Introduction️ Webpack is a module bundler for modern JavaScript applications. Its main function is to take modules with dependencies and generate static assets that represent those modules. Webpack can handle a variety of files and convert them into a single file or several files that are more efficient to serve in a web application.️ The source maps are files that map the compressed or transformed code (such as the one produced after compilation and minification with Webpack) to its original source code. These files are extremely useful for debugging, since they allow developers to see and work with the original code in the browser, even if the code actually running has been transformed.️ ...

Introduction️ A blind SQL injection is a type of SQL injection attack in which an attacker attempts to execute SQL commands on a database without receiving direct feedback about the results of queries. However, attackers can infer useful information by observing the application’s behavior or response time. In this case, the technique based on time will be used, although there is also one based on booleans.️ Here, the attacker introduces a SQL query that makes the database wait for a certain time before responding. If the application takes longer to respond, the attacker can infer that the injection was successful. For example, an attacker could try: ...

Introduction️ Firebase Firestore is a NoSQL cloud database provided by Google as part of the Firebase platform that allows developers to store, synchronize and query data in real-time for web, mobile and server applications. Data are organized into individual documents grouped into collections. Each document is a JSON data structure containing key-value pairs.️ Regarding the possible security issues that could be left unprotected by a project that uses Firebase Firestore, here are some points to consider: ...
