  • DISABLING BASH_HISTORY AND/OR LOGGING ALL USER’S CMDS – ancora su audit bash:<br />
    Once you have logged out of your shell by default bash will store the last 500 previous cmds (commands), and/or 500 lines, you executed to your .bash_history file for easy recall on future sessions (Ctrl+R or ! or !!). Even passwords that were entered as plain text, such as: mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'I've listed a number of different methods to disable it, limit it, or stop users from altering their own .bash_history for auditing needs.

  • How to: Ubuntu PHP Remove Suhosin – […] One of my projects for the "holidays" is moving one of my servers from Gentoo to Ubuntu. During planning for this, I noticed that the Ubuntu version of PHP5 includes Suhosin. That's a problem.<br />
    The problem with Suhosin is that it's designed to stop sloppy applications from doing bad things. I'm sure it does a reasonable job of that, but in the process it can interfere with good applications (see examples for Joomla). Since I'm in the business of writing good applications, Suhosin is a bad idea. Worse yet, it can provide a false sense of security, since it can't deal with anything except typical PHP errors. As far as I'm concerned, this class of "security blanket" provides false comfort and is no replacement for auditing and testing.<br />

  • FYI :: Operating Systems Release History :: Software Development … – Last updated: June 21, 2005<br />
    <br />
    The release history (below) includes the published dates (E&OE) when the vendor will withdraw product availability and support for various released versions of their respective operating systems. Knowing these dates in advance helps customers (e.g., system administrators) to plan and make informed IT decisions (such as operating system upgrades, software and hardware purchases, etc.).<br />
    <br />
    Similarly, application developers can respond proactively through adaptive maintenace, or at least be aware of (and thus, anticipate) inquiries about migration (e.g., environment differences), compatibility (e.g., APIs), and porting (e.g., 32-bit to 64-bit).<br />
    <br />
    Disclaimer: Please check with the vendor's web site for updates and program details (e.g., support options, service level, geographical differences, etc.).<br />

  • newswall is a tool to display feeds and e-mails. – Just like on a "news wall" all messages – sorted by date and time – show up in small blocks, if possible together with an image. That way it is easy to find the most important and interesting news and then have a closer look at these. So it is sort of a feed reader mixed with an e-mail viewer having the look of an image gallery. Or so… Might also be a good choice for the iPad – and other tablets, too 😉 […]<br />
