Why We Forget Passwords — 5 Reasons and How to Stop It
The average person juggles over 100 passwords, so forgetting them is inevitable. Here’s the psychology behind why we forget passwords — and the modern tools that fix it for good.
Security Tutorials — Cybersecurity, Secure Coding and Application Security for Developers
Security is no longer a specialist concern — it is a core responsibility for every developer who writes code that touches real users and real data. The rise of sophisticated cyberattacks, AI-assisted threats and increasingly complex application architectures means that writing secure code from the start is far more important than patching vulnerabilities after the fact. Understanding security is not about becoming a penetration tester — it is about writing better, safer software every day.
MYCPLUS has been publishing security guides and secure coding resources since 2004, covering cybersecurity concepts, application security techniques and the programming practices that protect software from modern threats. With 12 focused articles spanning security fundamentals, secure coding patterns, AI and security, and practical threat awareness for developers — this section gives programmers the security foundation they need without requiring a dedicated security background.
You will find clear explanations of common security vulnerabilities, practical secure coding techniques you can apply immediately in C, C++ and web development projects, coverage of how AI is both creating new security capabilities and enabling new categories of threat, and honest guidance on building a security mindset that makes your code more resilient from the first line you write.
Security knowledge works best alongside broader software development best practices — together they form the foundation of professional, production-ready code. Browse our full Technology guides for the broader context of security within modern software development and emerging tech.
What You’ll Learn
- Cybersecurity fundamentals for developers — understanding the threat landscape, common attack vectors, security terminology and the security concepts every programmer needs to know to write safer software
- Secure coding practices — input validation, output encoding, avoiding buffer overflows in C and C++, SQL injection prevention, cross-site scripting defence and the practical coding habits that eliminate entire categories of vulnerability
- Application security — authentication and authorisation patterns, session management, secure API design, data encryption and the application-level security decisions that protect user data in production systems
- AI and security — how artificial intelligence is being used both to strengthen security defences and to power new categories of attack, and what developers need to know about building AI-assisted applications securely
- Network and system security awareness — understanding common network attacks, HTTPS and TLS fundamentals, certificate management and the network security concepts that inform how developers build and deploy applications safely
Security tools and code analysis — using static analysis tools, dependency vulnerability scanners and security-focused code review techniques to identify and resolve security issues before they reach production
Trusted by developers and programmers since 2004 — every security guide combines practical secure coding techniques, real-world threat awareness and actionable developer guidance designed to help programmers build safer applications from the ground up.
The Better Traits and Features of RASP Security
The other name for RASP is Runtime Application Self Protection. It is one of the most contemporary technicalities that help in protecting the running application in time. It can be compared to WAF perimetral approach and RAASP helps in protecting the applications from the interior. It refers that RASP has greater visibility in case of data flow and each input comes with the consequences to help the application receive with glee. Here is the post to describe the perfect working of RASP along with the set of necessary advantage. This will help compare the perimetral defenses and this can be leveraged by the main teams as part of the Software Development Lifecycle.
Enhancing Network Security with Dynamic ARP Inspection: A Comprehensive Overview
Dynamic ARP Inspection a security feature that helps mitigate attacks that use spoofed Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets. Dynamic ARP inspection works by verifying that all ARP traffic on a network is valid. Invalid ARP packets are dropped, which helps protect your network from attacks that use forged or spoofed source IP addresses.
TrueCrypt Free Open Source Encryption Software
TrueEncrypt is a free open Source Encryption Software written in C++ programming language. If you haven’t used TrueCrypt before but need to protect confidential information and documents then I can totally propose to use this Free Software. The latest version has the ability to encrypt the whole drive on windows operating system. So without the password (which you set to encrypt the drive), you can not run your windows operating system.
Web Applications Security
At my present job I am responsible for web applications administration and security. I lead automation team in all implementation aspects, including project management, process analysis, workflow design, configuration data set-up, systems interface development, system installation, testing, training, go-live, and post-implementation monitoring. One of the major challenges in web applications domain is web development security.
How To Prepare For PCI DSS Compliance Assessment?
One of the primary regulatory standards that merchants should abide by is the PCI DSS. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements that cater towards protecting consumers and their data as they make transactions using their cards.
