Since its inception almost a decade ago and the MirrorBlast campaign, the threat actor group known as TA505 has continued to plague the financial, retail and restaurant sectors.
Python is a growing language. As it evolves and expands, so do the number of tools and development strategies available for working with it. One process that’s become increasingly popular is linting — or checking code for potential problems. With linting, errors in our code will be flagged so we can correct unusual programming practices that might result in problems. Linting is performed while the source code is written and before it’s compiled.
GitOps is a popular framework for managing and securing the application development pipeline. For many who have embarked on a GitOps journey, a common question is: “how can I secure my pipeline when everything is automated?” The GitOps framework is a concept where any code commits or changes are done through Git, which then triggers an automated pipeline that builds and deploys applications on Kubernetes.
Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) in Java are objects that transport data between subsystems. It is an enterprise design pattern to aggregate data. The main purpose is to reduce the number of system calls needed between the subsystems, reducing the amount of overhead created. In this article, I will explain how DTOs are used in modern Java applications, ways your application can benefit, and how Java DTOs can help you be more secure by preventing accidental data leaks.
DirtyCred is a new Linux kernel exploitation technique that allows kernel Use After Free (UAF) or Double free vulnerabilities to swap a credential or file structure on the kernel heap memory to escalate privileges to root. The replaced credential or file structure provides root access on a Linux host and breaks out of the container at the same time. Ph.D.
Security has been a concern in the tech industry for years now. However, not a lot of companies follow their own protocols or guides when it comes to securing code. It’s easy to believe that security incidents are uncommon (or unlikely to happen in your own organization), but the latest issue with Uber is one of many examples to the contrary.
