An unserialize attack would require intimate knowledge of the operating codebase, as well as an encoded object (only objects can be exploited this way) that could be configured to execute an attack via its constructor or __set_state() metho

This drives me crazy: we have a billion-dollar business as a client who self-hosts their website, and it's running on PHP 5.3.3 on a way outdated version of CentOS. It's not as if they can't afford to upgrade, it's that

I noticed a typo you might want to correct: a cannon is quite different from a canon. One is a weapon, the other is not.

Nothing actually, they're working correctly. The people on the other hand... that's the questionable part. ;)

I would've learned iOS programming earlier if not for Objective-C. I've programmed in a large variety of languages, but of them all I find Objective-C to be the least comprehensible. The only thing stopping me these days is findin

I believe that would reduce the total number of word combinations. Building a string from a dictionary is easy, and by inferring the scheme from the service category and provider you automatically give 2 of N words to the attacker.

It would be a horrible thing. If I am designing a website to be used by an end-user I absolutely want to test like a user. It's the exact reason I use the IE virtual machine images from Modern.ie — IE emulation doesn't really work

This. Absolutely this. I used to hate tabs and want 2 spaces only, until I started working with other developers. Then suddenly tabs made sense, especially when you've got IDEs coercing every edited file to a person's indentation

I'd like to see more substantiation than the guy's own site. The PCG "family" is omitted from every graph that I saw. Also, from my own testing, Mersenne Twister appears to have enough randomness for non-cryptographic pu

My parents bought me the books from Getty and Dubay when I was a kid to improve my handwriting. I had a terrible time with legibility in 1st and 2nd grade, and they were adamant I improve. I haven't kept up with it as I should have, an

I'm getting suspicious of WiFi's actual safety, potential EMF sensitivity and all that. The same wavelength at higher powers cooks food and has never actually been proven safe at lower levels. Even though it's non-ionizing ra

I'll third the desire. We've been turning the WiFi off at night, and virtually every AP we've had has had issues. So I'd much rather use ethernet for something as critical as security, due to past WiFi issues.

I disagree with his opinion on open_basedir. When configured correctly your application never experiences a problem, and can only write to paths it is directly allowed to. This prevents a security breach from accessing the system's con

This should be titled "how to find a memory leak". It's a very basic article on memory management and how to find a memory leak.

The PHP working group decided that they didn't want the baggage belonging to the previous attempt to color PHPNG. There's still a lot of articles about the "PHP 6" that never came to be. So they've decided to skip v

I'm starting to like where PHP 7 is going. It'll take ages for this to hit a majority of servers, and for that I'll be sorry, but I'm looking forward to seeing what takes shape.

MySQL is deprecated and outright removed in PHP 5.5, so MySQLi is your fallback option instead. However, PDO is the best choice.

I just ran the tests in FF 30, latest stable release, and by-and-large Fast.js is faster than both lodash and native in FF 30. Are you testing a nightly build?

I saw something like this not too long ago. Quite a lot of potential applications for it, and not many of them good.

What worries me more is what kind of corporate espionage these satellite images will be put to use for. They've been able to see the car(s) in a driveway for awhile now. But imagine: now they can pay to see what the most popular cars a

I don't like this. You can already see a lot of detail on these satellite photos. This is a huge breach of privacy. (Not that a 50cm lower limit isn't a breach of privacy.)

Okay, imagine that to put your computer into hibernation mode all you need to do is hit the power button. This is instantaneous because none of the data has to be synced to permanent memory, because it's already in permanent, non-vola
