I have an annoying situation where I create RDP windows and they seem to always start the same (but wrong) size. For example, one of my sessions starts “maximized” but only 1280×1024 sized so it ends up having scrollbars inside my 1920×1200 monitor. I then have to de-maximize it, move the window somewhere, and drag […]
I needed a quantifiable test that can measure svn performance during a check out. This script take 2 arguments, number of checkouts and parallelism. For example, if I want to run 100 checkout 2 at a time ./load.sh 100 2 or 100 checkouts 50 at a time ./load.sh 100 50 #!/bin/bash i=0; url=”<a href=”http://mysvnrepo” while”>http://mysvnrepo” while</a> [ $i -lt $1 ]; do […]
Coveros Labs recently received funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) through the Active Authentication program. The goal of this program is to develop “novel ways of validating the identity of [a] person … that focus on the unique aspects of the individual through the use of software-based biometrics.” Traditional authentication techniques require […]
Inspecting source code for security vulnerabilities is an important part in any secure development process. While this can be done manually, it’s much easier to start with a static analysis tool that can scan code for known vulnerabilities. Statistics out there claim anywhere from 30-50% of coding vulnerabilities can be found with a code scanner. For .NET […]
One of the biggest trends in issues in web application testing today is Security Testing. Most people know their web application is important for their business; no one wants a big security breach. With hackers becoming more and more sophisticated, and vulnerabilities becoming easier and easier to exploit the odds are not in your favor. […]
Coveros has been offering downloadable copies of our integrated SecureCI™ platform as a VMware™ virtual machine image for quite a while now.

Most of us like things done the right way and (more often than not) our way. Nothing can be more infuriating than looking through poorly documented logs or code, and trying to understand poor documentation and what it was meant to get across. During development we often look to setting up good coding practices that […]
The focus of continuous delivery isn’t just about being quicker when developing and deploying, but rather delivering business value continuously. And we only see business value from software when it is made available to end users. I heard a project lead explain that his team had a continuous delivery process. They used source control management […]
SecureCI is an open-source continuous integration solution. We’ve assembled a number of open-source tools that we use, installed them in a VMware image and configured them to work together. SecureCI is packaged as a virtual machine that can be run with the VMware Player that way you can be up and running in minutes without […]
