Secure Software Design

The process of creating software applications in a secure way is referred to as secure software design. In this guide, protection policies are incorporated at every stage of development in respect of confidentiality, integrity and availability. Among the practices carried out, provision of threat modeling, maintenance of secure coding standards, and provision of strong authentication methods are key. Data is protected by encryption whereas addressing potential threats is accomplished through the practice of code review and vulnerability scans. Using OWASP standards for instance helps an application developer to avoid some risks like SQL injection and cross site scripting attacks. In preventing such attacks, secure design encourages making the attack surface as small as possible and upholding the least privilege policy. By designing with security in mind from the beginning, there are no loose ends where user data is concerned, trust between the company and users is preserved, and the law is followed, thus creating a safe online space.

I miss being able to just use an API with `curl`.

Remember that? Remember how nice that was?

You just typed/pasted the URL, typed/piped any other content, and then it just prompted you to type your password. Done. That's it.

Now you need to log in with a browser, find some obscure settings page with API keys and generate a key. Paternalism demands that since some people insecurely store their password for automatic reuse, no one can ever API with a password.

Fine-grained permissions for the key? Hope you got it right the first time. You don't mind having a blocking decision point sprung on you, do ya? Of course not, you're a champ. Here's some docs to comb through.

That is, if the service actually offers API keys. If it requires OAuth, then haha, did you really think you can just make a key and use it? you fool, you unwashed barbarian simpleton.

No, first you'll need to file this form to register an App, and that will give you two keys, okay, and then you're going to take those keys, and - no, stop, stop trying to use the keys, imbecile - now you're going to write a tiny little program, nothing much, just spin up a web server and open a browser and make several API calls to handle the OAuth flow.

Okay, got all that? Excellent, now just run that program with the two keys you have, switch back to the browser, approve the authorization, and now you have two more keys, ain't that just great? You can tell it's more secure because the number of keys and manual steps is bigger.

And now, finally, you can use all four keys to make that API call you wanted. For now. That second pair of keys might expire later.

What Is Website Hosting and Why Does It Matter for Your Website?

Introduction

There is always a host when you attend a party. The host is usually the one who chooses the site so that everyone may attend. Consider your website's host like the host of a party when it comes to website hosting. Like a party host, your web host gives you a place to put your website so everyone on the internet can enjoy it. In this guide, we’ll go over the fundamentals of website hosting, explore a few different types of web hosting, and explain why choosing the appropriate provider is essential for your organization and your website development company.

What is website hosting?

As previously mentioned, website hosting allows your website to be accessible online. You can have the most beautiful website in the world, but without a host, you're simply a data collector with nowhere to go. When you pay a hosting company to host your website, you’re paying for server space. The quantity of space and pricing may vary depending on your choice. Web hosting refers to the service that enables individuals and organizations to make their websites accessible via the internet. All of the files, text, images, and code needed to build a website must be stored on a server that’s online 24/7. This server is provided by a web development services company or a dedicated website hosting business working with website developers to keep your site live and available.

What are the different types of web hosting?

1. Website builder

Website builders are online tools or platforms that enable individuals or businesses to create websites without needing advanced technical knowledge or coding skills. These platforms offer a user-friendly interface and a range of customizable templates and features, allowing users to design and build their websites through a visual interface. Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress are popular website builders among small businesses and bloggers. Additionally, website builders empower users to instantly edit their sites without any coding knowledge, making them an excellent tool for beginners and a great resource for website developers looking to create quick prototypes or manage projects efficiently.

2. Dedicated server

This type of hosting involves having a whole physical server devoted to your website alone. Maximum resource, control, and customization are available with this option. It's entirely yours with a dedicated server. You don't have to share any space with other websites. You have the entire server to yourself. You also have complete control over the server. You should consider a dedicated server if your website has more than 100,000 monthly visitors. However, if you run a small business on a tight budget and your website has fewer than 100,000 monthly visitors, this is probably not your server type.

3. Shared hosting

One of the most affordable solutions is shared hosting. On a single server, resources are shared by several websites. Small to medium-sized websites with modest traffic can use it. You share a server with other websites when you use shared hosting. So, if your website doesn't get much traffic, this choice can be a good fit for you. The disadvantage is that if one website breaks the server, you're stuck with it. And if you weren't the one who broke it. It will slow down your site.

4. A virtual private server

A virtual private server, or VPS, is shared with other websites in the same way that even a shared host is. On the other hand, the server is divided into virtual servers for each site. So, despite sharing a physical space with other sites, each has its small enclave. VPS hosting provides a midway option between dedicated and shared hosting. It creates distinct virtual servers on a single physical server by utilizing virtualization technologies. With its own resources, each VPS runs separately, giving it greater autonomy and scalability.

5. Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting hosts websites on a number of networked servers. Because resources are sourced from a network of servers, it provides scalability, flexibility, and dependability. It works well for websites that need to scale or deal with varying visitor levels, making it a valuable option for website developers looking to support dynamic traffic demands.

6. Reseller Hosting

This type of hosting enables people to buy hosting resources and then resell them to other people. It is appropriate for business owners who want to include hosting in their list of services.

Choosing the right web hosting provider is crucial for your company's success. Making the wrong decision might be detrimental in the long term. Opting for the lowest-priced option may save you money initially but could result in a slower site and fewer visitors over time. Today’s users have high expectations for site speed; if your site takes over three seconds to load, many visitors will abandon it. When users leave, it signals a poor user experience or that your web development company hasn't met their needs. Even if your site has all the answers, a slow load time will impact your search engine results. The farther you are from the top of search results, the less traffic you will receive.

To ensure your website performs at its best, research and determine your company’s needs before selecting a web hosting service. If you need support with website design websites and hosting maintenance, don’t hesitate to contact our team at Xerxes. We’d be delighted to assist you with your web design and hosting requirements so you can begin generating revenue for your clients.

Conclusion

Each type of hosting has its own advantages and is suited to different needs. Factors like website traffic, resource requirements, scalability, technical expertise, and budget influence the choice of hosting type for a particular website. So, research and determine what your company needs before paying for web hosting services. Therefore, don’t hesitate to contact our team at Xerxes for Web Design and Development Services in Ireland if you need help maintaining your website. We'd be delighted to assist you with your web design and hosting requirements so you can begin generating revenue for your clients.

Just noticed the new "Landlock" feature in Linux.

I haven't looked deeply enough to opine on design specifics, but from a birds-eye view: finally!

If you think about software security much, you know how frustrating it is that unprivileged processes have so few options for reducing their privileges even further.

And of course, only from inside the program can you get the most precise idea of how much you can limit your capabilities - just how little your logic needs.

So I really love seeing yet another step to the beautiful future where we can write programs that lock themselves down as much as possible.

Who’s Spying on You the Most? Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, or Steam? Let’s Find Out!

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about something we all know but don’t always think about: tech companies spying on us. Yeah, it’s no secret that our devices and apps are constantly collecting data, but have you ever wondered who’s doing it the most? Is it Microsoft? Google? Nvidia? Steam? Or maybe even EA? I decided to run a little experiment to find out, and the results were… eye-opening. The…
