AbuseHelper community develops a framework and a socio-economical plan around it to bring the community tighter together. AbuseHelper is a modular and (hopefully) scalable and robust framework to help you in your abuse handling. Initial boostrap was collaboration between CERT-EE and Clarified ... [More] Networks, with the help of CERT-FI. Starting from the beginning of 2010 - after the boostrap phase - we will be welcoming other contributors and users. GoalsTo bring further focus to somewhat scattered Internet abuse handling scene. For example a lot of different organizations are developing their own abuse handling systems. To help the community in taking the next step by moving from works-for-me systems to modular, scalable, openly developed and shared ones. by unifying varying workflows and ter [Less]

idiokit is an experimental Python library for doing asynchronous stuff. It currently contains: An infrastructure for writing streams, Python generators that act as lightweight pseudo-threads that communicate through message passing. Tools for combining streams, by e.g. piping them together. ... [More] Incomplete implementations of asynchronous TCP connectivity and XMPP and IRC protocols. Apart from trying out new stuff, some of idiokit's goals are: Avoid dependencies outside Python's standard library. Currently the only dependency is Python 2.5 or higher (Python 3.x is not supported though). Relatively easy integration with most foreign event loops (such as PyQt4). There are some caveats, of course: Windows is currently not supported. Python's standard library has to be compiled with SSL support for the XMPP connectivity to work. idiokit liberally borrows (adopts, steals) ideas from great open source Python projects such as Twisted and PyXMPP. You'd probably be better off using them anyway. [Less]

Does ​your​ library check TLS certificates properly? Does your TLS/SSL library check certificates properly? Broken certificate checks seems to be an overlooked issue. Handling certificates is surprisingly complex, and calls for extra attention. TryTLS is a tool for the software and library ... [More] developers, vulnerability researchers, and end-users, who want to use TLS safely. We hope to help you to test certificate handling easily. We support systematic and readily planned tests and try make integrating your favorite language and library easy. [Less]
