Web Application Security – LugRadio Live 2009 | 0 Comments

Posted in security, Slides on 1st November 2009, 11:04 am by

These are my slides from the presentation I gave at LugRadio Live 2009 at Wolverhampton. The presentation was a brief tour of some common security issues you might come across developing web applications. I also covered ReDOS which is a lot less well known but an interesting vulnerability.

The notes are available on slideshare.net

I’ve had to pull the presentation from slideshare.net temporarily – I’ll re-upload as soon as possible The problem at slideshare has now been resolved.

GNU screen: open tab in current working directory|(1)

A nice trick for having screen open a new tab in the same directory as the one you’re currently in. To use it add it to your .screenrc

# Open new window in current dir.
bind c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
bind ^c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"

Ubuntu: add-apt-repository: command not found|(3)

When you’re using a minimal Ubuntu install if you find the ‘add-apt-repository’ command is missing (it’s useful for adding PPAs and other repositories), then simply run:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
