Hello everyone. We are slowly stepping out of the shadows and continuing our series of articles about our product. After the previous overview article, we received a lot of feedback (mostly positive), suggestions, and bug reports. Today we will show TestMace in action, and you will be able to appreciate some of the features of our application. For a deeper understanding, I recommend checking our documentation at […]
Currently, REST API has become the standard for developing web applications, allowing the development to be divided into independent parts. For the UI, various popular frameworks like Angular, React, Vue, and others are being used. Backend developers can choose from a wide variety of languages and frameworks. Today, I would like to talk about a framework called NestJS. We at TestMace are actively […]
Hi, Habr! I would like to present to you a translation of the article "My solution is the best!" by John Hotterbeekx. Recently, I watched a speaker's presentation on architecture. The discussion was engaging, the concept and idea definitely made sense, but the speaker was not likable. What happened? More than half of the presentation was excellent, it included relevant examples, and the audience could see that the speaker clearly knew […]

The package also includes standard Unix utilities, server applications, compilers, libraries, and header files compiled directly for execution on Windows. Key changes: In compatibility mode […]
GitHub was subjected to an attack that allowed account access through manipulation of Unicode characters in emails. The issue arises because some Unicode characters, when using case transformation functions, are translated into ordinary characters that are visually similar (when several different characters are translated into one character—for example, the Turkish character 'ı' and 'i' […]
Hanno Böck, author of the project fuzzing-project.org, has pointed out vulnerabilities in interactive compilation interfaces that allow the processing of external code in C. By specifying an arbitrary path in the '#include' directive, the compilation error includes the contents of a file that failed to compile. For example, by inserting '#include <\/etc\/shadow>' in one of the online services, it was possible to retrieve the hash of the root user's password from the file […]
A new stable release of the interface for simplifying network parameter configuration has been published — NetworkManager 1.22.
