Book Review: Nessus, Snort and Ethereal Power Tools
Kristy Westphal
I'm always interested in books that give me more information about freeware tools, which I use on a regular basis, and this book didn't disappoint me. Nessus, Snort, and Ethereal Power Tools: Customizing Open Source Security taught me a few things that I didn't know about each of these tools. I don't profess to be a developer, but I still learned plenty of things that made this a worthwhile read.

Regular Expressions: Two Easy Steps Better Than One Hard One
Cameron Laird, Kathryn Soraiz
This year, Regular Expressions has frequently commented on the advantages of learning the idioms specific to a particular language. Let's look now at a few underappreciated approaches to parsing that apply to a broad class of languages, and how they might benefit your own development.
Two overdone parsing techniques are yacc and complicated regular expressions (REs). Powerful as they are — the name of this column hints at our appreciation of the latter — they also poorly fit many of the situations where incompletely educated programmers try to apply them. Phaseit just finished a string of several months of consulting with successive clients whose coincidental overreliance on REs made trouble for themselves.
