New Project: hedge HTTP Request Parser

2012-05-14T18:59:41Z

There’s a new project I started, and I called it hedge. It consists of an HTTP request parser written with Treetop, the simple Ruby DSL for writing PEGs. It is by no means a complete parser, I’ve started this mainly for fun and to have my own parser ready for other projects, so I can adapt it to my personal needs.

However, feel free to use this if you find it useful in any way. As always, I’m hosting hedge on github.

Vim Plugins

2012-05-01T09:21:54Z

As I was updating some of my dotfiles, I also started reorganizing the way my .vimrc is layed out. It then came to me that it would be a nice addition to this website to add a list of my most often used vim plugins, if only to remind myself what to download when I set up a new system. So, let’s get started, in alphabetical order:

ack.vim Ack wrapper
Align Align statements
cream-showinvisibles Toggle view of invisible characters
fugitive.vim Git wrapper
gnupg.vim Transparent editing of GPG encrypted files
NERD tree Filesystem explorer
QuickFixNotes Add notes to files
scratch.vim Create a scratch buffer
surround.vim Easier “surrounding” of text
taglist.vim Source code browser
Vim-LaTeX LaTeX file editing
YankRing.vim Add an Emacs like “kill-ring”
ZenCoding.vim Abbreviation expansion, mainly for quick HTML typing

I do not have all of those plugins in daily use, as some of them are rather special. I also tend to forget about having them installed, until I rediscover their usefulness at a later point. The list is not exhaustive, but should include all the major plugins I use. I might add to this list in the future, if more plugins arise from the depth of my .vim/ directory that I forgot about.

Minor site cleanups

2011-06-06T15:13:11Z

I finally did some minor cleanups on the site. The following things
changed:

As I use tmux now instead of screen wherever possible, I’ve added my tmux.conf to the dotfiles section.
I orphaned all my AUR packages due to lack of time. So there’s a new project category now, Discontinued, for all the projects I might abandon at some point.
There’s a new project, rem2jorte. Please see the project page for further details.
Removed the identi.ca link because I don’t really use it. Twitter has won. Instead, I added my github page where all my public projects reside.

New project: remparser

2011-04-17T16:43:57Z

Without further ado: a new project on github, remparser.

The remparser Treetop parser parses the output of remind -s into a (hopefully useful) data structure. An example script outputting YAML code is included.

Some more details are in the README.

Website Updates

2010-08-08T16:25:38Z

It’s been a while, I know. Busy as ever. So to prove that I’ve not entirely dismissed this website, some minor updates in Projects:

I’ve updated some dotfiles and added two new: My elinks.conf for elinks and taskrc for task.
The Various section now mentions the Metasploit JBoss AS exploit modules I contributed and updated recently.

The JBoss modules would’ve been worth their own blog post I guess, but I was too busy. I’ve mentioned them in this RedTeam blog post where I announced a new JBoss paper. They are in the official main branch now, so you if you have a recent revision, they should be available. I’ll give a lightning talk at BruCON about some of the ideas behind them.
