    The best security videos are scary - nice work on this one! For those folks dealing with mobile apps, whether built with JavaScript or not, there are a bunch of other security considerations to keep an eye on. The point is that you're never truly safe. As long as you have something valuable that could be hacked, someone out there will keep trying. You have to dedicate the time and resource to always stay on top of your security, it's not a set-it-and-forget-it thing.

    The actual way to protect from ddos attacks is by blocking requests from ips that constantly send a bunch of requests, and then ask them to do a human verificiation. Scaling gets reeeeeeealy costly.

    • @arnoldas9730
      @arnoldas9730 Год назад +1

      So if you block ip, how would your server respond with human verification?

    • @BattyBest
      @BattyBest Год назад +11

      @@arnoldas9730 Blocking an IP is a server-side operation, and can be reverted immediately. What I am talking about is this:
      - Attacker sends a lot of requests
      - Server notices, and sends a verification
      - Verification is not received, any more packets from that ip are blocked
      - Another IP, this one not an attacker, sends a lot of requests
      - Server notices, and sends a verification
      - The new IP responds with verification
      - Server allows higher than normal requests temporarily
      - If this IP continually sends a large amount of packets, it may be throttled.

      Yeah, he definitely didn't quite go into it. But I guess the main point there was that scaling can be the needed solution if your service just cannot go down.
      You can set an upper bound on how high your services will scale. And of course, you should do other things as well and not just rely on scaling.

    You do a great job compressing so much knowledge in these short videos. In some cases a shortcut might be falsy though. You're not done with integrity because an intruder can't just manipulate data. You also must know if a manipulation took place in case of an breach otherwise the first point is... pointless.

      Google Cloud Armor and Cloudflare both serve as good protection against DDoS attacks, but also making your own web applications detect DDoS attacks and automatically deny is a (not that) decent way of protection as it'll at least reduce time spent processing requests since they're just rejected. Sure, it's not a 100% foolproof method, but you could cut the cost of the attack way down with this

    Is there any tips for hiding the API key when I use a API on a program I’m sharing with others. I’m on a forum where we share script and I sometime share my scripts. So how can I hide the API key I use? I know obfuscation can’t work as the obfuscation can get constant dumped.

    AWS only gave me a partial refunded of the extra ec2 charges when someone got a hold of my password that I found out was compromised in an Adobe Breach years ago.
    I didn't get hacked, I didn't lose the security of my aws key, but only got a partial refund :(
