to the dinner table for lively and transformative conversation with family and friends. At a time when so much separates us ideologically, these ideas can unite us in our understanding that the only end of the world we really need to fear is the end of our imagination."
-Terry Tempest Williams, Author of When Women Were Birds and The Open Space of Democracy

Bajaj Finance Q1FY15 results update
Bajaj Finance Ltd (BFL) reported net profit of Rs 211.4 cr (+20.3% YoY) in Q1FY15 which was above expectations primarily due to higher than expected Net Interest Income (NII). NII increased 23.2% YoY and 23.0% QoQ with increase in consumer durable segment. AUM growth remained strong at 40.1% YoY and disbursements increased 48.3% YoY led by growth in Consumer Durables (digital product sales and lifestyle financing) and SME business.
Asset quality witnessed improvement in Q1FY15 with gross NPA at 1.15% and net NPA at 0.27% (vs 1.18% and 0.28% in Q4FY14). Almost all the product mixes witnessed satisfactory performance in an extremely challenging environment which is commendable.
Going forward, SME business will continue to drive disbursement growth. Capital Adequacy Ratio of 18% will support BFL's growth plan for the next 4-5 quarters and the company does not intend to raise capital in near term. However, with increasing contribution from SME business; comparatively lower margin yielding business could lead to some margin compression going forward.
Strong loan growth, focus on distribution income, control over costs coupled with stable asset quality would drive performance for BFL. We expect earnings to grow at 25.4% CAGR over FY14-FY16E. Continued focus on rural lending will further strengthen its position as a retail finance company. Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment and the high risk segments where BFL operates, its focus on affluent segments and strong risk management framework have ensured stable asset quality, even in the riskier segments.
At CMP the stock is trading at 2.35x FY15E and 1.95x FY16E ABV and 12.38x FY15E and 9.69x FY16E EPS. We maintain our HOLD rating on the stock and arrive at target price of Rs 2,410 (2.15x FY16E ABV); an upside of 10.3% from current levels.
- BFL will wind its Construction Equipment business due to continued poor ROE performance. The residual portfolio of around Rs 400 cr will be re-paid in due course of 15-18 months. BFL does not foresee any major credit loss to emerge in the residual portfolio.
- Net interest income increased 23.2% on YoY basis which is lower than the volume growth reported by the company. This is primarily due to re adjustment of portfolio towards lower yielding SME segment led to lower spreads for the company. Going forward, declining yields on SME portfolio will continue to result in lower margins.
- Operating expenses increased by 26.8% YoY and 12.0% QoQ. The increase is due to one-time ad spend of Rs 8 cr on brand campaign. Cost to income ratio increased to 45.9% in Q1FY15 vs 45% in Q1FY14.
- 2W financing de grew 13% (20% last quarter) whereas three wheeler business de grew 20 (38% last quarter) % in Q1FY15.
- Market share of BFL in the 3W business stood at 22% which is lower than 27% last quarter due to slowdown in commercial vehicle industry.

UPDATE 06/03/2015 – Microsoft have released a statement that their Secure Channel (Schannel) SSL implementation is vulnerable to the FREAK attack across all implementation of Microsoft Windows. You can find details on the Microsoft advisory here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3046015
It's been less than two weeks since we were here last, telling tales of woe about SSL Man-in-the-Middle attacks that leaves all your data open for malicious users to view, and lookie, here we are again.
Let me set the scene for you; it's the 1990s, and crypto for the masses is on the rise; not least of which is PGP for your emails and Netscape Corporation conjuring up SSL, as a means of encrypting data for secure communication.
The US government, now unable to read everyone's shopping list, decrees that strong encryption is a munition, and any encryption systems exported from the US must utilise deliberately weakened encryption keys [1]. In the case of RSA encryption, this specified that the key length must not exceed 512 bits.
Yup that's right, these were specifically engineered to be breakable. (Cue legions of activists travelling from the US with the PGP source code tattooed on their body parts).
As of course as we are aware, SSL performs a negotiation to allow clients capable of stronger encryption methods to use those over the weaker ones. US clients connected to the servers with strong ciphers – everyone else used the weakened 'Export' grade ciphers, and had to put up with the NSA knowing their favourite breakfast cereal.
Roll on the end of the 90s and early 00s, the export restrictions are lifted and 'secure' SSL comes to us all (well, mostly all), so surely these weak ciphers are all disabled and removed by software updates into non-existence right?……Sure.
EXPORT Ciphers
So these are old and broken ciphers, and we now have a negotiation process that prefers stronger and secure ciphers, so what's the issue? Only those who can't use proper crypto would be victims, right? The masses in the still taboo countries on the restricted list, and a few million corporate users browsing their Internet banking from work on IE6.
So, given that (in theory) no modern clients would ask for export ciphers, and no servers should support them, and cryptanalysis is haaaaard, there shouldn't be a problem.
So let's jump into these points, starting maybe a bit unusually with the second point, that the number of servers actually supporting Export grade cipher suites is very small. Details emerging today show that over the IPv4 address space, 26.3% (at time of writing)[2] supported at least one RSA-Export grade Cipher Suite.
The excellent blog article by Matthew Green[3] identifies a number of interesting (worrying) sites supporting EXP ciphers, including notable content providers (presumably to avoid support calls when people couldn't access their customers' sites using archaic browsers).
Other notable sites included nsa.gov, tips.fbi.gov and connect.facebook.net. The latter of these is the source of the well-known Facebook 'like' button which is on SSL Sites all over the world, MITM that connection and you have injection opportunities almost everywhere… just one example.
Ok so that's point two sorted, lets backtrack and check out point one again, thanks to the wonderful research done at INRIA, Microsoft Research and IMDEA we know that there is a bug in several modern TLS clients, namely OpenSSL and SecureTransport (Apple)[4]. This bug allows the client to accept a response containing an RSA-Export key, regardless of the RSA grade initially requested. So presuming you can sit between a vulnerable client and a server that will serve an Export-grade cipher, this can be used to effectively downgrade an SSL communication to its lowest level.
The Attack
Suppose you're in the position to perform a MITM attack, you've got a vulnerable client and a server that will support RSA-Export, what is the workflow here, how does the attack work?
Well here's how Matthew Green describes it, in excellent terms:
- In the client's Hello message, it asks for a standard 'RSA' ciphersuite.
- The MITM attacker changes this message to ask for 'export RSA'.
- The server responds with a 512-bit export RSA key, signed with its long-term key.
- The client accepts this weak key due to the OpenSSL/SecureTransport bug.
- The attacker factors the RSA modulus to recover the corresponding RSA decryption key.
- When the client encrypts the 'pre-master secret' to the server, the attacker can now decrypt it to recover the TLS 'master secret'.
- From here on out, the attacker sees plaintext and can inject anything it wants.
Hey it's not all bad, at least the attacker is going to have to factor the RSA key for every connection which is going to make this one heck of a tedious attack to perform…..
Generating an RSA key is a fairly complex process, uses a notable amount of system resources while it's being done, so what do the majority of web servers do to counter this problem? Well they just generate one, and re-use it. See the problem?
Break it once and you're golden until the server goes down and a new key is generated.
Ok… Now what?
OpenSSL has very quietly released a patch in the latest version that corrects this. Apple is 'working on it' and the big CDNs such as Akamai are rolling out patches to remove the Export grade ciphers. Facebooks are gone, who knows what the NSA and FBI are doing.
The conclusions for this are fairly straightforward, upgrade your clients where possible, patch your servers, and purge RSA-Export from the internet.
And you Mr G-Man lurking in the corner, learn from your mistakes, stop trying to build backdoors into encryption before it bites you (and us) in the ass……again.
