When multiple users must use the same kubernetes cluster, a good practice consists in segregating them in isolated namespaces.

In modern network infrastructures, there are a lot of sources of data, that can be of interest for collection and analysis, to see if possible suspicious activity is present in the network.

The ELK Stack and how to use it

Monitoring APT Detection

Managing big networks can be quite complicated- many inbound and outbound requests, network traffic, email correspondence and other activities that need to be monitored. It is quite easy for an attacker to obfuscate his actions, when we are confronted with large amounts of network data to analyze. Luckily there are ways to aggregate all this data and store it so it can be reviewed and hopefully discover any abnormal activity. Of course, I am talking about the use of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) framework. One such framework that has gained a lot of popularity, because of its modularity and open-source nature, is the ElasticSearch/Logstash/Kibana framework.

Optimizing and compressing your Windows Virtual Machine

Automated web application testing with PHP, Selenium and GitLab

PHP GitLab

The easiest way to test that a web application is working correctly is to use a browser and manually go through the pages. If one wants to automate the testing process, there are conceptually two possible approaches: 1) using raw HTTP requests to simulate a browser or 2) using some library and code to drive an actual browser.
