I'm curious. To people who have purchased bitly, why? I feel like setting it up would take as long as writing your own. My very first web project I ever did was to write a url shortener and it took me less than an afternoon. A good engineer I'm sure could do it in less than an hour.

For the price, what does it get you?

What's sad is that not even wrong security was in place here. They didn't even try. There was NO XSS prevention.

<script>javascript</script> is the first payload you try when looking for the stupidest XSS you can find....

As someone who has only just entered the `real world', I found it so incredibly odd that people's employers very often get involved in these internet dealings by firing someone because they use a sexist/racist/whatever-ist slur.

To people out there. If you are going to talk about somewhat controversial topics, the ``my opinions are my own'' you put on your twitter probably isn't enough protection.

This actually starts before steroids were invented.

What's a native client do if Google still stores all your emails, receives all your email's, etc. It's not like once you read the email in your client Google forgets it ever saw the email.....

Ah thanks I never realized.

I'm seeking work to freelance as a security consultant on short engagements or small projects. Because of this my going rate is quite low.

I specialize in webapp security, cryptography, android security, and love PHP (developers nightmare is a hackers dream).

I'm a recent grad with my MS in CS. I mostly focus on information security and cryptography. I want to know everything about the two subjects.

I'm about to start working at a SaaS startup security company.

This is like....seriously one of the worst documents I've ever read.

My post is "on paper". In reality, projects are squeezed for nickels and dimes.

My point is that while open-source should be better, right now it seems that everything is equally not good enough.

There are pros and cons to both closed source and open source. Open source is nice because the community can audit the code and see for themselves, but closed-source is nice because a company generally has the resources to maintain and build software correctly.

Both of these are hypothetical, however. We've seen tons of vulnerabilities from both. IMHO Open Source works a lot better on paper but once projects get very large auditing them is really hard...which definitely cuts down on the amount of eyes looking at them.

There's a difference between not allowing spaces and not hashing. They could have just written a bad PW policy that doesn't completely make sense

You're drawing conclusions from information that doesn't lead you to one.

In high school, I didn't know there were such things as "top colleges". I knew Harvard and Yale existed and were good...but beyond that I honestly didn't even know MIT existed. It's probably because my family has been in America for only about 60 years now and my generation is the first to go to college (honestly just guessing here..)

So I applied to college and went to a pretty big state school (for my area).

I'm really blessed to end up where I've ended up after graduation. I know so many really really good classmates who have a lot of talent and never even get a glance when looking for jobs at some of these companies. It really just isn't fair sometimes...

I think you're going to see a huge amount of digitaloceans since "production" for me isn't exactly getting a lot of traffic, so it's on a $5 instance.. So I predict digitalocean will rack up a lot of $5 instances and win.
