The rise of containerization has brought about a double-edged sword in terms of security and administration. On one hand, containers offer the convenience of isolating applications from system libraries and dependencies, making it easier to update and patch them without affecting the underlying system. However, this convenience comes with a significant cost - increased complexity, slower update cycles, and potential security risks. As someone who's seen firsthand the issues caused by containerization, I've come to dread the thought of having to keep multiple versions of shared libraries active in my systems. The proliferation of shadow package managers like npm and pip has only made things worse, with their complex dependency trees and rarely updated versions leading to a treasure trove of security vulnerabilities. In this article, I'll explore the dark side of containerization and why, as a seasoned administrator, I've chosen to avoid these containers at all costs. Join me as we delve into the world of Docker, Snap, Flatpack, and other package managers, and discover why they're not the silver bullet to security and administration that they claim to be.

You're about to discover a security snafu that's left me scratching my head - and my fingers on my keyboard. As an aspiring business customer at Conrad.de, I embarked on the registration process, but what happened next was nothing short of astonishing. It turns out that even I, with a randomly generated 27-character password (yes, you read that right), couldn't complete the registration due to a seemingly innocuous "maximum allowed length" constraint. I'm talking about a maximum length for passwords, a practice I've always assumed was a relic of the past. So, I did what any self-respecting cybersecurity enthusiast would do - I dug in and found out why this is still a thing. And trust me, you won't want to miss my exploration of this security mismatch.

If you're concerned about securing your website from user-uploaded content, think again! In our previous installment of the security series, we covered permission settings. Now it's time to tackle the challenges of displaying and serving user-submitted files. To do this safely, you'll need to create a separate upload directory for each user, filter uploaded files for malware, and limit public access to prevent malicious code from spreading. The consequences of not doing so can be catastrophic - from identity theft to terrorism financing. But don't worry, I've got some practical advice on how to implement these measures and keep your website secure. In this article, we'll explore the best practices for handling user-uploaded content, including server-side rendering engine disabling and client-side protections using Content Security Policy (CSP).
