Tip of The Day: Test Your Web Server’s Crypto Prowess for TLS, Diffie-Hellman, and more

Are you concerned about the security of data transmissions in which your web server participates day in and day out? Passwords, user names, credit card numbers, and other sensitive private communications on the Internet can easily be compromised unless you actively take precautionary measures and preempt the most common exploits by means of modern cryptography. Your users trust that you will protect them. The only question is: how do you measure success?

How to Figure out Your PHP Configuration Parameters without info.php

One way to find out the details of your PHP configuration is by saving

Here is a quick tutorial on how to make the leap.
