The Kubernetes inner development loop supports various stages of a development workflow, starting from the developer writing the code until it is deployed to production. Skaffold and Telepresence are two popular Kubernetes inner development loop tools that support continuous development in modern DevOps frameworks. Skaffold is an open source command-line…

Cross-site request forgery is an attack in which an adversary can submit a malicious request on behalf of the victim user. In an application with cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities, malicious users can submit unauthorized commands since the application trusts the origin user account. Also known as session riding, XSRF…

An injection vulnerability allows a malicious actor to inject harmful code into a system through another application. Hackers typically use injection attacks to access the backend server configuration, shell commands, or OS calls when the application fails to validate user input adequately. …

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to submit unusual, malicious requests on behalf of an unsuspecting user. CSRF attacks, also known as one-click attacks, cross-site reference forgery, session riding, or hostile linking, take advantage of the trust between the server and client-side session, causing…

The Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (RCE) is a security vulnerability exploited by malicious users to run arbitrary code on a compromised server/computer. A remote code execution attack is typically aimed at gaining system-level privileges and administrative access to a public-facing application, giving the unauthenticated attacker visibility of the server’s stack…

Computer ports are crucial components in application programming and networking since they provide a central docking point for exchanging information between two entities. A port number provides consistency and is combined with the target host IP address to form the vital information that the internet service provider uses to fulfill…

Modern web applications rely on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to handle client requests and transfer data between entities. API rate limiting is used to protect web resources and services by preventing the frequency of transactions from exceeding a set maximum number. In this article, you’ll learn: what rate limiting is, …

In a standard web server directory, the root folder is the publicly accessible folder that can be accessed when a user types a website’s domain name on the address bar. The root directory contains the site’s index file and paths to all other files and directories used in the system…

Modern application security relies on the username-password combination as the most common approach to authenticate registered users into a digital entity. Because of its ease of implementation for most digital experiences, a password function is used to offer the first line of defense for both front and backend security. However…
