Okay, I was just reading through the landing page. Here are my thoughts: * I'm not sure that 'self hosted' needs to be mentioned in the heading. You don't mention cloud or SaaS anywhere and have a big 'download'

Interesting question: Looking at Issac Amimov's laws, I believe that the 0th law would cause the child to die because that outcome reasonably reduces the number of humans potentially harmed in the situation (as driving into the wall ma

The US got off easy. Australia has been expertly spending extraordinary amounts of money on IT projects for years. For example, Melbourne's public transport ticket system cost US$1.3 Billion. And that's just for one city.

Is it possible to pivot into another market sector. For example, holiday home rentals? bed & breakfast? car rentals? I think there is a lot of potential in the car rental market... e.g. allow private vehicle owners to rent out their veh

I completely agree. This tool is useless to me in Australia, unless I convert all the units. Even within the same measurement system different countries express units in different ways (e.g. Imperial Gallon vs US Gallon; and MPG, L/100

What problem does Helium solve, when Wi-Fi, BT and Cellular works for most people? Most wireless access methods are inefficient and consume large amounts of battery because they try to cram dozens or thousands of devices into extremely limi

I wish OWASP was as strong as it was 4-5 years ago. The OWASP Testing Guide v4.0 has been in draft seemingly forever, plus there is little content created on Mobile development. Recent news out of OWASP is the new Development Guide (good wo

From a coding perspective. I find that using 'Annotations' for security works really well in SPA and is extremely simple. It means that every RPC from the client has authorised checks. I also assume that every unauthenticated requ

This is ironic, as Gmail has never supported email encrypted (or even signed) using S/MIME and digital certificates.

OWASP is fantastic organisation of Web Application Professionals. Some of their early work was the publication of the OWASP Top Ten, which went a long way to highlighting the importance web application security to organisations. But they ha

It's insecure by the language design, not from the framework itself. When I pen test PHP custom-built sites, I almost always find a dozen high-severity security defects. Many of the popular PHP-MySql tutorials on the web have sql injec

In terms of Performance Testing, most of the tools out there are either expensive or awful. However a couple of weeks ago, HP released a community edition of its flagship LoadRunner 12. It's basically the full LoadRunner product for up

My closest toilet is in Japan (I'm in Australia) I would have thought that being a two sided market, any available public information would have been already entered, rather than relying on others to submit toilets. For example, enteri

The only thing that infringes copyright are the images and music... And those can be sourced very easily. So if he removes those, he should be fine. Those images could easily be replaced with placeholders too.

+1 In Australia, my DOCSIS 3.0 is 90Mbps down and 1.8Mbps up. And the government has announced they will rip up the cable and give everyone 25-50Mbps down and 4-5Mbps up. Everybody here thinks it's a joke, unfortunately it's not.
