While DNS is propagating I figure I might as well go ahead and post that the site has been moved to the machine that’s been waiting for me to direct traffic at it for months in the colo. All the graphics, pages and menus should be fixed. The plugins should all be working as well. The last thing I’m working on right now is figuring out why the permalinks aren’t all correct. However, the site loads, works, etc. Sorry for any inconvenience during propagation and the fixes for permalinks. Now that it’s moved I should be able to get back to posting and research projects that have otherwise consumed my…

A More Minimal https://krypted.com/
I’ve wanted to redo https://krypted.com/ for a long time. And I finally had a good excuse: my wife and daughter went to sleep early tonight. So, phase one, a very minimal design. This kinda’ mimics my latest approach to a lot of things, but the site is far simpler, a little quicker and hopefully now that the bad design has less to say, I’ll end up getting back to having more to say. Anyway, I hope you like it and Happy 2013!

Disabling Comments
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been inundated with comments on the site. Because I do have a day job and other responsibilities, I’m not able to deal with all of them. Therefore, I’m going to be experimenting around with comments for the next few weeks. In addition to the spam filters and captcha requirements I currently have I’ll be expiring comments on articles over 90 days and a few other things WordPress makes kinda’ easy. But, in the short term, I’ll be outright disabling comments until I can get caught up. Sorry for the inconvenience. Also, if you have a comment that you’ve posted I will get to it.…

More Visitors Than Ever
The past 3 days have netted between 15,000 and 20,000 unique visitors per day, with each day seeing a bit more traffic than the previous. Given that most of my readers are at work (according to the stats at least), I’m guessing that will slow down as usual come Saturday. But that’s still 2 of the 3 top days ever for krypted.com, so thanks for caring and I hope you’re enjoying the articles! Bandwidth overages for https://krypted.com/ are one of those things I find myself always happy to pay! 🙂

2,000 Posts And Going Strong
In December of 2004, in response to a request from my publisher at the time, I started this site in its current form. I kept the domain from my personal tinkeration site, which was a glorified file service, some static html pages for me to remember things (I can be a bit forgetful at times) and some .htaccess files to keep parts of the site private. I’d been using the domain for awhile, but started tinkering around with a few blogging engines and eventually settled on the one I’m using now. The total number of posts now sits a little over 2020, with a few being drafts on upcoming products…

Vulnerability Scanning Web Servers Using Nikto On OS X
I’ve had a pretty easy time using Nikto over the years. Nikto is a security scanner specific to web servers. I did a post on Nessus recently, but Nessus is a tool for looking at any service running on a system and trying to find available vulnerabilities. Nikto is can do many of the same things, but is specific and therefore more in depth for web servers. This involves looking at things like CGI directories and robots.txt files as well. Nikto is written in Perl. In order to do everything Nikto can do there are a few perl mules that need to be installed. But let’s look at one of…

Comments On https://krypted.com/
Comments on this site have been a pain since I enabled them about 2 1/2 years ago. I believe I enabled them due to something some judgmental person said when they couldn’t comment on an article I had written. During the first year, there was a lot of fine tuning the spam blocking to try and keep out the spammy crap. That continues to be a work in progress, but it seems to be in pretty good shape. During those couple of years I ended up racking up a queue of about 7,000 in the spam category and another 2,000+ in the pending category (which meant I need to deal…

New User Submission Page
I have now opened up the site to user submissions and built a page to submit content. I’ve also tweaked the layout a little more to make things load faster and cleaned up the nav bar so that the Submit button can take you to the submission page. I hope to see some pretty awesome submissions after slaving away on the forms! A couple of notes on submissions: Submissions do not require authenticating to the site For any accepted submissions I will create an account for you (unless you already have one) and make sure that submissions are properly attributed Feel free to submit a snippet along with a read…
