November 28th, 2005 by Pascal Meunier in General, Secure IT Practices

I am pleased to announce the availability of the first beta of my_cassandra.php, which can be downloaded from my home page
(change the extension from phps to php after you download it).

Because you get the source code and the custody of your profiles, this version of Cassandra should not generate the privacy concerns that the online version did. As it is under your control you can also run it at the intervals you choose. It is made available under an open source license so you can modify it. It runs under PHP so it should run on almost any platform by changing the path to PHP (from “#!/usr/bin/php -q” for MacOS X).
Enjoy!

P.S.: I already received a patch from Benjamin Lewis from Purdue ITSP, improving robustness while reading a profile. Thanks Ben!
