"Git is an extremely fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software." makes no sense to me[/QUOTE]
Think of it as a place to host your code. But way more than just a file upload service. Git is a version control system. This basically means that every file has a "version" to it so that you can go back to previous versions and merge versions of a file with other peoples versions. It's pretty much necessary to use some kind of versioning system (be it mercurial, git or svn) to work effectively on a project with a group of people

I don't know about you, but it's incredibly hard for me to even consider reading the former type. It's almost repellent.
I see so many websites do it, when it just takes two lines to make text a whole lot easier to read.

Or when they use four fonts on one page.
There is nothing wrong with using 4 fonts if you do it right.

'levels' added to PK Russet maps; walking under/over bridges/cliffs/etc.
Decided that the plan is to switch the battle system/etc to classes from the current function sets; it's just good practice although it'll make little difference (and I hate remembering long function names).

Thanks a lot for the tip. I found my site actually looked okay with font size 12px and no change to the line height, but a change to 120% looked a fair deal better. I found 150% to look a little too spaced (of course, it's obvious that a smaller font size would relate to a lesser increase in line height).

Hi there. I'm primarily an application/systems developer, but love the easy share-ability of web development. I'm a major retard when it comes to design, but I love the back-end programming.
Anyway, I recently re-did a website I've had since 2007 or so, and thought that I'd let you dudes fuck it up if you can, and point out errors I've probably made. If you have any ideas for the design, those are welcome too, although I can't promise I'll be experienced enough to implement them :v:
Here it is: [url]http://errur.com/[/url]
It's main/only function is file upload and listing. Nothing important is hosted on the website, and nobody uses it, so knock yourself out. Do your worst.

Both manual and automated testing returned no major results.
You do have a "MAX_FILE_SIZE" parameter directly in the input form - mangling it out of shape did not seem to cause any unwanted behavior, but it's still something you don't want to let the user touch (and if it actually defines the maximum allowed file size, nothing stops someone from uploading 50gb worth of mormon porn).
[B]You should force .html (and variants) to be downloaded[/B] - [URL]http://errur.com/download.php?i=80[/URL] - this [I]can[/I] be a pretty major security flaw, in the right conditions (at this point I could upload my own arbitrary file with some javascript intended to snag session cookies or whatever, and have you or another target visit that page) - actually, [B]you should force downloads for pretty much everything that isn't plain text or an image[/B].
Everything else appears to be solid, it responds well to unexpected requests, yadda yadda yadda, pretty good.
I did figure out your username, however.
[img]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/9/26808301078-orig.png[/img]
Don't worry, you just have strange limits for usernames, mine is " mathias".
Poked around a bit more, besides what I mentioned, it's safe. (tried SSI, phtml, encoded injections, etc)
Thanks a lot man, that's really helpful!
That mime-type problem is definitely not intentional, and I'll look into it immediately.
As for the MAX_FILE_SIZE parameter, I believe I read somewhere ages ago that it was used by the HTTP server to catch large files before transfer, though easily circumvented.
It was never used for anything except that, I am of course running security checks on the server-side as well.
However, after trying some different inputs just now, it doesn't seem to have any effect, so I'll remove it.
Thanks again, I appreciate it!
[B]Edit:[/B]
That username thing wasn't actually supposed to happen. I forgot a space and argument in my code :v:
[cpp]
// Whoops ----------v-------v
if(substr($username, 0) == "" || substr($username, -1) == " ")
{
$errors[] = "Username can't begin nor end with space";
}
[/cpp]
I'm curious though, how did you figure out my username? Did you just guess?
[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;32487225]

Checked your name, and then tried a few different combinations. Your have different error messages for non-existent usernames and incorrect passwords, so all it took was some guessing work.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;32487485]Did you also find his password?[/QUOTE]
I tried some common options with no luck. Then I tried to break the log-in form, with no luck. Then I tried to escalate my account to his, and noticed - @Dr. Magnusson: you're storing the (hashed) password and username as a cookie.
First, you should never store the user's password anywhere (besides the database, again, hashed). Second, you should look into [URL="http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.session.php"]PHP sessions[/URL].
Hey, i normally chill out in the Programming sub-forum but i occaisionally i like to pop over here cause you guys have some interesting stuff!
Anyway, Cosmos.is, Is this just going to be solely for Web-Developers? because i and along with alot of other people would love to use this for different types of programming?
Thanks!

The way it's shaping up, cosmosis will be divided up into 'hubs (think, sub-reddits) which will be user creatable. We see cosmosis as being an ideal way for content creators to get feedback on any work they do, so it's going to be in our best interests to leave the tools fairly open for other types of creators.

I like it! Using the same image as placeholder for all the containers wasn't a very good choice, but they are placeholders, so don't worry about it. If you're under 18, keep your age out of the front page, and one last tip, replace MySQL (an SQL-based database engine) with simply SQL, the language - of which there are various similar dialects. Chances are you will be working with nothing but MySQL, but it looks out of place in that list and, for me, would be a warning sign.
I'd style those links in the list under 'contact'

I originally had SQL but I didn't know how the different dialects varied and I had never really worked with anything else other than MySQL. I'll work on getting different images. Thanks!
