fwobac is a modest articles-and-comments CGI program derived from the software (formerly) used on http://undeadly.org/, and originally written by Daniel Hartmeier. It retains the flat file content storage of the original, but extends it in various ways.
In contrast with the original software, fwobac:
explicit_bzero(3)
,
timingsafe_bcmp(3)
, and
pledge(2)
, as well as HMAC-SHA256 rather than SHA1).
The code has been written to run on OpenBSD [6.1], but should be readily portable to other platforms.
"FWOBAC" is an acronym from
For Want Of Better Articles and Comments.
For those unfamiliar with the English language, and Australian culture:
The name is intended to reflect the fact that the software was developed because no better solution has been offered for the needs of undeadly.org
