Software developers and maintenance teams don’t always understand quality assurance and testing. Software testing misconceptions often lead to antagonistic relationships between the two groups: The former wants to get the project out the door as quickly as possible, but the latter often “slows down” the process with testing for issues and vulnerabilities. It’s time to […]

Nobody likes doing the same task over and over again. Unfortunately, every time your software updates its code, it’s necessary to perform automated regression testing. Since most software is written to contain multiple interlocking parts, changing one section means that other parts are affected as well. Regression testing is necessary to confirm that the new, […]

Cryptographic systems can be vulnerable to outside attacks beyond the well-known brute-force attacks. Cryptographic main weaknesses come in two forms: weaknesses within the algorithm itself and weaknesses with their implementation. To clarify, the latter are called side-channel attacks. Why are Cryptosystems Insecure? Cryptosystems typically rely on random number generation to ensure that algorithms can’t be […]

Scanning for web application vulnerabilities involves setting up a program that communicates with your system’s web application via the website’s front end. Next, this scanner program interacts with the back-end databases and other resources. Essentially, the goal of this program is to determine if there any vulnerabilities in the web application or architecture. Notably, identifying […]

Biometrics is a pretty straight-forward term: bio = life and metrics = measurement. Therefore, the definition of biometrics is simply the measurement of life. More specifically, biometric is the measurement of different biological components unique to each individual to confirm identity. Though the primary function of biometrics is identification and access control, some biometric technology […]

One of the things that keep coming up in load testing for website performance is the comparison of simulated versus real users. People tend to fixate on pure concurrency numbers (the quantity) without assessing things like user-profiles and throughput (the quality). It’s easy to crank up threads and feed search functionality a collection of values, […]

Caveats: The following analysis is based entirely on a brute force attack. Hackers cannot extrapolate information from this document to help them learn user passwords. iBeta does automated testing of the security of websites, especially for things like cross-site scripting (CSS), and cross-site request forgery (XSRF). However, our automated tool occasionally finds other problems not […]
