project
This two-part series demonstrates how to create a browser-based
time-tracking tool that professionals can use to record the time they spend on
customer projects. It uses IBM Cloud services to host the application and its
data, and the Slim PHP micro-framework for the application's business logic.
Part 2 explains how to add the ability to record the time spent per project.
Here I show you how to retrieve and aggregate time entries to generate reports
of hours worked per project, both online and in a structured format suitable
for download and further processing. Finally, I walk you through the steps to
upload and deploy the application on IBM Cloud, so that it's online and always
available in the cloud.

| Learn how to bootstrap Hydra
The basic idea of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID is when a user wants to do
something with an application ("Application X"). Access to the application
requires access to an account of a company or business ("Service Z") that
would require authorization on the user's behalf. To allow authorization in a
good and secure way (without violating the users' trust to ask for the their
credentials directly), you can integrate something like Hydra into Service Z
so that Application X can make authorized requests on the users' behalf.

| Monitor network bandwidth usage and analyze network traffic in the IBM AIX server using
ProbeVue
This article helps users to monitor network bandwidth and analyze network traffic in
an IBM AIX server using ProbeVue. This provides users with a near real time view of what is
happening in their network for a user-specified time interval or when a user specified event
occurs. This takes very less time to diagnose certain network issues compared to traditional
tools such as IPTRACE and TCPDUMP. This is because ProbeVue provides only the data requested
by the user instead of providing the entire data, which requires a lot of time to analyze and
diagnose a specific problem.

| Validating CSRF vulnerabilities reported by automated scanners
This tutorial covers how to manually validate cross-site request forgery
(CSRF) vulnerabilities that can be reported by an automated security scanner,
such as IBM AppScan. Most automated scanners, including IBM AppScan, do not
accurately report CSRF vulnerabilities, as they are built on predefined rules
and cannot completely determine the legitimacy of certain types of
vulnerabilities like CSRF. To validate such issues, one needs to manually
reproduce the vulnerability and decide whether it is indeed true or a false
alarm. This tutorial is a step-by-step guide to reproduce and validate the
reported CSRF vulnerabilities by using a custom-made flow chart and also
provides guidance on using the open source tool "CSRF Tester" that provides a
rich functionality to validate such vulnerabilities.

| A developer's guide to complying with PCI DSS 3.2 Requirement 6
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a highly
prescriptive technical standard, which is aimed at the protection of debit and
credit card details, which is referred to within the payments industry as
cardholder data. The objective of the standard is to prevent payment card
fraud, by securing cardholder data within organizations that either accept
card payments, or are involved in the handling of cardholder data. PCI DSS
consists of 12 sections of requirements, and usually responsibility for
compliance rests with IT infrastructure support. PCI DSS requirement 6 alone
breaks down into 28 individual requirements, and sits squarely with software
developers who are involved in the development of applications that process,
store, and transmit cardholder data. This article aims to focus on all aspects
of requirement 6. PCI compliance heavily revolves around IT services. IT
focused compliance managers that are tasked with achieving compliance within
organizations, often lack the required software developer knowledge and
experience to help assure that the application development meets the arduous
requirements of PCI DSS. Follow along to read a developer's perspective to
complying with PCI DSS requirements.
