Portal Down Occasionally
On March 08, 2011, a security breach was discovered on the TAPoR portal. The TAPoR portal was recently moved from the University of McMaster to a dedicated node on the WestGrid High Performance Computing Cluster at the University of Alberta. The system is running the release 5.5 of CentOS operating system. On the TAPoR machine firewalls had been configured to address security concerns but SSH login from remote machines had been enabled to obtain service from external developers during the migration of the portal from McMaster to Alberta. This option was misused by two hackers on March 02 (one from Missouri, US and the other from Italy) who managed to get into the TAPoR server and started brute-force attacks from there on to other servers around the world. As soon as we identified the breach, we addressed it by reinstalling a clean version of the operating system and all other legitimate software, followed by implementing a more tightened security policy. The current policy allows only SSH-key based authentication and permits ssh access to the TAPoR server only from machines that are in the university network. The system is now running smoothly and no user data had been affected by the problem.

LexEDO

(french)

LexEDO est une plateforme de diffusion d'information juridique développée par LexUM. LexEDO a été conçu pour répondre aux besoins de la diffusion du droit des etats émergents en permettant a des intervenants locaux de prendre en charge de façon autonome la publication de leurs documents juridiques. La plateforme est conçue de maniere a assurer l'intgration par syndication des sites web locaux dans des ressources globales de diffusion libre du droit. Cette façon de faire renforce la visibilité et la viabilité de la diffusion du droit. LexEDO a notamment servi de fondement au projet JuriBurkina, un site web diffusant gratuitement sur Internet la jurisprudence des institutions judiciaires du Burkina Faso, et prochainement au projet JuriSenegal. Les infrastructures obtenues grace au consortium TAPoR ont contribué a l'amélioration et au perfectionnement de LexEDO.

(english)

LexEDO is a platform for free access to law developed by LexUM. LexUM has conceived this software package to develop websites able to offer free access to developing countries legal information and documents by publishing legal documentation in a decentralized and independent way. LexEDO is able to integrate by syndication local websites and organize them as free global law dissemination resources. This platform also contributes to the visibility and viability of law dissemination. This software was used in the Juriburkina project, a website offering free access to jurisprudence from Burkina Faso. LexEDO will also be used on a similar project in Senegal: JuriSenegal. The infrastructures provided by the TAPoR consortium to LexUM contributed in the amelioration of this software package.
