Good Day to you!

In my last article, I introduced you to NMAP, WIRESHARK and NETCAT. These fall in the category of diagnostics and troubleshooting. The next two tools known as vulnerability scanners. They check your server, code and in the case of the second tool - Accunetix - it scans your "code" for such things as SQL Injection flaws and Cross site scripting.

The Joomlashack Difference

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:59:00 +0000

There are lots of places to buy a Joomla template - but Joomlashack is the only one to offer lifetime template updates and a 30 day money back guarantee!

One of the defining characteristics of Joomla compared to other open source CMS's is the rich variety of professional templates that are available. There are, of course, the poorly coded sweatshop template sites, but lets take a look at a...

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:11:00 +0000

The team over at TechJoomla have started a new Joomla community initiative on Twitter called #how2joomla. Although the name is the same, this initiative is not affiliated with HowToJoomla.net in any way. We think this is a great idea, and we wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. The idea behind it is that if you have a question about Joomla, you can tag a question in a post on Twitter...

Joomla! goes iPhone

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:26:00 +0000

The way a website should look and behave in a mobile device is significantly different than how it does on a PC display. According to the principle "Write Once, Publish Everywhere" we don’t want to force users to maintain multiple copies of every page.

When we first started experimenting with JomSocial almost a year ago, we were impressed with the potential of building your own social network inside your existing Joomla site....
