19:07:38 <kibble> Google Chrome is reporting that portableapps.com is hosting malware.
19:08:04 <kibble> I get the "Malware Detected! Warning: Something's Not Right Here!" screen when I try to visit.
19:08:35 <kibble> Google's Safe Browsing Report says there aren't any errors (<http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fportableapps.com%2F&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US>), but you're still not going to get many people to visit the site if Google is throwing up that wall.
19:09:30 <kibble> You get a similar error message when you try to visit the site through Google Search: <https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=portableapps&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fportableapps.com%2F&ei=wzAsT5zlDMHeggebjdnSDw&usg=AFQjCNGe6PGbuO5doILWyNsMtO6XJBzDIQ>

19:15:04 <ZachThibeau> stop randomly pinging people, as noted in the topic the issue should be resolved, the issue is not with site directly, someone must of reported it as an attack site as some sort of sick twisted plot of removing us out of the game or something, but we never host malware

19:17:07 <kibble> Where does it say in there anything about this error?
19:17:27 <ZachThibeau> does not mean you can go pinging people at random

19:18:38 <ZachThibeau> read the channel rules
19:19:48 <kibble> But anyway, I suggest you add that to the topic. If a site is down or reporting malware, a sysadmin is going to want to get that fixed as quick as possible... I work with Wikipedia a lot, so I know how that works on a big scale.
19:20:36 <ZachThibeau> the issue is already known and is being dealt with, as noted in the url you gave John T Haller our project leader already knows

19:45:58 <kAlug> Gizmokid2005: I don't think many people read the topic. We need it to show in a timed popup like when extensions are installed in Firefox.
19:46:13 <Gizmokid2005> kAlug: and how do you propose that's done?
19:46:14 <Gizmokid2005> :P
19:46:20 <Gizmokid2005> there's nothing you can do from an IRC standpoint for that.
19:46:49 <kAlug> We could modify the webchat...
19:47:02 <Gizmokid2005> no
19:47:03 <Gizmokid2005> you can't.
19:47:16 <Gizmokid2005> the webchat is freenode's applet
19:47:20 <Gizmokid2005> not one PA made.
19:47:23 <kAlug> I though it was FOSS...
19:48:52 <Gizmokid2005> it is GPL v2, but that would require someone to modify the code and then host it themselves rather than using the freenode applet
19:48:58 <Gizmokid2005> which would require John to do all that work
19:49:00 <Gizmokid2005> which won't happen.
19:49:23 <kAlug> Where "all the work" = ?
19:49:54 <Gizmokid2005> means downloading the source, writing in the popup, then compiling/uploading the source again, hosting it somewhere and then replacing the applet
19:50:00 <Gizmokid2005> which requires generating new applet code, etc.
19:50:27 <Gizmokid2005> right now John just uses pre-generated code from Freenode using specific parameters that freenode has already designed to be used in this manner.

19:52:05 <kAlug> I think we could just change the JS. Or maybe... just put a big warning in the support page.
19:52:31 <Gizmokid2005> You can't just change the js kAlug. The js isn't hosted here...it's freenode's applet.
19:52:43 <Gizmokid2005> also, modifying the support page would require john...
19:53:20 <kAlug> I saw the webpage. It's a Java? backend with a JS frontend.
19:53:54 <Gizmokid2005> kAlug:
19:53:55 <Gizmokid2005> <iframe src="http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=pa_....&channels=portableapps&prompt=1"; width="100%" height="552" scrolling="no" style="border:1px solid black;">Sorry, your browser doesn't seem to support internal frames, or else it's just taking a while to load this.

19:54:04 <Gizmokid2005> it's not our applet, there's no way to modify it.
19:54:09 <Gizmokid2005> it's an iframe using Freenode modules.

19:55:17 <kAlug> pa_8160: Can we help you?
19:55:31 <pa_8160> Why is my Norton AV saying Blackhole toolkit webwite12 when I visit this site
19:55:39 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8160: it's a false positive.
19:55:46 <pa_8160> is this site safe now or infected
19:55:51 <Gizmokid2005> It's because Google erroneously marked our website as bad.
19:55:58 <Gizmokid2005> but even the infection analysis marks it as clean.
19:56:02 <Gizmokid2005> It's clean, and always has been.
19:56:13 <pa_8160> That is what I thought
19:56:19 <pa_8160> i have used it before
19:56:43 <Gizmokid2005> pa_8160: yep. Unfortunately we can't force everybody to remove the FP immediately, but it is safe.
19:57:11 <pa_8160> ok Gizmok, thanks
19:57:28 <pa_8160> so i can safely download then, right
19:57:35 <Gizmokid2005> correct.

21:19:41 <AlleyKat> I just pulled the drive... all good, doesn't seem like spyware
21:19:56 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, unlikely that it is
21:20:04 <Gizmokid2005> not sure if the platform loads it into temp, but it might

21:20:59 <Gizmokid2005> 3 days?

23:30:11 <vf2nsr> although looks like FF still has not cleared it :(
23:30:23 <JohnTHaller> It can take a full day for them to review it
23:30:26 <vf2nsr> yup was about to say that
23:30:37 <vf2nsr> dang them
23:31:00 <vf2nsr> Lioke anybody else they fast to kill ya but slow to admit error
23:31:20 <JohnTHaller> The site is clean, served no infected files. There was a JavaScript injection for a few hours today. Automated attack, so not an actual site hack. Due to a Drupal vulnerability. It looks like it didn't actually work properly either.
23:32:06 <JohnTHaller> Drupal has been fully patched. Just to be on the safe side, I changed all access, FTP, SSH, MySQL and web admin passwords.
23:32:30 <vf2nsr> yup read that you posted I never doubted PA being clean
23:32:58 <JohnTHaller> I'm gonna write up a full report on it for everyone once the warning page is gone. Probably sometime this weekend.
23:33:03 <vf2nsr> I have only ever had one issue and that is with my AV and one program
23:33:28 <vf2nsr> My AV does not like DShutwown at all lol
23:33:48 <JohnTHaller> Yeah, several AVs don't like it due to the APIs it calls within Windows
23:34:12 <vf2nsr> Yup I can not even get it to download lol no need anyway since do not use it
23:35:21 <vf2nsr> I had transferred my PA from stick to a 160gb sirve and when the app store came up decided to install all official apps on it, anyway that was only one that hiccuped me
23:45:05 <Gizmokid2005> JohnTHaller: you should really push for them...
23:45:10 <Gizmokid2005> The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-02-03, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.
