It can be tempting for a web designer to include many cool elements on a website like fancy slideshows, or “lazy-loading” some elements as the user scrolls down the page, but this client-side rendering is really impacting SEO in a negative way. It used to be that Google, and other search engines, had no way to know which elements on a website were visible or invisible.

OWASP Top 10 Security Flaws haven’t changed much in years

Thinking about a new web application that could be the next big thing that users flock to? You’re probably paying more attention to the features of this new application rather than one of the most important aspects of it that could send people running for the hills: security, or the lack thereof. According to OWASP, a list of the top 10 vulnerabilities plaguing websites, the top 10 security vulnerabilities that should be addressed while developing any web application are:

1. Injection –One of the easiest exploits of any website which has become even easier as more automated tools are developed to make the process faster. It occurs when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter. Prevention of such an attack can be made my setting boundaries on the input data to only accept data within those boundaries, a so-called “whitelist” of data. In addition to the whitelist, try to use a parameterized interface and also escape the input data; 

2. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) – The most prevalent web application security flaw, according to OWASP. It occurs when user-supplied data is not escaped and/or validated. While most prevalent, it is also one of the easiest to prevent. Simply escape data and only accept data that is of the correct type, length, name and/or value, a so-called whitelist;

3. Broken Authentication and Session Management – Custom authentication schemes commonly suffer from such vulnerabilities as these because the development of custom authentication schemes is hard and the developer inadvertently doesn’t account for one or more of the common flaws. Prevention of such flaws can be by forcing developers to use a single set of authentication and session management controls; 4. Insecure Direct Object References –A developer might use the key names of database fields in forms on their web application. The attacker changes the name of the form field with a different value that they may not be authenticated for and submits the data. Prevention of such attack can be made by simply adding an abstraction to the fields of the database so that the field names are not known to the attacker; 5. Security Misconfiguration – The entire “stack”—the technologies that, when stacked up, facilitate an application to function—needs to be secure or else other attack vectors can be exploited. For example, a couple of years ago it was found that MySQL databases would allow an attacker to login to a database after 255 tries of the password. Any affected database that was exposed to the internet i.e. not filtered with a firewall, could be directly accessed without the need to go through the web application in order to be exploited. Prevention of such attacks can be made by ensuring that both developers and IT staff collaborate and continuously audit their systems for such flaws; 6. Missing Function Level Access Control –A malicious and authenticated user changes a parameter of the URL and is able to gain access to a function of the website because the developer didn’t check to make sure the user should have access to that function. Prevention of such attack is as simple as make sure that if a function is accessed, the user has the rights to access it; 7. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) –Allowing data to be sent to a server without also including an unpredictable token value that the server already knows would allow such an attack. A user could go from one website to another, malicious, one where the malicious one would send seemingly authenticated data without the knowledge of the user. Prevention of such an attack is easy. Just set an unpredictable token in the session and have the form submit it as another field. Clear the token on form submission so each new submission has a unique value; 8. Sensitive Data Exposure – One of the more difficult exploits, it typically occurs when the developer uses no data encryption, or weak data encryption, or weak keys and/or weak encryption and hashing algorithms. As technology advances, hashing and encryption algorithms should be used and kept updated to the latest versions; 9. Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards – An attacker can trick a user into clicking on a link that contains an unvalidated parameter, which allows a redirect to a page with higher administrative privileges. Prevention can be not using redirects/forwards; if redirects/forwards are used, then validate the redirect parameters and ensure the user has the appropriate privileges to access the redirected/forwarded page; 10. Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities – Developers may not check to see if components, such as plugins, have known vulnerabilities before using them in a web application. As vulnerabilities are commonly widely published as a means to inform developers, attackers can use the same published data to create attack vectors for web applications. Prevention includes checking public information to see if any components of the web application are vulnerable; Create security tests for the components that scan for common vulnerabilities; Add an abstraction layer to the component to restrict what data can be input and output by it.

Technical Careers in the Maritime Industry – An Overview

WordPress is one of the most popular development platforms when a developer needs to get a website going quickly. The flexibility that it allows through the use of hooks and filters, and the relatively short learning curve when compared to similar platforms like Drupal, makes WordPress the multi-tool of website platforms, particularly for developers just getting started. But when is enough, enough; when does WordPress run out of legs?

One of the biggest problems with WordPress is that when you activate more than about 25-plugins, performance takes a hit and it usually requires hiring an extra person to fill the roll of server administrator who is skilled in increasing performance not on the application layer where the problem resides, but on the server or even routing layer. As your new professional server admin (~$100,000/year) now decides to add a load balancer ($20/month; Linode), increase the number of back-end PHP server nodes (between $5 and $80/server/month; Linode), and breaks the database off onto its own server (between $60 and $960/server/month; Linode), the real cost of using the open-source WordPress platform as a multi-tool comes into view.

Performance: isn’t there a plugin for that? There are, in fact, numerous plugins that flaunt a veil of solving all of your performance problems, but we know that mitigating performance issues from the application layer, where said performance issues are caused by other plugins on the application layer, is just adding more performance problems than what we started with. If your server ran out of memory because it’s serving too many concurrent requests, then adding another plugin on the application layer that requires the same server resources to function isn’t going to help. How can we solve performance issues on the application layer when we depend on the plugin and platform developer for changes?

We can decide to take over control of the plugin ourselves, thus removing the capability for easy plugin updating as our version of the plugin will not be the same as the original author’s (Requires a dedicated developer (~$80,000/year and maybe a designer ~$52,000/year)); 

We can lobby the plugin author, or even try to contribute to the project, in order to make performance-based changes (Requires time ($$$) and/or a developer, ~$80,000 /year); 

We can spend time looking for a similar plugin that maybe has better performance metrics (Requires time ($) with no guarantee of a better result);

Time is money and one of the leading reasons why we choose WordPress as a development platform is because we believe the illusion that we’re getting something for next to nothing. Experienced developers and designers can setup a WordPress site in under 15-minutes and probably have the full application with theme completed in under 10-days, without considering the fact that we will end up paying for this decision in the future, not just from a performance perspective. When the plugin author decides to make changes which will break other plugins that depend on one major one (read: the notorious WooCommerce), we may pay most dearly from the loss of revenue and a bruised brand from a broken website. WordPress isn’t all bad, particularly if you find a development firm who really understands how to include functionality without sacrificing performance and that can serve a WordPress application efficiently, but it will save us a lot of time and headache if we take a step back and think about if there is another platform that will be a better fit for our needs rather than just automatically accepting WordPress as the solution to every problem.
