Concurrency is the key to designing high performance network services. Go's concurrency primitives (goroutines and channels) provide a simple and efficient means of expressing concurrent execution. In this talk we see how tricky concurrency problems can be solved gracefully with simple Go code.

Online games, such as MMORPG's, are the most complex multi-user applications ever created. The security problems that plague these games are universal to all distributed software systems. Online virtual worlds are eventually going to replace the web as the dominant social space on the 'Net, as Facebook apps have shown, and this is big business. MMORPG game security is something that is very important to game studios and players, yet bots and exploits continue to infest all major

Really good explanation of lambda implementations in c++

During Defcon 22, @ErrataRob, @paulm and @Viss (mass)scanned the Internet and presented some Tips, Tricks and Results. Lots of people confronted @Viss after he posted some VNC screenshots on his Twitter timeline. He posted a follow-up article on his blog and Kashmir Hill, from Forbes, wrote an article about the exposed VNC services.

Mbox is a lightweight sandboxing mechanism that any user can use without special privileges in commodity operating systems.

One of the most exciting features of C++11 is ability to create lambda functions (sometimes referred to as closures). What does this mean? A lambda function is a function that you can write inline in your source code (usually to pass in to another function, similar to the idea of a functor or function pointer).

This article discusses a series of features new to C++11 that all developers should learn and use. There are lots of new additions to the language and the standard library, and this article barely scratches the surface. However, I believe some of these new features should become routine for all C++ developers

Firejail is a SUID security sandbox program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces. It allows a process and all its descendants to have their own private view of the globally shared kernel resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table.

cheerp is the C++ compiler for the web
Write a web application, or port your existing one, all in C++. cheerp will generate JavaScript code that can run on any browser.

The idea of transactional memory is to create a block of a code that will be executed 'atomically'. Thanks to this abstraction, the creation of a concurent program is a bit easier. Indeed, it avoids the usage of locks to protect a shared data-structure or variable. This block delimits the start and the commit of the transaction.

Since the ancient times it is considered that the IP Address and the HTTP Cookies is the only reliable digital fingerprints which affects the online privacy and web browser identity. After a while, the privacy invaders began to looking for the ways to increase the user-tracking reliability to identify users from the general flow, they started to collect more and more additional user sensitive information.

Today the situation is more disappointing. Modern web browsers has not been architected to assure personal web privacy. Developers of major anonymity networks like TOR have no choice to edit the source code of a web browsers to somehow smooth over the situation, but this is sometimes not enough.

BrowserLeaks.com — It's all about Web Browser Fingerprinting. Here you will find the gallery of web browser security testing tools, that tell you what exactly personal identity data may be leaked without any permissions when you surf the Internet.

A SSL certificate is a way to encrypt a site's information and create a more secure connection. Additionally, the certificate can show the virtual private erver's identification information to site visitors. Certificate Authorities can issue SSL certificates that verify the server's details while a self-signed certificate has no 3rd party corroboration.

Nous avons souvent tendance à considérer un individu ou un système comme stupide parce qu’il ne remplit pas les objectifs prévus, qu’il n’a pas les résultats escomptés. Or, dans l’immense majorité des cas, une recherche un peu plus approfondie démontrera qu’il n’en est rien. La majorité des humains et des systèmes fonctionnent très bien. C’est juste que nous nous méprenons souvent sur l’objectif réel

Learn how to use metasploit

One of the leading problems in cyber security today is the emergence
of targeted attacks conducted by adversaries with access to
sophisticated tools, sometimes referred to as Advanced Persistent
Threats (APTs). These attacks target specific organisations or
individuals and aim at establishing a continuous and undetected
presence in the targeted infrastructure. The goal of these attacks
is often espionage: stealing valuable intellectual property and
confidential documents

libtins is a high-level, multiplatform C++ network packet sniffing and crafting library.

Its main purpose is to provide the C++ developer an easy, efficient, platform and endianess-independent way to create tools which need to send, receive and manipulate network packets.
