This is particularly bad news when you couple it with the Flash vulnerability that's gonna be open for a few weeks.
You exploit a couple big OpenX installs, put some Flash ads in there and infect a whole lot of users.
On a sidenote, are there any less complex, preferably open-source, alternatives to OpenX?
- robotkad 16y agoAs far as I know, there really isn't much out there when it comes to open-source. There is OASIS (http://oasis.sourceforge.net/ http://oasis.sourceforge.net/), but I don't think it is in active development. Personally, I'll be moving a couple of openx installs to Google DFP (http://www.google.com/dfp/info/sb/index.html http://www.google.com/dfp/info/sb/index.html) in the next few days. I've heard some good things about AdButler (http://www.adbutler.com/ http://www.adbutler.com/) but I have yet to use it myself.
- chopsueyar 16y agoNever heard of Google DFP. I wonder if the data lag is similair to Adwords. The nice thing about OpenX was installing it on your own hardware. Thanks for the links.
- mtsmith85 16y agoWe use DFP at VBM after switching from a hosted OpenX install. DFP suffers from the lag, but in my experience, OpenX also exhibited lag (though not to the same level.) It takes roughly 30 minutes to traffic ads, which is enough time to be a pain in the rear... especially if you mess up the ad code.
- chopsueyar 16y agoGood to know. Thank you.
