What if you’re just working on a bug? Security Resources What’s the difference between CWE and OWASP? CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) is a community-developed list of common software and hardware weaknesses. It’s similar to OWASP, but older (1999 vs 2001) and more general – including non web apps and (more recently) hardware The infamous “NVD” database links CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) to CWE https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228 https://cwe.mitre.org/top25/archive/2023/2023_trends.html Tips Pre-warning – probably wouldn’t recommend installing this! Saw a cool Windows utility called “Windrecorder” that records video and text from your desktop, and lets you rewind and search. Uses ffmpeg to record screen into small 15-minute fragment files Search(by window titles, text keywords, or descriptions of images) Everything happens should only on your computer Cons: No instant rewind (have to be out of the window), Storage is unencrypted, Not much LLM / ML fancy stuff…and security https://tonoko.notion.site/I-made-an-open-source-app-to-rewind-search-everything-happened-on-your-screen-on-Windows-184d1a9d5edb494dba0c2f46d311ec5c https://github.com/yuka-friends/Windrecorder MacOS’s Spotlight is more powerful than you maybe knew https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/spotlight-secrets-15-ways-to-use-spotlight-on-your-mac/ https://beebom.com/spotlight-tips-tricks/ If you’re grep command isn’t working like you thought it should, you might be a victim of content getting kicked out of the buffer grep --line-buffered iOS – get text from images https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-live-text-iphcf0b71b0e/ios
