- wanted to create a more portable script to test for directory traversal issues. Download it from here:
- description is as follows:
# Sometimes you end up on systems where you don't have administrative
# access. In spite of that you need to do a network/security test/audit.
# That's the point of this script. It's a very basic port of a dot2moon.py
# to test for directory traversal attacks against web servers
# and relies on utilities found on most UNIX/Linux systems.
#
# It basically tests various URLs against a base URL and looks for
# HTTP return codes.
#
# Obviously, I could have included automated crawling and bot
# capabilities but given my experiences previously with having to
# maintain up keep against counterbot technology have decided to leave
# it out.
#
# As this is the very first version of the program it may be VERY buggy.
# Please test prior to deployment in a production environment.

- “Although Turkey has long been a participant in the development of the F-35 program, the US Senate had sought to block Turkey from receiving the stealth warplanes through language in the National Defense Authorization Act amid a deterioration of the US-Turkey relationship,” CNN reported.
Israel, which has a strained relationship with Turkey despite officially being allies, has also reportedly expressed concerns about the sale of the fighter jets to Ankara.
Israel worries that Turkey may leak secret details of the planes to Moscow or they may be sold on to enemy nations, Hadashot TV reported.
Sources in Israel were also concerned because the sale of 100 planes to Turkey will give Ankara a numerical advantage. Israel is slated to receive only 50 of the F-35 jets with the option of purchasing another 25.
Israel received its first two F-35 fighter jets in late December 2016 and declared them operational a year later.
The fifth-generation fighter jet has been lauded as a “game-changer” by the Israeli military, not only for its offensive and stealth capabilities, but also for its ability to connect its systems with other aircraft and form an information-sharing network.
US officials are reportedly worried about its NATO ally’s desire to purchase Russia’s advanced S-400 anti-aircraft system, which is not compatible with NATO systems.
Congress is also concerned about the direction in which Turkey has been moving under authoritarian, pro-Islamic President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Turkey has grown closer to both Russia and Iran, all of which have intervened militarily in Syria with at least some degree of coordination.
The three countries have also met numerous times, supposedly to formulate some kind of joint peace plan for the country. Erdoğan openly traded threats earlier this year with US President Donald Trump over the possibility of American troops coming under fire from Turkish forces in Syria’s Kurdish areas.
However, a US defense official told CNN that Secretary of Defense James Mattis does not want to block Turkey from receiving the stealth fighters and is trying to get the language removed from the bill’s final version.
Turkey is a partner country of the F-35 program, along with allies such as the UK, Italy, Canada and Australia, contributing toward the cost of development and producing some of its parts.

If you had told someone two decades ago that by 2018 the company that commercialized chemical warfare and the company that commercialized Agent Orange were going to team up to control a quarter of the world’s food supply, chances are you would have been labeled a loony.
Unless your name was Robert B. Shapiro. He was CEO of Monsanto from 1995 to 2000, and in 1999 he told Business Week that the company’s goal was to wed “three of the largest industries in the world—agriculture, food and health—that now operate as separate businesses. But there are a set of changes that will lead to their integration.”
With this month’s announcement that Bayer has completed its $63 billion acquisition of Monsanto, it is hard to deny that Shapiro’s vision has been realized. Too bad for all of us that that vision is a nightmare.
Because, contrary to the feel-good corporate propaganda being churned out by the company’s PR department—propaganda that would have you believe that this merger will be good for the environment, for farmers, for ending global hunger, and, incidentally, for lining the pockets of shareholders—these two corporate giants are in fact committed to the consolidation and transformation of the world’s food supply in the hands of the genetic engineers.
Monsanto and Bayer are a match made in hell. This is The Corbett Report.
It is hardly surprising that the first thing Bayer did after completing their takeover of Monsanto earlier this month was to announce that they were dropping the Monsanto name, merging the two companies’ agrichemical divisions under the “Bayer Crop Science” name. After all, as everyone knows, Monsanto is one of the most hated corporations in the world.
- "The list of cuss words against God is endless. God is still God and those who have cursed Him are now dust," Villegas, former president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, said on June 10.
"When you spit upwards, your spit will return to your face. The more you spit at God, the more spit you bring to your face. It is the law of gravity. It is also the law of divine justice," he added.
"For those who dare to teach you error, pray for them and forgive them. They might be insane or possessed. They need God. They need your prayers and love and compassion," Villegas offered.
Duterte's provocative comments about God come in the wake of the recent killing of three Catholic clergymen in the Philippines.
The Philippines is considered to be the only dominantly-Christian nation in Asia, with over 86 percent of the population — some 76 million people — avowing Roman Catholicism.
- Thousands of Americans have taken to the streets in Washington DC to protest harsh living conditions as part of Poor People’s Campaign rally.
Prominent activists and human rights leaders also participated in the march on Saturday which was part of a weeks-long campaign to raise awareness about the plight of Americans living in poverty.
The protesters also called for moral revival on key issues affecting the lives of ordinary Americans, including voter suppression and mass incarceration, as well as healthcare.
"So too few have so much and poor people have rich votes, poor people can vote. There are enough of poor people to turn the course of our country, that's what we have to do," said Rev. Jesse Jackson, activist and former presidential candidate.
"People to have rich votes, to have rich hopes, rich aspirations and the rich agenda which is feed the hungry, clothe the naked and set the capital free."
“Don’t get it twisted,” Rev. William Barber told a crowd. “We are not left, we are not right, we are not conservative or liberal.”
