China’s influence is undoubtedly growing in the United Nations, with four of the 15 specialized agencies of the intergovernmental organization being led by Chinese nationals. Beijing seized the “absence” of the United States, accelerated by the Trump administration’s disdain for the U.N., to extend its tentacles to unexpected places. A plan to set up the first U.N. big data research institute is underway in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Officially, it would facilitate U.N. operations by amassing and analyzing huge amounts of data from around the world on sustainable development goals (SDGs) to tackle global issues such as starvation and climate change. One cause for concern is that Chinese researchers are expressing the need for data in order to analyze human behavior. The United States, which is wary of any data leaks to China, is raising alarms against the plan. In an October 7, 2020, article in , Hudson Institute fellow Claudia Rosett warned that the plan would enable China to collect data from U.N. member states and set the standards for data collection. “[T]he U.N. badge of legitimacy would make it easier for Beijing to secure flows of data from member states, influence U.N. standards and norms for such data collection, shape the results, feed them into the U.N. system — and project the Chinese Communist Party’s techno-tyranny around the world,” Rosett wrote. The seat of the Undersecretary-General for the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), which promotes the SDGs, has been occupied solely by Chinese nationals since 2007. Incumbent Liu Zhenmin is a former diplomat who has also served as Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs. Secretary-General of...
Hello friends! This tutorial will teach you how to build a local pentesting lab on your Linux machine which will enable you to easily install common web applications so you can practice locating and exploiting their known vulnerabilities (or discover new ones!). In particular, this is an excellent way to learn how to hack WordPress, Joomla, and Dupral plus many more! Basically it’s the same idea as building an intentionally vulnerable virtual machine to practice hacking against, except strictly focuses on the most common web applications. The set up is essentially the same for Windows, although the locations of the folders might be different. This is the only complete and accurate tutorial online that demonstrates: How to install XAMPP How to install WordPress locally on XAMPP How to fix pesky error warnings How to change themes without knowing ftp username/password Step 1: Download XAMPP Step 2: After downloading, navigate to your download folder and double click the XAMPP ‘installer.run’ file. This will install XAMPP onto your system. At the end of the installation, make sure the ‘run XAMPP now’ tick box is checked and click ‘finish’. Step 3: On your XAMPP interface, click ‘manage servers’ then click ‘start all’. Step 4: Now it’s time to download and install an old version of wordpress so I can practice exploiting it’s known vulnerabilities. Click the link below and download the version of wordpress you’d like to practice exploiting. In this tutorial, I am installing wordpress 3.1.3 Step 5: After Downloading, Extract the Zip File into /Opt/Lampp/Htdocs. Step 6: In your browser, navigate to ‘localhost/dashboard and click ‘phpMyAdmin’ in the menu bar...
In this article we will be building a very simple monitor that allows to observe some OS parameters, such as free memory available. In this article we will be using the NodeJS, Angular 4 and Chart.js, so ensure you have node and Angular studio IDE installed. To create our development server we will be using vagrant, so check here for instructions to install vagrant on your operating system. We will be creating two code repos, the first is a node application that will monitor the OS parameters and sends it via websocket to the second app which is an Angular 4 application, the Angular app will utilize Chart.js to represent the server status graphically. Server App Let’s create our server app, by running the following commands in our terminal We want our server to run Ubuntu 16.04, have a static IP address 192.168.50.4 and have NodeJS installed, so replace the content of Vagrantfile with and create a provisioning script named bootstrap.sh with the content In the script above, we first update the apt repository and then we install NodeJS from a private PPA, install build-essential which is required by some NodeJS modules and install forever which helps us keep a node script running forever. No we start the vagrant server with th command: Lets create a package.json file with the content below in our duneserver directory Our package.json contains 3 dependencies, os-monitor–a very simple monitor for the built-in os module in Node.js, nodemon–monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server – perfect for development, and socket.io–enables real-time bidirectional event-based communication. Let us create our...
Welcome to the first post in our series about Ruby on Rails Patterns and Anti-patterns. In each of the posts, we’ll take a deep dive into all sorts of patterns you might come across while working with Rails apps. Today, we’ll show what a (design) pattern is and then try to explain what an anti-pattern is as well. To better illustrate explanations, we will use the Ruby on Rails framework that has been around for quite some time. If Rails isn’t your cup of tea for some reason, hang on, the ideas (or patterns) described here might resonate with whatever technology you wind up using. But before we jump into explaining what patterns and anti-patterns are, how did we get to the point where we need them? Why do we need to have all these things for our software? Why do we need to design our solution? Yes, You Are a Designer Even from early computer programming days, people had to deal with the design of the programs they were writing. To write a program (or software) is to design a solution for a problem. When you write software, you are a designer—feel free to append that to your job title. Designing good solutions is important because the software we write will be read and/or edited by others. Also, the solutions we come up with will be built on by others in the future. Having all this in mind, generations of engineers started seeing similar designs in code and architecture throughout their careers. Folks started extracting and documenting standard solutions to problems. Some would say it’s a natural way...
In this article, we are going to explore the lifecycle methods of ReactJS. But, before moving ahead to React’s different lifecycle methods, we should understand what it is.As we know, everything in this world follows a cycle (say humans or trees). We are born, grow, and then die. Almost everything follows this cycle in its life, and React components do as well. Components are created (mounted on the DOM), grow by updating, and then die (unmount on DOM). This is referred to as a component lifecycle. There are different lifecycle methods that React provides at different phases of a component’s life. React automatically calls the responsible method according to the phase in which the component is. These methods give us better control over our component and we can manipulate them using these methods.At present, we know what lifecycle methods are and why they are important. So what are these different methods? Let’s have a look into them. Lifecycle Methods A component’s lifecycle is broadly classified into four parts: initialization mounting updating, and unmounting. Let’s discuss the different lifecycle methods that are available at these different phases (i.e., initialization, mounting, updating & unmounting). Initialization This is the phase in which the component is going to start its journey by setting up the state (see below) and the props. This is usually done inside the constructor method (see below to understand the initialization phase better). class Initialize extends React.Component { constructor(props) { // Calling the constructor of // Parent Class React.Component super(props); // initialization process this.state = { date : new Date(), clickedStatus: false }; } Mounting The name is self-explanatory....
