On the research list as it seems a lot wider than HTTP Fiddler:
Paros Proxy
Paros is a valuable testing tool for your security and vulnerability testing. Paros can be used to spider/crawl your entire site, and then execute canned vulnerability scanner tests. But Paros goes beyond that, it comes with a built in utility that can proxy traffic. This Paros Proxy utility can be used to tamper or manipulate any http or https traffic on the fly. This makes some of the more interesting security types of testing. It will help you isolate potential area’s of security concern and then manual attempt to perform the type of testing you desire.
Paros Proxy
Paros also comes with a built in Session ID analyzer. It will display a graph of all the types of Session ID’s it has been presented with using a multiple threaded session initiator. You then can determine if the graph appears random enough for the Session ID. It is a pretty unique and interesting tool to use. Although typically most developers will rely upon another technology tomcat, apache, or some other application to generate Session ID’s. This is not always the case and as such a Session ID analysis should be performed. Sometimes the Session ID will not be randomized enough and the hash used to create the Session ID is easily predictable.
Paros also comes with a built in Fuzzer. You will need to generate your own Fuzzer library to use the Fuzzer, but it will perform all the fuzzing for you.

I’m experimenting with the Posting categories overview page as a prequel to a proper tag cloud (and a series of posts on how to get there).
Please let me know in the comments which of the below ones you like most:
- Left:
HTML tree with post count per category
- Middle:
HTML tree with font size indicating post count
- Right:
HTML tree with post count per category and font size indicating post count
(For comparison, you need a big screen; the most popular choice will survive on the Posting categories page).

Handy when copy-pasting stuff from the Web or Word Processor and your tools keep too much formatting:
HTML Tags Stripper is designed to strip HTML tags from the text. It will also strip embedded JavaScript code, style information (style sheets), as well as code inside php/asp tags ()
Edit:
John Kaster indicated that http://ckeditor.com/demo works nicely too, but I could not get their “paste from word” to emit nice clean un-styled HTML for me.
WordOff does work, and cleans away all the HTML tags (I with it didn’t clean structure tags and anchor tags, which you can keep with HTML Tags Stripper).

While speaking at the German BASTA 2011 Fall conference, I noticed a German HTML 5 Cheat Sheet.
I recently found out that a PDF and XPS of that sheet is available.
Here is the English translation of the German download page (I did some editing on the Google Translate result):
Free: HTML5 Cheat Sheet
Know-how | 06/27/2011
MSDN Germany has put on line a cheat sheet with the most important new HTML5 tags and attributes. The handy two-page information informs web developers about how to use the audio, video and canvas element through JavaScript, what CSS3, and geolocation can provide you with and how websites with “Pinned Sites” can become even more useful. Simply download the free PDF (2.17 MB) or XPS file (601 KB), print it, and place it next to your keyboard!
Note that the PDF and XPS are German, but very handy even though your German is not perfect.

Greg Hewgill published a bunch Stack Overflow ebooks and StackExchange stats.
His readme explains a bit more on the books.
The blog he maintains makes up for some nice reading too.
Be sure to read the blog entry on the ebooks.

Quite a while ago, user bobince wrote great answer on why not to parse html with RegEx.
Somehow people fail to recognize the brilliance of the answer, and try to simplify it into something like “don’t, use an XML or HTML parser in stead”.
bobince even posted some nice contra-examples that are impossible to parse in RegEx (heck, even most regular HTML and XML parsers have difficulties with them).
So: enjoy the beauty of the answer while it is still locked for editing.

In the past I wrote a few blog posts on posting sourcecode in WordPress.
Nick Hodges‘ last Flotsam and Jetsam blog post pointed me to the SyntaxHighlighter JavaScript that is used by WordPress and many other engines/sites.
Their site contains an even more elaborate list of supported languages.
I had the basic list right in my last post, but was missing all the aliases (which often are easier than the longer proper names).
This is the new table adapted from their list: Read the rest of this entry »

Last week, I blogged that we should move away from Flash to HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, commenting on Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash post announcing support for HTML5 including video playback of H.264 encoded video.
In the mean time, the Microsoft Internet Explorer team announced that in IE9 they are going to support HTML5 and that H.264 will be the only supported video encoding standard.
There is a truckload of hardware that supports H.264 decoding acceleration.
So the movement is from a plethora of video encoding standards into one broadly accepted H.264 standard.
When you look at the combination of support in HTML5/H.264 for all the major browsers, only FireFox has not announced support. This is probably because H.264 is not a free (as in beer) standard: commercial use requires payment. But – if I read the H.264 article right – content that is free for end users requires no royalties to be paid.
This combined hardware and software support means that there is a pretty strong backing for H.264!

Steve Jobs just posted his Thoughts on Flash.
Let me add another thought: I hate flash apps.
Flash should go, and we all should go for HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.
The primary reason I dislike Flash is similar to this quote from Steve Jobs’ post: Read the rest of this entry »
