Apache Tomcat is a server of web applications primarily used in commercial environment not only as an application platform, but also as a component of large projects related with providing of a web-interface. In corporate sector, security of information systems has the highest priority, while infrastructure stability ensures failure-free operation. Let us test a vaunted stability and security of UNIX daemons taking Tomcat as an example.
Since the beginning of dynamic Web development, а synchronization problem has emerged concerning a set of software programs, its versions and configurations in production and development environments. The developer of Vagrant has invented a new tool which is supposed to help solve the problem — Packer.
In a client-server architecture, Java applications are most often located on the server side, and web interfaces are created by separate groups of front-end developers using JavaScript. Java does not provide any useful tools to develop modern Web interfaces (Do you still remember what Java applets look like?) — neither in terms of design, nor in terms of the client-server interaction. But what if the entire client-server application was developed using Java? Why not to make the client part “native” to the browser in compliance with the most modern usability concepts?
Linux supports a highly versatile set of administration tools. On the one hand, it is good — users have options. But, on the other hand, this very variety is not quite suitable for a corporate sector, as there are often tens and hundreds of computers to be managed. Recently, quite a number of tools have emerged to simplify this task, and we will discuss one of them.
Relatively recently, we saw the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, a distribution that is rightly considered to be the number one in the corporate sector. Without waiting for its clones, we decided to look at what is new in this giant of open source world which was able, at some point, to combine the seemingly incompatible – making money and using an open-source model.
Bug Bounty—vulnerability reward programs for vendors—become more and more widespread. And sometimes, vulnerabilities search detects some evidently insecure areas (e.g., self-XSS) the threat of which is hard to prove. But the larger (or even the smarter) is the vendor (e.g., Google), the more willing it is to discuss, to detect the indicated vulnerability and to reward if successful. This article is a collating of complex situations and the ways to prove a threat and to make the Internet more secure.
Only lazybones know nothing about Cydia today. Such words as jailbreak, tweak and unofficial app store have long ago come into general use of every more or less competent user of an i-device. On the other hand, it would be a blasphemy not to tell about Cydia, so we decided to take a different way collecting entire info about novelties, utilities and other interesting things found in the expanses of this app store.
