Sub Resource Integrity – SRI

Do you rely on content distribution networks or CDNs to provide some of your resources? You may not consider some of your resources in this category, but really it is any resource that is provided outside of your server.

But how do you know you are getting the file you expect? As an … [Read more...] about Sub Resource Integrity – SRI

Security Tips for Copy/Paste of Code From the Internet

Developing applications has long involved using code snippets found through textbooks or on the Internet. Rather than re-invent the wheel, it makes sense to identify existing code that helps solve a problem. It may also help speed up the development time. Years ago, maybe 12, I remember a co-worker that had a SQL Injection vulnerability in his application. The culprit, code copied from someone else. At the time, I explained that once you copy code into your application it is now your … [Read more...] about Security Tips for Copy/Paste of Code From the Internet

Secure Notification Updates in FireFox and Chrome

There has been a steady increase in the number of applications that have switched to using HTTPS instead of HTTP for communication. Even sites that have no sensitive information or authentication mechanisms. Using HTTPS provides authentication and a secure channel to transmit data between client and server. The authentication verifies that you are communicating with the organization you thought you were. This secure transmission is meant to stop other parties from being able to read or … [Read more...] about Secure Notification Updates in FireFox and Chrome

MongoDBs under attack from ransomware

In recent news, it was identified that MongoDB databases are being exposed on the internet and infected with ransomeware. In a little under a week, the infection count went from 200 to 10,000. That is a quick ramp up. In this case, misconfigurations may bind the database port to the public interface, while also allowing anonymous access. This combination can be devastating. Doing a quick search on Shodan you may find there are thousands of misconfigured MondoDB servers exposed on the … [Read more...] about MongoDBs under attack from ransomware
