Even with the definitely improved Internet Explorer 7 this browser is driving me nuts. Today I had to load an XML-file via AJAX using the jQuery-library. It owrked fine in every browser I tested, but, guess what, not with the IE7. It always failed to parse the XML-file.
I went nuts while searching for a non existing error in the XML-document. After a long time I finaly figured out that, for some reason I don’t understand, the IE7 doesn’t parse XML-files when you’re using a webpage directly from your fs instead of requesting it from a webserver.
So installing the Apache and using it to view the page solved it.
Maybe this can help someone else ;)

There are a lot of cool videos out there in the net. This one is a presentation by Johnny Long at the DefCon 15 with the wonderful title “No-Tech Hacking”.
He talks about Social Engineering, Shoulder Surfing, Trojan Horses and a bunch of other sweet stuff.
Very entertaining and nice to know, even for non computer dudes.

Due to research for my Bachelor thesis I found a good video about threat modeling, which explains the whole process by using the Death Star as example. It’s kind of “threat modeling for dummies” I think. The presentation was held by Kevin M. Williams at the last hope conference this year.
The video is split in 3 parts: [1] [2] [3].
Well done, Mr. Williams :D
P.S.: My favorite is Part No. 2 around 4:20….. :)

San joined me yesterday on my journy called “Give this blog a meaning”.
Unlike me he calls the Windows(tm, copyright and all the other stuff)-universe his home, so I guess most of his posts will be about ASP and .NET.
Cheers

Today our mailserver at the university told me that I’ve reached the limit of my IMAP-quota. Much to my regret in KMail version 1.2.9 there is no export function (or I couldn’t find it).
But there is hope: A little python-script called IMAP Backup Tool
Just execute it like this: imapbackup.py -u user -s mail.com:1234
and wait while all your mails will be downloaded and saved to seperate mbox-files for each IMAP-folder.

I gave some thoughts about redoing the whole blog in a less private way and arrived at the conclusion that I will make this blog more about computer science.
My english is not the best, but I’ve fun while writing it so I’ll give it a whirl.
Cheers
