Bookmarks for September 5th through September 9th

  • The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte - FLOSS Weekly - Podcast by Leo Laporte where he and his partner interview open source authors and companies. I've found this podcast extremely informative.
  • Suspekt… » Blog Archive » MySQL and SQL Column Truncation Vulnerabilities - "While SQL-Injection is one of the most discussed security problems in web applications other possible problems for SQL queries like overlong input are usually ignored although they can lead to all kinds of security problems."
  • Yammer Launches at TC50: Twitter For Companies - Announced at TechCrunch 5.0, we now have Twitter for Companies in a product called Yammer, which limits all visibility to your email domain.
  • Access GitHub repositories from work (take that, firewall!) - Using GitHub almost requires the use of ssh to access repositories securely. It is absolutely required to update repositories. Unfortunately, that can run afoul of the “IT overlords” in many corporate environments. At my workplace, a Microsoft ISA authenticating web proxy server is in place, restricting most outbound traffic. Specifically, port 22, the ssh port, is not allowed and that means I can’t pull or push to my repositories on GitHub.

Bookmarks for September 3rd

  • Shalla Secure Services - "Shalla's Blacklists is a collection of URL lists grouped into several categories intended for the usage with URL filters like SquidGuard or Dansguardian. But the usage is not limited to this. Some people use the lists to include them (that is parts of them) into their Squid installation without using a redirector or other webfilters or use them for their IPCop installation. "
  • Squid whitelist and blacklist (controlled kid browsing) | Screaming Penguin - "A simple tutorial or explanation of setting up Squid so that multiple users are present via an auth mechanism, and some are limited to a whitelist (kids), and others have either all access (or optionally whatever limited access you want, different whitelist, blacklist, etc). "
  • SCons: A software construction tool - "SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software. "
