			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I added another 2 packages to the Arch User Repository (AUR) which brings up my total to 6. The 2 applications are the <a href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32641">mercury compiler</a> and <a href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33046">csrftester</a>.</p>
<p>I was surprised to see there was no fitting packaged mercury compiler available in any of the Arch Linux repositories. Arch has many compilers available but apparantly not the mercury compiler. I admit that <a href="http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/mercury/">mercury</a> is perhaps not the most popular language, considering it is a) declarative and b) not backed by a major company like Microsoft, but I was suprised nonetheless. It may be worth mentioning that compiling mercury takes a little while (depending on your computer a few hours) so make sure you have the time if you&#8217;re building it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_CSRFTester_Project">CSRFTester</a> is a whole different application. It is used for testing Cross Site Request Forgeries in web applications. It sits in between your browser and the internet and logs your http requests. Based on those logs, it can generate sample code to exploit possible csrf vurnerabilities. As the name suggests, it&#8217;s just for testing purposes and logging. Don&#8217;t expect any out of the box exploits.</p>
