RSS security issues and useful reading
Ken vanWyk had a really interesting post about Security and Blogging on the SC-L that I though was worth sharing.
Over the last couple weeks, I've been reading up on RSS* in my spare time, having only recently been introduced to this neat mechanism--thanks, Dana!.
(FYI, we even put up an RSS feed of updates/announcements on securecoding.org in order to dive directly into it.) One of my concerns, naturally, has been security, especially since stand-alone RSS aggregators are _relatively_ new, and I couldn't recall having seen many vulnerability advisories on them.
After just a bit of googling, I found several real good sources of information, which I'm including here for anyone that's interested. Most of these have been available for a while, but I thought that they were pretty interesting reads anyway. YMMV...
* RSS stands for "RDF Site Summary" or "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication," depending on whom you ask. If you're not familiar with it, check it out. If you spend time reading through various web sites for news, technical info, and other info, then you REALLY should check it out. RSS can be a tremendous time saver.
