Experimental external filters for plugin content (e.g. Blitzableiter to sanitize Flash applets). It requires Firefox 3.5 and above, and it can be configured from the new NoScript Options|Advanced|External Filters panel. To activate the built-in Blitzableiter support you need to enable filters, download Blitzableiter binaries and tell NoScript where the executable is. Please notice that Blitzableiter is in its early development stages, and it breaks a lot of Flash content.
I got no idea how it works yet, gotta read the project pages. Basically for it to work it must be enabled in NS while you point to filter executable. From people working themselves on the project, it’s really experimental ;D >>> at your own risk
The Blitzableiter is a defensive solution for Adobe Flash Rich Internet Applications. It realizes the protection by applying a process of normalization through recreation.
Blitzableiter protects against attacks using Adobe Flash application files in SWF format. It can prevent attacks targeted at exploiting memory corruption vulnerabilities in the runtime environment as well as attacks using the runtime environment’s native functionality maliciously.
Section 2 will give an overview of the general approach and the Flash file format. Section 3 provides information about the code structure and organization. Section 4 gives advise on how to test and debug the library.
so far running as expected (according to what they say on NS and Blitzableiter sites), it breaks many videos…(when allowed to run). So I’ve switched it off, until the filter gets improved…
No problem with it in my flock browser. I have NS 19.9.9.71 together with RP 0.5.13, Distrust 0.8.1, Fiddler 1.5 and ABP+ with various blocklists and WOT 20091028. No problem whatsoever with this combination,
OK, I found it at the Home Page and looking at the changelog (see image) there doesn’t appear to be that much in it to cause any crashes, but who knows.
So I will download and install it ans see what happens.
No problem here. What version of Firefox are you using? Can you provide steps to reproduce and a link to the crash report? If so, it’s probably be more effective to post them in NoScript Support so Giorgio can take a look.
no issue here with LastPass, updated to 1.68 two days ago I think.
edit: okay I see you’re running NS 1.9.9.72 and not 71…
edit: just upgraded to the web site version (1.9.9.72), it works fine, no crash
Why such a tight release schedule? Version 1.9.9.72 fixes a nasty configuration import/export/synchronization bug introduced by "preset configurations" for Firefox Mobile, which may lead to a configuration reset on import or synchronization.
Many thanks for your patience.
