Internet Explorer 8 has introduced developers tools for inspecting and debugging web pages. It allows, for example, selecting a DOM element and investigating it, debugging JavaScript by stopping on errors or breakpoints and some other useful stuff. However, one thing was missing there: network traffic capturing and analysis. Traffic capturing is vital for analysis of your web site. Such tools usually show all the resources that are downloaded during a request, along with their response status...

I was planning updating my previous post , further explaining the “Padding Oracle” vulnerability, but have decided to write new post instead, explaining how you can minimize the chance of hacking. I think it will be more practical. A brief reminder: the vulnerability is based on the ability of the attacker to detect a decryption error when sending a modified request. In this post, I’ll work on a simple but typical application. I’ve seen hundreds of applications like that. The application uses...

Following the advisory, Scott Guthrie has published a blog post regarding this vulnerability, detailing an eligible workaround for preventing the exploit.

This is the message I’ve got while troubleshooting Windows 2008 R2 Server wireless LAN: Isn’t Windows Server meant to be a server operating system aimed for IT professionals, that are supposed to know how the Ethernet cable looks like?

I’ve just spent two days and a night between them on the client site, trying to solve a severe performance problem with the application, that Netwise (the company I work for) has developed. It is an ASP.NET web application, running on Windows 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5 on a 4-CPU/8G machine. We’ve fine-tuned every possible IIS and ASP.NET setting, defined data caching, output caching, profiled almost every line of the code, however, the application still ran very badly, even when tested with 50 concurrent...
