I do some of my internet banking through BNP Paribas. Today I was greeted with this message:
The flash notice isn’t such a big security risk on its own but from a banking site I’d expect they would be more careful by – informing users that a (useless) banner requires Flash on your computer (Flash being a popular attack vector is good for gaming sites, from a banking site I’d expect something else) – informing users upfront … Read more.
The iPhone is such a nice piece of gadgetry but it would not be nothing without the numerous apps. I’ve been using an iPhone (iOS 3, 4 and 5) for more that a year and a half and these are the apps (*) I can’t live without.(*) only apps that are not part of the default install.
Evernote makes it easy to remember things big and small from your everyday life using your computer, … Read more.
I recreated my site recently and moved the custom PHP and WordPress code to a central WordPress code base. I had to recreate some files in the template to get the site to behave the way I wanted it. This is the list of changed files in a WordPress template.

If you are behind a router or gateway and you need to get your public IP then you can use dyndns.org with this wget line:
I sometimes have to parse log files for different IP addresses and then group them by network owner. This becomes tedious If the number of IP addresses is rather long. The script below can help with automating this manual task.

A couple of days back I received an e-mail from Deutsche Bank. I’m not a customer from DB. About a year ago I applied for some information and I guess my email addresses ended up in their mailinglist.
The mailing warns customers that there is a phishing attack ongoing. According to the mail, once infected, a virus on your computer lures you to a fake page where you are asked to enter your details.

There is a good writeup on XSS on Security Override.
I was recently in need for a parser that would convert Nmap XML output to a HTML file. As far as I could see there was no tool available so I wrote my own. Feel free to use or adjust it.
