<owaspfeed/>
: Joshua Bloch (of Java Puzzlers fame) discovered this [[Integer overflow|overflow]] that affects Arrays.binarySearch() and any other divide-and-conquer algorithms (probably other languages as well). "The general lesson that I take away from this bug is humility: It is hard to write even the smallest piece of code correctly, and our whole world runs on big, complex pieces of code."

: Yet another pointless article discussing whether open-source or closed-source is more secure. The truth is that your application should be secure even if an attacker has the source. If you're using a source code control system (and you absolutely should), there are copies of your code all over the place. So get over it - secrecy isn't a countermeasure.

: In a report titled, "Application Assurance Platforms Arise from Web App Firewall Market’s Ashes," Yankee projects overall product revenue in the evolving AAP market to grow to $230 million by 2009. AAP's are predicted to combine the web application firewall, database security, XML security gateway and application traffic management segments.

: "The site asks for your user name and password, as well as the token-generated key. If you visit the site and enter bogus information to test whether the site is legit -- a tactic used by some security-savvy people -- you might be fooled. That's because this site acts as the "man in the middle" -- it submits data provided by the user to the actual Citibusiness login site. If that data generates an error, so does the phishing site, thus making it look more real."
