Enrico

Azure Application Insights has a specific language and syntax for select and filter data different from Structured Query Language (SQL). In this post, I am going to compare Analytics query language to SQL with examples for selection and filtration. First, navigate to analytics page of any Application Insights App by clicking Logs tab in the overview page of the app. Then, analytics tab opens a new editor window that you can type your query in it. Now, in the query editor we are going to write our queries using the…

Web Browsers still allow drive-by-downloads in 2020

Enrico

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. New research from ad security firm Confiant shows that secure contexts such as sandboxed iframes can be abused to allow drive-by-downloads…

Microsoft Open-Sources GW-BASIC

Enrico

When I read that Microsoft released open-sources GW-BASIC, I couldn’t resist to take a look at the code on GitHub. I spent my childhood to play with GW-BASIC and Clipper (do you remember that?)

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…

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. This can be used by network administrators to diagnose networking issues, see what types of programs are being used on a network, or even listen in on…

In this post I like to analyse how to return multiple output in Azure Functions with C# and Service Bus. If you want more info, in the last week or so, I published some posts about Azure Function in C# or F# like “Create Azure Function in C# Script and Service Bus” or “Creating Azure Function in F#“. You have a platform on Azure and two different services are triggered by a message from Service Bus. At some point, you have an Azure Function doing a procedure that has to…
