GMER Site DDoS-ed

It seems that the site hosting one of the popular rootkit detection programs is under DDoS. (news from AntiRootkit blog). So I’ve uploaded the file to my Google Pages account (good luck DDoS-ing Google, however they may take it down because bandwidth is money). While it is available, get it at: http://hype.free.googlepages.com/gmer.zip File size: 490698…

Mixed links and commentary

The Perl Golf contest has ended and I have to admit I don’t even understand the winning entry so I couldn’t have written it. To my defense: I’ve been only programming in Perl ~6 months, so I can’t expect to be a guru. On the flip side: I can’t even get the winning program to…

On disclosure

Disclosure and responsible disclosure is a very much discussed topics these days as the MOAB (no, not that one – yes it is a cheap shot, but maybe there are people who didn’t read it on ten other blogs :)). Here is one blog entry which says: I completely disagree with the decision for security…

Reinventing the wheel

Those damn kids today don’t know their history and think that .NET is 1337! 😀 Some random dude in Taiwan couldn’t browse the web (because an undersea cable broke due to a recent earthquake) and he decided that using a webserver (probably configured by him) which ran arbitrary executables mailed to it (hint: the from…

Good bye PWDMag, hello .NET

If you are a fan of Paul Boag, you might now that the Practical Webdesign Magazine website closed down (as did the magazine itself) and they moved to become the .NET magazine. Before closing down I took a complete mirror of the site (thanks HTTrack), and asked them if I can put up a mirror.…

Mixed links and commentary

The thing on everybody’s mind is the recent GMail hack. You can read a very good writeup about it on Joe Walker’s Blog. You can avoid it (if you are an application developer) by Not using the JSON format Not using cookies to store session ID, but rather including the session ID in the URL.…

Some links

Jeff Russell’s Starship Dimensions – a must visit for geeks. I wished it had more ships. Via Lifehacker: DivShare – upload and share your files. No bandwidth limit. I fail to see a revenue model so I predict that they’ll disappear relatively fast but until then it is very nice (no ads, no need to…

Including mixed (SSL and non-SSL) content on your secure site

Disclaimer: while I dabble with Apache from time to time, I’m not a professional SysAdmin or Apache guru. The things described below is my own experience, and it should not be considered expert advice, just a staring point. An other way to say it: if you know better, please leave a comment :). AskApache (a…

OpenOffice.org dictionaries

When writing it certainly helps a lot to have spell check in that given language. An important, yet not very widely known, detail of OpenOffice.org is that it has dictionaries for many languages. Compare this with Microsoft Office: if you bought the English version, you probably got only the English spell check module. If you…

Perl and Windows

Perl is a nice scripting language, but originally it wasn’t designed for the Win32 OS. There have been many improvements over time however (the greatest of them all being ActivePerl with PPM, which – as opposed to CPAN – doesn’t require you to have all those command line tools which you have on 99.9* on…
