In this blog post series we will present how to deploy a Laravel app on Kubernetes. In this first tutorial, we start with a simple setup, and leave horizontal scaling and high-availability for a follow-up post...
Read moreFor the majority of developed program, it is necessary to use a robust and efficient Log mechanism. It is of course the case for a web interface. It is important to be able to track potential bugs or issues.
Read moreWhen multiple users must use the same kubernetes cluster, a good practice consists in segregating them in isolated namespaces. In this tutorial we show how to create a namespace, apply quotas so the user cannot exhaust the resources (memory and cpu) of the cluster, and create a dedicated kubectl user.

Read moreIn 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. More often than not, this data is collected and send to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool, running on the network, where it can be processed and reviewed by domain specialists.

Read moreManaging 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.
Read moreStill today, some network monitoring tools and security systems rely on the MAC address of the host. However, a MAC address is not an authentication mechanism! It can be easily changed. More precisely, by default most operating systems will use the MAC address burnt into the network interface as the source MAC address for all emitted Ethernet frames. But you can easily reconfigure your system to change this behavior. Here is how to do that on a Linux computer.
Read moreHave you ever wanted to ensure your users use email addresses they actually possess? Here is a quick way to achieve it. This tutorial assumes that you already have:
Read moreWe are organizing a new training session on git, GitLab and Continuous Integration (CI) for Python developers.
Read moreAs I mentioned in the previous blog posts on the subject of the GHOSTS framework, I often use virtual machines to set up and run my tests. In the case of GHOSTS, i have the main GHOSTS server API running on a Linux VM with docker and docker-compose, and the GHOSTS client is running on a Windows 10 virtual machine. If you are interested to read about it, you can find the previous blogs at the following links:
Read moreThe 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.
