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.

The joys of debugging facebook sites.

 My problems are of course being exacerbated by the fact that I want to be able to roll out facebook apps by the dozens and not in onesies and twosies.

 

IE 6 is Dieing.

Google has dropped IE 6 support from google apps and IE6's market share is under 20%.

While one could be tempted to write this off as just another salvo in the Microsoft Google war, anyone that has had to deal with ie6's "of by 3" bug (ie6 would consistantly render some parts of a page 3px different from all other browsers.) Many websites have the comment /*because IE is stupid*/ in there css and javascript files unbenonst to their owners. The web browser most hated by designers since Netscape 4. is finally going away.

 This means that transpearant background images are going to start becoming reality and the cool effects at zengarden are going to start showing up in mainstream websites. This also means faster website development and cheaper website development if you are paying someone.

 Over all Great news.
