In the latest security tip from the Zend Developer Zone, Cal Evans points out a tool previously mentioned in passing that he feels deserves its own post - PHPSecInfo.
PHPSecInfo is a great tool to use to keep an eye on your production environment. It was written by Ed Finkler of CERIAS, the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security at Purdue University. It is officially a project of the PHP Security Consortium.
The tool allows you to easily run a security audit against your system and find the issues in a familiar phpinfo() style of result. Remember, it’s a starting place - not an ending one. Security is more than just running a script to check once and a while.

From the WaxJelly blog today comes a handy bit of code for anyone out there looking to scrape details from just about any MySpace page out there (quick and easy).
It’s amazing how just a little optimization on the part of myspace makes crawling their site so much easier. We’re going to scrape the user detail (name, age, sex, etc..) from a profile, using the header info…
The script grabs the contents of the given URL, loops through, pulls out the meta tag information and uses that as a key to grab the rest of the user’s information (including name, age, city, state, etc).
