Demonstrated SQL injection to a colleague on the live website. Bringing a sample URL up into the address bar, I explain, "You see, that ASP script takes the value of ?urlparameter and updates the record - but what if I modify urlparame

Clearly King.com don't end up looking like the good guys here - although as the article does freely admit, "Scamperghost isn't the most original game in the world. It's obviously inspired by Pac-Man" ... Which rath

Can't trust a word of this unless we can be sure that the reviewer is using proper Audiophile-grade Ethernet switches. I hope they review some of those soon. :) Actually, surely the presence of two switches in the network has already f

INT(RND(1)+15) will always return 15 and nothing else, since the expected output would be a rounded-down integer value of (a random number between 0 and 0.99999999etc999, plus 15). INT(RND(1) * 15), in contrast will produce a random whole

I wasn't a reader of your blog previously, but from the sidebar I take it to be about optimising your activities and effort - work smarter, not harder, that kind of thing. So really I'm guessing that an audience seeking those kind

There is no such thing as "Cameron's filter" though. David Cameron is a politician whose party has a "think of the children" policy and has pledged to "get tough" and "crack down" on the availabi

There's no evidence (yet) of there being ANY Government list of sites which must be blocked. All ISPs are going their own way and basically letting the decisions be made by whatever technology partner they have engaged to back-end the

As a user of Digital Ocean (amongst others) I find it hard to get too excited about this. When I destroy a droplet (VM) I already have the option to scrub the discs before deletion. If I choose not to use that (and I never have on any of th

Ridiculous article. Firstly there is no single "UK Porn Filter". Each ISP does their own thing in their own way. Secondly, the writer of this article is apparently surprised that none of the sites they're checking are on a WH

As I understand it, currently it's only the major UK ISPs offering this filtering, and they're doing so only as a result of political pressure rather than primary legislation. The big guys like BT, Sky, Virgin, etc, are just too s

Small point. The devices called out by the authors are not routers, they are MODEMS which are only installed on Fibre To The Cabinet installations. (These modems are then connected, usually, to an ISP-supplied router such as the BT Home Hub
