If you’re getting started in penetration testing, you might already be eyeing that first certification. But hold on a second – before you even think about getting certified, there’s one crucial step to tackle: build your own pentesting lab. Why? Because nothing beats real, hands-on experience. In fact, many cybersecurity pros will tell you their…
Our very own Stephen Shaw was on an episode of Web Dev Challenge on CodeTV: Build the Future of AI-Native UX in 4 Hours. I started watching this on my computer, but then moved to my living room couch to put it on the big screen. Because it deserves it! It honestly feels like “real”…
Focus trapping is a term that refers to managing focus within an element, such that focus always stays within it: If a user tries to tab out from the last element, we return focus to the first one. If the user tries to Shift + Tab out of the first element, we return focus back…
DevOps tooling has become mission-critical. What used to be a niche engineering function is now a core business driver. And with the DevOps automation market projected to hit $72.81 billion by 2032, your choice of tools can literally make or break your product velocity. Whether you’re a CTO at a scale-up, a DevOps engineer in…
In cybersecurity, a honeypot isn’t a jar of honey – it’s a decoy system designed to lure in attackers. It mimics a vulnerable server or service, appearing as a juicy target (like an open SSH or database) while actually being isolated and closely monitored. Any interaction with a honeypot is inherently suspicious, since no legitimate…
Pins are dead! Long live bookmarks! Pins was never a good name for the feature we have on CodePen where you can mark a Pen or Collection to more quickly jump back to it from anywhere on the site. The word is too similar to “Pen” that it’s just awkward, not to mention it’s not…
First, what is line length? Line length is the length of a container that holds a body of multi-line text. “Multi-line” is the key part here, because text becomes less readable if the beginning of a line of text is too far away from the end of the prior line of text. This causes users…
Ready to dive into pentesting? Forget the theory overload – the real learning happens in your own beginner pentesting lab. Think of it as your personal, safe hacking playground on your computer. As one guide bluntly puts it, “nothing beats real, hands-on experience” – so we’re skipping the fluff and getting straight to it. In…
Hi! We’re back! Weird right? It’s been over 2 years. We took a break after episode 400, not because we ran out of things to talk about, but because we were so focused on our CodePen 2.0 work, it got old not being able to discuss it yet. We’ll be talking plenty about that going forward. But…
Linear Search, also known as Sequential Search, operates by traversing through the dataset, element by element until the desired item is found or the algorithm reaches the end of the collection. Its simplicity and ease of implementation make it a go-to choice for small datasets and lists where items are added or removed frequently. While…
