WordPress and JavaScript Hijacking

13 April 2007

I read this paper that Bruce Schneier linked to regarding JavaScript hijacking. Seems to me that WordPress plugin developers who piggyback on WordPress's builtin security features shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Judging from what little buzz there was, I think that's probably true, but I'm interested in others' thoughts.

TrackBack Ping Bookmarklet

5 May 2005

I've made a TrackBack Ping Bookmarklet for Firefox -- and mine actually works! Others I've seen don't use the "post" method, which is required by the TrackBack specification. Here's my TrackBack Ping Bookmarklet. Drag it to your toolbar. Select the URL to which you want to send a TrackBack Ping, then click the Bookmarklet. Fill in your blog information, and click the button. TODO: Add a method to pull your blog information from the TrackBack RDF you should have on your permalink page.
