Transmedia et (web)documentaire - PRESSlab Le Transmedia. Un mot, un concept qui fait encore peur, et encore plus dans le domaine du documentaire. Si le transmedia commence timidement à apparaître dans le domaine de la fiction, il est encore rarissime de le voir associé au registre documentaire, et donc, par élargissement, aux webdocumentaires. Car, il nous faut d’abord préciser que les webdocumentaires ne sont pas automatiquement des projets transmedia. La raison: Cela peut d’abord s’expliquer par le modèle économique. Autre aspect pouvant expliquer cette réticence, cette fois plus pragmatique: le webdocumentaire est en soi, une pratique qui demande du temps à scénariser, à développer avant qu’il soit mis en place.

C’est un problème d’un point de vue financier ou d’un point de vue éditorial selon vous ? D’un point de vue financier, il n’y a pas de problème : il y a de l’argent !

Exploiting Unexploitable XSS XSS that are protected by CSRF protection or where other mitigating factors are present are usually considered to be unexploitable or of limited exploitability. This post details real world examples of exploiting “unexploitable” XSS in Google and Twitter. While the XSS detailed in this post are site specific the methods that were used to exploit them could be applied to other websites with similar implementations. Alex’s (kuza55) Exploiting CSRF Protected XSS served as inspiration for this post. Google Google has services deployed across many different domains and subdomains and as a result requires a way to seamlessly authenticate members who are logged in to their Google Account. When called by a member who is logged in to their Google Account the URL generates an auth URL and redirects to the particular service. When the auth URL is loaded the service uses the auth token to log the member in.
