Pete Finnigan's Oracle Security Weblog

Sean Hull made me aware of Jared Still's web site in an email the other day. Jared is the author, along with Andy Duncan of the book Perl for Oracle DBAs published by O'Reilly. This is an excellent book by the way. I was aware of Jared’s old site at cybcon.com for a few years. This old site now forwards to the new home page of JaredStill.com which is a new site Jared has put up. I recognise quite a bit of the content but Jared's site is well worthy of a visit. He has written some excellent articles and there is some material there for us Oracle security types. Particularly Jared’s paper on Encryption in Oracle Databases - Data Obfuscation and Encryption is well worth reading.

Also Jared has used a sitebuilder software called minisitebuilder from Lazarus Internet Development which looks quite interesting. I will be taking a closer look as i am still on the look out for a good content manager for this site. I talked about this on new years day in an entry called "Oracle security and content management".

Anyway Jareds site is a worth a visit in my opinion.
