Could you have imagined that a large company would engage in deceiving its customers, especially if that company positions itself as a guarantor of security? I certainly couldn't until recently. This article serves as a warning to think twice before buying a code signing certificate from Comodo. In my professional capacity (system administration) […]
Hello, I am engaged in creating applications for the Tarantool DBMS — a platform developed by Mail.ru Group that combines a high-performance DBMS with an application server in Lua. The high speed of solutions based on Tarantool is achieved in part due to support for in-memory mode of the DBMS and the capability to execute application business logic in the same address space as the data. Meanwhile, […]
Note from the translator: The author of the original note, published on June 1, decided to conduct an experiment among those interested in information security. For this, he prepared a fake exploit for an undisclosed vulnerability in a web server and posted it on his Twitter. His assumptions — to be instantly exposed by specialists who would see the obvious deception in the code — not only did not come true… They exceeded all expectations, […]

"What's the matter? It is many a glorious path." N.A. Nekrasov Hello everyone! My name is Karina, and I am a "dual-tasker" — balancing my master's studies and working as a technical writer at Veeam Software. I want to share how I managed this. Additionally, some may find out how to enter this profession and what opportunities I see for myself.
PrusaSlicer is a slicer, which is a program that takes a 3D model in the form of a mesh made of regular triangles and converts it into a special command program for a 3D printer. For example, in the form of G-code for FFF printers, which contains detailed instructions on how to move the print head (extruder) in space and how much hot plastic to extrude through it.
As you may remember, at the end of 2017, a new free solution for service providers, Veeam Availability Console, was launched, which we talked about on our blog. With this console, service providers can remotely manage and monitor the security of virtual, physical, and cloud user infrastructures where Veeam solutions operate. The innovation quickly gained recognition, leading to the release of a second version.
Every service whose users can create their own content (UGC — User-generated content) is forced not only to address business challenges but also to maintain order in UGC. Poor or low-quality content moderation can ultimately diminish the service’s attractiveness to users, potentially even leading to its discontinuation. Today we will discuss the synergy between Yula and Odnoklassniki, which helps us effectively manage this.
Web applications are now used everywhere, and HTTP accounts for a large portion of all transport protocols. When studying the nuances of web application development, most pay very little attention to the operating system where these applications actually run. The separation of development (Dev) and operations (Ops) only worsened the situation. However, with the rise of DevOps culture, developers are beginning to take responsibility for launching their applications in the cloud, which means for […]
Beeline is actively implementing IPoE technology in its home networks. This approach allows customers to be authenticated by the MAC address of their equipment without the use of VPN. When transitioning the network to IPoE, the router's VPN client becomes inactive and continues to insistently try to connect to the disabled provider's VPN server. We just have to reconfigure the router's VPN client to a VPN server in a country where internet blocking is not practiced, and all […]
