How to follow good practices, even with Bash!
The shell is an odd beast. Although it goes against every current trend in software engineering (strong typing, compile checks over runtime checks, …), shell scripts are here to stay, and still constitute an important part of every developer’s life.
The weird thing about shell scripts is that even strong advocates of good practices gladly forget all they know when it comes to shell scripting.
Google security researchers discovered the issue.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon are being accused of helping the FBI exploit a vulnerability that allowed investigators to gather information on users of Tor, an online tool that allows individuals around the globe to browse the Internet anonymously.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon are being accused of helping the FBI exploit a vulnerability that allowed investigators to gather information on users of Tor, an online tool that allows individuals around the globe to browse the Internet anonymously.
Tor Project, the not-for-profit group behind the technology, said on Wednesday that academics from Carnegie Mellon University made “at least $1 million” by helping the FBI de-anonymize Tor users earlier this year during the course of a criminal investigation.
An a new interview Apple CEO Tim Cook takes a stance against a new law proposed in the UK.
Apple got into hot water with governments and law enforcement over the iMessage end-to-end encryption. Apple says that there is no back door to decrypt and access the information. That means police cannot see what's on a suspect's iPhone. Governments cannot intercept terrorist communication. This is why UK's Prime Minister David Cameron wants to pass a new law that requires tech companies such as Apple to offer governments back doors into encrypted communication services.
Soon, you may see a warning in Gmail that tells you that an email has arrived over an unencrypted connection. Gmail HTTPS...
Gmail HTTPS encryption is already used by itself as a default for connections between servers and browsers, but for quite a long time the standard for e-mails was to leave them unencrypted. The good news is that email security is getting better. “When you send or receive emails with one of these providers, these messages are as open to snoopers as a postcard in the mail”, said Google in a blog post.
Essentially, Snowden is making the security case for using ad blockers.
"Everybody should be running adblock software, if only from a safety perspective. . . .
"We've seen internet providers like Comcast, AT&T, or whoever it is, insert their own ads into your plaintext http connections. . . . As long as service providers are serving ads with active content that require the use of Javascript to display, that have some kind of active content like Flash embedded in it, anything that can be a vector for attack in your web browser - you should be actively trying to block these. Because if the service provider is not working to protect the sanctity of the relationship between reader and publisher, you have not just a right but a duty to take every effort to protect yourself in response."
Malware spotted on law enforcement recording gear
A US IT security company says it found copies of the Conficker malware infecting police body cameras.
Florida-based iPower reports that body cameras it received from supplier Martel Electronics were loaded with 2009's baddest botware.
Researchers Jarrett Pavao and Charles Auchinleck found that when plugged into a PC, the Martel cameras attempted to execute the Worm:Win32/Conficker.B!inf variant.
Privacy advocates warn feds about surreptitious cross-device tracking.
Privacy advocates are warning federal authorities of a new threat that uses inaudible, high-frequency sounds to surreptitiously track a person's online behavior across a range of devices, including phones, TVs, tablets, and computers.
The ultrasonic pitches are embedded into TV commercials or are played when a user encounters an ad displayed in a computer browser. While the sound can't be heard by the human ear, nearby tablets and smartphones can detect it. When they do, browser cookies can now pair a single user to multiple devices and keep track of what TV commercials the person sees, how long the person watches the ads, and whether the person acts on the ads by doing a Web search or buying a product.
