As I upgrade drives and donate my older hardware to friends and charities, I like to make sure the data on those drives is wiped. I&#8217;ve been using Darik&#8217;s boot and nuke (DBAN) to wipe my drives for the past year or two, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As much as we all hate FTP and the insecurities of the protocol, I&#8217;ve given up on the fact that it&#8217;s going to be retired anytime soon. A lot of old legacy systems (mainframes, AS400s, etc.) don&#8217;t support SSH, but they so support the infamous FTP protocol. These two factors force a lot of companies [...]]]></description>

The FireSSH plug-in allows you to create an SSH connection to a remote host using just a web browser, and I can see all kinds of uses for this! The plug-in is written entirely in javascript, and uses a couple of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am currently running dd-wrt at home. Dd-wrt works pretty well, but I recently started to do some digging to see what other routing / firewall solutions existed. There are a bunch of routing / firewall gateway solutions available, and each one provides a unique experience. Some run on Linux, some on OpenBSD, and others [...]]]></description>

These binaries run with root privileges, and are often the first binaries examined by individuals wishing to escalate privileges on a system. To keep tabs on setuid and setgid files, the following find(1) statement can be run periodically: $ [...]]]></description>
