• Here is the slide deck for my talk on BasicIntrusionDetectionWithPHPIDS. If you were one of the 19 attendees, please give feedback at Joind.in

  • My proposal to the phpTek13 Uncon sessions on basic intrusion detection using PHPIDS was accepted! Time to make the slides and live up to people’s expectations…

  • In my previous post I was trying to get PHP 5.5 beta 1 compiled on my OSX laptop. It turns out that Mountain Lion ships with a version of Bison from 2006. Really Apple? There is a difference between being a hipster and being old. Let’s fix this! If you have not read it already…
