In today’s world, cyber threats are everywhere — and they’re getting smarter every day. That’s where a Security Operations Center (SOC) comes in. Think of it as the central command room for defending against hackers, malware, and all kinds of digital trouble. If you’re working in cybersecurity (or planning to), having solid SOC skills is…
Ages ago, Firefox shipped “masonry layout” where you simply grid-template-rows: masonry; instead of defining specific rows in a grid or letting them auto-create. It wasn’t terribly powerful but it did the trick for a lot of use cases. There has been renewed interest in this the past year or so, where Google and Apple have…
Block quotes and pull quotes are useful for punctuating solid blocks of running text. They’re also two of the best typographic elements for acting as visual landmarks to catch someone’s eye. There are no rules about how long a quote should be, how big it should look, or even how it’s styled. So, how do…
In this section, we describe Network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)—the traditional approach to network security.We also introduce honeypots, providing a brief history of their development. Finally, we discuss the general advantages and disadvantages of honeypots in modern cybersecurity. 1.1 Network Intrusion Detection System The goal of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is to: “Identify, preferably…
Stephen and Chris hop on to talk about how we’re saving everyone from crashed browser tabs in CodePen’s 2.0 editor. One simple: while(true) { } Executing JavaScript can cause a browser tab to entirely lock up, preventing you from doing anything, like potentially saving your work.

Then, late last year, a conversation with Geoff Graham set me off thinking even deeper about theming websites. (If you don’t know that dude, he’s…

You don’t need to be a genius to get started—just the…
It’s such a small, simple thing, but I’m very grateful that we’re getting “Gap Decorations” in CSS. Microsoft is working on “gap decorations” and have put together a nice playground to explore them, and I had a play. The idea is drawing lines where gaps would be, rather than empty space. It’s really quite well done with lots of control…
When it comes to bug bounty hunting or red teaming, most folks start with the usual suspects — subdomain enumeration, port scanning, Shodan dorking… the list goes on. But let me let you in on a powerful, underrated gem in the recon game: GitHub Recon. Yep, GitHub is a goldmine. It’s where developers accidentally (and…
Chris & Rachel hop on the show to talk about the expanded privacy (access) model in the 2.0 editor (in Private Beta as we speak). Private Pens have always been a big deal, but as private as they are, if someone has the URL, they have the URL, and it doesn’t always feel very private….
