3 notes.

1. Maui is sloppy on paper.
2. Maui is awesome.
3. CED and AWK are the greatest programs, ever.

Will post the results once they are finalized, checked and made public.

valid_url($url, $absolute = FALSE)

Usage is simple.

if (valid_url($myURL)) {
     //is a valid URL;
     return TRUE;
} else {
     //is not a valid URL
     return FALSE;
}

MSMC – Redirect After Comment 1.11

Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (with vi, nano, WinSCP, whatever)

Look for <Directory /var/www/>

Just below, look for
 
AllowOverride None

and change it to

AllowOverride All

Save and and then restart apache2 by typing:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

That’s it!  Your settings in .htaccess should now work.

Maui WiFi Security Break Down

OPEN = 1168 of 3056 of Maui networks have NO SECURITY
WEP = 777 of 3056 of Maui networks have INCREDIBLY WEAK SECURITY
WPAPSK = 952 of 3056 of Maui networks are REASONABLY SECURE
WPA2 = 93 of 3056 of Maui networks are VERY SECURE
Other = 66 of 3056 of Maui networks are HIGHLY SECURE

Please note that the above numbers are estimates.  Networks not broadcasting their SSID’s were not logged.

So How Secure Is Maui Overall?

63.6% of Maui Networks are Insecure. (WEP encryption is NOT secure (yes, even 128bit WEP) and is included here with the OPEN networks.)

36.4% of Maui Networks are Reasonably Secure.  I consider any network that cannot be cracked in 24 hrs reasonably secure.  Please note that default and weak passwords can make even the most secure networks negligible to attack.
