Shell based Norton Safeweb Query

Thanks to Webmaster Tips for the reminder about using lynx to pull the content of a web page without saving it to a file.

Using their method, we can quickly check the "Total Threat count" on Norton's Safe Web site for a domain using:

lynx -source "http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=domain.com" | grep -i "Total threats found:" | awk -F '>' '{print $2}' | awk -F '<' '{print $1}'

Not all that pretty, but effective nonetheless. Looking to add 2-3 more command line based checks, including Google's Safe Browsing API.

Reverse Engineering Cheat Sheet

Ran across this cheat sheet from Microsoft on X86/Win32 for Reverse Engineers. Also found this one by Lenny Zeltser that is more how-to centric. Both are handy one-pagers to keep with an IDA book.

Lenny also has a number of other InfoSec cheat sheets on his site covering everything from Internet Application Security to DDoS Incident Reponse, as well as links to InfoSec cheat sheets by others.
