We see Express.js everywhere—fast, flexible, and powering a ton of web apps and APIs. But with that popularity comes a steady stream of attackers looking for weak spots. In our training bootcamp, we push the idea that securing Express.js isn’t…
We see a lot of Node.js apps go live with good intentions but shaky defenses, and it’s easy to forget that just writing code isn’t enough. Threats hit from every angle—data leaks, broken authentication, risky packages. That’s why we built…
We’ve seen Angular apps take off because they’re fast and flexible, but that same flexibility can open the door to security headaches. Too often, developers overlook things like XSS, CSRF, or risky third-party code until there’s a real problem. We…
We’ve watched React apps get bigger and more connected, and with that, the risks have only grown. While React’s structure blocks some attacks by default, we still have to watch out for things like XSS, injection, and risky dependencies. Our…
We see it in every class we teach: developers underestimate frontend security risks until it’s too late. Our students come to us after their first major security incident, usually shocked at how easily attackers exploited their JavaScript code. Through our…
Secure coding in client-side JavaScript is essential because every line of frontend code runs in a user-controlled environment. That means attackers can probe, manipulate, and exploit weak points directly in the browser. The most common and damaging risk is cross-site…
We’ve witnessed firsthand how Python type hinting transforms security practices in our development team. When we implemented strict typing across our 50,000-line codebase last quarter, developers caught input validation errors that might have led to injection vulnerabilities. Type hints force…
Python developers face a constant challenge: hiding passwords and API keys from prying eyes. The stakes are high, one leaked credential can compromise an entire system. Smart devs use environment variables for local work. Some encrypt config files (though this…
Python’s pickle module simplifies serialization and deserialization, but it has a major risk. When unpickling, Python runs any bytecode in the data. This opens doors for attackers. If they create a harmful pickle, they can execute arbitrary code on your…
Input validation stands tall in software security, a must for developers. It protects applications from threats like injection attacks and crashes. For Python enthusiasts, using secure input validation libraries can streamline this process. Options like Cerberus, Pydantic, and Voluptuous offer…
