Tags: apache, debian, php •
Comments: 13 amon.so: Hijacking System Calls For Hardening PHP - Debian Lenny And Squeeze amon.so is a library that integrates with the PHP interpreter and intercepts and manipulates the system calls provided by libc6. It replace the execve() syscall with a custom function which does extra sanity checking in order to prevent that an attacker could execute arbitrary code on the system exploiting a vulnerability in a web-based application (such as a bugged cms). It's open-source software released under the terms of the GPL license and compatible with PHP running as a CGI process or Apache's DSO module.

Upgrade Debian Lenny To Squeeze In A Few Simple Steps
Author: Debinix •
Tags: debian •
Comments: 17 Upgrade Debian Lenny To Squeeze In A Few Simple Steps One rather old laptop and one server were the test objects for this howto. Both systems do not have any RAID devices and use a simple partition scheme from a default basic Lenny install. If your setup deviates much from this, it's highly recommended to read all details of the Debian Release Notes before you continue. Be warned. All commands are run as root and Debian recommends to use apt-get for the Squeeze upgrade process.

Tags: debian, lighttpd, web server •
Comments: 0 How To Save Traffic With Lighttpd's mod_compress (Debian Squeeze) In this tutorial I will describe how to configure mod_compress on a Lighttpd web server (on Debian Squeeze). mod_compress allows Lighttpd to compress files and deliver them to clients (e.g. browsers) that can handle compressed content which most modern browsers do. With mod_compress, you can compress HTML, CSS, Javascript, text or XML files to approx. 20 - 30% of their original sizes, thus saving you server traffic and making your modem users happier.

Comments: 5 Send Instant Messages (Notifies) By XMPP (Jabber/Google Talk) From Linux Command Line sendxmpp is a perl-script to send xmpp (jabber), similar to what mail does for mail. Obviously, to use sendxmpp , you need a jabber account; they are freely available at jabber.org, but you can also run your own server. The good news is, instant messaging between the Google Talk servers and its clients uses an open protocol, XMPP, allowing users of other XMPP/Jabber clients to communicate with Google Talk users. This tutorial shows how you can compile and install SendXMPP on CentOS 5.5 server.
