Apache DOS exploit in the wild

With the release of the Slowlaris Denial Of Service (DOS) client I have moved my sites back to lighttpd from apache.

This seems to almost be pick your poison, as I have had stability issues with lighttpd under FreeBSD. However, I expect that people will use this time to try out the new exploit listed on the front page of slashdot.

This follows yesterdays clean up of a clients website that had been defaced.

There is a hint that there is a an ancient patch for FreeBSD and apache 1.3 that might solve the problem, but it never seems to have made it into wide spread use.

Facebook Apps are starting to work!

At some point the last show stopper fell and it all started making sense.

Enough is enough.

I was visiting a friends website and finally realized that I had to write a quick bookmarklet to make these sites readable.

Here is the Reformat Page bookmarklet.

To use this drag the Reformat Page link to your tool bar and any time you come across an unreadable page you can click on the bookmark and it will reformat the page.

The bookmarklet calls an external page http://www.micheas.net/bookmarklets/cleanpage.js that includes jQuery and then at about line 32 the code that reformats the page starts .
