It has been almost a week since I last posted on GNUCITIZEN, and that is mainly because I’ve been all over the place with my current work. It is good to see that there is so much development in the world of Web security. I see that, after all, we made a change. At least people talk about the so called future generation of Web attacks, but, unfortunately, the general population of web security experts are far behind the up-to-date material. This is what I call the incubation/hibernation period. It takes some time until everyone grasps the raw product.

In my work, I need to stay on the top of the current trends. It is not easy and I really doubt that I can do that for too long, but being there has its own benefits. It was like 6 months ago when I started to put my work on GNUCITIZEN and I am definitely happy about the result so far. I hope it remains the same for the future.Speaking about the future, there are a number of things to expect very soon. First of all, the long anticipated XSS Book, which I am co-authoring with Seth Fogie, Mr. Grossman, Robert and Anton, is about to be realised next month. For sure, that book will provide you with some food for thought. Then it comes OWASP in May 16th-17th, Italy. There I am going to present a new exploitation framework I am currently working on and discuss some advance Web2.0 hacking techniques. It will definitely be fun to spend a couple of nice days in Milan (a.k.a. Milano).

Yes, I am still here. Still alive, enjoying the awesome (you know what I mean) English whether, backing steaks, frying chips,

… excuse me, may I have a biscuit please… it goes s well with my tee.

, and writing a lot of code. Apache Ant is definitely driving me mad but I am getting the grip of it. JavaScript is still such a mass but it will get better and what is all the fuzz about JavaScript2. Leave the language alone!

So let me finish these two lines of code here and have some time alone. I’ve been messing around with this thing for two hours. It is time for a long and well deserved break.
