WAMP5 and EasyPHP, both great local web server options (Download Squad)

Jun 17th 2007 10:37AM I'm a big fan of apache2triad - http://apache2triad.net/

It includes the usual Apache2, PHP, mySQL along with phpMyAdmin, python, perl, PostgreSQL, XMail, SlimFTPd and alot of others.

Its not portable but for a one-time easy install you should give it a look :)

Reddit and Pligg vulnerabilities discovered (Download Squad)

May 28th 2007 6:05AM Many people don't realise just how serious an XSS vulnerability can be. Alot of times the view is "well its only Javascript!?"

In attempt to show just what could be done if a malicious user managed to inject Javascript into a page I wrote a post detailing some of the attacks which could be performed. You can read the full post and see the code examples at: http://foobr.co.uk/2007/05/javascript_is_for_hackers/

May 23rd 2007 9:04AM @phizm: From the site, "The internal code uses random Adsense Publisher IDs - therefore the Adwords advertisers will be not be charged for the ad impressions or clicks generated through this tool."

Name that top-level! Domains and their prices (Download Squad)

Mar 21st 2007 7:10PM I tried leaving a comment on that blog a week ago pointing out that thailand does not use dollars they use baht so its actually approx $73
(their website lists the price at: 2,505 Baht/domain/2yrs)

"2505 Thai baht = 72.3152425 U.S. dollars" via google

Virb - MySpace done right, and we have 100 invites to give away! (Download Squad)

Mar 19th 2007 5:33PM Umm am I missing something?

I was under the impression that virb came out of private beta a while ago?

I know Paul Stamatiou announced it was live for anyone to sign-up on March 7th oh and yeah so did Ryan Sims (over on stylegala) on March 8th, and I guess who would kinda know being one of the developer et al ;)

Firefox 2 Easter Egg (Download Squad)

Dec 3rd 2006 11:12AM tut tut tut come on do some research first!
This isnt a firefox 2 Easter Egg, saying as its been about since 2003!!

And the Firefox developers are not having a dig at IE with it, it actually talks about the closure of the Netscape devision at AOL and the creation of the Mozilla foundation. The only link to Firefox is at around the same time they created the Firebird browser (which later became Firefox)

Dont believe me, view the source at http://www.mozilla.org/book/

BlogMailr - email posts to your blog (Download Squad)

Nov 9th 2006 11:42AM Am sure it adds the post to the database in much the same as your blog software does. So would it not be pretty simple to search the post for the offending string and remove it?

This could even be done within the blog post template something along the lines of*

$needle = '/Published with BlogMailr/';
echo preg_replace($needle, "", $post);

*written of top of my head so might not be correct
