Trip Report: UW signing-party
Dear Debian Users, I met last night with a friend from many years ago and a number of students of cryptography.

I was hoping that civilized humanity had come to agree that using cryptography for deception, harm to others and […]

So back when I was working for MySQL AB as support manager for MaxDB, I created an IRC bot to help manage the #maxdb channel on Freenode. We didn’t get a lot of traffic, and Daniel De Graaf mentioned that he could use a bot to help manage some iptables factoids over on #netfilter. So […]

SELinux on Wheezy
So, Collier Technologies LLC needs to pass annual audits to operate a certification authority recognized by the SoS. To this end, I’m working with the fine group of developers who maintain SELinux. It seems that the configuration of Xorg that I’m using while typing this here blog post does not have a policy set up […]

Perl interface to processing / querying NIST’s NVD feed
For a work project, I wrote a library in perl that can be used to query the NVD feed that NIST publishes here: http://nvd.nist.gov/download.cfm Here’s a snippit from the perldoc: use NIST::NVD::Query; # use convert_nvdcve to generate these files from the XML dumps at # http://nvd.nist.gov/download.cfm my( $path_to_db, $path_to_idx_cpe ) = @ARGV; my $q = […]
