We offer penetration testing at Brain Bulb, but I always try to convince 
clients to let us perform a security audit instead. Auditing the code 
allows us to be much more productive and thorough, plus we can identify 
theoretical weaknesses in addition to the practical ones.


In addition to being less useful, penetration testing tends to be much 
more expensive, because it requires more time and effort. The only 
reason we offer the service is that some companies are uncomfortable 
sharing their code with anyone, regardless of NDAs and such.


You might want to check out the links Christophe mentioned, as these 
provide free advice, which seems to be more along the lines of what you 
want.

Loop through your file, one at a time and match using the following:

if ( ereg("^(.*)CONFIRMED:", $line, $ary) ) {
  $text = $ary[1]; // $text now contains what matched in (.*) above
}

This will mostly work.  Unless "CONFIRMED:" can appear multiple times per 
line.


The other way to do this would be via the shell...

grep "CONFIRMED:" *.html | sed 's/CONFIRMED:.*//'

would spit out all the matching lines from all your files..

good luck.

JM

 

While this query would work, using a fulltext index would give you a 
much more powerful search.  Check to see if your database offers some 
sort of text indexing (it probably does!)


Suppose you have a product title like "The Lion, the Witch, and the 
Wardrobe".  If your user did a search on "lion witch wardrobe", you'd 
want my example to show up.  Just comparing these fields with a LIKE 
will not give you my result, unless you explode the search string and 
create several LIKE statements based the individual terms, but then you 
have to do three LIKE comparisons, which will probably be slower than a 
full text index.  If you are able to use a full text index, then you can 
write queries like this:


$sql = 'SELECT * FROM products WHERE MATCH ( product_title ) AGAINST ( 
"' .$_REQUEST['product_title']. '" ) AND MATCH ( product_description ) 
AGAINST ( "' .$_REQUEST['product_description']. '" )';


which would give you "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" if search 
terms were "lion witch wardrobe".

I completely disagree.  I don't mean any offense to anyone here, but I find

I was making a point.  I don't see why recursion is allowed in every other
function except for __get().  I think your argument is weak about
protecting people from typos.  If PHP wanted to protect people from typos,
it should force you to declare your variables.

I was bringing the to the table a discussion of the current behavior of
__get().  I proposed that I might be broken or maybe should be changed, and
you start insulting my abilities as a programmer and suggest that we
shouldn't consider "moving forward" and just deal with what we have?

I suspect it doesn't.  If __get() is anywhere in the call stack, then
$this->x won't invoke a 2nd __get() call.

> design decisions that painted you into this corner.

Well, it doesn't have any implication on the performance of my app,
considering the code path is executed like 5% (or less) of the time.

Painted myself into this corner?  Why?  Because I think its easier to write
$this->myvar than it is to write $this->attrs['myvar']?  Its PHP's job to
make my life easier and more convenient.

Wow, how pompous of you.  Bad design, huh?  Since when is it bad design to
calculate attribute values on the fly?  Many "cookbook" style books have
idioms for doing this.  In my case, one of the calculated values depends on
other values accessible via __get().  So why shouldn't I use __get()?  The
syntax is cleaner.  Btw, when I say "use __get()", I mean implicitly call
__get() via $this->attribute syntax.  This whole problem does not exist if
you call __get() explicitly, but then whats the point.

Speaking of "good design", Python's __getattr__() behaves how I expect.

Calling my image and then assigning a random string as a query string didn't
really help.. I don't know if I did it correctly or misunderstood the logic
you were implying. What I did made my image look like verify.png?839838ksh8
... But that didn't really make IE display the fresh image.. It still
displayed the old image from cache, only the Query string was a unique
random string each time.

However, your theory gave me another idea which works for now! Instead of
defining the image name as verify.png.. I have defined the image name to be
the random string. Each time the page opens.. A new image is created with a
new image name... Thus IE cannot display the old image from it's cache
because the image name's differ.

The con of this method is that every time someone accesses this page, a new
image will be created and stored in the folder, taking up byte space. I'll
definitely run up a script to erase images a day old though.

For now this works.. I don't know if it's the best way to do this, but
considering nothing regarding the Cache was working, I don't mind doing this
for now, at least the application is working.

If I had misunderstood your method and you think your method is better then
what I'm using now, I'd still really appreciate if you can clarify and
explain.

[PHP] Regex nightmares

2005-05-23 Thread W Luke
Hi,

I really struggle with regex, and would appreciate some guidance. 
Basically, I have a whole load of files (HTML) which are updated every
few minutes.  I need to go through each line, looking for the word
CONFIRMED: (which is always in capitals, and always superseded by a
colon).  The line looks like this:

22.5 J.Smith at Thropton, CONFIRMED: more text here, including commas
and info on the appointment etc

There are other similar appointments that haven't yet been confirmed,
so..I just need to pick out the confirmed ones.  Once the regex finds
"CONFIRMED:" I also need it to grab the text up to and including the
date (22.5).  I don't really need any text *after* "CONFIRMED:" yet,
but possible in the future.

There seem to be a lot of tutorials on, eg, getting hrefs from anchor
tags, but I can't get my head around this particular one.  Any ideas
or pointers would be great

Cheers

Will

indeed you are - your require statements are ok but some of the

does not include the base directory where your PEAR classes are found
(I guess that the DB and Pager classes are PEAR things :-)

either make sure include_path is set correctly, this can be done
in the php.ini, in a .htacess file (Apache specific) or by using:

// you have to decide what the value of $incPath should be!
ini_set('include_path', $incPath);

or you can change the define() statements in your config file
so that they define the full path to the directories in question rather than
a relative path e.g:

define('PAGER_DIR', 'C:/Path/To/PEAR/Base/Dir/Pager/');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager.php');
require(PAGER_DIR . 'Pager_Wrapper.php');

 I recommend reading up on include_path:

You'll get only a few basic checks if you give only that URL.

There could be several ways to do this. One would be to set a variable

On Sun, May 22, 2005 3:24 pm, Christopher J. Bottaro said:
> And what would make it any different from a normal recursive function?

The fact that *ANY* attempt to access a mis-typed property would kick in a
__get() call, and that's too frickin' easy to happen in code that's too
easy to fly by QA in large-scale applications springs to mind...

Not saying you're "wrong" or they're "right" just that it's not quite as
simple as a normal recursive function or loop iteration.

> Every recursive function runs the risk of going into infinite loop if the

Just saying it's an easier silly mistake to mis-type: $whatever->fooo
instead of $whatever->foo and have that escape QA somehow.

> Loops run the risk of going on indefinitely as well.  Maybe PHP should

That does seem a bit excessive...

Maybe __get() should allow recursion and let the developer worry about
infinite recursion.

But, today, it doesn't, so deal with it and move on.

> What is wrong with that?  Why should PHP disallow that recursive __get()
> call?  It is perfectly valid recursive code.  It terminates for all cases.

What happens if you do:

class example {
  function __get($x){
return $this->recursive_get($x);
  }

  function recursive_get($x){
/* paste your current __get function body here */
  }
}

I suspect it will work just fine at the expense of one (1) extra function
call, which is not significant in recursion.

A recursive __get() has some serious implications to performance and
design decisions that painted you into this corner.

Obviously, it's entirely possible that your Design is the most elegant
beautiful disciplined bit of code since John von Nueman...  But it's more
likely, without knowing anything about you, that you've come up with this
as a result of some bad Design decisions.

Review your Design. :-)

I think they're trying to stop massive bandwidth drain by peeps
direct-downloading the movie...

Or something like that.

I can understand that, as some of my largest hits these days are from
image theft by bloggers using commercial blog-ware/blog-sites.
* livejournal was the most egregious offender, if you care.

You'd think the blog-site owners would force them to upload their own
images, instead of stealing my bandwidth but I guess not. :-(

I wouldn't mind at all it if they provided a link back or even just named
our music venue in the text somewhere, and the bandwidth is no big deal
any more, but it irks me.

I must not care that much, cuz I haven't hacked the images to be...
something interesting... when they are being "stolen"... Yet.

why are functions not suitable? you are probably right but I'm interested to 
understand why.
could you give us an example?


So my question is does PHP have what are in other languages sometimes called 
pragmas or literal.

I suppose they  could be descibed as variables containing code.


you could tackle this in 2 ways:

1. use eval() to evaluate a string containing php code - define the strings in 
1 place.
2. use include()/require() to include a file that contains the relevant code 
whenever you need
it.

I would use 2. unless you have a technical reason that dictates you must use 1.
eval() is comparitively slow and also has the potential to open up big security 
holes in
your application (if you want to know why then the http://phpsec.org site is 
probably a good place to
start reading about security and stuff).

oh and there is also the create_function() function which can be very handy in 
some circumstances.

I whish people would stop implementing these kinds of things!

Question: do you deny access to your home because the person ringing the bell 
is African?  Or maybe because he is Muslim?  Or because he/she doesn't speak 
English?  There are laws against discrimination and you shouldn't create 
applications that deny access based on where the user comes from, what 
browser they use, or what language they speak.

Just because someone is using a browser doesn't mean they can't play QuickTime 
movies.  In fact, It is something that has been bothering me endlessly.  I am 
usually forced to hack around the site to find the url of the movie, then do 
a wget on that url and xine the resulting file.  All that for a lousy 30 sec 
movie!

Can you at least think of only one valid reason to do the stuff you ask to do? 
I don't think so.

Hi all

I am looking at where I can get my system tested for penetration.

In case someone here would like to have a go

This is the url

It is actually a kind of CMS system so if someone gets in, create a page with
