LDAP testing & defense

LDAP Injection is an attack used to exploit web based applications that construct LDAP statements based on user input. When an application fails to properly sanitize user input, it's possible to modify LDAP statements through techniques similar to SQL Injection. 

LDAP injection attacks are common due to two factors:

The lack of safer, parameterized LDAP query interfaces

The widespread use of LDAP to authenticate users to systems.

How to test for the issue

During code review

Please check for any queries to the LDAP escape special characters, see here.

Automated Exploitation

Scanner module of tool like OWASP ZAP have module to detect LDAP injection issue.

Remediation

Escape all variables using the right LDAP encoding function

The main way LDAP stores names is based on DN (distinguished name). You can think of this like a unique identifier. These are sometimes used to access resources, like a username.

A DN might look like this

cn=Richard Feynman, ou=Physics Department, dc=Caltech, dc=edu

or

uid=inewton, ou=Mathematics Department, dc=Cambridge, dc=com

There are certain characters that are considered special characters in a DN. The exhaustive list is the following: \ # + < > , ; " = and leading or trailing spaces

Each DN points to exactly 1 entry, which can be thought of sort of like a row in a RDBMS. For each entry, there will be 1 or more attributes which are analogous to RDBMS columns. If you are interested in searching through LDAP for users will certain attributes, you may do so with search filters. In a search filter, you can use standard boolean logic to get a list of users matching an arbitrary constraint. Search filters are written in Polish notation AKA prefix notation.

Example:

(&(ou=Physics)(| (manager=cn=Freeman Dyson,ou=Physics,dc=Caltech,dc=edu) (manager=cn=Albert Einstein,ou=Physics,dc=Princeton,dc=edu) ))

When building LDAP queries in application code, you MUST escape any untrusted data that is added to any LDAP query. There are two forms of LDAP escaping. Encoding for LDAP Search and Encoding for LDAP DN (distinguished name). The proper escaping depends on whether you are sanitising input for a search filter, or you are using a DN as a username-like credential for accessing some resource.

Safe Java for LDAP escaping Example:

public String escapeDN (String name) {

//From RFC 2253 and the / character for JNDI

final char[] META_CHARS = {'+', '"', '<', '>', ';', '/'};

String escapedStr = new String(name);

//Backslash is both a Java and an LDAP escape character,

//so escape it first escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\\\\\\\\","\\\\\\\\");

//Positional characters - see RFC 2253

escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\^#","\\\\\\\\#");

escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\^ | $","\\\\\\\\ ");

for (int i=0 ; i < META_CHARS.length ; i++) {

escapedStr = escapedStr.replaceAll("\\\\" + META_CHARS[i],"\\\\\\\\" + META_CHARS[i]);

}

return escapedStr;

}

From Novice to Java Pro: A Step-by-Step Learning Journey

Java programming, renowned for its platform independence and versatility, is a sought-after language in the world of software development. It's the language behind countless web applications, mobile apps, game development, and more. This blog serves as your comprehensive guide to embarking on a journey to learn and master Java programming. We'll walk you through the basics of programming, Java's syntax and structure, the essential tools and libraries, and the importance of practice. 

The Path to Java Proficiency:

1. Understand the Basics of Programming:

Prior Experience: If you're new to programming, it's crucial to start with the foundational concepts. Variables, data types, control structures (if-else, loops), and functions are universal principles that you need to understand before delving into any programming language, including Java.

What to Learn: Begin by grasping the basics of programming logic and problem-solving. Familiarize yourself with concepts like variables (to store data), data types (to specify the kind of data), and control structures (to make decisions and loop through actions). These concepts serve as the building blocks for Java programming.

2. Java Syntax and Structure:

Prior Experience: As you delve into Java, you'll find that it's an object-oriented language with its unique syntax and structure. While prior programming experience is beneficial, it's not a prerequisite. You can start with Java as your first language.

What to Learn: Java introduces you to classes and objects. Classes are blueprints for creating objects, which are instances of classes. Java is known for its object-oriented nature, where you'll encounter concepts like inheritance (creating new classes based on existing ones), polymorphism (objects of different classes can be treated as objects of the same class), encapsulation (data hiding), and abstraction (simplifying complex reality by modeling classes based on real-world objects).

3. Get Your Hands on a Compiler and IDE:

Adult/working side of tumblr, Data entry/computer science type question here

I've recently gotten a job where I'm meant to be inputting a bunch of items into a spreadsheet - basically making a masterlist of machines, their location, last service date, various notes, and a link to their manuals.

This was previously held in a word document, I've been given basically no stipulations on how it should be held together other than it needs to be easy to navigate for people who have like, no computer knowledge.

Currently I'm using an excel sheet, however this is getting increasingly difficult for me to work with, as I'm not super familiar with excel, it's navigation, and how to automate things.

Due to the nature of this, it feels like a database would be better equip to handle this, but I also do not know how to code a database, and especially not one that would be easy for someone to use who doesn't how to use computers well.

Basically, my question is, are there any, preferably free open source, softwares and/or libraries/frameworks that people know of that are useful for a beginner java coder to make a database that would be flexible (can add more items/colums/categories if needed) for this type of thing?

tl;dr - I'm looking for an alternative to excel for data entry, needs a non-tecchy-friendly user-end. I have beginner java experience, very limited css and html experience, no database experience.

Busy week

I had a week full of software development. I slacked off on a bunch of other activities, such as physical exercise ... and blogging. So now I'm overdue for progress report...

Recall that last Saturday I completed Chapter 28 of the Java Vulkan tutorial and blogged about it, reporting just 2 chapters to go.

Chapter 29 was on multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA). I got that working on Sunday without much difficulty (8df30b5). However, it's a subtle effect (unless you have humongous pixels), so it didn't justify posting yet another screenshot of the Viking room.

Chapter 30 of the tutorial is the bonus chapter on compute shaders. That's a neat trick, but not relevant to my immediate plans, which involve turning the V-Sport project into a graphics engine.

I realized that the tutorial code makes simplifying assumptions that are inappropriate for a graphics engine: a single 3-D geometry with pre-baked lighting, mesh must be composed of triangles, a stationary viewpoint, no user input, and so on.

With this in mind, I abandoned the tutorial and undertook a massive restructuring of the code, to allow scenes containing multiple geometries (or no geometries at all). Along the way, I:

implemented a texture cache, to save memory and CPU cycles in case an application requests the same texture many times (2eaf093),

changed the naming scheme for shaders to match my OpenGL graphics engine,

made a plan for multiple shaders. In every V-Sport shader, vertex buffers will be laid out in the same order, the same uniforms will be defined, and any given uniform will have the same buffer offset everywhere. These restrictions simplify the implementation, while leaving possibilities to optimize later if they prove inefficient.

considered the possibility that a window might migrate from one GPU to another. If this ever happens, all application-visible "device resources" (textures, shader programs, and vertex buffers) can be silently updated, recreating their underlying Vulkan resources (images, shader modules, and mappable buffers) from scratch. I haven't seen this scenario in practice, but the time I spent thinking about it led me to a cleaner design.

split the uniforms into 2 buffers, one for global uniforms (such as camera orientation) that are the same for every 3-D geometry, and another for per-geometry uniforms (such as model orientation). Seems logical, ought to be more efficient, but wow was it tough to get right!

deferred loading of shader modules until they are actually needed for rendering (9397178),

altered when command buffers get recorded. In the tutorial, each command buffer gets recorded exactly once, during initialization. In my engine, a command buffer gets re-recorded for every frame. Dynamic command recording allows the set of geometries being rendered (and all their properties) to vary from frame to frame.

All this work cleared a path for rendering multiple objects (3035e15) earlier this evening. Tomorrow I'll play around and (hopefully) post a screenshot that's both interesting and relevant.

And the thing is that AI has always both (a) been crap in practice and (b) been confidently expected by computer science academics to be something they were going to perfect any day now. Like, back in the 1970s, before GUIs were a thing, academic CS types were already recommending that students devote their time to AI instead of user interface design or improving algorithms, and they’ve been doing it ever since, and that has had consequences for what has been studied, the and what “qualified” computer science types know when they graduate. I remember reading an interview from the 2000s from a professor at Northwestern University (a hotbed of pro-AI academics) admitting that if they had focussed on UI design instead of AI, they would have made the world a better place for everyone. But no, they go on and on with AI research — which never involves interdisciplinary study with biologists or neurologists to learn how the human mind works, incidentally; we have exactly one naturally occurring form of sentience to learn from, and artificial intelligence workers trying to build a second one never try to model their work on current understanding of brains, because that would be hard. We have “neural nets”, which are very loosely inspired by real brains, but nothing deeper — and techbros who want to “upload their consciousness to the cloud” are certainly not bothered by all the ways the human brain interacts with the body and its surroundings. Here’s a story published in 2006 which, now that I think of it, foreshadows modern “AI” (and I put that in quotation marks on purpose — what the public and the press refer to as AI does not actually meet the traditional qualifications) almost spookily, although I admit that even the neural net expert involved was adamant that neural nets were the wrong tool for the specific job.

And these academic choices do have consequences! Just for an example: CS types are encouraged to like functional programming languages like Lisp and Scheme and consider them elegant and superior (as opposed to procedural programming languages like… well, nearly every one you’ve likely ever to have heard of if you’re not a CS major: C, C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Perl, Ruby, Python, Rust… all procedural) in part because AI researchers love functional programming languages and want to use them (although they usually cannot actually get away with it). But in the real world, functional programming languages suck. Every attempt to produce a modern — as in “more recent than about 1985” — program for widespread practical use using functional programming has ended up being, at best, full of chunks of procedural programming to make the code efficient enough to actually be used, and usually the performance of functional programming is so bad that it has to be scrapped entirely. (And this very explicitly applies to handling large data sets, which is what AI researchers are trying to do!) When a CS academic uses the word “elegance” they mean “unbelievable inefficiency and bloat”. There’s a reason why even the crappy, overblown autocomplete AI systems we have, like ChatGPT, keep being revealed to be so wasteful of energy and physical resources. (And that, remember, is the best AI researchers can do. Maybe if the focus had been on efficiency rather than “elegance” things would be different.) But the academic bias persists — it even has shown up in XKCD, which (like his preference for input sanitizing rather than parameterization) suggests that the Munroe doesn’t actually do much practical work with computers.

The Amazon grocery stores which touted an AI system that tracked what you put in your cart so you didn't have to go through checkout were actually powered by underpaid workers in India.

Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped. According to The Information, 700 out of 1,000 Just Walk Out sales required human reviewers as of 2022. This widely missed Amazon’s internal goals of reaching less than 50 reviews per 1,000 sales

A great many AI products are just schemes to shift labor costs to more exploitable workers. There may indeed be a neural net involved in the data processing pipeline, but most products need a vast and underpaid labor force to handle its nearly innumerable errors.

To start programming in C, you need to set up a development environment. Here’s how:

Choose a Compiler: Popular C compilers include GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) for Linux and MinGW for Windows. You can also use IDEs like Code::Blocks, Dev-C++, or Visual Studio.

Install the Compiler: Follow the installation instructions for your chosen compiler. Ensure that the compiler is added to your system’s PATH for easy access.

Choose a Text Editor or IDE: You can write C code in any text editor (like Notepad++ or Sublime Text) or use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for a more user-friendly experience.

2. Writing Your First C Program

Let’s start with a simple "Hello, World!" program to familiarize you with the syntax:#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; }

Explanation:

#include <stdio.h>: This line includes the standard input-output library, allowing you to use functions like printf.

int main(): This is the main function where the program execution begins.

printf("Hello, World!\n");: This line prints "Hello, World!" to the console.

return 0;: This indicates that the program has executed successfully.

3. Understanding C Syntax and Structure

C has a specific syntax that you need to understand:

Variables and Data Types: C supports various data types, including int, float, char, and double. You must declare variables before using them.

int age = 25; float salary = 50000.50; char grade = 'A';

Operators: C provides arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise operators for performing operations on variables.

Control Structures: Learn about conditional statements (if, else, switch) and loops (for, while, do-while) to control the flow of your program.

4. Functions in C

Functions are essential for organizing code and promoting reusability. Here’s how to define and call a function:#include <stdio.h> void greet() { printf("Welcome to C Programming!\n"); } int main() { greet(); // Calling the function return 0; }

5. Arrays and Strings

Arrays are used to store multiple values of the same type, while strings are arrays of characters. Here’s an example:#include <stdio.h> int main() { int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; char name[20] = "John Doe"; printf("First number: %d\n", numbers[0]); printf("Name: %s\n", name); return 0; }

6. Pointers

Pointers are a powerful feature in C that allows you to directly manipulate memory. Understanding pointers is crucial for dynamic memory allocation and data structures.#include <stdio.h> int main() { int num = 10; int *ptr = &num; // Pointer to num printf("Value of num: %d\n", *ptr); // Dereferencing the pointer return 0; }

7. Structures and Unions

Structures allow you to group different data types under a single name, while unions enable you to store different data types in the same memory location.#include <stdio.h> struct Student { char name[50]; int age; }; int main() { struct Student student1 = {"Alice", 20}; printf("Student Name: %s, Age: %d\n", student1.name, student1.age); return 0; }

Best Practices for C Programming

Comment Your Code: Use comments to explain complex logic and improve code readability.

Use Meaningful Variable Names: Choose descriptive names for variables and functions to make your code self-explanatory.

Keep Code Organized: Structure your code into functions and modules to enhance maintainability.

Test Your Code: Regularly test your code to catch errors early and ensure it behaves as expected.

What is Codeless Automation and How its work?

As software development cycles grow faster and more continuous, testing needs to move at the same velocity. Traditional automation—powerful though it is—can become a bottleneck when only a small group of engineers can write and maintain test scripts. Enter codeless test automation, a modern answer to the challenge of scaling quality across teams without requiring everyone to write code.

But codeless is more than just a buzzword—done right, it’s a collaborative, intelligent, and scalable testing methodology that’s redefining how organizations approach QA.

What Is Codeless Test Automation?

Codeless test automation refers to the use of platforms and tools that allow testers to create, execute, and maintain automated tests without writing traditional programming code. Instead of scripting in languages like Java or Python, testers interact with:

Drag-and-drop interfaces

Pre-built test blocks or visual workflows

Natural language inputs or behavior-driven design formats (like Gherkin)

These tools abstract the code behind the scenes, allowing both technical and non-technical team members to contribute to the automation process.

Low-Code vs. No-Code vs. Codeless Automation: Understanding the Differences

Although often used interchangeably, these terms are not the same:

Low-Code Automation provides a blend—it offers visual interfaces but also allows code injections for complex conditions. Perfect for semi-technical testers who want both control and ease.

No-Code Automation eliminates code entirely. It's built for business users and testers with no programming background. Simplicity is the goal—but often at the cost of flexibility.

Codeless Automation, as a broader term, may incorporate both low-code and no-code options. It focuses on abstracting complexity while still offering enough control for power users when needed.

How Does Codeless Testing Work?

Let’s walk through how a modern codeless automation platform functions:

1. Test Creation

You begin by interacting with the application under test (AUT)—clicking, typing, or performing other actions. The tool records these actions and translates them into a structured test case. Some platforms also allow building tests visually—connecting steps like flowchart blocks or writing plain English test scenarios.

2. Object Recognition

Modern tools use AI-powered selectors or smart locators that adapt when UI elements change. This is crucial because flaky tests are often caused by fragile selectors.

3. Test Data Integration

Need to run the same test for different user types or datasets? Codeless tools can link to spreadsheets, databases, or data generators—without scripting loops or variables.

4. Execution & Scheduling

Tests can be executed locally, on the cloud, or across real devices and browsers. You can schedule them daily or hook them into CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.

5. Reporting & Analysis

Post-execution, you get visual dashboards, logs, screenshots, and detailed analytics. Some tools even auto-file bugs in Jira when a test fails.

Which Tests Are Best Suited for Codeless Automation?

Not every test type fits codeless automation. It shines in areas like:

• UI Regression Tests

When your product UI evolves frequently, regression test coverage can grow exponentially. Codeless tools make it easier to keep up without burning out your dev team.

• Smoke Tests

Want to validate login, dashboard loading, or payment gateway availability with every build? Codeless tools help you get quick feedback without writing dozens of scripts.

• End-to-End User Journeys

For tests that simulate real-world user paths—like signing up, purchasing a product, and logging out—codeless testing maps these flows efficiently and understandably.

• Cross-Browser / Device Testing

Codeless platforms often integrate with device farms (like BrowserStack or Sauce Labs), letting you run the same test across multiple environments without duplication.

When Not to Use Codeless Automation

Despite its power, codeless isn’t a silver bullet.

Highly complex workflows involving encrypted data, chained APIs, or backend validations still need traditional scripting.

Performance testing, load testing, and deep service-layer tests are beyond the reach of most codeless tools.

If your team needs 100% control over logic, libraries, and exceptions, coded automation is still king.

Final Thoughts

Codeless automation is about making test automation accessible, collaborative, and scalable. It’s not about replacing developers—it's about enabling QA teams to move faster and contribute earlier.

When adopted strategically, codeless testing can reduce time-to-market, increase test coverage, and empower entire teams to contribute to quality.

Want to Get Started With Codeless Automation?

"Mastering string compareTo: How Strings Really Stack Up in Java"

Comparing two strings might sound like a basic task, but when it comes to programming—especially in Java—there’s more happening under the hood. Whether you’re sorting a list of names, validating user input, or organizing data alphabetically, the method string compareTo is your trusty sidekick.

In this blog, we’ll unpack how the compareTo method works, what it really compares, and when to use it in real-world scenarios. No code required—just a clear and practical understanding of one of Java’s most essential string tools.

What Is string compareTo All About?

At its core, string compareTo is a method used to compare two strings lexicographically—that means it checks how they stack up in dictionary order. This method belongs to the String class in Java and returns an integer that tells you the result of the comparison.

But here’s where it gets interesting: it doesn’t just say "equal" or "not equal." Instead, it tells you how two strings differ in order, giving you valuable information you can use in sorting, decision-making, and data processing.

Breaking Down the CompareTo Results

When you compare two strings using string compareTo, Java returns one of three possible outcomes:

Zero (0): The strings are exactly the same.

A positive number: The first string is lexicographically greater than the second.

A negative number: The first string is lexicographically less than the second.

So when you see a result like -3 or 4, it’s not about the actual number—it’s about the sign (negative, zero, or positive) that matters most.

Lexicographical Comparison: What Does That Really Mean?

"Lexicographical" might sound fancy, but it’s basically how words are ordered in the dictionary. Java compares strings character by character, based on their Unicode values.

Let’s imagine comparing “Apple” to “Banana”:

“A” comes before “B” in the alphabet.

Therefore, "Apple".compareTo("Banana") will return a negative number.

This rule applies even if the strings are almost identical. For example:

"Code" vs "Coder" → The shorter one comes first if all earlier characters match.

It’s like comparing two paths in a forest: you walk together until one path splits off—whichever turns first determines which one is “greater” or “less.”

When and Why You’d Use string compareTo

You might be wondering: where does this comparison method actually come in handy? Here are a few common use cases:

1. Sorting Strings

Whether you’re building a contact list or sorting categories alphabetically, string compareTo helps establish the order. Most sorting algorithms under the hood rely on such comparisons to figure out which string should come first.

2. Validating Input

Need to check if a user typed the exact phrase you're expecting? Using string compareTo is one way to verify input matches your criteria without relying on basic equality checks alone.

3. Creating Custom Sorting Logic

In more advanced scenarios, you might sort strings based on specific business rules. For example, ignoring case or placing certain words before others. While compareTo gives you a default behavior, it can be extended with custom logic when needed.

Things to Keep in Mind

As helpful as string compareTo is, here are a few nuances to remember:

Case Sensitivity Matters: "apple" and "Apple" will not be considered equal. The method is case-sensitive by default.

Null Safety: Avoid comparing strings that might be null, as calling compareTo on a null reference will throw an exception.

Consistency Counts: Always use a consistent comparison strategy, especially when dealing with sorted data structures or search functions.

If you need to compare strings without case sensitivity, many developers opt to convert both strings to lowercase or uppercase before comparing them.

Alternatives and Enhancements

Sometimes, the basic string compareTo isn’t quite enough. For example, if you want to:

Ignore case: Use a method designed for case-insensitive comparison.

Handle locales and special characters: Use a more advanced comparison mechanism like Collator for culturally aware sorting.

But in most situations, string compareTo provides exactly what you need in a lightweight and reliable way.

Final Thoughts: Comparing the Right Way

String comparison may seem simple on the surface, but understanding how methods like string compareTo work gives you greater control over how your application behaves. It's one of those hidden gems in programming—subtle, powerful, and essential in the right hands.

Next time you find yourself sorting, filtering, or validating text in your Java programs, remember this: knowing how strings stack up can make all the difference.

With a solid grasp of string compareTo, you’re well on your way to writing cleaner, smarter, and more predictable code.
