This is another resurrect from my old website — again, it seems people are visiting my site looking for this (old) J2ME application. Please be aware that I haven’t updated this application in ages — it was known to run last time I checked, but that was a while back. I suspect as such it’s […]
Since I’m going through the old website and resurrecting pages which seem to be still sought after by visitors to my website (I can tell this based on search engines terms they use and what they search for then on my website), I’ve come across this old one, talking about optimizing the loading speed of […]
This is similar to the previous disk quota exploit I mentioned, except that this time an attacker can exploit the inode quota on the disk. This quota defines how many files user can use/store on a disk/partition. If there is no capping on this value, a user process can occupy all the inodes available on […]
This is again similar to the others above, except that this time an attacker can exploit the disk quota. This quota defines how much space a user can use/store on a disk/partition. If there is no capping on this value, a user process can try to fill up the disk space available in the system, […]
This is somehow similar to the one above, except that this time an attacker can exploit the memory quota. This quota defines how much memory a user process can allocate at a time. If there is no capping on this value, a user process can try to allocate all the memory available in the system […]
One way an attacker might try to crash your machine is to exploit the process quota — more specifically to exploit the fact that a process quota is not set. The process quota defines an upper limit for the number of processes a user can run at any moment in time. If this is not, […]
For the heavy SquirrelMail users, you are without a doubt using your address book a lot! (Unless you have a really good memory and can remember by heart any email address in your address book! Personally I can’t! 🙂 And if you do, you might have contemplated using the Autocomplete Plugin for SquirrelMail, which does […]
For those of you who are using SquirrelMail, you might have noticed that it looks a bit well, let’s just say amateurish 🙂 That doesn’t go to say it isn’t a good package! (I personally love it and I think it does a pretty good job — hence my additions to this software.) However, as […]
This is something that I have discovered recently looking through some (old) code — and it occurred to me that XPath is so powerful and easy to use that quite often programmers might forget the price paid for something this powerful. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying XPath is worthless (on the contrary!), if […]
As some of you know it, there’s been recent discussion about my moving to Silicon Valley. I won’t bore you with the details of what and how and when, but 2 of my colleagues, Rowan Jacobson and Denis Lowe are in the same boat. So being the absolute ejits we are and not having a […]
