Bezpieczeństwo - ciąg dalszy:

1. Kapitalny artykuł na temat zabezpieczenia SSL stron na IIS - http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/04/06/tip-trick-enabling-ssl-on-iis7-using-self-signed-certificates.aspx czytamy:

   A few last SSL related notes:

   • The IIS 7.0 admin tool has an "SSL Settings" node that you can select for each site, directory or file that allows you to control whether that particular resource (and by default its children) requires an SSL request in order to execute. This is useful for pages like a login.aspx page, where you want to guarantee that users can only enter their credentials when they are posting via an encrypted channel. If you configure the login.aspx page to require SSL, IIS 7.0 will block browsers from accessing it unless they are doing so over SSL.
   • Within an ASP.NET page or handler, you can programmatically check whether the current request is using SSL by checking the Request.IsSecure property (it will return "true" if the incoming browser request is over SSL).
   • You can set the "requireSSL" attribute on the <forms> configuration section within web.config files to have ASP.NET's forms-authentication system ensure that forms-authentication cookies are only set and used on SSL enabled pages and URLs. This avoids the risk of a hacker trying to intercept the authentication cookie on a non-SSL secured page, and then trying to use a "replay attack" from a different machine to impersonate a user.

Ciekaw strony:

1. SideJacking - b. niebezpieczne zagrożenie wytypowane w pierwszej 5 zagrożeń 2007. Witryny zwykle szyfrują dane poufne, ale wysyłają "session-id" danej sesji w jawnym tekscie. Trzeba dokładnie poznać "zakamarki" protokołu HTTP/HTTPs oraz narzędzia Wireshark oraz Mozilla cookie editor. Ten obiekt jest przesłany w:
   1. URL jako losowo wybrane dane
   2. jako HTTP cookie, ciasteczka są wysyłane za każdym razem do serwera(chyba, że są zaznaczone jako prywatne)

Hacker może podejrzeć session-id i uzyskać dostęp do konta i np. odczytać zawartość poczty .

1. Więcej na te tematy - http://blog.icir.org/2008/02/sidejacking-forced-sidejacking-and.html
2. Uwaga: ciasteczka mogą być zaznaczone jako secure ) GX - wtedy należy stosować SSL (wymuszony jest)

1. Things That Get People Excited (let's call them TTGPEs)
2. KISS
3. WIL (well I like it)
4. WMSDT (well Microsoft do that)
5. Duże ma też znaczenie też podejście "appeal to authority" (np Stefan and Mark Baker są autorytetami od REST)

6. Świetny serwer cytatów (np. Einsteina)
7. Serwer informacyjny - http://www.it-director.com/
   
8. Przy tworzeniu i projektowaniu oprogramowania należy pamiętać o F. Brooks. Czyta to się jak Biblię "wszyscy to znają i czytają ale nikt nie przestrzega...". Są też tam idee spowalniające projekt np. "syndrom drugiego systemu", "mityczne pojęcie człowieko-miesiąca" (nie sumuje się wydajność od zatrudnienia większej ilości osób), "zamiast używania wielu wyspec. narzędzi lepiej używać jednego ale z wieloma dodatkami" , "zespół naczelnego chirurga" (wykonuje on najtrudniejszą część operacji, resztę kończą jego pomocnicy)....
9. Super historia o Początkach technologii AJAX, która powstała w MS -Alex Hopmann
   
10. Bezpieczeństwo - AJAX (a w zasadzie XMLHttpRequest) podlega zasadzie "ograniczenie dostęp do zasobów tej samej domeny" (same origin policy). Można to łatwo obejść ponieważ dostęp do dwóch innych zasobów w przeglądarce nie podlegają tym restrykcją (polityce bezp.). Mowa oczywiście o skryptach i obrazkach. I tu tkwi główne niebezpieczeństwo protokołu HTTP. Z drugiej strony mamy rozproszoną architekturę korporacyjną SOA tzn. wywołanie zdalnych procedur (usług). Często do realizacji usług webowych (WS) wykorzystuje się SOAP, i to działa. Ale w przypadku przeglądarki i lekkiego klienta to jest za ciężkie. Dlatego w architekturze Web 2.0 stosuje się lekki protokół REST. Oferuje on przejrzysty model REST budowanie usług webwych w oparciu o specjalnie zdefiniowany adres do zasobów podawanych w adresie HTTP w zwykłej przeglądarce. Zasada działania REST opiera się o trzy reguły:
1. Usługa REST wyraża się poprzez URL np. jako adres - http://bea.com/content/getArticles?author=joe
2. Trzeba podać operację (poprzez żądanie HTTP):
1. GET odczyt,
2. POST zapis,
3. PUT aktualizacja
4. DELETE usunięcie
   
3. Zwracane są dane w formacie XML / JSON
11. REST ma operacje takie same jak DML w standardzie SQL czyli jest to kolejny dowód na pożyteczność takiego podejścia

2. http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2007/02/introduction-json.html
13. Inny problem - dostęp do bazy danych w językach programowania. Nowoczesne języki obiektowe (a nawet dynamiczne jak Python) wymagają ścisłego typowania danych. Powoduje to problemy przy dostępie do danych w bazach relacyjnych i przesyłania ich do pól w językach programowania. Najczęściej wymagane jest mapowanie. I tutaj pojawiają się problemy jakimi narzedziami to opisać. Wyróżniamy generalnie dwa sposoby:
    
1. Natywny
1. zaszłościowy:
1. przykładowo jak języki 4GL np. Informix 4GL (pożyteczne jest w nim odwzorowanie klasycznego problemu ORM z którym borykają się języki obiektowe np. Java czy C# struktur danych w rekordzie z bazy czy tabeli w pola i struktury w programie - DEFINE ... LIKE)
2. VFP bardzo nowocześnie, dodatkowo istnieją funkcje do przejścia z bazy to XML (CURSORTOXML) i na odwrót (XMLTOCURSOR)
2. nowoczesny poprzez ORM - Java Hibernate
3. nowocześniejszy - poprzez LINQ w C# (wady: działa z natwynym MS SQL Serverem i brak mu automatu do adnotacji/translacji klas - trzeba to robić zewnętzrnym 'sqlmetal' na piechotę)
   
2. Inny - np. obudowanie w specjalny wrapper składnie języka SQL jak to ma miejsce w dostępie ADO (ASP) czy ADODB (PHP), ale dane wysyłane i odbierane jako tekst, są też problemy z danymi binarnymi np. pochodzącymi z BLOB-ów.
