Granger was stunning in Gryffindor red. She was stunning in any color, really, but Draco found it amusing that she had deliberately chosen her old house color for tonight's event.

The satin dress had one off the shoulder sleeve and the skirt of the dress was cut in a combination of a trumpet and mermaid gown with one long slit cutting to the highest point of her right thigh.

“This is torture, Granger.” Theo had growled as Draco held a hand out for her as she descended the last steps and into the entrance foyer. “You know, at some point, I will snap.”

Theo was dressed in a sleek black Havana style tuxedo with a crisp shirt and black bow tie. It was perfectly tailored and his usually wild waves were combed back, accentuating the sharp lines of his jawline. It was a rare sight to see his best friend with his wild waves combed neatly back behind his ears and he looked uncomfortable, soothing the hair back over and over.

“What do you mean, snap?” Granger had dragged her eyes from Draco to lift a curious brow at Theo.

“Just keep doing what you’re doing and find out.” He had pointedly looked away from her and smoothed a hand over his hair.

Her hair was twisted into an intricate bun and the curls strategically left out to frame her face swayed back and forth as she shook her head, frowning.

“You look stunning,” Draco told her, pulling her to his side and linking her hand into the crook of his arm. She had held a hand out for Theo and he took it in his before they made their way over to the gala.

Draco might have let his lip curl when he saw B. Nolan Flamel smile at Granger.

The famous wizard reminded Draco of Gilderoy Lockhart with a dash of Adrian Pucey. He was tall and muscular with a wide smile and wavy golden hair. But Flamel had a smile that touched his eyes in a different way. It wasn’t filled with haughty confidence but something slimy and repulsive.

Of course, Draco considered, that could be due to the fact that he knew Flamel’s dark secret. Not to mention, that despite him and Granger breaking things off, he still looked at her with a hint of possessiveness that caused Draco’s face to react before he had a chance to stop it.

“Briar,” Granger drawled as she pulled her hand away from his hand. He had lifted it and placed a kiss to the back of her hand without any hint of hiding the gleam of greed in his eyes.

“Have you met Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott?”

“No, I cannot say I have had the pleasure.” Flamel’s dark eyes flicked to the two wizards at her side and nodded. “I’m thrilled to finally have wizards of your stature to attend one of my events.” He smiled at them but unlike with Granger, it failed to reach his eyes.

“A simple invite would suffice.” Theo sniffed but his eyes kept drifting off towards Ginny Potter, who was currently chatting up a wizard that Draco recalled was part of the Wizengamout. She was wearing a sleek gold gown and was alone, which meant that Seamus and Harry were currently off exploring the home, looking for the router.

“I’m delighted to be here.” Draco drawled, as he spotted a charmed tray of hors d’oeuvres pass by. All of the drinks and food was being served on trays that floated around the party, as if on a phantom wind. Passing between overdressed witches and wizards. There was classical music playing somewhere in the background and overall, really, the event seemed quite boring. Just another opportunity for high class society to show off their clothes or flaunt their money, donating to a cause they really cared nothing about. 

“I would love some champagne.” Granger announced, pointedly looking at Draco. Her eyes cut, imperceptibly, toward the left side of the room. Draco glanced over to find Blaise Zabini making his way toward them.

He grinned at her before nodding to Theo. “Theo, shall we get our lady something to drink?”

Theo’s eyes snapped to his and the look of utter boredom vanished from his features. “Of course.”

Draco gave her hand one more kiss before he and Theo pulled away, nodding at Blaise as they crossed paths.

“Should we be leaving her alone with that vulture?” Theo mused as he lifted a glass of shimmering pink champagne from a passing tray.

“Granger can take care of herself. She dated the bloke at some point.” He frowned over at Theo as they moved through the crowds. “Has she dated anyone since the two of you met?”

Theo tilted his head back and proceeded to drink the entirety of the glass. “She went on a few dates. Never anything serious.” It wasn’t unusual for Theo to loosen up with a glass or two of alcohol for a job and so when he reached for a second glass, Draco didn’t stop him.

Draco nodded to a hallway leading away from the ballroom. The two slid out of the room unseen.

“What floor is his room on again?” Draco asked under his breath.

“Third floor, east wing.” Theo set his empty glass on a table as they passed a painting of a Pegasus by a famous wizard painter, Avis Oleander. The wings flapped and the hooves galloped through clouds and stars as if aiming straight for them.

“What’s wrong with you? That’s two glasses of champagne in,” Draco glanced down at his watch and then remembered he didn’t wear one. “At least two minutes.” He surmised.

“I’m tense.” He straightened his bow tie and smoothed the lines of his jacket. “I can’t believe we just left her with him.” He sighed then shook his head. “There’s a guard up there.” He nodded toward the end of the hall.

“Turn here.” Draco murmured just before they veered left, looking very much like they knew where they were going.

Thanks to Teddys recon work, he did vaguely have an idea of where they were headed. They continued through halls filled with gaudy statues and paintings representing wizards and their greatness until they found themselves in the middle of an atrium full of both magical and non-magical plants. In the middle of the circular room was a pond with an array of koi fish.

“This is the east wing.” Draco mused as he looked around the room. “Didn’t Teddy say there was an atrium that could lead us to the Third floor?” His eyebrows pulled tight as he examined the room. He saw no signs of a staircase nor a lift.

“There’s a door over there,” Theo nodded to the other side of the atrium. “Perhaps through there?” It was hidden behind

“Only one way to find out.” They didn’t hesitate to move to the door together. “Do you think Granger never got serious with anyone, because you were in her life?” Draco asked his friend as he flicked his wand over the locked door.

Theo pursed his lips as he peeked into the darkened room. “I think she gave up on me.” He nodded into the room. “There’s a stairwell there.”

Draco ascended first, scanning as he went. “Why?”

“Because she didn’t think I ever got over Pansy.”

“Did you?”

“I think so. She’s sort of like my Weasley, isn’t she?”

Draco scoffed, but Theo went on.

“I mean, I had always assumed we would eventually end up together. But then I got involved with Granger, and that idea just sort of just faded away.” He looked over his shoulder. “Do you think she still wants him?”

“Weasley?” Draco shook his head as they climbed the spiral stairwell. “No, I think more than anything, she wants a family.”

Theo was quiet as they continued to climb. “What do you think Ginny meant by that whole child-bearing thing?”

“I think we should let Granger tell us.” Though it was something that Draco thought about often. Was she unable to have children or was it just difficult in the way that it was for most Witches. It was a common theme amongst the wizarding community. There was something, healers assumed, about the way magic affected the witches menstrual and ovulation cycle. It was the main contributing factor for the lower population rate. He had assumed that for a muggle, it might have been easier to conceive than it was for a witch. Due to the lack of magic interrupting their cycles.

Obviously, he could be wrong.

“These stairs are surpassing the second floor.” Draco noted, to which Theo hummed.

“Have you thought about having children?” He asked instead.

“Not often.” He admitted. “I think it would be hard at this point in my life. We’re not getting any younger.”

Theo chuckled. “I can’t imagine having children and still yearning to do shit like this.”

“But if we did,” Draco laughed. “We could make a horde of little bandits.”

“A family of thieves.” Theo reached the top of the stairs with a laugh. There was another locked door. “Granger would make a great mother.”

“I don’t know how I’d feel about being a father, having experienced my own.”

“Too right.” Theo grimaced, unlocking the door with the tip of his wand against the knob. He froze with his hand on the knob. “Did we forget to check for cameras?”

“No, I checked.” Draco grinned. “I cast a disillusionment spell toward the one in the atrium and there are none in here.”

“I’d love to get my hands on that cloak Potter keeps attached to his body.”

“It would come in handy.” Draco agreed and shot a disillusionment charm onto themselves before they opened the door.

“Did we just discuss having babies with Granger together?” Theo whispered, suddenly looking very alarmed.

“We did.”

They snorted quietly as they peered into the room.

They found B. Nolan’s bedroom.

“Oh, Clams Casino.” Draco plucked one up from a passing tray of hors d’oeuvres while Theo plucked up a glass of the same shimmering pink champagne.

Draco’s eyes scanned the room for Granger amongst the sea of people.

“Where is our witch?” Theo set his glass down and stumbled sideways into Draco’s arm just as he lifted the hors d’oeuvres to his mouth.

The Clam flew from his grasp and into a glass of champagne passing by. Both wizards watched as the glass toppled over into the others.

The sound of glass shattering seemed to create a stand-still as the room watched the glasses fall and break, spilling fizzing champagne onto the tiled floor.

“Oops.” Theo whispered out loud.

“Well, that was unfortunate.” Draco frowned.

A swath of jet black and silver suddenly appeared as the wait staff began to clean up the mess, allowing the partygoers to resume their dull conversations.

Astoria Greengrass was headed straight for them, dressed in a silver A-line gown that trailed behind her like some sort of twisted version of a wedding gown.

“We need to find Granger.” Draco murmured into Theo’s ear and began to pull him away. But Theo had eyed another glass of champagne. It practically glowed as it followed Astoria’s path straight for them.

“Draco,” She greeted him as she came to a stop in front of them. Theo tipped forward to grab a glass of champagne as it passed and Draco barely managed to hold onto the back of his jacket.

“Tori, fancy seeing you here.”

“I’m invited to all of Flamel’s events.” Her smile failed to reach her eyes.

She reached for a glass of champagne and held it out for Draco. “Champagne?”

“No thank you.”

She pursed her lips together but her eyes tracked Theo as he drank his own flute. “Theo Nott, another face I didn’t think I’d ever see at an event like this.”

Theo blew a raspberry and sniffed. “You’re just as lovely as ever, Tori.” He rolled his eyes and sent his empty glass sailing across the room to settle on another passing tray.

“I’m actually glad I ran into you.” She turned her attention to Draco, who was now chewing his meatball and scanning the room for Granger.

“Really? Why is that, Tori?”

She stepped closer, putting their bodies uncomfortably close. Her hand went to the his bow tie, playing with the silky fabric, loosening the bow. Draco stiffened at the proximity. At the scent of powder and roses.

“Because I know, Draco.” She cooed into his ear.

Theo’s look of alarm seemed to match the way Draco felt.

“Know...what?”

Her fingers moved from the bow tied around his collar, to his chin. “I know it was you.”

Draco wasn’t like Theo. He didn’t show every emotion on his face. But inside, he was balking at the feel of her fingers on him. The words she whispered into his ear. To any onlooker, she looked like any witch talking secretly to a lover.

“There was a particular need for blood in order to dismantle the ward.” She pressed into him, their bodies now flush with one another. “Which was done impeccably well, if I must say so myself. In fact, I wouldn’t have even noticed that something was wrong, if whoever removed the ward had bothered to reset it, using the same vial of blood they took from me.”

Fuck.

“What do you want, Tori?” Draco placed a hand on her shoulder, in a gentle attempt to push her away.

“I want it back.” She sniffed. “And I wouldn’t mind seeking a little entertainment in your humiliations, of course.” She pulled back and lifted the glass of champagne to her lips but paused when her eyes flicked behind him. “Oh, and my ring. I want my ring back.”

“What ring?”

“The Malfoy heirloom ring you were supposed to put on my finger. I know you have it. Your father told me you never returned it.” She held her glass out to Theo. “I’ll expect an invite to your home by Monday. I’ll come to you, of course.” She pressed the glass into Theo’s hands before sweeping past them.

Both Draco and Theo turned to watch her leave. Granger was standing several feet away, staring at them with only a hint of confusion.

Astoria stopped and leaned forward to whisper something into Granger’s ear before disappearing into the crowd.

Granger’s eyes snapped to Draco before she marched over.

“Granger, love!” Theo called and lifted the glass in a salute before taking a drink.

“I think you’ve had enough, Theo.”

“It’s incredibly addicting. I think it’s strawberry.”

Granger reached them in five or six long strides, her eyes trained on the loosened bow tie around Draco's collar.

“What did she say to you?” Draco asked.

“She’s wicked, don’t listen to her. She reminds me of —”

“Theo?”

Theo froze, his eyes widening in horror. Granger looked around Draco and choked and he knew why. He knew that voice. It was a voice he had once known intimately well. Having dated Pansy in school, it had been odd at first when Theo and Pansy later got together and proceeded to have a tumultuous relationship off and on that spanned over the course of a decade.

“Granger?” Pansy’s voice pitched as she eyed the witch beside Draco.

Theo swallowed and turned to face his ex lover. “Pansy.” His voice sounded strained as he wrapped his mouth around that name. 

Draco turned and smiled blandly at his old classmate. “Howdy, Parkinson.”

She scoffed and nodded to Granger who stepped up between himself and Theo.

“Hello Pansy.” Granger lifted her proud little chin.

Theo downed the rest of his champagne. “What brings you here?” He asked, his voice cracking slightly on the last word of his question.

She, like Granger, had aged well. Pansy was pretty in a different kind of way. She had a full, womanly figure like Granger but she had that forced grace bred into her. Her hair was longer, falling to her shoulders, rather than the shin length bob she used to sport. And her hair was black as a raven with a single streak of white hair perfectly styled in. As if she had embraced the inevitable process of age.

“Careful with those,” She lifted her chin at the glass in Theo’s hand. “Rumor has it somebody spiked it with a alcohol enhancing potion.”

“Well, that explains that.” Draco hummed as he slid his arm around Grangers shoulders.

“I heard the two of you were dating.” Pansy eyed the gesture with narrowed eyes before settling her scrutinizing eyes on Theo. “What are you doing here?” She looked suspicious. “Since when do you care about these sort of events without finding something to steal?”

Theo chuckled. “Who says that I am not here to steal something?” He lifted an eyebrow at her in challenge.

“Theo, I swear —”

"Oh, relax Pansy." Theo rolled his eyes. 

Pansy's cheeks had flushed with anger and glared at Theo, who was swaying slightly into Granger. "You look terrible. How many glasses have you had?" Her glare softened as she watched Theo smooth over the lines of his jacket. 

"Only four or five." He shrugged. Theo was eyeing Pansy, now. His eyes were scrutinizing and there was something quite sad about the two of them standing in the same room again. Pansy's body was rigid with tension, while Theo's was clearly more relaxed, thanks to the alcohol in his system. "What is it that you want, Pansy?" He squinted at her, one eyes more than the other. "Did you come over here to insult me, more? To rant about how I am nothing but a no good thief?" 

"Oh, please." She sniffed. "I just call it like I see it."

"Everyone's a thief, Pansy." Theo declared. "Some steal hearts, other steal jewels." He looked down at Granger. "Isn't that right?"

Granger sighed. Her body pressed into Draco's, as if seeking comfort amongst the tension.

"I never took what wasn't willingly given to me." Pansy seethed. "But you,"

"Only do what Robin Hood would have." Theo shrugged and Draco chuckled at the blatant lie. 

“Theo, sweetheart,” Granger finally interrupted, sliding her hand into his. “Draco and I are tired. Can we go home?” She pouted seductively up at him, while her other hand slid around Draco’s back.

Theo’s wide eyes flashed down to hers, a lopsided smile pulling at his mouth.

“Anything you want, love.” He slurred as he leaned forward and ran a finger along the side of her face. “You’re so pretty. Just like the moon.”

Granger couldn’t stop the snort that escaped her as she pulled Theo and Draco with her, guiding them away from Pansy Parkinson.

“What is this? Are you both shagging her?” She asked the question with a hint of disgust.

But Granger only smirked and battered her eyes. “Not yet.”

Nobody spoke until they arrived back to Zabini’s manor.

Teddy and Seamus were already in the study, waiting for them. Theo slumped into one of the sticky leather chairs while Draco took his seat behind the desk. He watched Granger look between the two wizards. Her hands were on her hips, and she was positioned in such a way that allowed the slit in her dress part, revealing the entire length of her tanned leg.

“Did you know?” She asked Theo. “Did you know Pansy would be there?”

Theo looked startled by her question. “How could I?”

“Are you talking about the girlfriend?” Teddy asked from where he sprawled out on the couch.

Everyone looked at him.

“Girlfriend?” Draco pulled the question out slowly. “You never told me about a girlfriend.”

“Oh.” Teddy blinked. “I thought I had. I couldn’t remember her name. I just knew it was a flower name. Started with a P. I kept thinking it was Petunia or Peony but,” he shrugged as if that had summed it all up.

“She’s dating Flamel?” Theo sounded disgusted.

“She lives with him,” Teddy supplied, rather unhelpful. "She's beautiful." He added even more unhelpfully.

"She looks like Cruella Devil." Granger snorted and rolled her shoulders back.

Theo jumped, unsteadily to his feet, and rounded on Granger. “What is it about that wizard? He's not even that good looking.”

She scoffed. “You wouldn’t had thought he was dating anyone when he asked me to ditch you two and meet him later tonight.” Granger fidgeted. "He is handsome. Very fit."

Frowning, Draco summoned a bag of crisps from the kitchen, having eaten entirely too little at the gala.

Theo groaned in disgust. “Gods, I cannot wait to take that stupid necklace from him. ”

Ginny came in, stumbling, despite the grip her husband held around her. “What necklace? I thought we were going after the Philosopher’s stone.”

Harry winced and Granger threw a handover her face.

“The what?” Theo balked.

Granger rounded on Harry, “You told Ginny?”

“She’s my wife, Hermione. We tell each other everything.” Harry said as he led his very drunk wife over to the empty spot beside Teddy.

“You never mentioned a stone, Theo.” Draco eyed his friend as he dug his fingers into the bag of crisps. Salt and vinegar, his least favorite.

“I said that there may be other valuable items in the vault.” He sniffed. “It was implied.” He turned to Granger, “We never agreed to give it to Potter.”

“I wasn’t going to just hand it over to Harry.” She rolled her eyes. “He was going to help me use it to come up with an elixir.”

“An elixir for what?” Theo eyed her. “Looking for a life of immortality?”

“Wait a minute.” Seamus shook his head, looking up from his laptop. “I thought that old bat destroyed the stone. He died ages ago. Didn���t he?” He looked over at Draco. “Did he?”

Ginny snorted. “Harry and I can live forever and watch our grandkids grow old and their grandkids and so on.”

Draco’s mouth quirked at the wonder in her declaration.

Harry sighed and shook his head. “Nobody is going to live forever.” Then he paused and looked at Theo. “What necklace?”

“I thought we were taking gold.” Seamus said to Teddy who shrugged.

“I knew about the stone.”

Draco began to chuckle as he dusted the greasy crumbs from his fingertips. “What do you intend to use the stone for, Granger?”

She turned to look at him and tilted her head. “I don’t want to say.” And then she straightened and sniffed. “What was Astoria Greengrass doing, pawing at you and whispering in your ear?”

He smiled and batted his eyes at her. “Jealous, Granger?”

She scowled at him, only confirming his suspicions.

Theo snorted and stumbled backwards, clearly still drunk. “She was threatening Draco.”

“What?” Everyone said at once.

“She knows about the Wand.”

Granger shook her head as she mentally began to calculate how that was even possible. She gasped, slamming a hand over her mouth. “Oh my gods! I didn’t reset the ward!”

Draco nodded and Theo reached for her hand. “It’s okay, Granger. I forgive you.”

She yanked her hand free and pointed a finger at her. “Well, don’t. Because I haven’t decided if I forgive you.”

Theo choked around several coughs before he put a hand over his heart. “Moi? Qu'est-ce que j'ai fait?”

“Pansy.” She said through clenched teeth.

“I didn’t Know,” he frowned and eyed her. “Are you jealous? You look jealous.”

She scoffed and threw her hands up in the air. “I need a drink.”

“Don’t worry about Astoria, Granger, I’ll take care of her.” Pansy, however, might present a problem, he thought as he watched her pace the floor, sufficiently flustered.

“What about Zabini? Did he manage to chum up with Flamel?” Seamus asked as he went back to tapping into his laptop.

Granger nodded as she went for the bottle of fire whiskey on the small wet bar in the corner of the study.

“He did. Zabini managed to invite him to lunch tomorrow.” She pour a small amount of liquor into the short glass before tossing it into the back of her throat.

“Are you about to get drunk, Granger? I love a drunk Granger.” Theo reached for her hand again but she managed to pull it out of his reach.

Ginny began to snore from her spot on the couch, causing Teddy to laugh like the youth that he is.

Harry frowned over at Granger. “I think Theo and Draco will understand why you want to use the stone, Hermione.”

“I don’t need them to understand.”

“Oh, so we don’t share personal things, now?” Draco drawled.

She frowned and threw an apologetic look at him.

“Does it have to do with your parents?” Theo asked, apparently well aware of her situation.

She shook her head.

“That stone is worth a lot.” Seamus mused aloud.

“I’m going to destroy the stone once Hermione’s done with it.” Harry said with a bit of gusto. 

Theo winced and reared back. “I beg your pardon?”

“The necklace is worth more than enough.” Draco amended. “We don’t need the stone. We all thought it was destroyed until now, didn’t we?”

Theo was staring at Granger, who was pouring herself another glass, this time to the tip of the top.

“Granger,” He sighed. Her eyes slid to him as she took a large sip. “I didn’t know.” His eyes were apologetic as they latched onto hers.

She swallowed her drink and sighed. “You didn’t know.” She nodded in understanding before she looked over at Draco and frowned. “And yes, I was jealous.”

And without further ado, she swept from the study, then train of her gown trailing behind her, and her whiskey still in hand.

Mastering Angular: Features, Benefits & Training in Hyderabad

A Comprehensive Guide to Angular: Powering Modern Web Development

Angular, an open-source framework developed by Google, has become one of the most popular choices for building dynamic and complex web applications. Released in 2010, Angular simplifies the development of single-page applications (SPAs) and provides a structured approach to creating scalable applications. In this article, we’ll explore the key features and benefits of Angular and why it remains a preferred choice for developers.

What is Angular?

Angular is a framework for building client-side applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (or TypeScript). It simplifies the process of developing large-scale, feature-rich applications by providing tools like two-way data binding, dependency injection, and routing. Angular is built on a component-based architecture, making it easy to manage complex applications by breaking them down into reusable, self-contained units.

For developers looking to master Angular, finding the Best Angular Training Institute in Hyderabad, Kukatpally, KPHB is essential to gaining hands-on experience and learning best practices.

Key Features of Angular

Component-Based Architecture

Angular is organized around reusable components, which consist of HTML templates, CSS, and TypeScript code. This makes it easier to manage complex applications by breaking them down into smaller, manageable parts.

TypeScript Support

Written in TypeScript, Angular benefits from static typing, object-oriented features, and improved tooling. TypeScript helps catch errors early and enables better developer productivity.

Two-Way Data Binding

Angular automatically synchronizes data between the model and the view, reducing the need to manually update the user interface when data changes.

Dependency Injection (DI)

DI simplifies the management of services and dependencies by injecting them into components, which makes testing and maintaining the application easier.

Routing

Angular's built-in router manages navigation within single-page applications, allowing developers to define routes and link them to specific components.

RxJS for Reactive Programming

Angular leverages RxJS to manage asynchronous data streams in a declarative manner, making it easier to handle events, such as HTTP requests and user interactions.

Benefits of Using Angular

Complete Ecosystem

Angular comes with everything needed to build modern web applications, including tools, libraries, and best practices. This ecosystem reduces reliance on third-party tools and ensures consistency across the development process.

High Performance

Angular offers features like Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation and tree shaking, which optimize the performance of applications by reducing load times and bundle sizes.

Cross-Platform Development

Angular supports building cross-platform applications. Developers can create apps that run on different platforms, including web, mobile, and server-side environments.

Strong Community and Support

With Google’s backing and a large developer community, Angular enjoys continuous updates, plugins, and extensive resources, making it a reliable choice for enterprise applications.

Scalability

Angular is designed to handle both small and large applications. Its modular structure and component-based approach allow for growth without sacrificing performance or maintainability.

Why Angular is Still Popular

Despite the rise of other JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue.js, Angular remains a go-to choice, especially for enterprise-level applications. Its complete ecosystem, strong tooling, and scalability make it suitable for large-scale projects requiring complex features and performance optimizations. The integration of TypeScript also brings added security and discipline, making Angular a reliable choice for teams working on large applications.

Conclusion

Angular’s powerful features, flexibility, and scalability make it an excellent choice for developing dynamic and scalable web applications.

Identity Security

In today's digitized world, where everything from shopping to banking is conducted online, ensuring identity security has become paramount. With cyber threats rising, protecting our personal information from unauthorized access has become more critical than ever. This blog post will delve into identity security, its significance, and practical steps to safeguard your digital footprint.

Identity security is the measures taken to protect personal information from being accessed, shared, or misused without authorization. It encompasses a range of practices designed to safeguard one's identity, such as securing online accounts, protecting passwords, and practicing safe online browsing habits. Maintaining robust identity security is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps prevent identity theft, which can have severe consequences, including financial loss, damage to one's credit score, and emotional distress. Secondly, identity security safeguards personal privacy by ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential. Lastly, it helps build trust in online platforms and e-commerce, enabling users to transact confidently.

Highlights: Identity Security

Sophisticated Attacks

Identity security has pushed authentication to a new, more secure landscape, reacting to improved technologies and sophisticated attacks. The need for more accessible and secure authentication has led to the wide adoption of zero-trust identity management zero trust authentication technologies like risk-based authentication (RBA), fast identity online (FIDO2), and just-in-time (JIT) techniques.

New Attack Surface

If you examine our identities, applications, and devices, they are in the crosshairs of bad actors, making them probable threat vectors. In addition, we are challenged by the sophistication of our infrastructure, which increases our attack surface and creates gaps in our visibility. Controlling access and the holes created by complexity is the basis of all healthy security. Before we jump into the zero-trust authentication and components needed to adopt zero-trust identity management, let’s start with the basics of identity security.

Details on starting a zero trust identity security project.

Back to basics: Identity Security

In its simplest terms, an identity is an account or a persona that can interact with a system or application. And we can have different types of identities.

Human Identity: Human identities are the most common. These identities could be users, customers, or other stakeholders requiring various access levels to computers, networks, cloud applications, smartphones, routers, servers, controllers, sensors, etc. 

Non-Human: Identities are also non-human as operations automate more processes. These types of identities are seen in more recent cloud-native environments. Applications and microservices use these machine identities for API access, communication, and the CI/CD tools. 

♦Tips for Ensuring Identity Security:

1. Strong Passwords: Create unique, complex passwords for all your online accounts. Passwords should contain a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Do not use easily guessable information, such as birthdates or pet names.

2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA whenever possible. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring an additional verification step, such as a temporary code sent to your phone or email.

3. Keep Software Up to Date: Regularly update your operating system, antivirus software, and other applications. These updates often include security patches that address known vulnerabilities.

4. Be Cautious with Personal Information: Be mindful of the information you share online. Avoid posting sensitive details on public platforms or unsecured websites, such as your full address or social security number.

5. Secure Wi-Fi Networks: When connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, ensure they are secure and encrypted. Avoid accessing sensitive information, such as online banking, on public networks.

6. Regularly Monitor Accounts: Keep a close eye on your financial accounts, credit reports, and other online platforms where personal information is stored. Report any suspicious activity immediately.

7. Use Secure Websites: Look for the padlock symbol and “https” in the website address when providing personal information or making online transactions. This indicates that the connection is secure and encrypted.

Example: Identity Security: The Workflow 

The concept of identity security is straightforward and follows a standard workflow that can be understood and secured. First, a user logs into their employee desktop and is authenticated as an individual who should have access to this network segment. This is the authentication stage.

They have appropriate permissions assigned so they can navigate to the required assets (such as an application or file servers) and are authorized as someone who should have access to this application. This is the authorization stage.

As they move across the network to carry out their day-to-day duties, all of this movement is logged, and all access information is captured and analyzed for auditing purposes. Anything outside of normal behavior is flagged. Splunk UEBA has good features here.Diagram: Identity security workflow.

Identity Security: Stage of Authentication

Authentication: You need to authenticate every human and non-human identity accurately. After an identity is authenticated to confirm who it is, it only gets a free one for some to access the system with impunity. 

Identity Security: Stage of Re-Authentication

Identities should be re-authenticated if the system detects suspicious behavior or before completing tasks and accessing data that is deemed to be highly sensitive. If we have an identity that acts outside of normal baseline behavior, they must re-authenticate.

Identity Security: Stage of Authorization

Then we need to move to the authorization: It’s necessary to authorize the user to ensure they’re allowed access to the asset only when required and only with the permissions they need to do their job. So we have authorized each identity on the network with the proper permissions so they can access what they need and not more. 

Identity Security: Stage of Access

Then we look into the Access: Provide access for that identity to authorized assets in a structured manner. How can the appropriate access be given to the person/user/device/bot/script/account and nothing more? Following the practices of zero trust identity management and least privilege. Ideally, access is granted to microsegments instead of significant VLANs based on traditional zone-based networking.

Identity Security: Stage of Audit

Finally, Audit: All identity activity must be audited or accounted for. Auditing allows insight and evidence that Identity Security policies are working as intended. How do you monitor the activities of identities? How do you reconstruct and analyze the actions an identity performed?

An auditing capability ensures visibility into activities performed by an identity, provides context for the identity’s usage and behavior, and enables analytics that identify risk and provide insights to make smarter decisions about access.

Starting Zero Trust Identity Management

Now, we have an identity as the new perimeter compounded by identity being the new target. Any identity is a target. Looking at the modern enterprise landscape, it’s easy to see why. Every employee has multiple identities and uses several devices.

What makes this worse is that security teams’ primary issue is that identity-driven attacks are hard to detect. For example, how do you know if a bad actor or a sys admin uses the privilege controls? As a result, security teams must find a reliable way to monitor suspicious user behavior to determine the signs of compromised identities.

We now have identity sprawl,, which may be acceptable if only one of those identities has user access. However, they don’t, and they most likely have privileged access. All these widen the attack surface by creating additional human and machine identities that can gain privileged access under certain conditions. All of which will establish new pathways for bad actors.

We must adopt a different approach to secure our identities regardless of where they may be. Here, we can look for a zero-trust identity management approach based on identity security. Next, I’d like to discuss your common challenges when adopting identity security.Diagram: Zero trust identity management. The challenges.

Challenges to zero trust identity management

Challenge: Zero trust identity management and privilege credential compromise

Current environments may result in anonymous access to privileged accounts and sensitive information. Unsurprisingly, 80% of breaches start with compromised privilege credentials. If left unsecured, attackers can compromise these valuable secrets and credentials to gain possession of privileged accounts and perform advanced attacks or use them to exfiltrate data.

Challenge: Zero trust identity management and exploiting privileged accounts

So, we have two types of bad actors. First, there are external attackers and malicious insiders that can exploit privileged accounts to orchestrate a variety of attacks. Privileged accounts are used in nearly every cyber attack. With privileged access, bad actors can disable systems, take control of IT infrastructure, and gain access to sensitive data. So, we face several challenges when securing identities, namely protecting, controlling, and monitoring privileged access.

Challenge: Zero trust identity management and lateral movements

Lateral movements will happen. A bad actor has to move throughout the network. They will never land directly on a database or important file server. The initial entry point into the network could be an unsecured IoT device, which does not hold sensitive data. As a result, bad actors need to pivot across the network.

They will laterally move throughout the network with these privileged accounts, looking for high-value targets. They then use their elevated privileges to steal confidential information and exfiltrate data. There are many ways to exfiltrate data, with DNS being a common vector that often goes unmonitored. How do you know a bad actor is moving laterally with admin credentials using admin tools built into standard Windows desktops?

Challenge: Zero trust identity management and distributed attacks

These attacks are distributed, and there will be many dots to connect to understand threats on the network. Could you look at ransomware? Enrolling the malware needs elevated privilege, and it’s better to detect this before the encryption starts. Some ransomware families perform partial encryption quickly. Once encryption starts, it’s game over. You need to detect this early in the kill chain in the detect phase.

The best way to approach zero trust authentication is to know who accesses the data, ensure the users they claim to be, and operate on the trusted endpoint that meets compliance. There are plenty of ways to authenticate to the network; many claim password-based authentication is weak.

The core of identity security is understanding that passwords can be phished; essentially, using a password is sharing. So, we need to add multifactor authentication (MFA). MFA gives a big lift but needs to be done well. You can get breached even if you have an MFA solution in place.

Knowledge Check: Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

More than simple passwords are needed for healthy security. A password is a single authentication factor – anyone with it can use it. No matter how strong it is, keeping information private is useless if lost or stolen. You must use a different secondary authentication factor to secure your data appropriately.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

•Two-factor authentication: This method uses two-factor classes to provide authentication. It is also known as ‘2FA’ and ‘TFA.’

•Multi-factor authentication: use of two or more factor classes to provide authentication. This is also represented as ‘MFA.’

•Two-step verification: This method of authentication involves two independent steps but does not necessarily require two separate factor classes. It is also known as ‘2SV’.

•Strong authentication: authentication beyond simply a password. It may be represented by the usage of ‘security questions’ or layered security like two-factor authentication.

The Move For Zero Trust Authentication

No MFA solution is an island. Every MFA solution is just one part of multiple components, relationships, and dependencies. Each piece is an additional area where an exploitable vulnerability can occur.

Essentially, any component in the MFA’s life cycle, from provisioning to de-provisioning and everything in between, is subject to exploitable vulnerabilities and hacking. And like the proverbial chain, it’s only as strong as its weakest link.

The need for zero trust authentication: Two or More Hacking Methods Used

Many MFA attacks use two or more of the leading hacking methods. Often, social engineering is used to start the attack and get the victim to click on a link or to activate a process, which then uses one of the other methods to accomplish the necessary technical hacking. 

For example, a user gets a phishing email directing them to a fake website, which accomplishes a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and steals credential secrets. Or physical theft of a hardware token is performed, and then the token is forensically examined to find the stored authentication secrets. MFA hacking requires using two or all of these main hacking methods.

You can’t rely on MFA alone; you must validate privileged users with context-aware Adaptive Multifactor Authentication and secure access to business resources with Single Sign-On. Unfortunately, credential theft remains the No. 1 area of risk. And bad actors are getting better at bypassing MFA using a variety of vectors and techniques.

For example, a bad actor can be tricked into accepting a push notification to their smartphone to grant access in the context of getting admission. You are still acceptable to man-in-the-middle attacks. This is why MFA and IDP vendors introduce risk-based authentication and step-up authentication. These techniques limited the attack surface, which we will talk about soon.

Considerations for zero trust authentication 

Think like a bad actor.

By thinking like a bad actor, we can attempt to identify suspicious activity, restrict lateral movement, and contain threats. Try envisioning what you would look for if you were a bad external actor or malicious insider. For example, are you looking to steal sensitive data to sell it to competitors, or are you looking to start Ransomware binaries or use your infrastructure for illicit crypto mining? 

Attacks with happen

The harsh reality is that attacks will happen, and you can only partially secure some of their applications and infrastructure wherever they exist. So it’s not a matter of ‘if’ but a concern of “when.” Protection from all the various methods that attackers use is virtually impossible, and there will occasionally be day 0 attacks. So, they will get in eventually; It’s all about what they can do once they are in.Diagram: Zero trust authentication. Key considerations.

The first action is to protect Identities.

Therefore, the very first thing you must do is protect their identities and prioritize what matters most – privileged access. Infrastructure and critical data are only fully protected if privileged accounts, credentials, and secrets are secured and protected.

The bad actor needs privileged access.

We know that about 80% of breaches tied to hacking involve using lost or stolen credentials. Compromised identities are the common denominator in virtually every severe attack. The reason is apparent: 

The bad actor needs privileged access to the network infrastructure to steal data. However, without privileged access, an attacker is severely limited in what they can do. Furthermore, without privileged access, they may be unable to pivot from one machine to another. And the chances of landing on a high-value target are doubtful.

The malware requires admin access.

The malware used to pivot and requires admin access to gain persistence; privileged access without vigilant management creates an ever-growing attack surface around privileged accounts.

Adopting Zero Trust Authentication 

Zero trust authentication: Technology with Fast Identity Online (FIDO2)

Where can you start identity security with all of this? Firstly, we can look at a zero-trust authentication protocol. We need an authentication protocol that can be phishing-resistant. This is FIDO2, known as Fast Identity Online (FIDO2), built on two protocols that effectively remove any blind protocols. FIDO authentication Fast Identity Online (FIDO) is a challenge-response protocol that uses public-key cryptography. Rather than using certificates, it manages keys automatically and beneath the covers.

The FIDO2 standards

FIDO2 uses two standards. The Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) describes how a browser or operating system establishes a connection to a FIDO authenticator. The WebAuthn protocol is built into browsers and provides an API that JavaScript from a web service can use to register a FIDO key, send a challenge to the authenticator, and receive a response to the challenge.

So there is an application the user wants to go to, and then we have the client that is often the system’s browser, but it can be an application that can speak and understand WebAuthn. FIDO provides a secure and convenient way to authenticate users without using passwords, SMS codes, or TOTP authenticator applications. Modern computers and smartphones and most mainstream browsers understand FIDO natively. 

FIDO2 addresses phishing by cryptographically proving that the end-user has a physical position over the authentication. There are two types of authenticators: a local authenticator, such as a USB device, and a roaming authenticator, such as a mobile device. These need to be certified FIDO2 vendors. 

The other is a platform authenticator such as Touch ID or Windows Hello. While roaming authenticators are available, for most use cases, platform authenticators are sufficient. This makes FIDO an easy, inexpensive way for people to authenticate. The biggest impediment to its widespread use is that people won’t believe something so easy is secure.

Zero trust authentication: Technology with risk-based authentication

Risk is not a static attribute, and it needs to be re-calculated and re-evaluated so you can make intelligent decisions for step-up and user authentication. We have Cisco DUO that reacts to risk-based signals at the point of authentication.

So, these risk signals are processed in real time to detect signs of known account takeout signals. These signals may include Push Bombs, Push Sprays, and Fatigue attacks. Also, a change of location can signal high risk. Risk-based authentication (RBA) is usually coupled with step-up authentication.

For example, let’s say your employees are under attack. RBA can detect this attack as a stuffing attack and move from a classic authentication approach to a more secure verified PUSH approach than the standard PUSH. 

This would add more friction but result in better security, such as adding three to six digital display keys at your location/devices, and you need to enter this key in your application. This eliminates fatigue attacks. This verified PUSH approach can be enabled at an enterprise level or just for a group of users.

Conditional Access

Then, we move towards conditional access, a step beyond authentication. Conditional access goes beyond authentication to examine the context and risk of each access attempt. For example, contextual factors may include consecutive login failures, geo-location, type of user account, or device IP to either grant or deny access. Based on those contextual factors, it may be granted only to specific network segments. 

A key point: Risk-based decisions and recommended capabilities

The identity security solution should be configurable to allow SSO access, challenge the user with MFA, or block access based on predefined conditions set by policy. It would help if you looked for a solution that can offer a broad range of shapes, such as IP range, day of the week, time of day, time range, device O/S, browser type, country, and user risk level. 

These context-based access policies should be enforceable across users, applications, workstations, mobile devices, servers, network devices, and VPNs. A key question is whether the solution makes risk-based access decisions using a behavior profile calculated for each user.

Zero trust authentication: Technology with JIT techniques

Secure privileged access and manage entitlements. For this reason, many enterprises employ a least privilege approach, where access is restricted to the resources necessary for the end-user to complete their job responsibilities with no extra permission. A standard technology here would be Just in Time (JIT). Implementing JIT ensures that identities have only the appropriate privileges, when necessary, as quickly as possible and for the least time required. 

JIT techniques that dynamically elevate rights only when needed are a technology to enforce the least privilege. The solution allows for JIT elevation and access on a “by request” basis for a predefined period, with a full audit of privileged activities. Full administrative rights or application-level access can be granted, time-limited, and revoked.

Final Notes For Identity Security 

Zero trust identity management is where we continuously verify users and devices to ensure access, and privileges are granted only when needed. The backbone of zero-trust identity security starts by assuming that any human or machine identity with access to your applications and systems may have been compromised.

The “assume breach” mentality requires vigilance and a Zero Trust approach to security centered on securing identities. With identity security as the backbone of a zero-trust process, teams can focus on identifying, isolating, and stopping threats from compromising identities and gaining privilege before they can harm.Diagram: Identity Security: Final notes.

Zero Trust Authentication

The identity-centric focus of zero trust authentication uses an approach to security to ensure that every person and every device granted access is who and what they say they are. It achieves this authentication by focusing on the following key components:

The network is always assumed to be hostile.

External and internal threats always exist on the network.

Network locality needs to be more sufficient for deciding trust in a network. Just so you know, other contextual factors, as discussed, must be taken into account.

Every device, user, and network flow is authenticated and authorized. All of this must be logged.

Security policies must be dynamic and calculated from as many data sources as possible.

Zero Trust Identity: Validate Every Device

Not just the user

Validate every device. While user verification adds a level of security, more is needed. We must ensure that the devices are authenticated and associated with verified users, not just the users.

Risk-based access

Risk-based access intelligence should reduce the attack surface after a device has been validated and verified as belonging to an authorized user. This allows aspects of the security posture of endpoints, like device location, a device certificate, OS, browser, and time, to be used for further access validation. 

Device Validation: Reduce the attack surface

Remember that while device validation helps limit the attack surface, device validation is only as reliable as the endpoint’s security. Antivirus software to secure endpoint devices will only get you so far. We need additional tools and mechanisms that can tighten security even further.

A Complete Guide to Create SEO-Friendly React Web Applications

SEO plays a crucial role in the success of any web application today, like any other website. The quality and consistency of SEO determine not just the traffic to a business's website but also its overall success. However, owning a React website presents a range of SEO hurdles that require unique strategic solutions.

The main issue stems from many React JS developers and companies prioritizing client-side rendering, while Google emphasizes server-side rendering. This is a singular situation that poses significant hurdles for SEO in React. While this is a challenge to tackle, it is not impossible.

If you are a business looking to build a React SEO-friendly website, let us help you with how you can do that based on our years of experience as an expert React.js website developer. 

How Does the Google Bot Crawl Web Pages?

When developing a website, you need to consider SEO from the early stages of the development process. This will help you create a site optimized for search engines right from the beginning. To understand this better, let's explore the intricate crawling process of Google Bot..

This is essential for React JS developers to optimize React websites and boost their search engine visibility.

Although this is a rather complex process, a simple explanation is as follows:

Step#1: Finding URLs

This is the first step, where Googlebot sources URLs from various destinations. It could be from Google Search Console, XML sitemaps, links between sites, etc.

Step #2: Adding URLs to the queue

The URLs enter the queue where Googlebot will process them. Usually, the URLs stay in the queue for only a few seconds, but it can also take several days.

Step #3: HTTP request

Here, the crawler sends an HTTP request to gather the header and proceeds based on the response codes:

Code 200: Crawl and parse the HTML.

Code 30X: Follow the redirects.

Code 40X: Note the error and do not load the HTML

Code 50X: Come back later to check if the status code has changed.

Step #4: Render Queue

Here, the system processes and parses the content on the URL.

Step #5: Index

If the URL meets all the Googlebot criteria, it gets indexed.

We hope that you now have an idea of how the crawling and indexing process works at Google.

General SEO Challenges of Creating React Web Application

Some challenges can happen when creating a React-based website, like every other website. These general SEO challenges that React JS developers must address are:

Empty first-pass content

Regarding React applications, JavaScript dependency poses challenges for search engines. The app shell model used by React means that the initial HTML lacks meaningful content, requiring JavaScript execution for users and bots to access the page. This leads to Googlebot encountering empty pages during the initial pass and delays in indexing pages.

Page metadata

Meta tags are essential for displaying accurate page thumbnails, titles, and descriptions on social media sites and Google. However, React JS renders all content, including meta tags, without performing JavaScript on the landing page. As the app shell remains the same, it becomes difficult for individual pages to adapt their metadata accordingly.

Sitemap

Sitemaps are crucial for providing details about a site's videos, pages, and relationships. While Google relies on sitemaps for effective crawling, React JS lacks built-in support for creating sitemaps. If you are using React Router, you need to find additional tools to generate a sitemap, which means you need to work more.

User experience and loading time

JavaScript execution, fetching, and parsing consume significant time, impacting a site's user experience and loading speed. In some cases, JavaScript makes network calls to fetch content, causing users to wait for the requested details. As Google assesses user experience and load time as ranking criteria, extended loading times can negatively affect user experience and lead to lower rankings.

Other SEO considerations

You can use a CDN to bring static assets and reduce the loading time. Another area you must focus on is the proper use of Robot.txt on your site to ensure a React SE-friendly website.

React SEO Challenges

Let us know and understand why making a React web application SEO-friendly is hard.

Use of Single Page Applications (SPAs)

Making a single-page application is a preferred way for React JS developers to reduce the site's loading time. What happens with this approach is that it only reloads some of the content. Instead, it refreshes the content, which has helped improve the SEO performance of the website considerably.

Absence of dynamic SEO tags

Single Page Applications load information dynamically. Therefore, when Googlebot accesses a specific link on the page, it completes the entire load cycle. This leads to the SPA getting indexed with an empty page. React JS developers can fix this issue by creating additional pages for Googlebot. However, it might give rise to another challenge in increasing expenditure for the business due to developing new pages.

SEO problems with SPAs

Single Page Applications also have a variety of other challenges when it comes to SEO. However, by optimizing the website thoroughly, these problems can be addressed by a React JS development company.

How to Make React Apps SEO-Friendly

In the previous sections of the blog, we discussed how SEO is challenging with React websites. Let’s try to understand how to make an SEO-friendly React web application.

The following approaches will help you with this.

Isomorphic React

Finding whether server-side JavaScript is enabled or not is challenging. However, using Isomorphic JavaScript Technology can help you in this regard. The technology can detect whether server-side JavaScript is enabled automatically.

When enabled, JavaScript acts dynamically, powering fast loading and delivering a smooth user experience in single-page apps (SPAs).

On the contrary, when JavaScript is disabled, it serves the final content to the client side, providing all necessary attributes upon page load.

Prerendering 

Prerendering is a critical approach that many React developers use to optimize single-page and multi-page web apps for SEO. It tackles rendering issues for crawlers or search bots.

The prerenders, unique programs that limit requests to the website, send a cached static HTML version of your site if the request comes from a crawler. If the request comes from a user, the page loads normally.

Advantages of prerendering

Adept at executing diverse modern JavaScript and transferring them into static HTML.

Prerendering is easy to incorporate into your React websites.

It can support all the latest website features.

Disadvantages of prerendering

The services cost money to execute.

They are not suitable for pages that frequently change content.

It can lead to slow loading time if the site is vast.

Server-side rendering

A React development company must understand client-side rendering and server-side rendering to ensure better SEO when building a React web app. Client-side rendering initially provides empty HTML files, with the content downloaded via JavaScript code later. In contrast, server-side rendering delivers HTML files with complete content to browsers and Google bots. That’s why server-side rendering is preferred to ensure seamless indexing and higher rankings.

React SEO Best Practices

Now that you have understood the challenges associated with creating React SEO-friendly websites and how to tackle them let's try to understand the best SEO practices for React websites, as well, here.

Sticking to a few best practices can make your efforts more effective when you are looking to optimize your React website for search engines.

Choose between static and dynamic web apps.

When ranking your site, constantly evaluate the content your website offers your target market. Single-page applications (SPAs) can be challenging for Google to fetch for indexing and SEO.

However, server-side rendering in static or dynamic web apps helps Google crawl your site effectively. Hence, a static page is preferred for SEO unless your business needs dynamic to deliver your services on the page.

Mind your URL case

Ensure consistency by using lowercase URLs. Google treats URLs with different cases as separate pages. This can lead to indexing and ranking issues, such as indexing the same pages under two different URLs, which will compete with each other for ranking. This will bring your ranking down.

Handle 404 errors

Handling 404 errors is crucial for your React website's SEO. You must set up server.js and route.js files promptly to handle such page errors. Properly configuring these files improves the traffic flow to your web app or website.

Avoid hashed URLs

While not a significant concern, Googlebot doesn't process content after the hash in URLs. Stick to URLs like "https://domain.com/" without the hash for optimal crawling and indexing. Googlebot sees no difference between "https://domain.com/" and "https://domain.com/#/product."

Conclusion

As you have seen, making a React website SEO-friendly is challenging. Without SEO, getting rankings for your preferred keywords and bringing traffic to your website is a distant dream. That’s why you must always use all the possible techniques and approaches to make an SEO-friendly React website for your business. However, you must do it carefully as it can break your website if not done correctly. The best way to do that is to hire an experienced React JS development company to help develop your site and make it SEO-friendly.

Previous Scene: Hitting the Beach

Masterlist: Link

INT. CHEERM APARTMENT COMPLEX - DAY

The four of them are standing in the lobby of a small, run-down apartment complex, in front of a call box. Dave scans the apartment listings as Sam taps her foot impatiently.

SAM: This is Cheerm? I thought it was a company.

REZA: For an internet startup, you never have to leave your home, y’know.  (dramatically) The real American Dream!

He pauses expectantly, but neither Sam nor Dave react. After a moment, Rhea lets out a small chuckle.

REZA: Thank you! At least someone around here appreciates me.

Dave finds the Cheerm listing, and buzzes up. A female voice answers.

JESSICA (V.O.): Cheerm HQ!

DAVE: My name’s Dave, I’m with the city. Do you mind if we could chat for a minute?

Sam frowns at him, clearly skeptical. Rhea and Reza exchange a glance. After a pause, the voice returns.

JESSICA (V.O.): Totes! No prob, just punch 2139 into the call box and come on up!

Sam raises an eyebrow. Dave shrugs.

SAM (sarcastically): Look at you, Prince Charming.

DAVE: What can I say? It works.

The elevator opens, and the four of them file in. As it ascends, Rhea attempts to make conversation.

RHEA (to Reza): So, you... uh... have you been out this way before?

REZA: Huh? Uh? Um, yeah, this place is... uh... it’s really... I’ve been here... one time, it’s nice, right?

Dave facepalms at Reza’s awkwardness. Before Rhea has the chance to respond, the doors slide open on the top floor, right across from a door marked ‘CHEERM’ in huge, bright lettering. Dave shrugs.

DAVE: They aren’t exactly subtle...

He knocks on the door. After a second, the door opens narrowly, and a young woman in workout clothes peers through the opening. This is JESSICA GREENE, though at this time we do not know her name. She smiles innocently at the group.

JESSICA: Hi there! Can I help you guys?

RHEA: We... um, or, uh, we’re... 

Dave steps in when he notices Rhea blushing and tripping over her words.

DAVE: I’m Detective Dave Reyes. This is my partner, Marshal Sam Massey, and my colleagues, Reza Fassihi and Rhea Sarkar. What’s your name?

In the background, Rhea does an excited shudder when Dave introduces her as a ‘colleague.’ Jessica smiles apologetically and shrugs.

JESSICA: I’m, uh... Monika. Duh. Sorry, I know I’m a total ditz, right? Did you need something?

Sam frowns.

SAM: Who would we talk to about this ‘Cheerm’ company?

JESSICA: Huh? Oh... yeah, that would be my brother, Chad. He and his friend Todd started this dumb company last year. I can totes give him a message if you wanna tell me what this is all about?

DAVE: The thing is, Monika...

He goes into ‘flirt mode,’ leaning against the door, lowering his voice, and gazing into ‘Monika’s’ eyes.

DAVE: Y’know... I could really use your help on this one. I’d owe you, big time.

JESSICA: Oh yeah? What would you owe me, Mr. Detective?

DAVE: I guess we’d have to find out.

Sam rolls her eyes at Dave’s ridiculous ‘flirt mode.’

SAM: You’re kidding me. This’ll never work...

JESSICA (giggles): Well, if you need to talk to Chad and Todd, they’re down on the beach right now for a brainstorming sesh!

Sam’s jaw drops. Dave smirks at her before continuing.

DAVE: Thanks, Monika. You’re a lifesaver!

RHEA: You’ve been everything!

JESSICA (confused): ...What?

RHEA: Oh my God that was so stupid! I meant to say ‘You’ve been a big help’ or ‘Thanks for everything’ but then I somehow mixed them up and said ‘You’ve been everything’ I’m such an idiot I’m so sorry!

JESSICA: Uh... okay. Thank you.

She forces a smile and closes the door. Rhea sighs and puts her head in her hands.

RHEA: I am so stupid!

REZA: Yeah. I know.

Rhea gives him a look. Reza blanches.

REZA: Wait, no, I didn’t mean- not like that! I just meant, I’m awkwardly stupid too, so I get it! Er, wait! No, I wasn’t calling you stupid! And... yeah, okay, I’ll stop now.

DAVE: I think you just proved your point.

REZA: Guess I’m forever doomed to stammer like an idiot around cute girls.

SAM (sighs): Can we just go find these brainstorming executives? Please?

DAVE: You go on ahead. I’ve got a hunch I want to follow up on.

SAM: Sure you do.

She and Reza head back toward the elevator. Rhea stays, glancing between Sam and Dave for a moment.

SAM: Paparazzi? You comin’?

RHEA: Not right now. I’ve... also got a hunch.

SAM (shrugs): Suit yourself.

The elevator dings, and Sam and Reza enter and descend. After a moment, Dave knocks on the door again. They wait several seconds, with no response.

RHEA: Maybe she... fell asleep?

DAVE: Not likely.

Dave knocks again, and waits for another long moment. Still, nothing happens.

RHEA: Are you, y’know, suspecting something?

DAVE: Possibly...

He draws his gun. Rhea gasps.

RHEA: Are you gonna need that?!

DAVE: Sure hope not.

Dave leans back, then slams his heel through the door. The lock splinters, and he sprints inside, followed a moment later by Rhea. Inside, the room is filled with several computers, routers, and other devices. Jessica stands up against one of the computer towers, holding a handheld device up to it.

DAVE: You! Stop!

Jessica hesitates at Dave’s voice for only a second, then returns to what she was doing. As Dave and Rhea watch, the computer monitor she is standing with winks out, dead. Rhea gasps in recognition.

RHEA: Oh my God, I know what that is! It’s one of those high-powered magnet things they use to erase computers!

DAVE: She’s erasing the evidence! (to Jessica) Stop, don’t do this!

JESSICA (tearfully): I have to! I have to run, or I’m dead!

RHEA: Wait! Please! I know how you feel!

JESSICA: Shut up! I don’t need a lecture from a cop!

As Jessica crosses to the next computer and starts holding the device up to it, Rhea approaches her, showing her empty hands.

DAVE: Rhea! No! You’re just-

RHEA: Look. Monika. I’m not a cop; I’m just a journalist. Barely out of college. A nobody, pretty much.

To Dave’s shock, Jessica actually hesitates, curious about what Rhea is going to say.

RHEA: I’m not-

Rhea pauses, taking a deep breath and quickly composing herself before continuing, more confidently this time.

RHEA: I’m not saying I know who you are. All I can say is that I know the kind of person you are; and that’s someone who knows what she can do. Nothing more; nothing less. I know what it’s like to feel like you’re overlooked, overshadowed.

JESSICA (hesitantly): I... I don’t know what you’re talking about.

RHEA: Let me take a guess. People take you for granted, don’t they? You can spend every day of your life doing everything for them behind the scenes, all the little inconvenient details that help their jobs to keep existing, and the simple “thank you” that you deserve... never comes. So you feel like you have to do something extreme. Because, you’re afraid that if you don’t, you’ll actually... truly... be alone, forever.

There is a long, drawn-out pause. Rhea and Jessica keep their gazes on each other, neither one willing to be the first to look away. Behind Rhea, Dave slowly lowers his pistol. After a moment or two, a single tear drips down the side of Jessica’s face, and she averts her gaze.

JESSICA: I... you... (sighs) It’s too late for me. I can’t change now.

Rhea shakes her head.

RHEA: No. It’s not too late. We can help you. It’s never too late.

Slowly, Jessica starts lowering the magnet, slumping to the floor. Rhea crosses over to her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. A few seconds later, Dave starts approaching the two of them. Jessica looks up at him, her eyes wet with tears.

JESSICA: I... please...

DAVE (gently): Look, you’re doing the right thing. You’ve made the right choice. But the things you did... you’re still going to have to pay the price. I’m sorry, but right now, I’m gonna need you to come-

To Dave and Rhea’s surprise, Jessica holds out her wrists toward Dave. Her expression has changed, a distinct look of fear now joining the sadness on her face.

JESSICA: I know. Please, Officer, let’s go. Now. Please!

Dave takes a step back, confused and suspicious at the strange request. Rhea looks at Jessica curiously.

RHEA: What is this? Some kind of trick?

Jessica starts shaking her head in frantic desperation.

JESSICA: No trick! I promise! Please, just take me back to the station. Lock me up for life if you have to, just get me away from here!

DAVE: Monika, explain. Now.

JESSICA: You don’t understand, there’s no time! You need to get me away from here, he’s-

With an ominous thud, the power to the building suddenly cuts out, plunging the room into darkness. Dave reflexively draws his pistol, aiming it at Jessica.

DAVE: What is this? What did you do?!

JESSICA (panicked): No! No, no, no... He’s here, you’re too late, he’s gonna kill me!

RHEA: Who?! Monika, what’s going on?

JESSICA: Gavin’s killer. John Tull.

Dave, his eyes still adjusting to the darkness, startles at her words, swiveling his stance around so he and his gun are now facing the entrance. Rhea tenses, backing herself and Jessica up against the wall.

JESSICA: He’s here to kill me.

Something Awesome: Data Thief or Gift Recipient

Okay, we’ve seen more than a few attacks that can be performed when someone clicks a link or navigates to a website.

Cryptojacking

Cross Site Request Forgery

Drive-By Attacks

Zoom 0day

But it’s time to pay homage to the attack that’s hidden in plain site. 

tldr; head over to https://fingerprintme.herokuapp.com/ for some fun.

Passive Data Theft

I hesitate to call it theft when in fact we are giving all of this data to every website we visit like a little gift. 

Please, accept this bundle of quasi-identifiers as a token of my appreciation.

Many internet users have no idea just how much data is available to websites they are visiting, so it’s worth exploring just what is in our present.

IP Address and Geolocation API

Like any good gift giver, we better write on the tag. 

To: <website server> From: <your IP address>

Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a little 32-bit (now possibly 128-bit) number that uniquely identifies your device on the Internet. This is by design; people need to be able to address you to be able to send you any packets. A static 1:1 mapping of devices to IPs is definitely a massive exaggeration today as as we use technologies to let multiple devices share one IP, dynamically acquire an IP for each session, and our ISPs (Internet Service Providers) may also dynamically assign our IP address.

Nonetheless, IP addresses have (again by design) another function; location addressing. This is because when you’re internet traffic is propagating through the Internet (a global network of routers) it needs to know where it physically needs to go, and fast. Owing to this, the internet has taken on a hierarchical structure, with different ISPs servicing different geographical regions. These ISPs are tiered such that lower tier ISPs service specific subsets of the upper level tier’s region, providing more geographical specificity. It is this property of IP addresses that allows anyone with your IP address to get a rough idea where you are in the world. Moreover, IP addresses from specific subnets like AARNet (for Australian Universities) can be a giveaway for your location.

Try Googling “my ip” or “where am i”. There are many IP to Geolocation API services available. I have made use of https://ipgeolocation.io/, which has a generous free tier 🙏.

User Agent

Every request your browser makes to a server is wrapped up with a nice little UserAgent String bow, that looks a little like this,

User-Agent: Mozilla/<version> (<system-information>) <platform> (<platform-details>) <extensions>

Oh how sweet 😊 it’s our Operating System, our browser and what versions we of each we are running, and if the server is lucky, perhaps a few extra details.

Here are a few examples from MDN:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X x.y; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Why might this be a problem? Allow me to direct you towards my earlier post on Drive-By Attacks. Vulnerabilities are often present in specific versions of specific platforms. If an exploit server detects that your particular version of Chrome for Windows (for example) has a known vulnerability, well then prepare to be infected. 

Navigator

Okay, I think we’ve been polite enough, it’s time to rip this packaging open! Ooh what is this inside? It’s an invitation to our browser of course! 

When we send off a request to a web server complete with our IP and User Agent string, the web server will typically respond by sending us a web page to render. These days a web page can be anything from a single HTML file with a few verses from a dead poet, to a fully fledged JavaScript application. To support this development, browsers are exposing more and more functionality/system information through a special JavaScript interface called Navigator.

From MDN,

The Navigator interface represents the state and the identity of the user agent. It allows scripts to query it and to register themselves to carry on some activities.

...to carry on some activities... I wonder. The list of available properties and methods is pretty comprehensive so I’ll just point out a few interesting ones.

getBattery() (have only seen this on chrome)

connection (some details about your network connection)

hardwareConcurrency (for multithreading)

plugins (another important vector for Drive-Bys)

storage (persisted storage available to websites)

clipboard (requires permissions, goodness plz be careful)

doNotTrack (i wonder who checks this...)

vibrate() (because haptic is the only real feedback)

While I’ve got it in mind, here’s a wonderful browser localStorage vulnerability I stumbled across https://github.com/feross/filldisk.com. There’s a 10MB per site limit, but no browser is enforcing this quota across both a.something.com and b.something.com...

I have no idea why Chrome thinks it’s useful to expose your battery status to every website you visit... Personally, the clipboard API feels the most violating. It requires permissions, but once given you’re never asked again. Control/Command + V right now and see what’s on your clipboard. I doubt there’s many web pages that you’d actually want to be able to read your clipboard every time you visit.

Social Media Side Channel / CSRF

Okay, now we’re getting a little cheeky. It’s actually possible to determine if a browser has an authenticated session with a bunch of social media platforms and services.

It’s a well known vulnerability (have a laughcry at some of the socials responses), which abuses the redirect on login functionality we see on many of these platforms, as well as the Same-Origin Policy SOP being relaxed around HTML tags, as we saw was sometimes exploited by Cross Site Request Forgery attacks.

Consider this lovely image tag.

<img src="https://www.facebook.com/login.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffavicon.ico%3F_rdr%3Dp">

As you can see, the image source (at least originally) doesn’t point to an image at all, but rather the Facebook login page. Thanks to SOP, we wouldn’t and shouldn’t be able to send an AJAX request to this website and see the response. But this HTML image tag is going to fire off a GET request for it’s source no problem. 

Thanks to redirect on login, if a user rocks up to the login page with the correct session cookies then we won’t have them login again, but rather we redirect them to their newsfeed; or, as it turns out, whatever the URL parameter next points to. What if we point it to an actual image, say the website icon, such that the HTML image tag loads if we are redirected, and fails if not.

Simple but effective. You can try it for yourself here, by opening my codepen in your browser when you’re signed in to Facebook, and when you’re signed out (or just use Incognito).

Fingerprint Me v1.0

Okay, time for a demonstration. I took the liberty of writing my own web page that pulls all this data together, and rather than store it for a rainy day (like every other page on the web),  I present it to the user on a little web dashboard. It’s like a mirror for your browser. And who doesn’t like to check themselves out in the mirror from time to time 🙃

Random technical content: I had to fetch the geolocation data server-side to protect my API key from the client, then I sneak it back into the static HTML web page I’m serving to the user by setting it on the window variable in some inline script tags.

I bust out some React experience, and have something looking pretty (pretty scary I hope) in some nondescript amount of time (time knows no sink like frontend webdev). I rub my hands together grinning to myself, and send it off to some friends.

“Very scary”. I can see straight through the thin veil of their encouragement and instead read “Yeaaaah okay”. One of them admits that they actually missed the point when they first looked at it. But.. but... nevermind. It’s clearly not having the intended effect. These guys are pretty Internet savvy, but I feel like this should be disconcerting for even the most well seasoned web user... 

Like that moment you lock eyes with yourself in the mirror after forgetting to shave a few days in a row.

Fingerprint Me v2.0

An inspired moment follows. I trace it back to the week ?7 activity class on privacy:

It is very hard to make a case for privacy. What is the inherent value of privacy? Why shouldn’t the government have our data, we give it to a million services everyday anyway, and receive a wealth of benefits for it. Go on, have it. I wasn’t using it for anything anyway. 

It is very easy to make a case for privacy, if there is any sense that someone malicious is involved. As soon as there is someone who would wish us ill it becomes obvious that there are things that the less they know the better. 

<Enter great The Art of War quote here.>

~ Sun Tzu

Therein lies the solution. I need to make the user feel victimised. And what better to do it than a green on black terminal with someone that calls themselves a hacker rooting your machine.

DO CLICK THIS LINK (it’s very safe, I promise) https://fingerprintme.herokuapp.com

Some more random technical content: Programming this quite synchronous behaviour in the very async-centric JavaScript was quite a pain. It was particularly tricky to get around the fact that React renders it’s component hierarchy top down, so I needed the parent components to mount empty in order for them to be correctly populated with child components later. It was also a pain to access and render child components conditionally, especially if you want to have sets of child components in different files, as though they aren’t ultimately nested in the DOM, React will treat them as if they are.

Some User Reviews:

“It feels like I should shut the window”

“This is SO RUDE”

“Battery level. I mean. Literally. How.”

Excellent.

Here's What I Know About 10.0.0.0.1

The Meaning of 10.0.0.0.1

If you're in addition making use of Kali Linux beef ought to be already installed. If you should be using a Android phone, then you may encounter different forms of ip address such as for example 192.168.1.25. Pick out your connected link.

Employing the grouped datasets we are able to do fundamental statistics on each every group with combination or agg procedures. Applying the arrangement like YYYMMDD' is not a terrific option since these forms of date formats usually don't conserve intervals and effortless arithmetic operations on such day formats do not necessarily yield the desired effects. Yet, both these IP addresses are most usually utilised at the organization networks along with in many domiciles. The remaining part of the addresses are considered to become community.

Vital Pieces of 10.0.0.0.1

Regardless of what type of code, you merely try this, even supposing it is Terraform we are referring to. In general, to debug an matter, rather jumping to the task and state this approach is the reason why behind this matter, 1st try and discover the source of the problem and make an effort to reevaluate why this matter is happening. After this, you'll need to have to find out the system part. You have the capability to get in touch with us if you notice any of the aforementioned troubles.

When it's to perform networking, IP address is easily the most essential point. You may always seek out suggestions from the manual or service provider in the event that you would preferably none of the above-listed ip address addresses. On the flip side, personal consumers do not require public speeches since no body wants other individuals so as to access their devices. The process for assigning IP addresses isn't arbitrary whatsoever.

Our primary goal is going to become to explain all of the fundamental items you must find out about IP addresses and also to supply you a few types of the way touse this address. Today, we're most likely to create new VM examples and connect with the particular network. If you're confronting dilemma if linking Router then these would be the prospective problems. In the event the bond trouble continues, then there might be a issue with your router or another holds true.

Key Pieces of 10.0.0.0.1

What's more, this alternative additionally enables undesirable traffic to cross the whole network, in order to be blocked at the location. Because of this, you can call your supplier for step by step advice and request assistance ahead of earning your trade. On this characteristic, it is possible to assemble a harmless assortment of devices which can be permitted to work with an wi fi link. It's the easiest and the quickest approach to get accessibility to a modem info, inch factor that may appear to be quite difficult due to a number of specifics.

The New Fuss About 10.0.0.0.1

So use just have no some option still left. It's the subsequent version of Firefox. It is rather a sturdy attribute but we will make it empty for the moment.

Usually, you may utilize the factory feature, if you should be around the management page. The code is seen on github to get a gist. The code indicates the preferences for our Gradle plug in You can observe the above mentioned example implements the java-gradle-plugin and we have developed a symbolicPlugin plug-in. So that you don't execute a tough re set before of course when you have no necessity and also make certain to back up your preferences until flashed and after that execute the setup of your device .

10.0.0.0.1 - Overview

If resetting the router doesn't support, there's probably some hardware failure and you will need to buy a fresh router. Whether you're trying to join to a locality community ( home or corporate community ) or into the net, your own device has to get a exceptional ID named ip address handle. Todo so it utilizes the exact internet protocol address and netmask which were described as the interface has been configured to function as array of speeches which are on the very same subnet because it. You also ought to ensure the ip of your computer is given in the identical subnet on your own device.

If you would like to establish a new Router or configure the Network, then you are likely to need a Router ip so that you find it possible to access it again and sign in to your Router to modify preferences. If you're a newcomer to resetting a router, we don't urge doing this also you should speak with your ISP instead. Then your own router will refresh, and you also might receive a login to a router should you obey the aforementioned process step. Establishing a fresh router or even to configure your network demands a router IP Address that ends in log in information from your own router.

We obviously wont be held accountable for practically any damage or loss as a result of this action. React's electricity is at the use of components. If nothing works, reset is the sole solution.

You can also have to setup wireless function. The setup implemented in this circumstance assumes there's a need to connect three sites hosting 3 distinct subnets collectively employing an easy overlay net network. The games console will soon ask you to create a fundamental set. I'm talking that the host that may have a high load.

In the event you wish to secure the router, then you have to modify the default username and password. From time to time, then you might like to modify your password for that you simply need to login to a router. As an alternative to Wi-Fi relationship, you ought to work with a challenging password. You must use a vital password for wi fi connection simpler.

High level users may prepare the online connection. So on after you get the specific configuration options you will be able to alter the default option ip address, password. It really is vital that you be in a position to SSH into your case from the community computer.

To get building a password that is catchy you wish touse upper and little instance letters in the password. You may make use of something for developing a password. The difficult password for Wi-Fi is critical. You could get into your internet interface by simply entering the most suitable password and username.

How to Make React.js Breadcrumbs

Have you ever noticed those little text components on some websites that show your location? These are referred to as breadcrumbs, and they can be a helpful way for visitors to get about, especially when browsing through complicated websites. With this article, you will discover how to create breadcrumbs in React.js.

Why Do Breadcrumbs Matter and What Are They?

Breadcrumbs, which are little text snippets, are frequently used to show a user where they are on a website. They may help users get their bearings, especially while navigating across websites with many pages. By providing a trail of links, breadcrumbs assist users in navigating a website and make it easy for them to go back to previous sections. It's essential must keep in mind that breadcrumbs shouldn't be used as the main means of navigation on a website. They must be combined with other navigational features, such as a menu or search bar.

How to Create Breadcrumbs in React.js

There are two main ways to generate breadcrumbs in React.js: by using either the react-router-dom library or the use-react-router-breadcrumbs package. However, before getting started,

Logics Are Separately Stored

The two primary operations that take place in the background of the beautiful React app interface are data-loading and rendering logic.

Always create separate components for each of these logics if you want to improve your app's performance and loading time. Once you start implementing this method, you'll notice a drop in bounce rate and an increase in user engagement.

The drawing code can be executed in a sub-component, while the data-loading logic can be executed in the main component. Furthermore, the data-loading logic will instantly send the data to the drawing component, accelerating the app's loading process.

Multi-Stage Code Testing with Prop Types Usage

Always perform several code tests in multiple simulated environments when developing a React app. Only then should the project be accelerated to the testing phase following unit testing at the developer level is also necessary. It will help you find and correct all of the potentially harmful bugs and weaknesses before publication.

Additionally, it would be advantageous if you favored utilizing PropTypes, as doing so will make it simpler to examine the data type. The React code can then be used to fix the problems and protect your users from unpleasant surprises.

For any big cyberattacks, activate security measures.

All applications prioritize data security and maintaining data integrity and customer confidentiality is a top priority for every business.

To secure your React software, you can take these steps:

Enable HTTPS for each data transfer between a server and a client.

Use JWT, React Router, AuthO, and Passport JS for user authentication.

Create roles to group individuals and give them just specific access.

Configure input sanitization to defend against XSS and SQL injection attacks.

Because React is a recognized web development technology, many organizations opt to use it while creating their business applications. To build a solid React project, everyone should follow a few best practices.

Establishing a precise app structure, using the DRY coding style, allowing various security systems, using Prop Types, embedding CS in JS, and segregating logic are a few best practices you have to follow. Once you start using these strategies, you'll surely notice faster loading times and a rise in customer satisfaction.

Conclusion:

In summary, React JS is here just in time to help designers and developers swiftly create incredibly engaging online applications and user interfaces. You may separate the components and create a single-page application with minimal coding.

Furthermore, the virtual DOM also incorporates performance, and React JS is regarded as being SEO friendly. Applications on a large scale that use frequently changing data are possible. These important advantages have drawn a lot of attention to React JS.

To Better Understand React Router

As I worked through phase 2 at Flatiron school, studying React, I felt it helped me understand JavaScript better. I made my way through this phase and was able to comprehend more about it than I expected. I was able to complete my final project and do my final review. During this review I found out I knew less about React than I thought, and I am thankful that my reviewer was able to point this out to me. This way I could go back and learn what I need to, to be able to know how React really works. I struggled with describing what React Router is and how it works when I was asked. So I would like to discuss what I have learned and have this blog as a reference to look back on if a reminder is needed.

To start, I now know React Router is a client-side routing library, "...React are libraries with prewritten code snippets that we can use and reuse to build applications." - Khan, Shahzad, et al. So it is this prewritten code that you can use for routing to different components within your application. It is client-side because the client/user handles when and where the routing takes place. React Router actually contains components and hooks that do that job and that is the prewritten code. Both these components and hooks work with the components you have created in your code. How they do this is with conditional rendering components based on the URL. If the current URL matches with what your components path is then it will display it. Also, uses JavaScript for programmatic navigation, programmatic meaning, "of, relating to, resembling, or having a program" - Merriam-Webster. If there is a link clicked to a certain page, it then changes the URL for that page, and updates/displays that page without requesting for a new HTML document. Or, it can also change the URL, and display a new page without the user clicking on a link. As mentioned before, it manages all of these tasks and actions with the prewritten components and hooks. I will now discuss some and how they work.

You first need to have react-router-dom installed in order to use React Router. Then it must be imported like so:

BrowserRouter is a component and is also the base for your whole app's routing. Doing that declares how you will be using React Router. You would want to wrap this around your whole app component, so that it can contain all the other components and hooks. You could also just use Router instead of Browser Router to shorten it up.

Next, you have your Route and Switch component for handling routing to your components. Route is given a path attribute which is given a certain URL, and it says if the current URL matches the path render the child component, your component. You then want to wrap all of your Route components within your Switch component. This is because if not, any of the routes that match the current URL all will render. Switch says to only render the first Route that matches, so yes the order you put them in is important. If it was not used a good example of what could happen is it would always render a home page because its URL usually is similar to the other's. It is recommended to move that Home component to the bottom of the others. The Switch definitely gives more predictable behavior. To keep from also rendering components with URL partial matches you can give your Route component an attribute of exact. This will only render if the URL matches exactly with the path. Some of my code for example:

Using Link and NavLink components are what is going to make these Routes conditionally rendered. These both render a link or <a> to the DOM, when it is clicked, it changes the URL, re-renders Routes, and then displays the component whose path matches that new URL. Link is good for standard hyperlinks, where NavLink is better for a navigational bar. What makes it good for the bar is that you can add styling attributes to it. Like adding an active style to show which link is currently selected.

There is as well two hooks that can be used to get parts of a URL dynamically, the useRouteMatch and useParams hooks. This can be useful for when you have a component that gets rendered multiple time with different dynamic info. Or as well as nested information. For both hooks you want to create a variable; const match = useRouteMatch() and const params = useParams(). useRouteMatch returns an object with info about currently matched route and is good for nested info. useParams returns key/value pairs of the URL's parameters and is good for grabbing one specific component out of many. This is done usually by the components id. In my code below Wod stands for workout of the day. My Wod component gets rendered for each workout that comes from my JSON file. I used params to grab the to match the components path and single out specific workouts. So then it will only display that workout and the info that goes with it.

Finishing it off, we have a hook that can help give your app programmatic navigation. The hook is called useHistory and it can navigate the user to a new page based on any event that gets triggered, not just a click. For example, if the user logs out you can have it redirect them to the log in or home page. There is, as well, a component that is good for conditional rendering. The Redirect component does as it sounds, redirects the user to a new location. You can use this to redirect the user to the home page if a certain component is not found when an event is triggered, and other uses for it as well.

To conclude, having gone back and reading through lessons at Flatiron I know have a better understanding of React Router, and the hooks and components that make it up. I am thankful to my reviewer for assigning me to this, because now I feel more confident in using React. I also now know how to take better notes and plan to really make sure I understand all the material by the time of my next review. I hope this may help others if not just only me! Have fun coding all!

Quick Summary

Acknowledge the challenges that React applications face on the SEO part. To be more precise, you will find a brief on how React is compatible with SEO practices. As a result, you will also know how Google crawls to these types of ReactJs websites. Generally, a page undergoes several processes before indexing. It’s all good unless Googlebot faces problems crawling the content. Eventually, when Googlebot fails, the site suffers.

Introduction

When we talk about Search Engine Optimization, React websites face huge challenges. One major reason is that most React JS developers and development companies focus more on the client-side rendering, whereas Google focuses on server-side rendering. This creates tremendous challenges for ReactJS & SEO both.

On this note, we are going to talk about the basics of React SEO. This guide lists the challenges that restrict React from being SEO-friendly. Alongside, we will even see the best practices that enable your application to rank better and higher in Google search results.

How SEO Works?

Of all online searches, Google receives around 90% of it when it comes to SEO. Before delving into how SEO works, let’s look into the crawling and indexing process of Google.

Points to Remember:

Googlebot keeps up with a crawl queue having all the URLs it requires to crawl and index henceforth.

When the crawler stays unoccupied, it picks up the upcoming URL in the queue, requests, and collects the HTML.

Subsequently, Googlebot decides it is required to collect and execute JavaScript after parsing HTML. In case it does, the URL gets added to a render queue.

In the latter point, the renderer collects and executes JavaScript to render the page, thereby sending the rendered HTML back in its position.

The processing unit takes out all the URL tags mentioned on the web page and adds them to the crawl queue back.

The content gets added to Google’s Index.

Did you notice the clear difference between the Rendering stage executing JavaScript and the Processing stage parsing HTML? Well, this differentiation takes place based on cost. Executing JavaScript is costly as it needs to have a look at 130 trillion Webpages.

General SEO Challenges

Below are a few SEO Challenges that software engineers and developers can address and fix.

1. Empty First pass content

It is known that React applications depend on JavaScript. As a result, they struggle with Search engines. This happens due to the app shell model employed by React. Initially, HTML does not include any meaningful content, which is why a bot or a user needs to execute JavaScript to view the page’s actual content. This approach denotes that Googlebot traces a void page during the initial pass. Thus, the content is viewed by Google only while the page gets rendered. Eventually, this leads to a delay in indexing within thousands of pages.

2. Page Metadata

Meta tags are brilliant because they enable social media websites and Google to display valid thumbnails, titles, and descriptions for a particular page. But, these websites depend on the tag of the collected webpage to obtain this information. This site does not perform JavaScript for the landing page. React renders every content, even the Meta tags. As the app shell remains the same for the app/website, it becomes difficult for individual pages to adapt the metadata.

3. Sitemap

A sitemap is a file where all details about your site’s videos, pages, and other forks are provided, along with the relationship between them. Being an intelligent search engine, Google reads this file to crawl into your site easily. React does not possess any inbuilt method to create sitemaps. If you use React Router to manage to route, you need to find tools to create a sitemap. Although, this might require some of your efforts.

4. User Experience and Loading Time

No matter what the task is, Fetching, executing, and parsing JavaScript takes immense time. Furthermore, JavaScript may even require making network calls to collect the content while the user must wait for a while to view the requested details. In terms of ranking criteria, Google has flourished a set of web vitals regarding user experience. Extended loading times affect the user experience score, thus informing Google to rank the site lower.

5. Other SEO Considerations

Below is a few considerations that are linked to setting up excellent SEO practices.

Use a CDN to serve each static asset such as JS, CSS, Fonts, etc., and use responsive images to lower the loading times.

Improving the robots.txt file can assist search bots in analyzing how to crawl on your website.

If you want to improve your React application performance, then React.memo is a great solution to achieve the same!

IONIC 5- UPDATES

The Ionic Framework team has launched model 5.0.0( Magnesium ) on 11th Feb 2020. This new version centered considerably on material layout recommendations which advanced the UI consists of iOS 13 & Android design, compatibility with multiple frameworks (not best with Angular however now it supports react framework), ionic 5 capabilities consist of remodeled Ionicons, up to date Ionic colorings, new API for growing your very own custom animations, new starter designs, improvements to issue customization, up to date documentation and other enhancements that we can analyze in this article.

How to Update Ionic 4 App to Latest Ionic 5 Version?

For an Angular app

npm install @ionic/angular@latest --save

For a React app

npm install @ionic/react@latest --save npm install @ionic/react-router@latest --save npm install ionicons@latest --save

Top capabilities added in Ionic 5:

iOS Design

The latest version of the Ionic framework has a large section of the updated UI component compatible with IOS 13.Apple recently released its iOS 13 update, in which they up to date the design of many components and accordingly included a few updates to our own, these consist of headers, segments, huge and small titles, and the menu overlay type.

Segment

The ionic crew has absolutely remodeled the iOS Segment layout extensively from its preceding iOS model. With the ionic five design replace, a single indicator is now used to slide between the buttons, checking the only it ends on. Now it makes use of a gesture that may be used to pull the indicator that applies for both Material Design and iOS and some adjustments had been added to support the brand new design.

Header

The header is a root issue of the page that holds the toolbar aspect. Some properties to get a collapsible header and buttons are now available to use.In ionic v4 iOS added the idea of a collapsible header and special sized titles. In Ionic version 5, a few residences are added to the header & name additives to get small titles, shrinking broad claims, and collapsible buttons.

Large Title

The way to do so is to add two headers, one standard-sized above the content and one large-sized inside the content. Other elements, like the search bar in the large header, can also collapse.Ionic v 4 provides a manner to create the collapsible titles that exist on inventory iOS apps. The huge title in iOS collapses right into a default sized title when the content scrolls exceeding a certain point & this setup calls for configuring your IonTitle, IonHeader, and IonButtons elements.

Small Title

The small refers as a header note often used in combination with Swipe to Close Modals. It normally used internal of a toolbar above some other toolbar that contains a standard-sized identify (Additionally, to get the small title styling, ion-name ought to have size="Small".

Swipe to Close Modal

You can now add a modal that remains inset with the page behind it propelled back. A gesture could be used to control swipe to close modal.The Swipe to Close Modals in iOS mode has the capacity to be offered in a card-style and swiped to close mode rather than displaying a modal that covers the whole screen. The card-fashion presentation and swipe to shut gesture want to permit I.e. swipeToClose and imparting element need to be surpassed upon modal creation. Ionic five has includes a gesture to drag the modal down to shut it.

Refresher

The ion-refresher produces pull-to-refresh capability on a content issue & it's pulling icon in iOS has been updated above a header with a huge name. The pull-to-refresh pattern shall we a user pull down on a listing of records the usage of contact to retrieve greater statistics & as you pull down on the content the spinner rotates till the content material is pulled down enough to in which all ticks are seen after which it will start to rotate. IOS refresher in ionic v5 has absolutely redesigned to Material Design refresher.

List Header

ListHeader a header element for a listing and the lists in iOS now grow to be greater massive and bold layout. Comparing ionic v4, the List Header turned into uppercase and small and didn’t have the option for a bottom border. The new lines assets on a List Header permits you to add a border while matching the contemporary design.The Ionic framework official website suggests wrapping all text content of the list header inside an <ion-label>. It is required to support the changes in the List header.

Ionic Animations

Ionic Animations is an open-supply animations software that offers developers the equipment to construct surprisingly performant animations no matter the framework they're using. Ionic Animations is now officially a part of the ionic five.zero launch which makes use of the Web Animations API to build and run all your animations. Web browser time table to run all your animations which offloads essential duties and prioritize optimizations to your animations permitting your animation to run easily as viable which enables you achieve excessive FPS which preserving low CPU makes use of.Ionic 5 ships with the trendy version open-supply icon library Ionicons five, which includes all-new icons for use in web, iOS, Android, and computing device apps.

Ionic Colors

Ionic has nine default colors that may be used to exchange the color of many additives & on the way to alternate the default colorations we have to exchange the coloration characteristic. Ionic 5 up to date with all new colors by using default also to exchange the colours of your Angular or React app builders want to update the subject/variables css manually. Now ionic 5 supports the dark.  

Easier Customization

We all know that the additives are not very easy to customize due to following reasonsLack of to be had CSS Variables or way to style internal factors.

Components are being scoped and their Ionic styles taking precedence over custom styles.To make it simpler for builders, ionic team brought assist for extra CSS variables,

transformed some scoped components to Shadow DOM, and commenced adding aid for Shadow Parts.

The following additives were converted to Shadow DOM:

Back Button

Card

Segment

Split Pane

Shadow DOM

An critical element of web components is encapsulation and shadow DOM serves for encapsulation. It lets in a aspect to have its very very own “shadow” DOM tree, that it is markup structure, fashion, and conduct hidden and separate from different code on the web page that can’t be by accident accessed from the primary document and the code may be kept satisfactory and clean.

In addition to that, Shadow DOM permits the use of custom CSS variables inside the issue for less difficult theming. In previous versions, Sass variables have been used to customise and subject an app but that brought on longer construct times but to have more than one themes within the identical app it required developing multiple CSS documents with different Sass variables.

With the growing assist for Shadow Parts in browsers, users could be capable of goal particular elements inside of our components to override their styles directly.

Angular Ivy

One of the biggest improvements to the brand new Angular v9.0 is that Ivy is enabled with the aid of default & for Ionic Angular builders, Ivy support is now completely enabled in Ionic 5. Ivy permits apps to only maintain pieces of the renderer that they require, rather than the whole thing. This approach that our final output may be distinctly smaller, which is better for load performance. The manner the CSS variables are used for targeting the activated, targeted and hover backgrounds have been updated at the following components:

Action Sheet

Back Button

Button

FAB Button

Item

Menu Button

Segment Button

Tab Button

Anchor : The ion-anchor thing has been renamed to ion-router-link Back Button : Converted ion-returned-button to use shadow DOM. Card :  Converted ion-card to apply shadow DOM. Header / Footer : The no-border attribute has been renamed to ion-no-border Menu : Removed the main characteristic, use content material-id (for vanilla JS / Vue) and contentId (for Angular / React) instead. Use swipeGesture() in preference to swipeEnable() function Colors : The default Ionic shades have been updated to the following: primary:

#3880ff

secondary:

#3dc2ff

tertiary:

#5260ff

success:

#2dd36f

warning:

#ffc409

danger:

#eb445a

light:

#f4f5f8

medium:

#92949c

dark: #222428 Ionic five features bring a few solid modifications which includes iOS 13 layout updates, a new API for creating custom animations, made over Ionicons, updated Ionic colours, complete assist for Ivy, Angular’s new renderer, new starter designs, Ionic CLI 5 and the assist for React frameworks at the side of the Angular.

Hopefully, Ionic v5 will take the Ionic app improvement to every other degree and will help to develop the cross-platform app that may run on the computer, as PWAs, web, and cell platforms.

We wish these modifications will enhance your build time and productivity on the ionic platform.

The good thing is you don’t need to worry lots about dealing with the updates as the process is simple.
