MalwareSearch 0.9.2 Released

GravityGripp — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:45:02 +0000

After some thought and some reflection, I’ve decided to continue development of Malware Search for Firefox. I’ve made a few changes for 0.9.2, specifically,

Removed Microsoft DLL Center
Replaced SamSpade’s WhoIs with DNSStuff’s – can accept IP’s and hostnames
Added hpHosts

I’ve not yet pushed it to Mozilla, please download and test and let me know if there’s any issues. Grab it here: http://www.urlhadtodie.com/malware-search/

Athena and Malware Search are dead. Long live Athena and Malware Search.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated you guys on things so I figured I’d start update everyone on what’s going on with Athena and Malware Search.

I originally developed these plugins for Firefox because that was my browser of choice at the time. Times change and new programs are developed. I’ve almost exclusively started using Google’s Chrome.

Without getting into the details of why I like Chrome over Firefox, I just wanted to let everyone know that I will no longer be developing any new features in Athena and Malware Search for Firefox.

All future development efforts will be in Chrome.

Athena 0.1.5

GravityGripp — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:50:41 +0000

Because people asked so nicely, I’ve uploaded Athena 0.1.5 which just adds support for Firefox 3.6. It’s on Athena’s page.

Bug in Athena: Importing exported speeches

GravityGripp — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:26:25 +0000

I’ve got a number of people contacting me about issues importing a speech file that has been previously exported via Athena. The error looks like this:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [mozIStorageConnection.executeSimpleSQL]” nsresult: “0×80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)” location: “JS frame :: chrome://athena/content/athena.js :: anonymous :: line 564″ data: no]

The issue comes from the way that Athena handles importing speeches. It looks for a sequence of characters, namely a semi-colon. So if your speech has a semi-colon in it, it will break the import. So, the easiest way around this is to just copy the database itself and place it on the other computer.

The database is named “athena.sqlite” and is located in your Firefox profile folder. If you don’t know where that is, see this link. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Once you have located the database, just copy it and then paste it in the Firefox profile of the other computer. Athena will pick it up and use it.

One other thing to note, Athena 0.2.0 will do exactly this when it is released.

Athena 0.2.0 – Delay

GravityGripp — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:56:25 +0000

So “in a day or so” was a bit of a strech. I’ve ran into a few development issues that’s delayed my progress. Expect Athena next week unless something else comes up. Sorry for the delay, it will be worth it!

Athena 0.2.0 – In a day or so

GravityGripp — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 20:18:38 +0000

I just wanted to give a quick update on Athena development. I’ve re-written a lot of how Athena handles the response tree, it now uses a custom tree view that allows for better manipulation and just generally makes things easier. This will also allow for sub-categories in the next release. I’ve still have a few more functions to rewrite, but this looks like it will be the best version of Athena that I’ve put out.

There have been a feature or two added to this version along with a lot of bug fixes.

Double click to edit
Tree represents changes when modified
Persistent Tree State (meaning, if you expand a tree node, it will remember it)
And I’m sure a lot of little bug fixes

Look for a release in the next couple of days.
