  • Evaluation of the CSF Firewall
    Bachelor Thesis in Software Engineering, 15 credits May 2013 Evaluation of the CSF Firewall Ahmad Mudhar Contact Information: Ahmad Mudhar E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Kari Rönkkö Nina Fogelström School of Computing Internet : www.bth.se/com Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE-371 79 Karlskrona Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Sweden 1 Abstract The subject of web server security is vast, and it is becoming bigger as time passes by. Every year, researches, both private and public, are adding to the number of possible threats to the security of web servers, and coming up with possible solutions to them. A number of these solutions are considered to be expensive, complex, and incredibly time-consuming, while not able to create the perfect web to challenge any breach to the server security. In the study that follows, an attempt will be made to check whether a particular firewall can ensure a strong security measure and deal with some security breaches or severe threat to an existing web server. The research conducted has been done with the CSF Firewall, which provides a suit of scripts that ensure a portal’s security through a number of channels. The experiments conducted under the research provided extremely valuable insights about the application in hand, and the number of ways the CSF Firewall can help in safety of a portal against Secured Shell (SSH) attacks, dedicated to break the security of it, in its initial stages. It further goes to show how simple it is to actually detect the prospective attacks, and subsequently stop the Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, as well as the port scans made to the server, with the intent of breaching the security, by finding out an open port.

In order to implement a Java macro you will need to write 2 classes: • One that representing the allowed parameters, including mandatory parameters, default values, parameter descriptions. An instance of this class will be automatically populated when the user calls the macro in wiki syntax. • Another one that is the macro itself and implements the Macro interface. The XWiki Rendering Architecture can be summarized by the image below: The Parser parses a text input like "xwiki/2.0" syntax or HTML and generates an XDOM object. This object is an Abstract Syntax Tree which represents the input into structured blocks. The Renderer takes an XDOM as input and generates an output like "xwiki/2.0" syntax, XHTML or PDF. The Transformation takes an XDOM as input and generates a modified one.

  • "This Book Was a Joy to Read. It Covered All Sorts of Techniques for Debugging, Including 'Defensive' Paradigms That Will Eliminate Bugs in the First Place
    Perl Debugged By Peter Scott, Ed Wright Publisher : Addison Wesley Pub Date : March 01, 2001 ISBN : 0-201-70054-9 Table of • Pages : 288 Contents "This book was a joy to read. It covered all sorts of techniques for debugging, including 'defensive' paradigms that will eliminate bugs in the first place. As coach of the USA Programming Team, I find the most difficult thing to teach is debugging. This is the first text I've even heard of that attacks the problem. It does a fine job. Please encourage these guys to write more." -Rob Kolstad Perl Debugged provides the expertise and solutions developers require for coding better, faster, and more reliably in Perl. Focusing on debugging, the most vexing aspect of programming in Perl, this example-rich reference and how-to guide minimizes development, troubleshooting, and maintenance time resulting in the creation of elegant and error-free Perl code. Designed for the novice to intermediate software developer, Perl Debugged will save the programmer time and frustration in debugging Perl programs. Based on the authors' extensive experience with the language, this book guides developers through the entire programming process, tackling the benefits, plights, and pitfalls of Perl programming. Beginning with a guided tour of the Perl documentation, the book progresses to debugging, testing, and performance issues, and also devotes a chapter to CGI programming in Perl. Throughout the book, the authors espouse defensible paradigms for improving the accuracy and performance of Perl code. In addition, Perl Debugged includes Scott and Wright's "Perls of Wisdom" which summarize key ideas from each of the chapters, and an appendix containing a comprehensive listing of Perl debugger commands.

  • Name Description
    Perl version 5.10.0 documentation - perlnewmod NAME perlnewmod - preparing a new module for distribution DESCRIPTION This document gives you some suggestions about how to go about writingPerl modules, preparing them for distribution, and making them availablevia CPAN. One of the things that makes Perl really powerful is the fact that Perlhackers tend to want to share the solutions to problems they've faced,so you and I don't have to battle with the same problem again. The main way they do this is by abstracting the solution into a Perlmodule. If you don't know what one of these is, the rest of thisdocument isn't going to be much use to you. You're also missing out onan awful lot of useful code; consider having a look at perlmod, perlmodlib and perlmodinstall before coming back here. When you've found that there isn't a module available for what you'retrying to do, and you've had to write the code yourself, considerpackaging up the solution into a module and uploading it to CPAN so thatothers can benefit. Warning We're going to primarily concentrate on Perl-only modules here, ratherthan XS modules. XS modules serve a rather different purpose, andyou should consider different things before distributing them - thepopularity of the library you are gluing, the portability to otheroperating systems, and so on. However, the notes on preparing the Perlside of the module and packaging and distributing it will apply equallywell to an XS module as a pure-Perl one. What should I make into a module? You should make a module out of any code that you think is going to beuseful to others.
