Management-speak

Just saw this: "Leverage use of …".

I fully expect to see "Leverage leverage of …" within a year.

Notes from DIMVA 2008

While attending [DIMVA 2008](http://www.dimva2008.org/), I was making notes, like when attending [DeepSec](http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/blog/2007/notes-from-deepsec-2007/) last year. Slides from the talks are currently not available, the web site only lets you buy the proceedings. I hope the notes are useful.

Introducing audit-viewer

I have been working on a GUI tool for simple viewing, searching and summarizing of Linux audit logs.

The first release is now available at [`fedorahosted.org`](https://fedorahosted.org/audit-viewer/). Test it, break it, tell me what you miss!

mlocate at fedorahosted.org

[`mlocate`](http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/blog/mlocate/) is now hosted [at `fedoraproject.org`](https://fedorahosted.org/mlocate/) as well.

This makes an upstream bug tracker and a public Mercurial repository available.
Hopefully it will be possible to submit `mlocate` translations using Transifex at [`translate.fedoraproject.org`](http://translate.fedoraproject.org) in a few days.

Packages moving out…

`libuser`, `tmpwatch` and `usermode` were previously only published as SRPMS in rawhide, with a somewhat-public CVS at `elvis.redhat.com`.

Thanks to the cool Fedora administrators, all three packages now have a proper upstream home at [`fedorahosted.org`](https://fedorahosted.org/):

* [`libuser`](https://fedorahosted.org/libuser/)
* [`tmpwatch`](https://fedorahosted.org/tmpwatch/)
* [`usermode`](https://fedorahosted.org/usermode/)

A security lesson learned

Before deciding to leave the default password on a WiFi router unchanged (to avoid the hassle of remember the password later), be *extremely* sure the router's administration web server is only available from the wired interface.
