I know I started this blog in December 2005 but I wasn’t quite sure when, so I took a nose and it turns out it was December 7th which means this blog is three years old today. In three years I have written 316 entries (including this one) which is an average of 8 a month which is pretty good, and I’ve never missed a month.

Saturday, December 6th, 2008BAM Vulnerabilities
Thursday, December 4th, 2008BAM is a company that provides services to Students Unions around the country primarily dealing with union websites. My Students’ Guild signed up with them last year to provide our website, from the off I was quite opposed to the move anticipating it would turn into a complete joke which, naturally, it has. BAM uses their own proprietary in house developed content management system, from the outside it looks bloody awful and I am reliably informed that the administration side of things is worse. Last month a meeting was held to discuss the Guild website and what was wrong with it, the general consensus was — everything. Pushed on by this I decided to take a poke around and see if I could find any vulnerabilities, I didn’t have to look hard, it only took me 10 minutes to find the first. I found two more before I decided I would stop in case I scared myself senseless.
