Hacker News Reader

I may be weird, but I'd much rather use trello + properly sorted email than basecamp.

Man, the feature that I've wanted for a LONG time is in this rev of GitLab. Groups / Namespaces and permissions based on those groups.

daniellockardon PostgreSQL 9.2 released

Oh so like Mysql "\G" command.

daniellockardon So I Made A Mashup, And Then…

I don't know what it is but the font on this site looks really bad in my browser.

daniellockardon </CaptureTheFlag>

I was very happy when I finally completed it :) Excited to get my shirt.

daniellockardon HAProxy 1.5 supports SSL offloading and downstream encryption

Because Windows XP doesn't support SNI, so not many people use it. That's my theory.

daniellockardon Parallels Desktop 8 vs. VMware Fusion 5: Benchmark Showdown

HyperV doesn't really count here...

daniellockardon A TCP Port Scanner in Bash

This requires your bash have networking support compiled in (some distros don't, or didn't in the past), I'm not sure why you wouldn't use nmap, or even netcat: `nc -z $my_host_to_scan 1-1023`

daniellockardon '; CREATE TABLE `Capture the Flag`;' -- Stripe's Web Security CTF is Live

Woo, Finally got level 8

daniellockardon '; CREATE TABLE `Capture the Flag`;' -- Stripe's Web Security CTF is Live

On level 7 now. Man this is fun.

daniellockardon '; CREATE TABLE `Capture the Flag`;' -- Stripe's Web Security CTF is Live

Gah, I'm stuck on level 4. I've never really dealt with security in ruby / sinatra / sequel applications.

daniellockardon JRE & JDK now available to OS X developers

Worked just fine clicking the link to the DMG.

daniellockardon Ask HN: Building a large webapp today - what language for the backend, and why?

Rails is nice, but it's really really slow. At my job we use Jetty as the server with Play or Lift as the framework -- I think most of the devs like Play better, though. Really easy to run as an unprivileged user and do backends through nginx as well.

daniellockardon YouPorn passwords available for download, thousands of users exposed

it's 123456, and that's pretty common across a lot of sites.

daniellockardon Google is reporting itself as a malware distributor.

Heh, working as intended I suppose.

daniellockardon Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write

Strangely, it doesn't work inside of screen. I'd bet that it's because of the parent ID?

daniellockardon Ask HN: How do Anonymous and Lulz hack so many sites?

From what I know of Anon and Lulzsec a lot of what they do isn't actually 'hacking.' The sheer amount of boxes they have lets them DDOS any site pretty easily. If not DDOS they usually do SQL injections.

daniellockardon Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write

Neat. I updated one of my VMs running debian Sid from 2.6.32 kernel to 3.2.0-1-686-pae just to see if it would work. It works on the 3.2 kernel. Kind of scary. I checked to see if I had access to any 'real world' servers running and exploitable kernel and none of them seemed to.

daniellockardon Ask HN: Which subreddits do you follow?

/r/programming

/r/netsec

/r/gaming

/r/askreddit

/r/starcraft

daniellockardon BASH autocomplete for SSH

You'd be surprised how little some people know about bash ctrl commands.

daniellockardon Facebook launches Actions, driving social into everything

What I do like about this:

* Cool shit like listening to Spotify with someone, and the time syncs up with them (supposedly)

What I dislike:

* Most of the time when I click on a friends linked news article it asks me to read it through the websites Social Reader Facebook App... I'm looking at you Washington Post.

daniellockardon The cleanest vimrc you'll ever see

I have my vimrc on github as well. It gets the job done for me. Keep in mind I'm far more of a sysadmin than a programmer.
