Java Keytool commands that are related to generating key pairs and certificates and importing certificates. Use this method if you want to use HTTP (HTTP over TLS) to secure your Java application. …

From Wikipedia ‘In computer programming, Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data (more specifically, a sequence of 8-bit bytes) in sequences of 24 bits that can be represented by four 6-bit Base64 digits.’ Don’t confuse encoding/decoding (ASCII, Unicode, URLEncoding, Base64) with encyrption(AES, RSA, Blowfish) and…

How to create a secured GitLab CI/CD pipeline? This is the right place for you. — While working on my current project, I was facing some issues regarding GitLab CI/CD values which were getting exposed in the pipeline logs. I was looking for a solution and found that it can be achieved with the variable “masked” option. I wanted to mask a server key but it…

The author gives us a prompt expressing how many ways there are to encode and decode information: Taking the title as a hint, we can get a very good idea of how this is encoded. 2 to the 6th power is . . . drum roll . . . 64! I wonder if this is Base64? Let’s toss it into CyberChef and find out:

Sometimes you need to get base64 encoded string inside Postman. Or decode a base64 encoded string. I think two easy ways are: const base64encoded = btoa('stringToEncode'); // c3RyaW5nVG9FbmNvZGU= const decoded = atob(base64encoded); // stringToEncode Another way to encode might be: Buffer.from('stringToEncode').toString('base64'); // c3RyaW5nVG9FbmNvZGU=

To find out if a text string is base 64 encoded, you can easily take advantage the below API solution (for free). Just copy and paste from the ready-to-run Python code examples provided below, and you’ll be able to make API calls with zero hassle. To install the Python SDK…
