We don’t often think about how dangerous something as simple as a file can be. But we’ve seen firsthand how just one insecure file operation can open a backdoor into an otherwise secure .NET Core application. That’s why we can’t…
We didn’t always think about roles and policies. Back when we built our first API, we just wanted it to work. But once real users started logging in, asking questions they shouldn’t ask, or seeing things they shouldn’t see—things clicked.…
We’ve all stared down a blank code editor, thinking our app’s solid, airtight, ready to ship. But then—bam. A script injection sneaks in. Not because we didn’t care, but because we assumed something we shouldn’t. That’s how Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)…
There’s something quiet but powerful about watching a form fail. Not because it breaks, but because it catches what’s broken before it becomes a problem. We’ve all filled out a form, clicked submit, and been nudged—sometimes not so gently—by a…
We run into the same headache every time—how do we keep secrets like API keys and passwords safe in our .NET Core projects? It’s easy to slip up and leave something sensitive in source control, especially when we’re moving fast.…
It hit us once while debugging a nasty crash—we’d leaned too hard on .NET’s automatic memory management. Assumed the garbage collector would save us. Thought Span would catch everything. But we were wrong. Deep in one of our async calls,…
We remember the first time we handled encrypted data. It felt like holding a locked box without the key. We had a string, a purpose, and a fear—fear that we’d mess something up and leave that data wide open. Working…
We know how easy it is to get caught up in shipping features and forget about the quiet gaps that can turn into security nightmares. With ASP.NET Core, the pressure’s always on—deadlines, user requests, and the next big thing. But…
We’ve all done it at some point—trusted that little text box a bit too much. You get your first connection string running, your first SQL command executing, and suddenly the rush of seeing data fly in feels like magic. But…
We don’t just write C# code to make things run—we write it to keep trouble out. Attackers poke at every edge, looking for mistakes we might’ve missed. That’s why we drill secure coding standards into our process. These aren’t just…
