UncomplicatedFirewall Introduction The Linux kernel in Ubuntu provides a packet filtering system called netfilter, and the traditional interface for manipulating netfilter are the iptables suite of commands. iptables provide a complete firewall solution that is both highly configurable and highly flexible. Becoming proficient in iptables takes time, and getting started with netfilter firewalling using only iptables can be a daunting task. As a result, many frontends for iptables have been created over the years, each trying to achieve a different result and targeting a different audience.

Blog: XSS Defense HOWTO We all agree that cross-site scripting is a serious problem, but what continues to amaze me is the lack of good documentation on the subject. It is easy to find instructions how to execute attacks against applications vulnerable to XSS, but finding something adequate to cover defence is a real challenge.

All I am getting is a page after page after page of half-truths and partial information, and even people saying that XSS is impossible to defend against. Without any planning (so please forgive any omissions), I am now going to write how to produce web applications that are safe against XSS and other injection attacks.
