Util Hello! Who all is in attendance? 19:30
rurban_ me 19:31
too busy with perl5 work 19:32
Util Thanks for attending
rurban_: I received a question about making a perl script tamper-proof, 19:34
for the purposes of both security and
"not having the full power of a scripting language laying around on the box to be abused by the users".
I suggested perl-compiler.org; was this an appropriate use of your compiler?
rurban_ yes
he just needs to assure that all run-time loaded modules are compiled in also. 19:35
but perl5 does not really support proper sandboxing
Safe is not really usable 19:36
but perl6/parrot neither
i.e. forbid access to networking/filesystem/processes or in his case just to perl and it's modules, which might be too powerful 19:38
Util I suspect that as long as the function of the program cannot be altered by simple text edits, it is sufficient security. 19:39
rurban_ Not for cPanel. But probably for him :) 19:41
Util How is it insufficent for cPanel? 19:42
rurban_ We have higher security standards
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application_security has a good overview 19:43
Util Oh, of course, since cPanel code is in a web environment. I expect this app to be on a single machine. 19:44
rurban_ cPanel code runs about 70% of the internet, yes 19:45
Util :)
rurban_ but for just being tamper-proof there are entries the www.perl-compiler.org/perlcompile.h..._compilers 19:47
Filter has several decrypters
Util Thanks! 19:49
Anything else before we adjourn? From anyone? 20:00
OK, then. Meeting adjourned. Thanks! 20:02
