CORS & Same Origin Policy

CORS & Same Origin Policy 



The same-origin policy is a critical security mechanism that restricts how a document or script loaded from one origin can interact with a resource from another origin. It helps isolate potentially malicious documents, reducing possible attack vectors.

XMLHttpRequest   [ Asynchronous requests ]

——————————


Use XMLHttpRequest (XHR) objects to interact with servers. You can retrieve data from a URL without having to do a full page refresh. This enables a Web page to update just part of a page without disrupting what the user is doing. XMLHttpRequest is used heavily in AJAX programming.

Cors

———


Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a browser mechanism which enables controlled access to resources located outside of a given domain. It extends and adds flexibility to the same-origin policy (SOP). However, it also provides potential for cross-domain based attacks, if a website's CORS policy is poorly configured and implemented. CORS is not a protection against cross-origin attacks such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Electron JS Security Checklist

Electron Js Security Checklist Disable nodeIntegration for untrusted origins/Do-not Enable Node-Integration Risk  If enabled, nodeIntegration allows JavaScript to leverage Node.js primitives and modules. This could lead to full remote system compromise if you are rendering untrusted content. Auditing nodeIntegration and nodeIntegrationInWorker are boolean options that can be used to determine whether node integration is enabled.  Auditing For BrowserWindow, default is true. If the option is not present, or is set to true/1, nodeIntegration is enabled as in the following examples:  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ "webPreferences": { "nodeIntegration": true, “nodeIntegrationInWorker": 1 } });  Or simply:  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow() For webview tag, default is false.  When this attribute is present, the guest page in webview will have node integration: When sanbox is enabled (see below), nodeintegration is disabled. Please note that it is also possible to u

Threat Intelligence in Sagan Using Bro Intelligence Framework

Introduction Monitoring Network Traffic for malicious activities is one of the priorities for an network IDS, what if the network IDS can take in threat intelligence data to look out for malicious domains, Ip addresses, emails,file-hashes and so on, sagan has one such feature called Bro intelligence framework this write up  will give you an insight on how to install configure and use bro intel framework in sagan. I have been working with sagan for few months now, it has been really hard to put all the pieces together and you don't really find any perfect documentation or tutorials regarding sagan and its features at one place. Sagan is an open source real time log analysis and correlation engine that runs on Unix Operating Systems, sagan's rules are quite similar to SNORT. Sagan can record events to the snort unified 2 output format which allows it to be compatible with user interfaces such as Squil,Snorby,Graylog. Sagan has lot more capabilities than being a Log Anal
