Web application firewall


Web application firewalls (WAFs) are a type of intrusion detection and prevention system and might be either a hardware or software solution. It is specifically designed to inspect HTTP(s) and analyse the GET and POST requests using the appalling detection logic explained below. Web application firewall software is generally available as a web server plugin.

WAF has become extremely popular and various companies offer a variety of solutions in different price categories, from small businesses to large corporations. Modern WAF is popular because it has a wide range of covered tasks, so web application developers can rely on it for various security issues, but with the assumption that this solution cannot guarantee absolute protection. A basic WAF workflow is shown below.



Its main function is the detection and blocking of queries in which, according to WAF analysis, there are some anomalies, or an attacking vector is traced. Such an analysis should not make it difficult for legitimate users to interact with a web application, but, at the same time, it must accurately and timely detect any attempted attack. In order to implement this functionality, WAF developers usually use regular expressions, tokens, behavioural analysis, reputation analysis and machine learning, and, often, all these technologies are used together.



In addition, WAF can also provide other functionality: protection from DDoS, blocking of IP-addresses of attackers, tracking of suspicious IP-addresses, adding an HTTP-only flag to the cookie, or adding the functionality of CSRF-tokens. Each WAF is individual and has a unique internal arrangement, but there are some typical methods used for analysis.

How often do you get to 404 pages? Usually, they are not styled and stay default. Recently I’ve found test.do.am which interactive character attracts attention and livens up the error page.

Probably, there was just a cat picture, then they thought up eyes movement and developer implemented the idea.imageNow user visits the page and checks out the effect. It’s cool and pleasant small feature, it catches, then user discusses it with colleagues or friends and even repeats the feature. It could be this easy, if not:

SAPUI5 for dummies part 5: A complete step-by-step exercise

Tutorial


Introduction & Recap


In the previous blog post, we learned how to create a second level of drill-down (detail of detail) and how to interact with OData and ODataModel (v2) in order to delete a database record.


What will be covered on this exercise


With Part 5 of this series of blog posts, we will learn how to create a SimpleForm within a Dialog that will allow us to update the information of a Sales Order Item.


Before updating the database order we have to check that everything typed by the user validates our constraints.


  • ODataModel: we have already used it to display server-side information about our Business Partner, Sales Order, and Sales Order Items. We’ve also used it to delete a database record. We’re now going to use it to update a record thanks to the submitChanges method or remove what we’ve done with the resetChanges method.
  • Expression Binding: an enhancement of the SAPUI5 binding syntax, which allows for providing expressions instead of custom formatter functions
  • SimpleForm: a layout that allows users to create a pixel-perfect form

SAPUI5 for dummies part 4: A complete step-by-step exercise

HTML * JavaScript * Programming * Website development *
Tutorial


Introduction & Recap


In the previous blog post, we learned how to move our current application into a Master-Detail app displaying Business Partner as a list (master) and its detail information with Sale Orders inside the detail page (detail).


What will be covered on this exercise


With Part 4 of this series of blog posts, we will learn how to create a second drill-down page with information about the Sale Order detail and display a table of Sale Order items.


The most important part of this exercise is to understand how to Delete (part of the CRUD operations) a Sale Order Item of a Sale Order.


  • ODataModel: we have already used it to display server-side information about our Business Partner, Order Sale. Now we’re going to use it to display Sale Order Item and delete them from the set. For this purpose, we’re going to use the remove method

This is our main task in this exercise but it’s not the only thing we’ve done in the code. Here’s a list of the things you have to do to get to the final result:


  • Add a new route and target in the manifest.json to navigate to the BusinessPartnerSeleOrderItem page
  • Listen on the Sale Order click event and navigate to the SaleOrder detail (where we will display sale order detail and sale order items)
  • Add a FilterBar to filter the Sale Order Item’s table
  • Add a ViewSettingsDialog to sort/group Sale Order Items
  • Expand the ToProduct navigation property of a SaleOrderItem entity to display Product information into table’s rows

Hello Habr! I'm Miloš from Badoo, and this is my first Habr post, originally published in our tech blog. Hope you like it, and please share and comment if you have any questions

So… React, amirite???

It appeared in the middle of the decade (plagued by the endless JavaScript framework wars), embraced the DOM, shocked everyone by mixing HTML with JavaScript and transformed the web development landscape beyond recognition.

All those accomplishments, without even being a framework.

Love it or hate it, React does one job really well, and that is HTML templating. Together with a great community and a healthy ecosystem, it’s not hard to see why it became one of the most popular and influential JavaScript libraries, if not the most popular one of all.

Introduction & Recap


In the previous blog post, we learned how to filter, sort and group our table. This is a fundamental aspect of every CRUD application because most of the time users have to deal with hundreds of hundreds of records.


What will be covered on this exercise


With Part 3 of this series of blog posts, we will learn how to create a Master-Detail application leveraging the SplitApp UI control and how correctly configure the app’s manifest to handle routes and targets.


  • SplitApp: UI control that allows you to create a Master-Detail application (used as a replacement of the App control)
  • Routing: we will configure the manifest.json to correctly handle the routing of the application
  • ObjectHeader: control that enables the user to easily identify a specific object. The object header title is the key identifier of the object and additional text and icons can be used to further distinguish it from other objects
  • Navigation to a detail view and bind the element context: you will learn how to navigate and open a detail page and bind the current View (of the detail) to a new context
  • List: in the master page we will use a list to display BusinessPartner because we will have less space
