Безопасность подов: взгляд пользователя K8s

Про информационную безопасность Kubernetes-кластеров много пишут с позиции специалистов ИБ. Но полезно взглянуть на эту тему глазами обычных пользователей K8s — инженеров и разработчиков. Тех, кто много работает со своими приложениями в подах, но не управляет служебными частями кластера. Большинство стандартов безопасности описывает лучшие практики настройки управляющих компонентов — control plane. Нечасто встречаются рекомендации по грамотной настройке рабочих единиц — подов. В статье попробуем восполнить этот пробел. Выполним обзор источников, рассмотрим хорошие практики работы с образами. Изучим, как ограничить привилегии контейнера и почему это важно. Поговорим о инструментах автоматической проверки манифестов и разберем примеры GItlab CI пайпланов.

#protesting #activism #BestPractices

'This WIRED guide to safe protesting was originally written in 2020 during the nationwide outcry over police brutality, which overwhelmingly targets Black people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade. We’ve now updated this guide to include advice specific to mass action, your rights and protections as a US citizen, protesting in or around government property, and laws around defacing property (like, say, a Tesla).'

Тонкости работы с логгированием в Python: краткий гайд для разработчиков

Логирование является одним из ключевых и важнейших элементов разработки и эксплуатации приложений. Умение правильно вести журнал логов — ключ к эффективной отладке и мониторингу приложений. Оно дает ценную информацию всей цепочке заинтересованных лиц: от разработчиков и системных администраторов до руководителей бизнеса. В статье рассмотрен де-факто стандарт логирования — модуль logging в Python. Я дам общие рекомендации по его настройке и опишу практики применения модуля, подходящие для большинства случаев.

'At The Markup, some of our data journalists recently had questions about the legal risks involved in scraping websites hosted in the European Union. We conducted our own research to answer this question, and offer a summary of what we learned below. Our goal is to help other journalists, researchers, and advocates come up with a low-risk strategy for scraping in the EU.'

Logging Reloaded: Quarkus Edition

#Java #Quarkus #Logging #BestPractices

My god, I just realized one of the simplest opsec things you can do (something I've been doing for years and don't even think about anymore) is set your browsers to open links in private/secure instances AS A DEFAULT.

If it needs to be opened in a window that you want to keep open or bookmark, you can always manually copy and paste it.

It makes no sense to be using a secure shared tool like cryptpad, if you're just gonna open it where you're logged in as you.

Remember the #SocialEngineering motto:
If there are people, there are security holes.

Over-engineering takeaways:
Misjudging future requirements can lead to inappropriate abstractions.
Avoiding over-engineering can be as impactful as achieving technical brilliance.
Simplicity is key to maintainability.
Avoid predicting needs that aren't certain.
Create abstractions that align with current and reasonable future requirements.

surely one of you #infosec peers has a guide or article on why #VPN services aren't the privacy silver bullet they often advertise themselves to be. something that mentions you're paying co-conspirators to #mitm your own traffic in addition to lowering the reputation to that of your new address space?
