For a full report of the meeting, read Xavier’s excellent blogpost. Many SQL-injection techniques rely on tautologies: adding an expression that is always tr […]
Έχω ένα φίλο που δουλεύει για την Google Inc. Την τελευταία φορά που τον είδα (την πρωτοχρονιά), ανέφερε ότι η οικονομική κρίση τελείωσε και ότι η Google κάνει μαζικές προσλήψεις. Ανέφερε ακόμη ότι είναι σημαντικό να σε προτείνει κάποιος που ήδη δουλεύει για την Google, και ότι αν σε προσλάβουν παίρνει referral bonus περί τα 4000 αμερικάνικα δολάρια. Οπότε, […]

Shared by Matt Simmons Interesting. I don't live in a niche world where my choice of filesystem makes all that much difference, so I go for ext3. If I had gigantic volumes, I'd probably use XFS. But some people care about this stuff, so it must be important. Kind of like microseconds in ntp Recently, Google announced it would move from ext3 to ext4 […]

Patch management is part of package management There's two approaches to distributing updates; you can distribute entire new versions of packages, or you can use some sort of 'patches'. For essentially historical reasons, commercial Unix vendors generally use the latter approach. Here is something important about this: if you have patches, pat […]
