Let's make the web faster - Google Code
What would be possible if browsing the web was as fast as turning the pages of a magazine? We invite you to join us in exploring and innovating across the entire spectrum of performance - from Internet protocols to the browser to website development. Together, let's make the web faster!
About - Scalable Internet Architectures
As millions of users flood the Internet, websites must be able to handle vast numbers of users. Theo Schlossnagle's Scalable Internet Architecture teaches developers both good and bad design methodologies for building new sites, and how to scale existing websites to robust, high-availability websites. Primarily example-based, the book discusses major topics in Web architectural design, presenting existing solutions and how they fit. Schlossnagle introduces new and innovative concepts to solving traditionally expensive problems without a large technology budget. Using open source and proprietary examples, the book discusses best practice design methodologies for building new sites, as well as appropriately scaling both growing and shrinking sites. Scalable Internet Architecture illustrates the progression from anecdotal conclusions to real-world, practical results and often how the two are askew. Topics include: clustering, databases, high-availability, load-balancing, and caching architectures

WebCastellum - Open Source Web Application Firewall
Jede Java Webanwendung, welche Zugriff auf sensible Unternehmensdaten ermöglicht, sollte im Sinne einer mehrschichtigen Sicherheits-architektur durch eine Web Application Firewall (WAF) abgesichert werden. Mit der kostenlosen Open Source WAF WebCastellum wird dies ermöglicht.
WebCastellum lässt sich sehr einfach in bestehende oder neue Java Web-Applikationen integrieren. Damit steht für die meisten Anwendungen ein umfassender Grundschutz zur Verfügung. Für ein individuelles Customizing und eine weitergehende Steigerung des Schutzgrades empfehlen wir unsere entsprechenden Servicepakete. Sollten Sie das Customizing lieber selber durchführen wollen, empfehlen wir das WebCastellum Benutzerhandbuch.
Category:OWASP Stinger Project - OWASP
Developers consistently implement sporadic, ad-hoc input validation mechanisms for web applications. Lack of a centralized and well-defined input validation mechanism opens the application to a variety of attacks: including SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and Command Injection. The OWASP Stinger Project aims to develop a centralized input validation component which can be easily applied to existing or developmental applications. Using a declarative security model, Stinger has the ability to validate all HTTP requests coming into an application. Stinger is such a simplistic yet strong validation engine that organizations have begun integrating it into their software development life-cycle.
CWE - 2009 CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors
The 2009 CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors is a list of the most significant programming errors that can lead to serious software vulnerabilities. They occur frequently, are often easy to find, and easy to exploit. They are dangerous because they will frequently allow attackers to completely take over the software, steal data, or prevent the software from working at all.
The list is the result of collaboration between the SANS Institute, MITRE, and many top software security experts in the US and Europe. It leverages experiences in the development of the SANS Top 20 attack vectors (http://www.sans.org/top20/) and MITRE's Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) (http://cwe.mitre.org/). MITRE maintains the CWE web site, with the support of the US Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division, presenting detailed descriptions of the top 25 programming errors along with authoritative guidance for mitigating and avoiding them. The CWE site also contains data on more than 700 additional programming errors, design errors, and architecture errors that can lead to exploitable vulnerabilities.
The main goal for the Top 25 list is to stop vulnerabilities at the source by educating programmers on how to eliminate all-too-common mistakes before software is even shipped. The list will be a tool for education and awareness that will help programmers to prevent the kinds of vulnerabilities that plague the software industry. Software consumers could use the same list to help them to ask for more secure software. Finally, software managers and CIOs can use the Top 25 list as a measuring stick of progress in their efforts to secure their software.

SmartSprites: CSS Sprite Generator Done Right
SmartSprites will let you easily introduce and maintain CSS sprites in your designs. SmartSprites parses special directives you can insert into your original CSS to mark individual images to be turned into sprites. It then builds sprite images from the collected images and automatically inserts the required CSS properties into your style sheet, so that the sprites are used instead of the individual images.

In other words, no tedious copying & pasting to your CSS when adding, removing or changing sprited images. Just work with your CSS and original images as usual and have SmartSprites automatically transform them to the sprite-powered version when necessary.
