Thank u noah, I guess it wasn't clear from the two other times I stated it explicitly. Sigh, sometimes I think nerds look for any excuse possible to give condescending paternalistic advice about security threats

If they are permanent that's truely lolworthy. Even if they are short term only it worries me quite a bit that a site like Stars gets something this trivial so wrong.

I might be wrong but I thought with the Stars hashy urls the zip file they linked to was encrypted. Not certain, I haven't used it myself.

yeah recapping all the answers i got, it seems theoretically possible but not likely. so don't use that method for something important. the github gist method over https seems to be secure technically, with the usual caveats that the "human" side of that method is not secure.

They weren't encrypted zips. They did password protect the URL, but the password was always the same. IIRC it was hands365getme or something. No idea why they did that..

Ok after sorta blowing 3 JR C# / ASP.Net interviews over the last few months I have a new approach for my interview tommorow.

I have 2 page crib sheet with overview, issues fixed, and known issues / bugs of a blog I created in .Net. The blog contains daily updates of struggles, issues, and the day-to-day process of creating the site.

Also I will give the course outline from my school's intro .Net course detailing what I did in the course.

I never really did this in the past, is this a good addition?

Anyone know of a service that offers an API to a virtual phone? Basically, I am looking for something that I can use to write acceptance tests for a twilio app, and I need a service that can simulate sending and receiving SMS messages, with a working phone number, just as if it were a real phone.

One option is to write a manual wrapper over the google voice web interface, as described here: http://kalinchuk.com/?p=37

But I'd rather have a real service with a proper API, if anyone knows of one. Thanks.

@gaming_mouse how many messages are you planning on sending? I'd be tempted to just buy credits for an actual API (I recommend Clickatell) as they are very cheap. If you're going to be sending 100's $'s worth of SMS though then it's obviously not ideal.

Even if you don't want to do this register for Clickatell anyway, they may have tools like you describe.

Edit: Oops just saw you want to receive SMS's from the client as well, that's quite expensive last time I checked it out!

Interesting idea... I'll think about this.

g_m,

mocks yo. your tests will be slow as **** and flakey as **** if they have to talk to a real API somewhere every time.

mocks are for unit tests (which i'll do as well), but i want to do acceptance tests here. you have to test the real thing for that.

Do you know if I can pass a query to get more than last 15 results?

Quite an amusing thread on the Apple discussion forums. Looks like someone port scanning and sending SQL injection attacks which are getting picked up by printers which are then printing the attack strings.

Is the easiest way for me to get a script to run on my JustHost server just utilizing a cron job? I've never used one before, so I have a couple of questions. I can auto fill in how often I want it to execute, but there is a command input as well. Is this the correct command?

Amazon have just launched their new service - Amazon Glacier. Providing very cheap storage (0.01$ per GB per month), but data retrieval can take 3-4 hours. Pretty awesome for a backup solution imo.
