Agnostic

Refers to something that is generalized so that it is interoperable among various systems.

Example: Platform-agnostic software runs on any combination of operating system and underlying processor architecture.

Bubblesort

Sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list to be sorted, compares each pair of adjacent items and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. The pass through the list is repeated until no swaps are needed, which indicates that the list is sorted. More sorting

Entropy

"Randomness”. Computers need entropy for a lot of things, particularly cryptographic operations.

Example: /dev/random and /dev/urandom. Random is the high-quality one. When it runs out, it blocks until there is more available. urandom will supply high-quality entropy until it runs out, then it will generate more programmatically using the kernel's PRNG. It doesn't block, but it might not be as secure as random.

Isomorphic applications

Applications that are build with the same language on the back and front-ends

Reverse shell

A machine connecting to you instead of you connecting to it. For instance, you run netcat on your localmachine listening on port 6666. Then you run a command (security exploit or some other timed application) on the remote machine that causes it to connect to you on port 6666, giving you a remote shell. Often used when you can't initiate a connection to a machine but it can initiate a connection to you (firewall, etc).

TOML

TOML stands for Tom’s Own Minimal Language. It is a configuration language vaguely similar to YAML or property lists, but far, far better.
