My Heard Space

I came across this about a month ago, It’s a php library that helps you do sanity checks on user input variables

e.g $_POST , $_GET and $_REQUEST .

The library works on defined intrusion patterns which detect a malicious users’ attempts to break your php code and it also allows you to add define your own patterns. This helps to prevent a lot of issues like sql injections, url tempering and others. I have been playing around with it for weeks now and I am impressed with it’s functionality, it’s deninately going to be added into my code base. I would advice that you check it out and see what it can do for you.

Please remember to read the license before you start using it.

I know what you thinking, I had the same thing happen to when I read the title on the original blog. Apparently the concept does work and It seems to get the job done. you can read more on this subject at PhP DNS Daemon . This makes you wonder how far you can push php, I guess sometimes all you need is imagination and the will to see it through.

If you are one of those people who still love the command – line interface or you are a nood who wants to improve his command – line skills then I would suggest you try out this site commandlinefu which is still in alpha mode, I have contributed my own linux commands which I use on a regular base and also got some more from other linux users. You can also get the latest commands available to you via rss feeds. It’ shaping up to be a good site already and I will definately keep my eye out for it.
