New iPhone and Exchange issues
Submitted by cyberlot on Wed, 10/03/2007 - 13:42So got a new iPhone, get vpn up and running without a problem. Also managed to get the mail client to talk to my exchange server.
The problem? We have a couple users this is not working for it seems if you rename a user in exchange there actual mailbox store keeps the same old name, Every single person who's login does not match there mailbox store name can not use IMAP4 to check there email it just dies for some reason..

Programming, Security and looking for a real solution!
Submitted by cyberlot on Wed, 04/04/2007 - 18:05It seems like every week a couple more people post about PHP security, or any other language for that matter.
PHP is insecure!
Web 2.0 is insecure!
XYZ is insecure!
Why all the problems, sure PHP has its issues just like any other language. Whats the common factor in most cases? Thats pretty simple, Know thy data! Is it safe? Who did it come from?.. Wait a minute, "Who did it come from?" it came from the person on viewing the website.
Fact is theres no way to be sure, browsers support validation of websites but websites can't validate the person!
Funny little php "virus" floating around
Submitted by cyberlot on Thu, 02/08/2007 - 19:11Got an email that claimed to be from my host, it used a generic return address and talked about security upgrades and such and how due to new policy to help keep a secure data center I was required to upload and run 1 of 2 files in a zip attachment, the first was a php file the other was an asp file.
Now I instantly realized it wasn't from my host but it was well thought out and I could see it "appealing/fooling" novice users to I tore through it a bit.
