| And get my B::C release out today (testing against 5.20.0 now) | 19:25 | ||
| 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 | ||
