I strongly recommend this hilarious, terrifying PyCon talk about vulnerabilities in yaml, xml, and json processing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjZHjvrAS74
If you process user-submitted data in these formats and don't yet know why you should be flatly terrified, please watch this ASAP; it's illuminating. If you *do* know why you should be terrified, watch it anyway and giggle along in knowing recognition, because the talk is really very funny. -- Andromeda Yelton Board of Directors, Library & Information Technology Association: http://www.lita.org http://andromedayelton.com @ThatAndromeda <http://twitter.com/ThatAndromeda>
