Just finished my talk about extending Burp at Derbycon VII. Thanks to everyone that attended! I’m really thankful for the opportunity to present on the topic.

I’d love to hear any comments/questions.
Thanks!
So excited to be speaking at DerbyCon 7.0 this year! After attending every year since the conference started, I decided to submit a talk this year and it was accepted. The title of the talk is “Extending Burp”. I’ll run through how to create Burp extensions and some gotcha’s that I figured out.
Hope to see you there!
A coworker of mine is really excited about Elixir and it’s performance. So, I created a little program in both Ruby and Elixir to return an array containing the squares of numbers from 1 to 1000.
This is the Ruby version. It uses a gem called Parallel that I found quickly from searching. It uses all available processors and uses threads.
require 'parallel' Parallel.map(1..1000) do |i| i * i end |
Running this a few times gives results like this-
real 0m0.118s user 0m0.090s sys 0m0.059s
This is the Elixir version. It uses no external libraries. It uses all available processors and uses threads.
defmodule Parallel do
def pmap(collection, func) do
collection
|> Enum.map(&(Task.async(fn -> func.(&1) end)))
|> Enum.map(&Task.await/1)
end
end
Parallel.pmap 1..1000, &(&1 * &1) |
Running this a few times gives results like this-
real 0m0.271s user 0m0.258s sys 0m0.176s
Ruby is considerably faster on this simple example. Definitely going to experiment more…
I’ve been spending most of my commute these days listening to podcasts. I’ve found a few good ones, but am looking for ideas. Security/development is my vocation, but I like a variety of things to listen to.
Currently I’m listening to-
Any other suggestions?

As many of you may know, I started off right out of college doing C/C++ programming and finished my software development days with Java. Since then I’ve been doing application security. When I do program now, it’s mainly for my own uses and it’s typically in Ruby.
I became interested in Ruby when Metasploit was ported to Ruby. But in general, the prominent language for scripting related to security is Python. So, I decided to experiment more with Python.
Right off the bat I’ve found a few things that are annoying–
Thoughts?
