Oh please stop it with these ridiculous CAPTCHAs!

Marcin just told me about that stupid CAPTCHA from the rapidshare website. Even if I think this is made explicitly to annoy people (this CAPTCHA is used only for free accounts) this is just stupid.

Can you really tell which letter has cat or not? I'm sorry but I can't!

Such a noisy thing with SWAAT

In one of the last post, I made a comparison between two PHP Source Code Security Analyzers: SWAAT and PHP-SAT. The results was close to say that SWAAT was really better than PHP-SAT.
I started working on the configuration of PHP-SAT and it looks to be quite powerful (well, after talking with Eric Bouwers, I'm waiting for the next release) and I think I will be able to have good results with combining a security oriented configuration and some additional bugpatterns.
On the other hand, SWAAT is really limited for now as example, I've made a simple php script with only SQL queries inside: every lines are highlighted as flawed (and with a MEDIUM level)!! This is simply stupid and they would better don't report anything than doing that... just tell that you don't support SQL Injection for now... Anyway, SWAAT is for me the tool to keep an eye on, I will try to develop some features on it, especially for XSS detection and SQL Injection findings...

wtf! top 10 firefox extensions to avoid

After the 20 must-have Firefox extensions, computerworld came up with the top 10 firefox extensions to avoid. And in the list you can see:

  • NoScript
  • GreaseMonkey


So what the heck? Are they kidding? I can understand for GreaseMonkey because it's mainly for people who need it, but NoScript is a really good extension which has active protection...
