System Weakness·2yPassword Cracking 101
Learn essential techniques for cracking password hashes and analyze cryptographic algorithms. Discover the concepts of cryptography, hashing, and salting. Get hands-on with tools like hashid, ShellScript, PowerShell, MD5, and Hashcat for practical password cracking exercises.
Three Dots Labs·2yLive website updates with Go, SSE, and htmx
Learn how to push live updates to your website using Go, SSE, and htmx. SSE endpoints in Go are slightly different from HTTP endpoints because you don't just write data to the ResponseWriter and return from the function. The connection stays alive until the client (the browser) closes it.
Community Picks·2yPaseto is a Secure Alternative to the JOSE Standards (JWT, etc.)
Paseto (Platform-Agnostic Security Tokens) is introduced as a secure alternative to JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and related JOSE standards. Paseto simplifies security by eliminating the complexities and vulnerabilities associated with JWT, like choosing algorithms and handling encryption keys. It offers versioned protocols with predefined ciphersuites to avoid configuration errors and downgrade attacks. Paseto aims to be secure by default, and its straightforward design makes it easy to implement and use. The new version 0.5.0 is ready for production use, with talks of submitting it as a standard to the IETF.
