The problems and some security implications of websockets - Cross-site WebSockets Scripting (XSWS)

WebSockets - An Introduction

WebSockets is a modern HTML5 standard which makes communication between client and server a lot more simpler than ever. We are all familiar with the technology of sockets. Sockets have been fundamental to network communication for a long time but usually the communication over the browser has been restricted. The general restrictions

  • The server used to have a permanent listener while the client (aka browser) was not designated any fixed listener for a more long term connection. Hence, every communication was restricted to the client demanding and the server responding.
  • This meant that unless the client requested for a particular resource, the server was unable to push such a resource to the client.
  • This was detrimental since the client is then forced to check with the server at regular intervals. This meant a lot of libraries focused on optimizing asynchronous calls and identifying the response of asynchronous calls. Notably t
# config/routes.rb
resources :documents do
scope module: 'documents' do
resources :versions do
post :restore, on: :member
end
resource :lock
end

Screencapture and animated gifs

I say "animated gif" but in reality I think it's irresponsible to be serving "real" GIF files to people now. You should be serving gfy's, gifv's, webm, mp4s, whatever. They're a fraction of the filesize making it easier for you to deliver high fidelity, full color animation very quickly, especially on bad mobile connections. (But I suppose if you're just doing this for small audiences (like bug reporting), then LICEcap is a good solution).

Capturing (Easy)

  1. Launch quicktime player
  2. do Screen recording

JS hoisting by example

JavaScript function hoisting by example

Below are many examples of function hoisting behavior in JavaScript. Ones marked as works successfuly print 'hi!' without errors.

To play around with these examples (recommended) clone them with git and execute them with e.g. node a.js

Notes on hoisting

(I may be using incorrect terms below, please forgive me)

- Mission

The purpose of this tutorial is to mimic setting up a DigitalOcean/AWS EC2/Linode server. The main advantages of having a virtual machine is that you can learn without worry of breaking things.

The first lesson will be all about getting familiar with a headless machine and getting a language we all know and love (ruby). Then we can mess around and try things out purely in the terminal.

The only three good options for a text editor are: emacs, vi, and vim. We will be using vim but vi itself is great and comes by default on Ubuntu 12.04.

Now you can practice getting used to ssh'ing into headless machines, using terminal based text editors, and using a terminal based window/session manager (tmux). The reason we have to use vim and tmux is that there is no X environment in a headless machine (the GUI, graphics, pretty things, etc..). The main reason for this is to save space on precious costly SSD data.
