Install w3af 1.0 in Fedora - Python-svn Dependancy Solving
Famous web application testing tool kit 'w3af' released a stable version on 25th May 2011. How ever when I run w3af-gui, it tells it needs 'python-svn' and suggest to run apt-get install python-svn.
In a fedora based system 'yum install python svn' will not work since package comes with a different package name. Therefore to install python svn, 'yum install pysvn' should be issued.

Open DNS Phishing Protection
Open DNS Logo |
As a Linux user, since there is not reputed Virus Guard (Even troublesome SELinux is there) or URL filtering is not done, there is a more chance you deal with phishing URL. In windows many AVs prevent phishing and scam URL. In this case best option is using a DNS level filtering. In most cases ISP's DNS will not offer this sort of protection. Therefore best option is switch to Open DNS.
Open DNS name servers are
