Application Security training

Today I attended an application security training as part of company’s compliance policy and requirement.

Most of the things discussed there were known to us. But it was still an interesting session as trainer explained in how much variety one case exploit your system. SQL injection, HTML injections or XSS are not new to programmers, but it definitely interesting to know how new age hackers are leveraging this exploits.

Twitter

As web 2.0 is picking up, people are finding new ways to share information. Few days back a friend of mine sent me a URL for Twitter. I first thought, it is just a one more stupid invitation which keep coming. But I was happily wrong. It is actually a great tool to use.

I am now using twitter for like three weeks and became huge fan of it. Its small little thing which can work miracles if you use it right.

Few advantages that I see are like,
1. Best way to network with right people.
2. People actually help you solve problems from around the globe.
3. You are on top of all updates from your friends and foes.

Well I would not like to bore you with huge list that I have. But I must say, give it a try. Connect to right people and see miracles happening.

I was amazed with one specific use of Twitter, one good fellow actually switched off his bedroom lights with it. Have a look at it here.

Happy twitting as they call it…

BTW, you can follow me on “youseeshah”.

PicLens

I came across an application called “PicLens“. This application allows you to view your Picasa, Flickr, etc pictures in a great way. First time someone shown me that I was amazed.

Great concept, I must say. It just transforms your list of photographs into an experience.

It works out of IE and Firefox (well, I actually used just these two only.) and works great.

I recommend all my friends to use it.

Enjoy…
