Web Browsers still allow drive-by-downloads in 2020
It’s 2020, and numerous browsers still allow drive-by-downloads from what is meant to be secure contexts such as sandboxed iframes. For those unfamiliar with the term, a drive-by-download is when a user visits a site, and a file download is initiated without the user’s interaction. This technique can be used to distribute unwanted software and malicious programs in the hopes that users will accidentally or mistakenly execute the downloads and get infected.

This means we will not be accepting PRs that modify the source in any way. A little historical context The GW-BASIC source code being published is dated Feb 10th…

There are a lot of new features (see this post) coming soon in Windows 10. Microsoft has quietly added a built-in network packet sniffer to the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, and it has gone unnoticed since its release. A packet sniffer, or network sniffer, is a program that monitors the network activity flowing over a computer down to an individual packet level.

A guide to remote development with Visual Studio Live Share
Working in a fully distributed, remote team requires sophisticated collaboration technology, which needs to be both supercharged and frictionless. Visual Studio Live Share was built on the bold principle of making remote developer collaboration as powerful and natural as in-person collaboration. We knew that our paradigm: “share your context, not your screen,” was only feasible, if we allowed the power of the modern IDE translate to remote collaboration sessions. Just then the world changed drastically and everyone was forced to be remote. It wasn’t just professional developers who needed Live Share; there were students, teachers, and interview candidates who needed a real-time collaboration service. So the Live…

A successful Git branching model
In this post I present the development model that I’ve introduced for some of my projects (both at work and private) about a year ago, and which has turned out to be very successful.
