LaTeX Lab

LaTeX Lab is interesting: it’s a web-based LaTeX editor which hooks into Google Docs, i.e. your LaTeX source documents are stored in Google Docs.

Google releases security hole

Google has just released a buggy microblogging web application with security holes as a training tool for developers to understand security issues in web apps.

One codelab in particular teaches developers about common types of web application vulnerabilities. In the spirit of the thinking that "it takes a hacker to catch a hacker," the codelab also demonstrates how an attacker could exploit such vulnerabilities.

We're releasing this codelab, entitled "Web Application Exploits and Defenses," today in coordination with Google Code University and Google Labs to help software developers better recognize, fix, and avoid similar flaws in their own applications.
