As we see security as a top priority, for every new application that we put in production, we let it be penetration tested first. One remark we got with the last pen test was about the information our servers inadvertently revealed through HTTP response headers. Although I think it is not the biggest possible security issue, exposing details about their technology stack through headers like Server and X-Powered-By, gives some reconnaissance information to potential attackers for free. | The art of simplicity

I thought it’d be worth posting an example of a bigger task I did the other day - just to show what can be done, without crazy vibe-coding, on a non-greenfields app, using ASP.Net Core not some simplistic front-end tooling. This was originally part of a longer post but I thought it was worth splitting - this example is used in my post Clowns to the left of me … The task - Sending a message when data changes We have an ASP.Net core application which includes a relationship between Business...| Korny’s Blog

Automated tests are pretty awesome to be honest! They make life a lot simpler in many ways. And even if a lot of people are talking about how we need to do unit testing, I find integration testing much more valuable to be honest.| Fear of Oblivion
Testing a website is usually considered just another day at work, Burp Suite is usually the tool of our choice for automating some of the scans that apply in this field. Assessing the authenticated part of the site is also common, and since Burp can be used as an HTTP proxy, it can capture our session tokens (usually HTTP cookies) and perform scans just like we’d do as humans. This token is usually remain unchanged over the time of the session, and the session itself is kept alive by the sc...| Silent Signal Techblog
