Microsoft continues to enhance the Edge browser. While the presence of the Chromium rendering engine only guarantees rendering speed, it does not automatically make the browser the best by default. Therefore, developers have started to copy interesting features from others. One of these is the customizable tabs from the Vivaldi browser. Unlike most of its "industry peers," Vivaldi offers a plethora of settings that allow […]
Welcome to lesson 6. Today we will finally work with the famous Check Point graphical interface. It's what many love about Check Point, while some hate. If you remember the last lesson, I mentioned that security settings can be managed either through SmartConsole or through a special API introduced only in version R80. In this lesson […]
Linus Torvalds, the developer of the Linux operating system, which has long been used worldwide—from smartphones to servers—has called social media a 'disease.' He stated this in an interview with Linux Journal. 'I completely hate modern social media—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. It's a disease. They seem to encourage bad behavior,' noted the developer. This is quite an interesting […]
Microsoft has officially announced that the Windows 10 update numbered 1903 has been postponed to May of this year. It is reported that the update will be available next week for participants of the Windows Insider program. A full-scale rollout is planned for the end of May. This will be distributed through the Windows Update Center. By deploying updates, developers are taking a step towards users, […]
No, well, of course I’m not serious. There must be a limit to how much one can simplify the subject. But for the initial stages, to grasp basic concepts and quickly 'get into' the topic, it might be acceptable. As for how to properly name this material (options: 'Machine Learning for Dummies', 'Data Analysis from Scratch', 'Algorithms for the Very Young'), we will discuss this at the end. To […]
Again and again, after conducting an audit, I face a wall of misunderstanding concerning my recommendations to hide ports behind a whitelist. Even very skilled admins/DevOps ask, 'Why?!?' I propose considering the risks in descending order of likelihood and damage. Configuration error DDoS by IP Brute force Service vulnerabilities Kernel stack vulnerabilities Amplification of DDoS attacks Configuration error The most typical and dangerous situation. How […]
Check Point has reported that a vulnerability has been discovered in the Guard Provider application for Xiaomi smartphones. This breach allows the installation of malicious code on devices without the owner's knowledge. Ironically, the program was supposed to protect the smartphone from dangerous applications. It is reported that the vulnerability enables a MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) attack. This occurs if an attacker is in the […]
When I started learning JavaScript, the first thing I did was create a list of techniques that helped me save time. I picked them up from other programmers, various websites, and manuals. In this article, I'll show you 12 great ways to improve and speed up your JavaScript code. In most cases, they are universal. Reminder: all readers of "Habra" receive a discount of 10,000 […]
We have long been accustomed to the fact that large IT companies engage not only in product releases and service provision, but also actively participate in the development of internet infrastructure. Google's DNS, Amazon's cloud storage and hosting, Facebook's data centers around the world – fifteen years ago this seemed overly ambitious, but now it is the norm that everyone is used to. And now, the four largest […]
In the post about the regatta, we mentioned that in August all Hubrazhitelei can expect a competition with prizes. It's time to pull back the curtain of secrecy. At one point, we thought that the phrase 'server in the clouds' could be taken literally. So let's actually launch a functioning server into the sky that can be pinged! At first, the idea seemed crazy, but after some consideration […]
We are now on the verge of a new era of cloud computing. I don't quite understand why we refer to remote server computing as 'cloud'. Of course, we should remember ruvds, which launched a server on a balloon and Microsoft with a data center underwater, but in reality, we live 'next to' servers, which will soon become our primary means of computing. What […]
On April 19, a developer conference DUMP will be held in Yekaterinburg. The program directors of the Backend section – the head of Yandex's development office Andrey Zharinov, the head of the development department of Naumen Contact Center Konstantin Beklemishev, and engineer-programmer from Kontur Denis Tarasov – shared what reports developers can expect at the conference. There is an opinion that insights should not be expected from presentations at a 'festival' conference. We think […]
