This morning I’ve received the following spam mail:

Hi,
I am basically interested for business reasons. I had written to you about
the offer a few days back. Perhaps you never got the mail in the first
place. Anyhow, here is the deal. I found your site
http://www.disenchant.ch/ really enchanting and would like to buy a
number of text-links on your [...]

As you might know, today Google released it’s own web browser called Chrome. I just had to have a look at it and have to say, it’s really not that bad but I just wanted to know if I’m able to crash it
Here’s my result after a few minutes:

If you talk to security people all over the world, you’ll notice, that stuff like XSS or SQL Injections aren’t of that much interest anymore because everyone knows what the problems are and how to prevent it, even if I’m not sure that they really know enough on it. Anyway, I was thinking of how [...]

It’s now about two months ago since I wrote my last blog posting but this was just because I had summer holidays (the only good thing about being a student). I was on different openairs in Switzerland and also went to visit Bulgaria with some friends, which was very nice.

On the 26. March this year, I gave a quiet special guest lecture. I was teaching students at the Bern University of Applied Sciences Engineering and Information Technology which are all studying the same as me (computer science) but they are nearly finished with their studies. This means I was once more the young and [...]

A few days ago I was cleaning the screen of my notebook, which’s a Lenovo X61 Tablet. I’m using it everyday and especially for my studies I’m working in tablet-mode, which means that I have to clean up the screen about every two weeks. During cleaning I recognized, that there are many fingerprints of mine [...]

About one year ago, I’ve created a bundle which contained several different extensions for Firefox related to web application security testing. Today I’d like to release version 3.0 of the Firefox Security Tool Kit or short FSTK, which will make your browser a (nearly) full-fledged webappsec pentesting tool.
Download and/or Install the FSTK v3.0 now
By installing [...]

A working colleague of mine showed me a tool, which I think is really cool for automating tasks during web application security test, even if it’s not made especially for that. The tool I’m talking about is called Selenium Remote Control and licensed under the Apache 2.0 License. Let’s have a look at the description [...]
