I am about to start work on a project to reduce the bandwidth usage of a web application. We are going to implement several techniques such as delayed loading of Javascript files until they are needed to try and reduce the overhead of running the application.
The first thing I want to do is test the current state of things so we can create a baseline. Ideally we would then like to automate this testing so that we can track the network usage of the application as we make our changes.
Can anyone suggest tools which are good at doing this? At it's most basic the tool needs to be manually run but extra brownie points will be given for suggestions of how to automate the test!
Thanks in advance.
Firebug (especially the Network Tab will show you everything a page loads with times and sizes.
You might also take a look at YSlow.
I would just use the logs of IIS. It's possible to log to text files. Then you can analyze your data with this tool.
If you don't want to get fancy, you can log via ODBC to a database, and query with plain SQL.

I am trying to create a local exact copy of a Wiki on my Linux machine, but no matter what I try, it won't work properly in the end.
The challenge is that I have no access other than web-access to the Wiki, but it would be sufficient to have just a snapshot of the current state. I tried to use wget, but it fails to download files properly and does not convert links inside those pages.
I tried to use websucker.py but again it did not properly convert links, and since most Wiki files have no extension, I could not get my web-server (lighttpd) to serve them as text/html.
Does anyone have a working tool or can tell me what parameters to use with either wget or websucker.py to create a working clone of an existing Wiki?
Since nobody seems to know I spent a few more hours on Google and found the answer myself. I put it here if others have the same issue.
Each Wiki has an API that beside other features has a dump feature. You can use that API for a full or current dump of any Wiki. See here for a tutorial on how to use the dumpgenerator.py created by the wikiteam.
You can later import that XML dump either through the Special:import page or use the importDump.php script as explained in the Mediawiki manual.

Where is a good place to start with cyber security, not necessarily directly related to programming?
I'm looking to cover a wide range of issues:
Fire walls
Networking setup
XSS
SQL Injection
An then other things I don't know I don't know.
My current experience is some programming, some networking. I know to clean my user input before sending to a database, etc.
Where should I start? I'd like some print books to read, but other resources are also welcome.
As you're new to the topic and don't yet have specialised in a specific area of computer security, I highly recommend http://www.securitytube.net/. It offers a huge amount of free video based tutorials and other video material you can learn from. Especially you should go for the "Megaprimers" :)

I have node.js for notifications in my project. I use socket.io and redis pub/sub. I like socket.io because it gives me one interface for all kind of transports (websocket, long polling and etc.) and it gives me crossbrowser client library. But I have a lot of problems with debuging code on nodejs. I have problems with cpu very often and its hard to figure out reason of it. That why I want to use tool instead of node.js maybe go or erlang but I can't find tools such as socket.io on these languages
I worked on several node.js projects over a year or two several years ago and I find working with Go and debugging Go projects much easier. But that's as much personal taste as anything else.
There is a socket.io package for Go.
If you only need data from the server to the browser I'd recommend you give Server Sent Events a try; there are several nice Go packages for that, too. For example esource or eventsource.

I have an IIS webserver that is crashing occasionally. It always works just fine after restarting the AppPool. I have logging configured for the website in a standard W3C format. Looking through the logs for useful information is like sifting through vomit for a tasty treat. Are there any good tools out there for making these logs more readable? User Friendly? Useful?
Check out Smarter Stats from http://www.smartertools.com/smarterstats/web-analytics-seo-software.aspx
The free edition is really nice.
Nihuo web log analyzer is very simple, easy to configure and very good in analyzing iis and apache access log files. The reports generated by this tool are also very good.

I want to analyze the IIS logs for a website for things like hits, keywords, countries accessed from etc.
Has anyone used any (free) tools that were useful from this regard?
There's LogParser. Blog article about how to use it here. You need to be comfortable with SQL to use it, though. There's a GUI for it apparently, too. Don't have any experience with that, though.

You can use it freely with full function for 30 days evaluation period.
============================================
updated: The software is developed by myself.
There is a simple answer to this don't..
Log files are next to useless to look at your website traffic, there are massively inaccurate, log file analysis is useful for network engineers looking at traffic management.
If you want to view who has looked at your website from where and with which broswer and what keyword was used to get there, just install goggle analytic although it does have a few downsides its much better for the information you require its also free.
Take a look at http://www.googlelytics.net/awstats-log-file-analysis-vs-google-analytics/ for a view of each.
