A signal of the future WebAssembly/emscripten is giving us: a database served on a static web page

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/17

From a quite a while back; apparently it ended up in the drafts in stead of the blog queue:

[Wayback/Archive] Ian Miell on Twitter: “A signal of the future WebAssembly/emscripten is giving us: a database served on a static web page: … The possibilities are dizzying. Also, I’ve thought for a while that if I had to put money on it, SQLite will outlast every other database out there.”

The combination of Emscripten and WebAssembly is cool as it allows you to run C/C++ based code in most Web Browsers at near-native speed (though the standard is open and can just as easily outside that realm).

[Wayback/Archive] Hosting SQLite databases on Github Pages – (or any static file hoster) – phiresky’s blog:

Miguel de Icaza on Twitter: “This is so beautiful – SQL Injection attacks but for GPT-3 and other AI text models.” / Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/06

2.5 years after Miguel summarised the state of AI text models, and given SQL Injection (because of mixing control and data channels) still is a thing in the 2020’s, I wonder both how much improvement there has been on the AI side of things and how much it is used in pen testing.

So I archived the below tweets to be able to read back and figure out on the current state.

Payload Box

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/11

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Payload Box.

It has lots of examples on payloads for various kinds of injections that are excellent teaching material.

Covered are Cross Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection, Server Side Template Injection, RFI/LFI, Command Injection, CSV Injection, Directory, Open Redirect and XML External Entity (XXE) Injection.

Got there when inspired by:

MySQL: Boiling JFrogs | Die wunderbare Welt von Isotopp

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/23

I love how Kristian Köhntopp often turns series of valuable tweets in a blog post. [Wayback/Archive] MySQL: Boiling JFrogs | Die wunderbare Welt von Isotopp is no different and has much more than the few quotes below (especially about the process of finding the solutions):

[Wayback/Archive] Welcome to the BAG: The Dutch Building and Addresses database – Bert Hubert’s writings

Bert made a test page for it too: [Wayback/Archive] berthub.eu/pcode/2513AA/14 (postal code for “Binnenhof”)

And a repository: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – berthubert/bagconv: Convert Dutch building/dwelling administration into a simpler format

The BAG (Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen) information, which is maintained by the Dutch Kadaster (Cadastre), allows bug reporting, which is processed remarkably quickly: [Wayback/Archive] Postcode + huisnummer niet uniek in Emmen? – Datasets / BAG – Geoforum

Via: [Wayback/Archive] bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺: “I’ve updated my conversion of the official Dutch address, postcode, building database (BAG) with the July 2024 release. Description in English, API, code, CSV files can be found on …” – Fosstodon

MySQL: Row Literals | Die wunderbare Welt von Isotopp

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/07

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] MySQL: Row Literals | Die wunderbare Welt von Isotopp

Question on the Libera/#mysql IRC channel:
Is there a way to split a simple select into multiple returned rows? For example, select 1, 2, 3 to be returned as rows?
This is actually asking for a table literal notation. I know of four ways to construct a table literal in MySQL:

They are based on UNION ALL, JSON_TABLE and VALUES statement (the latter in two forms). I knew about the first (which I used in other database environments), not about the others.

SQL SERVER – How to get historical deadlock Information from System Health Extended Events? – SQL Authority with Pinal Dave

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/29

A friend of mine needed to figure out SQL Server deadlocks a while ago.

I hadn’t been doing stuff like this for quite some time, but remembered that unlike old SQL Server days, it had become relatively easy.

These links show you how:

Some notes on codepoints.net and beta.codepoints.net

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/07

At the time of writing a lot of this might be more recent, but for quite some time codepoints.net had not been updated with code point information newer Unicode releases.

Basically it was stuck at Unicode version 8.0 with some 120k glyphs. At the time of writing Unicode version 15.0 is in beta and the difference between 15.0 and 8.0 is some 24k glyphs.

So I had a quick twitter chat with the author and jotted down the links in this blog post so I won’t forget them.

There I learned it was open source (I think it is the only Unicode codepoint site that is).

Here it goes:
