Azure App Service support now vulnerability scanning

A new great feature is available for Azure App starting from today. How nice would be if you could scan your Azure App to check if you have any kind of security issues.
For example if you develop a web application, it would be nice to be able to scan your application and check if there are any kind of security vulnerabilities.
Until now, this could be made with external partners, not directly from Azure Portal. Starting from now we can do this using Tinfoil Security. You can activate this service directly from Azure Portal. This service is offered using the Marketplace.
There are different tires, that allow you to check your site from one time per week (for 3$/month), and you can scan even twice per day for 500$/month. This feature go hand in hand with if you are using different deployments slots for your web applications. You can scan for integration or pre-production environment for security vulnerabilities before releasing a new version or a hot fix.
In this way, the development team can have a real time feedback, in a very short period of time.

There are a lot of vulnerabilities that are checked by Tinfoil automatically, like Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS).
I invite you to try this new feature.
Also, another benefits of this partnership is also the way how you buy this products - "SaaS". You
pay a monthly subscription. When you don't need anymore this service, you can unsubscribe from this service.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded.

On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage. But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
