Even if you don’t know about signed Git commits, you might have seen this on GitHub:

No matter if you are creating a simple REST service or a complex one, you will need to handle panics to provide good resiliency and stability. Without panic recovery mechanisms in place, an uncaught panic in your HTTP handler will crash your entire server, leaving your clients without service and no meaningful error response.

Setting up bgp on mikrotik CCR2004-16G-2S+ was quite challenging because it only supports ROs7.

We have a couple of issues with Windows 2019 refusing to boot after installing Hyper-V role and performing Windows updates.

Businesses use the SOCKS5 proxy all of the time, mostly for security purposes. Since security is a major point of any data-driven organization, including a SOCKS5 proxy could significantly ramp up the digital security of the company’s data.

Besides securing their data, it can restrict access to particular digital services through advanced authentication, which is completely optional and comes as a courtesy of SOCKS5.

Honeypots are a security tool that is used to protect networks and systems from malicious attacks. They are designed to mimic the behavior of a real network or system, making them appear attractive to potential attackers. When an attacker targets a honeypot, they are led to believe that they have successfully breached a valuable asset, when in reality, they are interacting with a decoy. Honeypots are a valuable tool for security professionals, as they can provide valuable information about an attacker’s tactics and motivations, as well as alerting the security team to potential threats.

Request-based tracing provides a way to determine what exactly is happening with your requests and why.

It is handy when you want to reproduce and understand the problem that you are experiencing.

Static site generators are a fantastic way to manage a website. Static sites are faster and safer than dynamic sites. Nginx is an ideal web server for serving these static files.

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simplified version of FTP (File Transfer Protocol). It was designed to be easy and simple. TFTP leaves out many authentication features of FTP and it runs on UDP port 69. As it is very lightweight, it is still used for different purposes.

If you’re running a HTTP server and want to rate limit user requests, and most of the frameworks are providing their own middleware.

But if you want something simple and lightweight – or just want to learn – it’s not too difficult to roll your own middleware to handle rate limiting.
