So, how do you signup? Easy simply link to whatsthetide.com from your website, and send me the link.
And I’ll generate you a juicy serial! :)
Oh… and prizes for who can crack my serial algorithm! (Probably best not to bother with this one!)
After doing a lot of mapping, say 500 points on my GPS, I needed a way to get them of my GPS. Doing it by hand, are you crazy or just really, really technophobic? So after purchasing a cable off eBay for a few bucks, and not sure if Garmin’s software required a license, I downloaded the free software EasyGPS. Great! I thought, until I noticed that it only exported to GPX format, and I could only use copy and paste internally in the application. Well thank god, they aren’t Microsoft[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and used XML [properly]. So I built a GPX2KML Converter. Questions, comments, suggestions are welcome. Leave them in the comments.
A few friends and I are planning to organise an IT Security event, if you live in Australia, shoot me an email, and we’ll get talking.
Have a look that this source code:
// Lowercase via is used by open proxies/referrer spammers
// Exceptions: Clearswift uses lowercase via (refuses to fix;
// may be blocked again in the future)
if (array_key_exists(’via’, $package['headers']) &&
!strstr($package['headers']['via'],’Clearswift Web Policy Engine’)) {
return “9c9e4979″;
}
Hm….
4.2 Message Headers HTTP header fields, which include general-header (section 4.5), request-header (section 5.3), response-header (section 6.2), and entity-header (section 7.1) fields, follow the same generic format as that given in Section 3.1 of RFC 822 [9]. Each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (”:”) and the field value. Field names are case-insensitive.
Well, it seems that: Clearswift, Coral CDN, etc are getting blocked because of this…
If you use Bad Behavior let me know you experiences with it, and if this is affecting you, you might want to contact them.

Yesterday I made a nother presentation at the Sydney PHP Group February Meeting.
This time we did not get access to our room, hence my slides were useless, and a roll play was under taken insted of a diagram! No slides, nothing, all off my head.
For those who are interested my slides are in S5 format (xHTML + CSS + JScript).

*.bz2 use bunzip2 -d -v
*.gz use gunzip -d -v
*.arj use unarj
*.lha use lha x
*.ace use unace
*.rar use rar x (Note: on on some systems “unrar”, others “unrar x”)
*.cab use cabextract (Note: Some .cab files need unshield (apt-get install unshield))
*.Z use uncompress

Ok, you’re on some channel on an IRC network… yada yada… so loser wants to hack you…
>Yeah, my IP is 127.0.0.1 go hack it…
Looks like they tried to…
There is your laugh for today…
I would of thought DShield would of filtered out bogus firewall logs…
Hm.. NULL even tried some hacking…
I wonder if 255.255.255.255 did?
Today I needed to use curl, but this time via a http proxy that required authentication:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, ‘proxy.mybusiness.null:8080′);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, ‘user:password’);
Easy, huh? Just add those three lines before you call curl_exec().
Steven.
