I’ll be delivering two talks (about HTTPS and Fiddler) at the DevReach 2017 conference in Sofia, Bulgaria. It’ll be fun to get back to Europe, and I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and colleagues. Hope to see some of y’all there! -Eric

The Malware Bytes blog post has the details, but the gist of it is that the attackers use JavaScript to probe the would-be victim’s PC for a variety of software. Beyond Kaspersky,Continue reading “Silliness – Fiddler Blocks Malware”
Automatically Evaluating Compressibility

However, the one-Session-at-a-time design of the Transformer tab means it is cumbersome to use to evaluate the compressibility of an entire page orContinue reading “Automatically Evaluating Compressibility”
