ssl - Sense of secure cookie over HTTPS -

-

What does it mean to encrypt cookies (secure cookies) for HTTPS? As far as I know the complete request in HTTPS is encrypted, do we need additional encryption of cookies?

It relies entirely on your security model For some reasons you still have to encrypt the cookies Why is it needed:

  1. Do you care whether a user of your app receives the content of the cookie? In other words, do you store that thing internally and should not be told to the user?

  2. Do you care that the user tamper with the contents of the cookie? Depending on how you do it, encryption can be a way of obtaining loyalty protection. (Of course, there are other ways too.)

  3. What are the results of the disclosure of cookies? If it is a carrier token, whether it is encrypted or not, will not make much difference, but if there is valuable data in it, then an encrypted attacker may access the browser's stored cookies in some way (regardless of It's an attack on the actual system of attacks or browser hosting through the web). You can still defeat an attacker in other ways, but it can provide some protection in depth.

    The main thing to encrypt a cookie is that you are protecting the user from the cookie (or an attacker who can access that user's data) It is, if you need it.

-
After opening several examples of macro / code written, I suddenly get stuck with a code that seems safe. Solver (SOLVER.XLAM) is doing this notation and I would like to remove it from my system. I do not think this is a relativant code. Can anyone tell me what should I do? I have already installed something to remove the password but Solver is still asking for password and I can not get rid of it! itemprop = "text"> Solver Excel is add-in If you want to delete it, then Excel Application & gt; Options & gt; Add-ins & gt; Search for 'Go to' button and gt; Uncheck the solver on the list like press something (I can not give you the exact path because I have the Polish version of Excel). Trying to open Solver's VBA code is not good because it There is allegedly copyright. Besides, I do not think Solver creates any disadvantages while working with Excel or VBA.

github - Teamcity & Git - PR merge builds - anyway to get HEAD commit hash? -

-
I have a team city build project with Gitbab VCS route, I have been triggered for both / head on PR and / Merge the referee. The annoying thing is that you can not do anything useful with the merged hash - it is not present in Gitobb. I want to exclude newsgate packages with head in gutub comet situations in the version number along with Hewash (Newsaging 7) for the music build, but against head hash. However, I can not see a way to get the head hashes while constructing that merge. I just want to head because it's useless - we only care about merge. (PR - Pull Request) This command works reliably while running One on / merge is git log --no-merge -1 ---- = '% h'

I have a UITextView and I change a word like the code at the end of UITextView.text: - (void) Replace TexttechWitWord: (NSString *) word {NSString * currentTextViewText = self.textView.text; CurrentTextViewText = [currentTextViewText stringByReplacingCharactersInRange: NSMakeRange ([self.textView.text length] - [word length], [word length]) withString: word; Self.textView.text = currentTextViewText; } Replacement work is fine, but it runs very slowly and very slowly when the textView now lengthens Is there any better way? I try the replacement range: with text for a week but still stuck. Not to know how to use it to replace it in your case. Please guide! Thanks in advance! This is an important job. As you are using an irreversible string and you are creating a very long string and before Assigned to NSString created from.
