Not really anything to do with security, but I find this interesting.It's something I told many times before. Now insiders within Wikipedia feel the same. They are going to start a "new" Wikipedia which will be called: Veropedia. I did like the idea of Wikipedia, but it has become more and more a place where every silly thing is written down, and a lot is inaccurate also.

You know I love Wikipedia, and now I love them even more. Ever heard of a Wikipedia reconnaissance tool? Now you can with the Wikiscanner. With it you can list anonymous wikipedia edits from interesting organizations. You see, that is why I will never complain about Wikipedia again.Try it out Mozilla result

From day one I hate that name: Wikipedia. It's a meta language demon that is haunting me in my dreams, they abuse URI's and have those horrible names for everything.

I wrote about it before, they think it's okay to have XSS and SQL injection, I won't throw it up again but it's quite true. So if they don't care, I have few next. Let's see how quickly those are going to be patched ^^ Am I evil?  read more »

So what's up with that Wikipedia? a sudden change of heart? What happened?  read more »
