A common topic I would like to call out which I see in regards to security has to do with endpoints. I kind of want to call those endpoints “potentially vulnerable attack vectors”. I am a bit nervous writing “vulnerable” because the endpoints I mention here are secure, which is why I also called out […]

The implementations of forced tunneling I have seen have typically been configured using route tables. Where the route table is a matrix of IP addresses (see Figure 6) that instructs TCP […]
Read More →I started my learning of Azure Functions, I.e. Service-less computing by writing this .NET Core Console application which calls the following Azure Functions each with a different trigger type. I hosted the console application on GitHub here. You will need the .NET Core runtime installed on your work station to run the console app, check […]

(*) When you create an Azure Function App, a requirement to complete the operation is the selection or creation of an Azure Storage Account where the content (code, json, etc…), required to run the Azure Functions are to be stored. Make sure the Storage […]

The platform provides a starting point for the fruition of ideas, ideas only limited by ones imagination. With its dynamic nature and the flexibility it delivers to consumers, sometimes you just need a note to get your ideas optimally flowing […]

Here is what I wanted to do. Add some code like this to my ASP.NET application. using System.Diagnostics; … System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(“System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine() in the Page_Load method”); Trace.Write(“Trace.Write() in the Page_Load method”); System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceError(“System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceError() in the Page_Load method”); System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceWarning(“System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceWarning() in the Page_Load method”); System.Diagnostics.Trace .TraceInformation(“System.Diagnostics.Trace.TraceInformation() in the Page_Load method”); Then I wanted to write those logs out to […]
