PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest - Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Uri'

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 21:03

I'm trying to help a developer who is trying to harden a web server against server-side request forgery. In short, I've wrote a script that sends a "forged" HTTP request which we will use to test against the server until it is configured to not respond to such manipulated requests. I'm getting an error on Invoke-WebRequest: "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Uri'" and while I've tried a ton of different combos of the below code I cannot get it to fly. Any thoughts? (Note: my-ef.example.com below is not the actual host)

How to use a SHA256 MessageDigest in Java on Linux

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 19:42

I encountered a problem while trying to get my java project running on my Debian 10 server. Everything seems to work, but java throws an error when i try to get an instance of a MessageDigest with "SHA256".

It occurs in this line:

MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA256");

The exception:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: SHA256 MessageDigest not available

Is there a way to install SHA256 functionality or another way i can create a sha256 hash?

Swing JMenuBar not rendering properly

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 18:31

First time actually using anything to do with swing - sorry for the poor code and crude visuals!
Using swing for a massively over-complicated password checker school project, and when I came to loading in a JMenuBar, it doesn't render properly the first time. Once I run through one of the options first, it reloads correctly, but the first time it comes out like this: First render attempt
But after I run one of the methods, either by clicking one of the buttons that I added to check if it was just the JFrame that was broken or using one of the broken menu options, it reloads correctly, but has a little grey bar above where the JMenuBar actually renders: Post-method render

The code for the visuals is as follows:

You should separate creating your menu from your content. Please review the following example. I decoupled your menu, component, and event logic into meaningful phases.

Preventing spoofing attack - how to ensure my client receives orders from the real server?

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 16:51

I'm working on a Chrome extension that integrates with a website. My users can do actions on this website when they are logged in to it.

I have a Socket.IO server that delivers commands to my Chrome extension. Once a command arrived, the extension invokes a local function from the host website. Then, the host website, which has an authenticated active session with its own API, will invoke some update/insert call.

I recently realized a potential security issue, which is - if anyone spoofs my server address on my extension clients organization, he can easily abuse it to send his own parameters on behalf of my server (image 2).

Is there any smart way to ensure my client communicates with the real server and not an imposter?

Use HTTPS secured connection.

This is one of the features of HTTPS (SSL/TLS) - it can prevent a MITM attack and prevent the destination server from being impersonated.

Region eu-west-2 not available for aws module boto.ec2 latest

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 15:39

I'm running boto with python3 and I'm running an ansible playbook to setup some ec2 instances. Everything is fine, creating instances, security groups, key pairs, everything in eu-west-2. When the task for Elastic IPs runs it fails with this message: Region eu-west-2 does not seem to be available for aws module boto.ec2. If the region definitely exists, you may need to upgrade boto or extend with endpoints_path

I'm running ansible with -e ansible_python_interpreter="/usr/bin/python3". I have latest boto installed.

Please enable the quarkus-smallrye-jwt TRACE logging to see why the tokens are rejected. And indeed, as you have also found out, https protocol needs to be enabled in the native image, which can be done, as you have shown :-), by adding --enable-url-protocols=https to the native profile's properties in pom.xml.

This PR will ensure adding it manually won't be required.

QUESTION

Security concern of using Firebase ID tokens for authentication on my custom backend

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 15:02

I want to use firebase auth for my android and ios applications with custom backend. So I need some way of authentication for api calls from mobile apps to the backend.

I was able to find following guide in firebase documentation which suggests to sent firebase id token to my backend and validate it there with firebase Admin SDK. https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/verify-id-tokens

But this approach does not seem to be a security best practice. For example here https://auth0.com/blog/why-should-use-accesstokens-to-secure-an-api/ it is said that for API access one should use access tokens rather than id tokens.

Are there any good pattern for using firebase auth with my backend?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 15:02

firebaser here

Firebase itself passes the ID token with each request, and then uses that on the server to identify the user and to determine whether they're authorized to perform the operation. This is a common (I'd even say idiomatic) approach to authentication and authorization, and if there's a security risk that you've identified in it, we'd love to hear about it on https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/

From reading the blog post it seems the author is making a distinction between authentication (the user proving their identify) and authorization (them getting access to certain resources based on that identity), but it'd probably be best to ask the author for more information on why that would preclude passing an ID token to identify the user.

Preventing phpunit from launching all functions

Asked 2021-Jun-15 at 13:01

How to prevent phpunit from launching functions that I don't want?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 13:01

In tests you don't want to be using the constructor. Symfony will try to autowire service which you don't want because you want to be able to mock the secondary services.

To prevent this you remove the constructor and use the setUp function instead. PHPUnit works in such a way that the setUp function will always run before each test. So in here you would instantiate the service(class) you are testing.

A simple setUp function looks like this:

ANSWER

I would recommend using /action:Script (see here) to see which actions it will perform, most likely this will give you some clue as to which flags should be set/cleared.

-- Edit According to this old answer you can disable deploying the database properties when designing the .dacpac.
If you want to override this behaviour when publishing the .dacpac, you should probably use the ScriptDatabaseOptions property - see the whole list of switches here.

Install security

You can download it from GitHub.
You can use security like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
