The common approach is that the customer fixes the code and I perform the necessary steps to confirm that that initial security breach was closed. Sometimes it takes the customer a couple of tries to achieve that.</p> <p>Most security problems (XSS, CSRF, SQLi) can easily be automated tested, but I had problems automating server-side authentication and authorization problems. The test would have to emulate multiple parallel user sessions. The tests mostly consists of one session trying to access the resources of another user session.</p> https://snikt.net/blog/2014/09/09/migrating-to-middleman/ Tue, 09 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000 https://snikt.net/blog/2014/09/09/migrating-to-middleman/ <p>My blog has a history of migrations. It started as wordpress, then was converted Octopress. After <a href="http://octopress.org/">Octopress</a> was missing update-love and <a href="http://jekyllrb.com/">jekyll</a> started to be actively maintained again it switched over to <a href="http://jekyllrb.com/">jekyll</a>. And now, it finally is based upon <a href="http://middlemanapp.com/">Middleman</a>.</p> <p>Sorry for any inconvinient bugs or layout errors that will happen during the migration.</p> <p>Why have I switched to middleman?</p> <ul> <li>as I&rsquo;m a RoR devleoper it seems better suited for me. Jekyll always seemed to be the choice for &ldquo;web designer that need to add some dynamic content&rdquo; while middleman seems to incorporate the &ldquo;web developer that needs some blog&rdquo;-attitude</li> <li>nice integration with bundler</li> <li>existing plugins for deployment. This replaced a lot of custom cruft that I had to initially write for myself when I was using jekyll</li> </ul> <p>While in there I&rsquo;ve switched from bootstrap to <a href="http://bourbon.io/">bourbon</a>/<a href="http://neat.bourbon.io/">neat</a>/<a href="http://bitters.bourbon.io/">bitters</a>. Let&rsquo;s see how this works out. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind the framework to be called Islay though.</p> https://snikt.net/blog/2012/11/18/linux-how-to-forward-port-3000-to-port-80/ Sun, 18 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://snikt.net/blog/2012/11/18/linux-how-to-forward-port-3000-to-port-80/ Howto forward port 3000 to port 80 under Linux. https://snikt.net/blog/2012/11/03/moving-octopress-to-amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/ Sat, 03 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://snikt.net/blog/2012/11/03/moving-octopress-to-amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/ Moving OctoPress to Amazon S3 is easy, but how&#39;s the performance? https://snikt.net/blog/2012/05/01/generating-pdfs-with-wicked_pdf/ Tue, 01 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://snikt.net/blog/2012/05/01/generating-pdfs-with-wicked_pdf/ wicked_pdf allows generating PDFs from ruby on rails, for free!
