The Register published an interview with a link spammer. You know, one of those annoying people who spams your comments with links to all kinds of porn sites or casino’s. It’s an interesting read for everyone with a weblog.
There is a short list of records that I am still looking for. And every once in a while, I manage to win one on eBay. My latest win this way is the classic record Ramirez – Hablando. A true classic for people who were into the house scene between 1990 and 1995. And since…
Chriss Shiflett writes about a new page that lists a whole lot of examples/test cases of XSS issues. Using these, you could test your site/system for XSS vulnerabilities. A basic knowledge of XSS is expected already, but in his posting, Shiflett also links to some websites about the basics of XSS.

I will probably get scolded at from the real Linux people. But after ages of struggling with my wireless network setup, I’ve finally found a solid, stable way to keep my wireless network running. This solution came in the form of the payware software Linuxant DriverLoader. Now, I know that using their software does not…
Now, Bugtraq contains a lot of people that are not that smart. Just for the record, there are also a lot of people there that *are* really smart though 😉 Anyway, I just got pointed to this vulnerability that was recently posted.
