It is undeniable that Web services and AJAX-ified interfaces are the trend now. Application that utilizes internet to retrieve data (such as mobile application or other thin client) uses web services alongside with its data format. AJAX-ified interface and website gives a modern and edgy look can make websites more attractive and can create great impression to the users.
However the issue of the web application security would still remain the same, if not more challenging, since there are so many ways to exploit the vulnerability of websites that utilizes Web Services and AJAX transfers on the background.
Therefore, it is imperative to use the right technique in order to evaluate the security of these services before deploying them out in the open.
For that matter, now I’m currently reading Ajax Security (Hoffman,B. & Sullivan, B.) and Securing Ajax applications (Wells, C.) which in my opinion is a pretty good start for somebody like me to understand common methods for securing web services and websites which uses AJAX heavily.
Hopefully the situation would improved as there are a lot of campaigns around to raise the state of awareness of web application security.
cpulimit is a tool that can be used to limit cpu usage (throttle cpu usage) for a single process (by its PID). cpulimit is useful to ensure that a single process would not hogs the cpu cycles, which can be use by other processes. cpulimit is different from ‘nice’ as it limits the real cpu usage for a process, while ‘nice’ controls scheduling priorities for a particular process.
How to use cpulimit?
Basic usage:
cpulimit -p [pid] -l [ cpu percentage] cpulimit -p 12345 -l 25
Running cpulimit on background:
cpulimit -p 12345 -l 25 -z -b
Note: The cpu percentage is the same one as reported by the ‘top’ command.
cpulimit can be installed from Ubuntu and Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) repository through apt-get. The official website of cpulimit is http://limitcpu.sf.net
It is undeniable that uptime is important for business and personal websites. For example, a website with low uptime may mean that the host is having technical problem or the web server is overwhelmed by client requests (serving web pages may incur a lot of overhead)
Pingness.com service does not require sign-up, you need to submit your email address and website url, and pingness will send reports of your site downtime (if any) and when the website is back-online.

grake is a command-line tool for scanning web pages for embedded Youtube video link. As a scanning tool, grake is meant to complement other tool that would accept Youtube URL as its parameter, notably cclive.
Usage Example:
# general command line example grake [YOUTUBE URL]
# typical / normal use grake http://youtube.com/
#output as json (for programmatic consumption) grake --json http://youtube.com/
#tell cclive to download youtube urls from grake output grake http://youtube.com/ | cclive
This of course require the latest release of cclive in order for the download example to work.
This video sums up just the thing you wanted to know about Google+
LYRICS:
Check my email, got an invite
To a website I don’t know
Looked like googlebuzz at first sight,
But my friend said that’s a no.
Why did we need, another social network?
Doesn’t Facebook work alright?
A new thing for me to learn
This could take all night, Look out!
What is this google +
I don’t Need google +
There’s another +1 and another +1
What is this google +
Hey, Why’s this red thing here?
Go away google +
You want me to put my friends in circles
But circles are for squares
Everday’s like Sophie’s choice
Trying to choose which friend goes where
But No Parents, or Ex-boyfriends…
Can get in without invites
And when I drunkenly post that he’s cute
I can edit it later that night – whoa
I kinda like google +
Can’t believe I’m on google +
Oh another hangout, and another hang out
I dig my google +
Hey, old high school friend
You can’t join my google +
Friends add me, without me adding them
That feature’s really nice
Randos
Uglies
my pot dealer
and all these friend’s I’ve never liked
No one knows, my circle names,
So even good friend’s get handpicked
Do you make it into my main feed
or do I add you to my circle of pricks
I’m in love with google plus
I’m judgemental on goggle +
and Another douchebag and another loser
You didn’t make my google plus
Hey, Now I’m a facist pig
Thank you google plus!
