Meet ratproxy, our passive web security assessment tool

,----[ Quote ]
| We're happy to announce that we've just open-sourced ratproxy, a passive web 
| application security assessment tool that we've been using internally at 
| Google. This utility, developed by our information security engineering team, 
| is designed to transparently analyze legitimate, browser-driven interactions 
| with a tested web property and automatically pinpoint, annotate, and 
| prioritize potential flaws or areas of concern.

Google Yahoo ad deal faces probe

,----[ Quote ]
| A formal antitrust investigation into a deal struck between Yahoo and Google

| The Washington Post said investigators will also demand documents from other 
| large internet and media companies. 
| 
| Together Google and Yahoo claim nearly 80% of the web search market and 
| agreed to give antitrust authorities 100 days to look at the deal before 
| going ahead.

Google Is Evil in a Flash

,----[ Quote ]
| What that means in practice is that one of the major downsides of using 
| Flash – its invisibility to search engines like Google - has partly 
| disappeared. That, in turn, is likely to encourage more Web designers to 
| incorporate it into their sites – making the experience more like television 
| than the Internet. Flash not only takes the control away from the visitor, it 
| renders its content opaque in terms of links.

Google learns to crawl Flash

,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, web designers faced challenges if they chose to develop a site
| in Flash because the content they included was not indexable by search
| engines. They needed to make extra effort to ensure that their content was
| also presented in another way that search engines could find.
