Security in containers and orchestrations
Containers is the currently best way to build software for platform independence, and an orchestration service manages them, but how about that security?

Secure password storage - for users
Having unique passwords for every site and service presents us with the problem of remembering, or rather, storing our passwords in a safe but practical matter. How do we cope with hundreds of passwords?

Content Security Policy
Use Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent loading of untrusted resources and mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks

Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
At the beginning, web pages were very static. They were written in HTML, and the web browser had one job, to render the HTML to a page filled with text, images and links. After a few years, the developers wanted more, and JavaScript got introduced.Together with JavaScript came a new breed of vulnerabilities, where the attackers could exploit the possibility to run code in browsers, this was called Cross Site Scripting or XSS.

Predictable HTTP-responses
If your API has sensitive endpoints which returns different HTTP-responses given user action A or B, then this information is enough to infer user information which can be exploited. Learning from Tinder, let's investigate why having non-deterministic HTTP-responses are important and try to make our most business-critical API-endpoints more secure.
