Dictionary files are files containing all kinds of words excellent for brute force password attacks.
Here are my collection. Some of them made by me, and other collected around the internett.

Netcraft reports that 14% of SSL Certificates are signed using md5.

A team of researchers (including one Norwegian) has managed to break the technology that issues trusted certificates for secure websites (SSL). As a proof of concept they executed a practical attack scenario and successfully created a rogue Certification Authority (CA) certificate trusted by all common web browsers.
The long, official version and the short version. Happy reading.

I just got to ask you this: Is security bugs just normal bugs? Or should they be treated special?

The reason I ask, is because of a statement made by Linus Torvalds in a discussion on the Linux kernel mailinglist just a few days ago.

So I personally consider security bugs to be just "normal bugs". I don't
cover them up, but I also don't have any reason what-so-ever to think it's
a good idea to track them and announce them as something special.

Name: phpWebSite
Version: 1.4.0
Release date: Dec 11, 2007

Developed by the Web Technology Group at Appalachian State University,
phpWebSite provides a complete web site content management system ( CMS ).

This is mostly a note for myself, but sharing is caring.

To clear the content of a file:

$ echo "" > filename

To fill a file with junk:

$ cat /dev/urandom > filename

OK, here's the deal. I have some Pownce invites and they are no use just sitting there, not used by anyone.

So, If you want an invite, just add a comment or send me an e-mail and I'll send out the ones I've got.
