One downside of using SVN is that it creates .svn sub-directories in all the directories that are enlisted in the project. These directories can have information useful to a website hacker (database passwords, for example). So, we need to make sure that people cannot access these sub-directories through HTTP/HTTPS. You could place a .htaccess file in each of the .svn directories, but that is tedious and you have to remember to do it each time you add a new directories. If you have access to your configuration file for your web server, you can make the directories inaccessible there.

But if you don't have access at that level (and many of us don't) the easiest place to make the change is in the .htaccess file at the root of your website.

The following code does just that, assuming you have mod_rewrite in your Apache installation.

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^((.*)/)?\.svn/(.*) http://www.example.com [R,L]

This code checks to see if you have /.svn/ somewhere in the request, and, if it finds it, redirects the request to the root of your website (replace www.example.com with your website root). You could bring up ...

In a domain, the directory resides on computers that are configured as "domain controllers." A domain controller is a server that manages all security-related aspects between user and domain interactions, centralizing security and administration. A Windows Server domain is normally more suitable for moderately larger businesses and/or organizations.

Windows Workgroups, by contrast, is the other model for grouping computers running Windows in a networking environment which ships with Windows. Workgroup computers are considered to be 'standalone' - i.e. there is no formal membership or authentication process formed by the workgroup. A workgroup does not have servers and clients, and as such, it represents the Peer-to-Peer (or Client-to-Client) networking paradigm, rather than the centralised architecture constituted by Server-Client. Workgroups are considered difficult to manage beyond a dozen clients, and lack single sign on, scalability, resilience/disaster recovery functionality, and many security features. Windows Workgroups are more suitable for small or home-office networks.

A domain does not refer to a single location or specific type of network configuration. The computers in a domain can share physical proximity on a small LAN or they can be located in different parts of the world. As long as they can ...

As programmers, we have often been tricked into thinking that we should be writing code all the time and anything less and were not being productive enough. I know I often struggle between writing code which I enjoy, have some skill in, and can easily see my results and doing other important project tasks.

When I was working on Word for Windows 6.0 (and there's a whole 'nother story about why it was numbered 6.0 rather than 3.0, since it followed Word for Windows 2.0 the short quote is 6 is larger than 3) Chris Peters (who has since left Microsoft and brought the PBA back into prominence) at one of our team meetings made it clear to us that, in order to ship Word 6.0 we needed to remember that our job wasnt to write code or test code or any of those things. Our job was to ship Word 6.0. Now often that would mean, as developers, we should write some code (or fix some bugs) but we needed to think each day about what we could do that day to help ship Word 6.0. Some days that would mean not writing new code (and new code is the worst it has to be tested, localized, documented, etc.). Sometimes, the best way to finish the project would be to talk with our program manager and see about cutting a ...

If you also have an <object> element, you can add <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> inside that element.

For wmode to work properly in both IE and FF an attribute should be in both a <param> and the <embed> tag.

For example:

<PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">

<embed wmode="transparent" src="flash/hello.swf">

If, when you startup, everything works just as it does when you are connected, great! You're ready to go. If it doesn't, you'll generally get this error

In this case, this error points correctly to the problem - you need to check your Internet connection, which probably hasn't finished getting connected yet. Once your wireless connection has been made, you can go to https://key.suretech.com and connect to SureFiles using the steps in the Getting Started documentation.

If you have a shortcut to a shared drive and you double click on it before going through the Getting Started steps, you most likely will get the error shown below

This just means you need to go through the Getting Started steps.

The FSUTIL utility requires that you have administrative privileges.

At which point I wanted to scream - But I Am an Administrator.

So, I looked around to make sure. Yes, I was in the Domain Admins group which was in the Administrators group. Looked like I was good to go. I had logged in with my admin account rather than my normal user accout. Hmm, what was up?

I searched on Google and thankfully came across a comment in this post that reminded me that Windows 2008 requires you to explicitly run the command window as an administrator. I right-clicked on the cmd icon, selected Run as Administrator, and voila! the fsutil command ran. Not that it gave me the information I wanted, but it ran.

1. Call conference only works with 3 way calling on hard phones.  Soft phones can reportedly handle up to 10 simultaneous calls
2. Currently it is not possible to automatically hit dial and successfully call a number from the Caller ID list - these must be redialed manually.
   

Key Training Issues

1. BUTTONS DO NOT DIAL AS YOU PUSH THEM:
   • Its almost like email: when you enter a phone number the system then SENDS the phone number to connect you. 
   • The phones are sensitive to the TIMING of your pushing the buttons.  Dialing 3 or 4 digits and then pausing can result in a failed cal.  
   • To control this you can change the delay before dialing preferences setting.

Sanitizing Input Strings

Most developers are aware of SQL Injection attacks and know how important it is to sanitize input strings such as names, email addresses and any other content. (kxcd has a very funny cartoon about such exploits). Steve Friedl has a good article on how attackers find such holes in your applications. It's critical for web application security that you make sure inputs are properly escaped before using them in database queries. Perhaps in a future post I'll talk about some strategies for doing that more effectively. And remember that you must sanitize all input, not just strings. Sure, you have a <select> list to allow the user to pick which type of pizza they want and you've given them numbers (1 = cheese, 2 = sausage, 3 = veggie combo, etc.) but that doesn't stop someone from sending you a request where the pizza type is a string with instructions to change the admin email address to their own.

Preventing Problematic Output

But it's not just SQL Injection attacks we must be concerned about with sanitizing user input. What happens to your application if a user can put HTML in their ...

Having a small bootable volume would make the below duplication easier, but making the volume in the first place would take more time than the duplication.

I know that many people run their code and if it looks like it works they figure - Great, I'm done! But while seeing that it performs as expected is one test of your code, seeing your code in action gives you a much better sense of what's happening and whether it's going to do the right in every case.

Let's take a look at a contrived example in code. I'll use PHP since its what I'm using for most of my work these days, and I'll simplify the code so it's clear what's going on.

function getItemFromDBOrCache()
{
	$fInCache = false;

	$fINCache = foundInCache($row);

	if (!$fInCache) {	
		$row = fetchFromDB();
	}

	return $row;
}

If you run this code, your program should work fine. Yes, the cache isn't used, but if you don't have an easy way of checking that, you'll never notice the uppercase typo on the $fINCache line. But, if you set a breakpoint on this function and step through each line, you're very likely to notice the problem (even if there are several lines between the pieces of code in the example). You'd see the cache return the item and then the code still fetch the item from the database. Doing a good code review would probably also uncover this problem, but usually that's later in the development process. I suggest stepping through all new code when ...

The meat of the book (Part II)  is an explanation of the stages of the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) process. The authors do a good job of explaining these steps and how you can implement them in your own project. I think the SDL is a great process for improving the security of a software project and would suggest anyone who is concerned about the security of their software project (which should be just about everyone working on a significant software project) should read this book.

I would recommend this book for managers and developers (even though the authors point out it is not a book with code samples and examples of how to write better code). I believe if developers know more about the how security issues crop up and can be handled, they will be better equipped to write solid code.

Last time I reviewed one of two books on security that I had recently read. This time I'll review the other book - Secure Coding: Princeiples & Practices by Mark G. Graff and Kenneth R. van Wyk (and published by O'Reilly which puts out excellent books in general).

This is a great book which I would recommend developers, testers and managers read. Even operations folks could get something out of this book. It's a different book from the Security Development Lifecycle in many ways. It's shorter and doesn't provide the step-by-step methods that SDL does. It is very easy reading, with just a few coding samples. It provides some great real-life examples of security flaws and some creative solutions.

Graff and van Wyk give you a lot of things to think about and some problems to avoid and ways to do things right.

One of their better suggestions is to come up with a metaphor of your application (or a particular feature) when you are designing the architecture. Rather than thinking about people making seat reservations (for an on-line ticketing system, for example) come up with a different model and think about how someone might attack that. Because, they point out, someone attacking you isn't necessarily following your model and architectural security flaws are the most difficult to solve.

This is another book I'd suggest you read and have on your shelf.

My main audience at this point is the development staff at Topaz Group. We are separated both by space and time. By space, because we are spread out and do not share offices or even the same area code. By time because I know there will be new developers coming after me, some of whom may join only after I leave. And while there will be development documents and design documents that may be private, I also want to write about how one does a good job of developing software.

Obviously, by making this public, I also hope that there will eventually be other readers (and, once we advance the tool some, we'll even turn on comments so you can make yourselves known). As with the Topaz Group developers, I would hope that I have some words of wisdom to new developers.

I've been in the business of developing software for over twenty years now (and "writing computer programs" for over thirty years if you take a broad definition of that phrase. Perhaps later I'll write down some of my early experiences for historical sake) and I've had the opportunity to learn from some remarkable people and make some mistakes, which helps the learning process. So, I'd like to pass on that learning to whomever is interested. Hopefully you'll find some of it useful and you'll come back to read more.

Every time I hit the "clear" button, which is the apple equivalent of Num Lock, I got a little squat sound like the fart of a beetle.

This is the apple system sounds equivalent of "Doh," congratulations you are blocked.

I searched Dr. Google and apple help and this is what they had to say: "to turn on and off num lock, hit the num lock key."

In other words, thanks but no thanks, come back again another day ... nada amigos.

Well if you're thinking of pulling out your hair try this first:

NUM LOCK can be deactivated on the mac by hitting option FIVE TIMES.

This is a setting controlled in Universal Access. Hitting the option key FIVE TIMES enables keyboard control of the mouse, in the event you neglect to plug in your rechargeable or get some other bunk mouse situation.

The only indication is that when you hit the 4, 8, 9 and 2 keys on the num pad, the mouse pointer moves a smidgen.   BUT THE NUMBERS DON'T WORK, as if the devil himself were laughing as you try to give someone your phone number on IM.

So try hitting that option button FIVE TIMES to deactivate universal access and see if that's the solution you'r looking for.

Notes

You can have JSFL scripts available within the Flash authoring environment by storing them in one of several folders within the Configuration folder. By default:

* Windows 2000 or Windows XP: 
  * boot drive|Documents and Settings|user|Local Settings|Application Data|Macromedia|Flash 8|language|Configuration| 
* Mac OS X: 
  * Macintosh HD|Users|userName|Library|Application Support|Macromdia|Flash 8|language|Configuration| 

To determine the location of the Configuration folder, use

* fl.configDirectory or 
* fl.configURI 

Within the Configuration folder, the following folders can contain scripts that you can access in the authoring environment:

* Behaviors
* Commands (for scripts that appear on the Commands menu)
* Effects (for timeline effects)
* JavaScript (for scripts used by Script Assist)
* Tools (for extensible tools in the Tools panel), 
* WindowSWF (for panels that appear in the Windows menu). 

If you edit a script in the Commands folder, the new script is immediately available in Flash. If you edit a script for an effect or extensible tool, you have to close and restart Flash, or else use the

* fl.reloadEffects() or
* fl.reloadTools() 

If you used a script to add an extensible tool to the Tools panel and you then edit the script, you must either remove and then add the tool to the Tools panel again, or else close and restart Flash for the revised tool to be available.
