SysNotes devlog 1

Hiya! We're a web developer by trade and we wanted to build ourselves a web-app to manage our system and to get to know each other better. We thought it would be fun to make a sort of a devlog on this blog to show off the development! The working title of this project is SysNotes (but better ideas are welcome!)

What SysNotes is✅:

A place to store profiles of all of our parts

A tool to figure out who is in front

A way to explore our inner world

A private chat similar to PluralKit

A way to combine info about our system with info about our OCs etc as an all-encompassing "brain-world" management system

A personal and tailor-made tool made for our needs

What SysNotes is not❌:

A fronting tracker (we see no need for it in our system)

A social media where users can interact (but we're open to make it so if people are interested)

A public platform that can be used by others (we don't have much experience actually hosting web-apps, but will consider it if there is enough interest!)

An offline app

So if this sounds interesting to you, you can find the first devlog below the cut (it's a long one!):

(I have used word highlighting and emojis as it helps me read large chunks of text, I hope it's alright with y'all!)

Tech stack & setup (feel free to skip if you don't care!)

The project is set up using:

Database: MySQL 8.4.3

Language: PHP 8.3

Framework: Laravel 10 with Breeze (authentication and user accounts) and Livewire 3 (front end integration)

Styling: Tailwind v4

I tried to set up Laragon to easily run the backend, but I ran into issues so I'm just running "php artisan serve" for now and using Laragon to run the DB. Also I'm compiling styles in real time with "npm run dev". Speaking of the DB, I just migrated the default auth tables for now. I will be making app-related DB tables in the next devlog. The awesome thing about Laravel is its Breeze starter kit, which gives you fully functioning authentication and basic account management out of the box, as well as optional Livewire to integrate server-side processing into HTML in the sexiest way. This means that I could get all the boring stuff out of the way with one terminal command. Win!

Styling and layout (for the UI nerds - you can skip this too!)

I changed the default accent color from purple to orange (personal preference) and used an emoji as a placeholder for the logo. I actually kinda like the emoji AS a logo so I might keep it.

Laravel Breeze came with a basic dashboard page, which I expanded with a few containers for the different sections of the page. I made use of the components that come with Breeze to reuse code for buttons etc throughout the code, and made new components as the need arose. Man, I love clean code 😌

I liked the dotted default Laravel page background, so I added it to the dashboard to create the look of a bullet journal. I like the journal-type visuals for this project as it goes with the theme of a notebook/file. I found the code for it here.

I also added some placeholder menu items for the pages that I would like to have in the app - Profile, (Inner) World, Front Decider, and Chat.

i ran into an issue dynamically building Tailwind classes such as class="bg-{{$activeStatus['color']}}-400" - turns out dynamically-created classes aren't supported, even if they're constructed in the component rather than the blade file. You learn something new every day huh…

Also, coming from Tailwind v3, "ps-*" and "pe-*" were confusing to get used to since my muscle memory is "pl-*" and "pr-*" 😂

Feature 1: Profiles page - proof of concept

This is a page where each alter's profiles will be displayed. You can switch between the profiles by clicking on each person's name. The current profile is highlighted in the list using a pale orange colour.

The logic for the profiles functionality uses a Livewire component called Profiles, which loads profile data and passes it into the blade view to be displayed. It also handles logic such as switching between the profiles and formatting data. Currently, the data is hardcoded into the component using an associative array, but I will be converting it to use the database in the next devlog.

New profile (TBC)

You will be able to create new profiles on the same page (this is yet to be implemented). My vision is that the New Alter form will unfold under the button, and fold back up again once the form has been submitted.

Alter name, pronouns, status

The most interesting component here is the status, which is currently set to a hardcoded list of "active", "dormant", and "unknown". However, I envision this to be a customisable list where I can add new statuses to the list from a settings menu (yet to be implemented).

Alter image

I wanted the folder that contained alter images and other assets to be outside of my Laravel project, in the Pictures folder of my operating system. I wanted to do this so that I can back up the assets folder whenever I back up my Pictures folder lol (not for adding/deleting the files - this all happens through the app to maintain data integrity!). However, I learned that Laravel does not support that and it will not be able to see my files because they are external. I found a workaround by using symbolic links (symlinks) 🔗. Basically, they allow to have one folder of identical contents in more than one place. I ran "mklink /D [external path] [internal path]" to create the symlink between my Pictures folder and Laravel's internal assets folder, so that any files that I add to my Pictures folder automatically copy over to Laravel's folder. I changed a couple lines in filesystems.php to point to the symlinked folder:

And I was also getting a "404 file not found" error - I think the issue was because the port wasn't originally specified. I changed the base app URL to the localhost IP address in .env:

…And after all this messing around, it works!

(My Pictures folder)

(My Laravel storage)

(And here is Alice's photo displayed - dw I DO know Ibuki's actual name)

Alter description and history

The description and history fields support HTML, so I can format these fields however I like, and add custom features like tables and bullet point lists.

This is done by using blade's HTML preservation tags "{!! !!}" as opposed to the plain text tags "{{ }}".

(Here I define Alice's description contents)

(And here I insert them into the template)

Traits, likes, dislikes, front triggers

These are saved as separate lists and rendered as fun badges. These will be used in the Front Decider (anyone has a better name for it?? 🤔) tool to help me identify which alter "I" am as it's a big struggle for us. Front Decider will work similar to FlowCharty.

What next?

There's lots more things I want to do with SysNotes! But I will take it one step at a time - here is the plan for the next devlog:

Setting up database tables for the profile data

Adding the "New Profile" form so I can create alters from within the app

Adding ability to edit each field on the profile

I tried my best to explain my work process in a way that wold somewhat make sense to non-coders - if you have any feedback for the future format of these devlogs, let me know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disclaimers:

I have not used AI in the making of this app and I do NOT support the Vibe Coding mind virus that is currently on the loose. Programming is a form of art, and I will defend manual coding until the day I die.

Any alter data found in the screenshots is dummy data that does not represent our actual system.

I will not be making the code publicly available until it is a bit more fleshed out, this so far is just a trial for a concept I had bouncing around my head over the weekend.

We are SYSCOURSE NEUTRAL! Please don't start fights under this post

How to Protect Your Laravel App from JWT Attacks: A Complete Guide

Introduction: Understanding JWT Attacks in Laravel

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) have become a popular method for securely transmitting information between parties. However, like any other security feature, they are vulnerable to specific attacks if not properly implemented. Laravel, a powerful PHP framework, is widely used for building secure applications, but developers must ensure their JWT implementation is robust to avoid security breaches.

In this blog post, we will explore common JWT attacks in Laravel and how to protect your application from these vulnerabilities. We'll also demonstrate how you can use our Website Vulnerability Scanner to assess your application for potential vulnerabilities.

Common JWT Attacks in Laravel

JWT is widely used for authentication purposes, but several attacks can compromise its integrity. Some of the most common JWT attacks include:

JWT Signature Forgery: Attackers can forge JWT tokens by modifying the payload and signing them with weak or compromised secret keys.

JWT Token Brute-Force: Attackers can attempt to brute-force the secret key used to sign the JWT tokens.

JWT Token Replay: Attackers can capture and replay JWT tokens to gain unauthorized access to protected resources.

JWT Weak Algorithms: Using weak signing algorithms, such as HS256, can make it easier for attackers to manipulate the tokens.

Mitigating JWT Attacks in Laravel

1. Use Strong Signing Algorithms

Ensure that you use strong signing algorithms like RS256 or ES256 instead of weak algorithms like HS256. Laravel's jwt-auth package allows you to configure the algorithm used to sign JWT tokens.

Example:

// config/jwt.php 'algorithms' => [ 'RS256' => \Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWT\Provider::class, ],

This configuration will ensure that the JWT is signed using the RSA algorithm, which is more secure than the default HS256 algorithm.

2. Implement Token Expiry and Refresh

A common issue with JWT tokens is that they often lack expiration. Ensure that your JWT tokens have an expiry time to reduce the impact of token theft.

Example:

// config/jwt.php 'ttl' => 3600, // Set token expiry time to 1 hour

In addition to setting expiry times, implement a refresh token mechanism to allow users to obtain a new JWT when their current token expires.

3. Validate Tokens Properly

Proper token validation is essential to ensure that JWT tokens are authentic and have not been tampered with. Use Laravel’s built-in functions to validate the JWT and ensure it is not expired.

Example:

use Tymon\JWTAuth\Facades\JWTAuth; public function authenticate(Request $request) { try { // Validate JWT token JWTAuth::parseToken()->authenticate(); } catch (\Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\JWTException $e) { return response()->json(['error' => 'Token is invalid or expired'], 401); } }

This code will catch any JWT exceptions and return an appropriate error message to the user if the token is invalid or expired.

4. Secure JWT Storage

Always store JWT tokens in secure locations, such as in HTTP-only cookies or secure local storage. This minimizes the risk of token theft via XSS attacks.

Example (using HTTP-only cookies):

// Setting JWT token in HTTP-only cookie $response->cookie('token', $token, $expirationTime, '/', null, true, true);

Testing Your JWT Security with Our Free Website Security Checker

Ensuring that your Laravel application is free from vulnerabilities requires ongoing testing. Our free Website Security Scanner helps identify common vulnerabilities, including JWT-related issues, in your website or application.

To check your site for JWT-related vulnerabilities, simply visit our tool and input your URL. The tool will scan for issues like weak algorithms, insecure token storage, and expired tokens.

Screenshot of the free tools webpage where you can access security assessment tools.

Example of a Vulnerability Assessment Report

Once the scan is completed, you will receive a detailed vulnerability assessment report to check Website Vulnerability. Here's an example of what the report might look like after checking for JWT security vulnerabilities.

An Example of a vulnerability assessment report generated with our free tool, providing insights into possible vulnerabilities.

By addressing these vulnerabilities, you can significantly reduce the risk of JWT-related attacks in your Laravel application.

Conclusion: Securing Your Laravel Application from JWT Attacks

Securing JWT tokens in your Laravel application is essential to protect user data and maintain the integrity of your authentication system. By following the steps outlined in this post, including using strong algorithms, implementing token expiry, and validating tokens properly, you can safeguard your app from common JWT attacks.

Additionally, make sure to regularly test your application for vulnerabilities using tools like our Website Security Checker. It’s a proactive approach that ensures your Laravel application remains secure against JWT attacks.

In this article, we address vital security questions related to Laravel. It provides insights and tips on Laravel security best practices to help safeguard the applications.

Significance of Application Security

Application security is a critical aspect of Laravel development (and any software development) that ensures the protection of data and systems. It protects users from various threats and vulnerabilities. Here are a few key reasons why application security needs to be a high priority:

Data Breaches: Securing applications helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as personal information, financial details, and confidential business data.

Reputation Management: Users are more likely to trust and engage with applications that prioritize security. A single security breach can severely damage a company’s reputation and erode user trust.

Prevents Financial Loss: Data breaches can result in significant financial losses due to legal fees, fines, and remediation costs. Security incidents can lead to loss of business, decreased customer confidence, and long-term damage to brand equity.

Data Integrity: Application security helps ensure that data is not tampered with or altered by unauthorized entities.

Common Threats: Laravel security measures protect against various cyber threats, including SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and more.

Advanced Threats: Security practices also help defend against more sophisticated attacks, such as zero-day exploits and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

Application security cannot be overstated. It is essential for protecting sensitive data and maintaining user trust. It also helps prevent financial losses, ensure application integrity, and mitigate cyber risks.

It plays a big role in enhancing development processes, supporting business continuity, and facilitating compliance with legal requirements. Prioritizing security is crucial for the success and longevity of any business operating in this digital age.

Here are a few relevant facts and statistics:

The application security market is expected to generate $6.97 Billion in 2024.

According to Statista's forecast, the size of the security market in 2028 will be $11.83 billion.

Application breaches account for 25% of all breaches.

Over 75% of applications will have at least one flaw.

As per a report by IBM, the costliest data breach was $4.25 Million.

An average ransomware attack costs $4.54 million.

Vital Laravel Security Questions

How Does Laravel Handle Authentication?

Laravel offers an out-of-the-box comprehensive authentication system that simplifies the implementation of user login and registration. The Auth facade provides an easy way to manage authentication, including features such as:

User registration and login

Password reset functionality

Authentication guards

User roles and permissions

Use Strong Password Policies

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Secure Password Storage

How Can You Prevent SQL Injection in Laravel?

Laravel uses Eloquent ORM and the query builder, which automatically protects against SQL injection. By using parameter binding, Laravel ensures that user input is safely escaped before executing SQL queries.

Always prefer Eloquent ORM for database interactions, as it inherently protects against SQL injection. When using raw SQL queries, always use parameter binding to ensure inputs are correctly escaped.

How Does Laravel Protect Against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)?

Laravel provides built-in protection against XSS by automatically escaping output. This means that any data retrieved from the database and displayed in views is escaped to prevent script injection. Always escape output using Laravel’s {{ }} syntax for variables.

How Can You Prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Laravel?

Laravel automatically generates a CSRF token for each active user session. This token is embedded in forms and must be included in any request that modifies data. Laravel then verifies the token to ensure the request is legitimate. Ensure all forms include the CSRF token.

How Can You Secure Laravel Routes and Controllers?

Laravel middleware provides a mechanism for filtering HTTP requests entering your application. Use authentication and authorization middleware to protect routes. Apply appropriate access controls to routes to ensure only authorized users can access certain parts of the application. Controllers handle the business logic of your application and should also be secured. Always validate user inputs in controllers to prevent invalid data from being processed. Laravel’s authorization policies provide a way to manage user permissions for accessing specific actions.

How Can You Secure Laravel’s File Uploads?

Ensure that only allowed file types and sizes are uploaded with the help of validation techniques. Store uploaded files outside the public directory to prevent direct access.

How Can You Implement a Secure Password Reset in Laravel?

Laravel provides a robust password reset feature out of the box, including generating secure tokens and sending password reset emails. It uses a secure token generation mechanism, ensuring that tokens are unique and hard to guess. Limiting the number of password reset requests from a single IP address prevents brute-force attacks.

How Can You Secure Laravel APIs?

Secure your APIs with tokens using Laravel Passport or Laravel Sanctum. Implement rate limiting on API endpoints to prevent abuse. Encrypt data in transit using HTTPS and ensure that sensitive data is never transmitted in plain text.

How Can You Keep Laravel Dependencies Secure?

Only use packages from trusted sources and review their security practices before including them in your project. Use tools like snyk or npm audit to scan your dependencies for known vulnerabilities.

How Can You Implement Logging and Monitoring in Laravel?

Logging and monitoring are essential for detecting and responding to security incidents. They provide insights into application activity and help identify potential security issues. Laravel provides a robust logging system based on Monolog. Configure logging to capture important events and errors. Review logs regularly for suspicious activity and respond promptly to any potential security threats.

Most common security threats faced by Laravel applications?

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Attackers inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.

SQL Injection: Malicious SQL statements are insert into an entry field for execution.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Unauthorized commands are transmit from a user that the web application trusts.

Unauthorized Access: Improper authentication and authorization checks can allow users to access restricted areas.

Data Leakage: Sensitive information is exposed due to improper handling of data.

What are some common misconfigurations that can lead to security vulnerabilities in Laravel applications?

Debug Mode: Never run your application in debug mode in a production environment. Debug mode can expose sensitive information about your application's configuration.

Environment Variables: Ensure that sensitive information in the .env file is not expose and is securely manage.

Server Configurations: Ensure the server is configure correctly to prevent directory listing and other exposures. Use .htaccess or server configurations to secure directories.

Some advanced security features provided by Laravel 11?

Argon2id Support: Enhanced password hashing with support for Argon2id, providing better resistance against side-channel attacks.

Native Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Built-in support for adding a layer of security to user accounts.

Automatic HTTPS Enforcement: Easier enforcement of HTTPS across all routes, ensuring data encryption during transmission.

What role does Laravel Telescope play in application security?

Real-Time Monitoring: Telescope provides real-time monitoring and logging of security-related events such as failed login attempts, CSRF token mismatches, and more.

Alerting: Enhanced alerting and notification features to keep developers informed of potential security issues, allowing for swift action.

Laravel is a popular PHP framework that provides a robust routing system for building web applications. The routing system in Laravel allows you to define how incoming HTTPrequests should be handled and mapped to specific controllers and actions within your application. To get started with the routing system in Laravel, follow these steps: Routes File: Open the routes/web.php file in your Laravel application. This file contains the route definitions for handling web requests. You can define your routes here using the Route facade. Basic Route: A basic route definition consists of an HTTP verb (e.g., GET, POST) and a URL pattern. For example, to handle a GET request to the root of your application, you can define a route like this: phpCopy code Route::get('/', function () return 'Hello, World!'; ); Route Parameters: You can define route parameters by wrapping them in curly braces within the URL pattern. For example, to capture a user ID in the URL, you can define a route like this: phpCopy code Route::get('/user/id', function ($id) return 'User ID: ' . $id; ); Named Routes: You can assign names to your routes using the name method. Named routes are useful when generating URLs or redirecting to a specific route. For example: phpCopy code Route::get('/user/id', function ($id) return 'User ID: ' . $id; )->name('user.profile'); Route Groups: You can group related routes together using the prefix and middleware methods. The prefix method allows you to add a common prefix to a group of routes, while the middleware method allows you to apply middleware to the routes within the group. For example: phpCopy code Route::prefix('admin')->middleware('auth')->group(function () Route::get('/dashboard', function () return 'Admin Dashboard'; ); // Other admin routes... ); Route Controllers: Instead of using anonymous functions as route callbacks, you can also route to controller actions. First, create a controller using the php artisan make:controller command. Then, you can define a route that points to a specific controller and action. For example: phpCopy code Route::get('/user/id', 'UserController@show'); In the above example, the show method of the UserController will be called when a GET request is made to the specified URL. Route Model Binding: Laravel's routing system also supports route model binding, which automatically injects model instances into your controller actions. For example, if you have a User model, you can define a route like this: phpCopy code Route::get('/user/user', function (User $user) return $user; ); In this case, Laravel will automatically fetch the user with the corresponding ID from the database and pass it to the route callback. These are some of the key concepts of Laravel routing system. By using these techniques, you can define flexible and powerful routes to handle various HTTP requests in your Laravel application. Remember to refer to the official Laravel documentation for more details and advanced routing features: https://laravel.com/docs/routing

How to Prevent Business Logic Vulnerabilities in Laravel Apps

Introduction

Business Logic Vulnerabilities (BLVs) are some of the most subtle and critical issues that developers can overlook in Laravel applications. These vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, and other serious security risks if not addressed properly.

In this blog post, we will dive deep into Business Logic vulnerabilities in Laravel, show you common examples, and walk you through the steps to prevent them with practical coding solutions. We’ll also introduce our Website Vulnerability Scanner tool to help you scan your Laravel application for vulnerabilities in real time.

What Are Business Logic Vulnerabilities?

Business Logic vulnerabilities occur when an application’s business rules, workflows, or logic can be bypassed or manipulated by an attacker. Unlike traditional security issues such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS), these vulnerabilities are often more complex because they are based on the specific design of your application.

Example: Insecure Transaction Logic

Consider a banking application where users are allowed to withdraw money. If the system doesn't properly validate the user's account balance before processing the withdrawal, a user could manipulate the application logic to withdraw more money than they actually have.

How to Prevent Business Logic Vulnerabilities in Laravel

Laravel is a powerful framework, but it’s essential to carefully design and validate the logic of your application to avoid vulnerabilities.

1. Enforcing Authorization at Every Level

To prevent unauthorized access, always ensure that authorization checks are performed at each level of your application. For instance, a user should only be able to access their own data, and not that of other users.

public function viewUserProfile($id) { $user = User::findOrFail($id); // Check if the current user is the owner if (auth()->user()->id !== $user->id) { abort(403, 'Unauthorized action.'); } return view('profile', compact('user')); }

This example ensures that only the user who owns the profile can access it.

2. Using Request Validation

Always validate user inputs, especially when dealing with critical business operations like payments, transfers, or product purchases.

$request->validate([ 'amount' => 'required|numeric|min:10', // Minimum withdrawal of 10 units 'recipient_id' => 'required|exists:users,id', ]); // Process the transfer if validation passes $transaction = Transaction::create([ 'user_id' => auth()->id(), 'amount' => $request->input('amount'), 'recipient_id' => $request->input('recipient_id'), ]);

This ensures that no invalid or malicious data is processed by your application.

3. Implementing Rate Limiting

Rate limiting can prevent attackers from abusing your endpoints and triggering unwanted actions. Laravel provides an easy way to set up rate limiting.

use Illuminate\Cache\RateLimiter; public function register() { RateLimiter::for('login', function (Request $request) { return Limit::perMinute(5)->by($request->email); }); }

In this example, users are limited to five login attempts per minute, preventing brute-force attacks or abuse of business logic.
