The rapid growth and increasing complexity of Python based web applications and systems have made robust security testing more important than ever. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics, looking for vulnerabilities they can exploit to steal data or disrupt operations. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a security methodology that analyzes an application’s source code […]| NO Complexity
Python’s popularity and accessibility make it an attractive target for malicious actors. Its widespread presence on developer and server machines means attackers often find it readily available for misuse. A key security risk is Python’s ability to easily execute arbitrary code provided as data, which is a common mechanism in various injection and remote code […]| NO Complexity
Recently I noticed an new interesting announcement from Google Deepmind called: “Introducing CodeMender: an AI agent for code security“. Since I am into security this article caught my attention. A growing trend in the security tooling space is the emergence of AI-powered code auditors — tools that don’t just find vulnerabilities, but claim to fix […]| NO Complexity

Instead,Continue reading "The Final Countdown for Windows 10 End of Life"| Encryption Consulting
A single tool, suite or framework to manage all aspects for security aspects is in practice impossible. There are far too many aspects that require specialist tools and expertise that creating and maintaining such a tool is impossible. Also the code-base will be insecure by design, since security maintenance of large complex code bases is in practice impossible. | NO Complexity
Good measurements for cyber security do not have to be technical. From a defence in depth principle it is recommended to have a mix of various technical and non technical measurements. A healthy distrust in security means never trust software and hardware and take as many measurements to mitigate cyber risks to acceptable levels. | NO Complexity

Too many Python programs use assert statements to check for conditions, even in widely used modules like Pydantic. Using assert can be problematic from a security perspective. The Python assert statement itself isn’t insecure, but its misuse can lead to vulnerabilities. Rationale When using `Python -O` the Python interpreter removes all assert statements from the […]| NO Complexity
