How does ASP.NET Core manage to be more than 20x faster than ASP.NET? A large part of it is thanks to the brand new cross-platform .NET web server "Kestrel", based on libuv.
In this talk, Damian and David from the ASP.NET team will talk about the challenges faced in trying to build a truly fast web server in .NET.
Modern native & mobile applications have requirements like authenticating a user and securely accessing APIs on behalf of that user. Since those application types have access to advanced platform and OS features like cryptography and secure storage we can enable advanced features like mobile single sign-on, seamless token lifetime management and other advanced security features. The OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 hybrid flow alongside some new specification like PKCE and PoP are a perfect match for these scenarios.
Isn’t technology just awesome? Well we think it’s awesome and then a year or two later it’s old junk that for most of us, serves no further useful purposes. The technology of yesterday is rapidly becoming unrecognisable not just in the sense that it’s so different to what we use today, but a whole generation has literally never even seen a cassette tape or a rotary dial phone before.
Looked at the other way, our present day technology was inconceivable such a short time ago. What we take for granted today was little more than a pipedream yesterday yet our lives would be unrecognisable without them. Our children could not conceive of a time without mobile phones or internet; there are adults today that have not known this time!
This talk delves into how technology is changing around us from the essential to the absurd. Technology we put in our homes, technology we carry, technology we insert inside ourselves and all of it headed for rapid obsoletion as the next inconceivable wave takes hold. As much as yesterday’s technology is dead, today’s is on life support and we’d better get ready for the next big thing.
What motivates attackers to dump data publicly? How is it sold, traded and redistributed and for that matter, what even causes adversaries to go public with it? These are all questions I’ve dealt with over the years running the ethical data breach search service “Have I been pwned”. It’s also given me the opportunity to interact with everyone from the attackers breaching these systems to the impacted organisations to law enforcement agencies.
In this talk, I’ll share the lessons learned from working with more than a quarter of a billion publicly dumped records as a result of major data breaches. The talk sheds light on how this class of adversary operates and the weaknesses within organisations they continually manage to exploit. It’s a unique inside look at security from a very real world and very actionable perspective.
To some extent, optimization is to our industry what sexual intercourse is to teenagers. There's a veil of awesomeness surrounding it; everybody thinks it's cool, has an opinion about it, and talks about it a great deal; yet in spite of ample folklore, few get to do it meaningfully or at all.
Improving the ordeals of teenage years being too daunting a project, the next best thing to do is teaching how to write fast code. So Andrei setout to write a book about it.
This talk is a sneak preview into some of the book's material.
