Network Forensics Contest submission
Some time ago I mentioned the Network Forensics Puzzle. The contest is now over and since I didn’t win, I’ll publish my submission below – it was after all correct, but not quite what the judges were looking for (congratulation to the winner). After validating that the MD5 sum for the downloaded file matches the…

Back with a vengeance
I’ve had limited connectivity / time in the last couple of weeks, but I’m back baby! The lesson of the day: you shouldn’t let your AV vendor provide general security. The lesson comes to us via Graham Cluley’s Sophos blog, which informs us that Sophos released a free encryption tool. So, what’s wrong with it?…

Freakonomics review
I know, I know, I’m quite late to the game (Freakonomics was first published in 2005), but I still feel that this book deserves a review. What I like about it the most, is the fact that it tries to teach critical thinking, a thing which is lacking these days. The book provides vivid and…

Spot the error
C++ compilers are notorious for giving error messages which point you in the wrong direction. However even simpler languages can have issues. Can you spot the real problem with the java code below? There is a comma missing between the parameters! Nice, ey? (To be fair, on the sidebar Eclipse shows two errors, one of…

Perl is everywhere!
Something which is not appreciated enough IMHO is just how much of the interwebs runs on Perl: for example Frozen Bubble is written in Perl. Also, from some error messages I’ve got the impression Yahoo Pipes uses (is written in?) Perl. And just before you accuse me of being a Perl fanboy (which I am…
