tech > resources
This obviously is not an exhaustive list of everything, but I tend to use it as a reference point for things that are hard to search for that I want to jot down somewhere.
internet
- IP Index Encyclopedia
- If you get hammered by IPs all the time, this can quickly help you track it down. Schools and their pesky students are the easiest-to-find offenders.
*nix
- Solutions for tracing UNIX applications
- How to examine, trace, and debug out of control or hung processes .
data
- Jeffrey's Exif Viewer
- View EXIF data for any image, either by upload or URL.
- Online UML/Database Schema Creator
- Just like you'd draw on the board, or in Visio, you can do it hear, and then export the actual MySQL commands. I haven't used it much, but it looks super handy.
- MySQL Development Tools
- I'm tired of using phpMyAdmin to browse tables and run queries when SQL Server Management Studio is so nice. I'm going to use one of these next time.
- Freebase
- A database of everything (or aiming for it) in a more structured format than Wikipedia. You can actually query Freebase and pull out specific data in reliable data types. As any community maintained project, there may be holes. But still, a great resource. It's data enabled the Wal-mart Expansion video by providing founding dates for all Wal-mart stores, and latitude and longitude of all Us Zip Codes.
security
- XSS Cheatsheet
- A good cheatsheet of XSS to help you test your filter. Of course it's generally a bad idea to code against this list, it could never be exhaustive. If your filter fails, it'd be a better idea to go back to the drawing board understanding the broad "why" of why it failed and not the "Okay, I need to look for two slashes" of why it failed.
