I recently had an issue with https functionality in WordPress when working behind a reverse proxy like Pound or nginx. I’m running Pound, so the solution for me was to add specific proto headers to the pound.cfg file; ## HTTPS listening ports ListenHTTPS HeadRemove “HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO” HeadRemove “X_FORWARDED_PROTO” AddHeader “HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO: https” AddHeader “X_FORWARDED_PROTO: https” ## HTTP […]

Well ToorCamp 2012 is over, and there is plenty to show for it. I ended up going after winning a ticket by answering a GeekWire tech-tune challenge correctly, and offered to write a few “camp journal” style posts for them while I was at it. GeekWire – Arrival (pdf) – Day 1 (pdf) – Day […]

It took a while, but I eventually recovered from the DocumentIO debacle and obtained an Axis 240Q video server. I installed it with some BNC splitters so my home security cameras will be recorded locally by my crappy QSee DVR, while 2 miles away at my downtown datacenter, open source ZoneMinder records the IP streams […]

A while back I posted a video of me starting my ’05 Hayabusa using my RFID implant. I had always intended to post a diagram but never got around to it. Finally I was prodded into action by a forum member looking for advice setting up his own GSXR. My actual wiring is a bit […]

A while back I posted about resetting HP iLO card passwords through software. I’m following that post up with one about doing the same with Dell’s DRAC remote access cards. You may have forgotten the password, mistyped when setting a new password, or even acquired a used DRAC card with unknown an password. The good […]

After the shoe bomber we now have to remove our shoes at the security line. After the liquid bomber, no more water bottles or liquids over 3oz. After the underwear bomber, airports are deploying equipment to essentially remove our underwear for us. As shown in these images, scanners are great for catching weapons stuffed into […]

Manufacturers have started adding wireless capabilities to many implantable medical devices, including pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators. This allows doctors to access vital information and send commands to these devices quickly, but security researchers have raised concerns that it could also make them vulnerable to attack. A couple guys from the local University of Washington… …showed […]
