Why are so many people just diving, straight into the code? A minimum of requirements and design? Perhaps a threat Model?

Software Engineering Security Culture

We need to fix the culture, from top to bottom in the software engineering industry. Here are just some of the issues as I see them and what we should be doing about them.

Coming soon to a bookshelf near you, Threat Modeling Gameplay with EoP: A reference manual for spotting threats in software architecture

Threat Modeling Remotely with Miro and EoP

Threat modeling with teams is a process that requires visuals, interaction between team members and discussion and so lends itself to everyone being in a room together. This has been quite hard the last two years. It also doesn’t look to be getting any easier, so we should probably get used to it. Here’s how I’ve been doing it with several teams.

CAPEC-STRIDE Mapping

Mapping between the Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC) from Mitre and the S.T.R.I.D.E. Categories used in Threat Modeling.

Python3 Notes

This is just a collection of notes I’ve made over a period of time to remind me of certain commands or syntax. I will continue adding to this over time. I’m also going to add my Natural Language Processing notes and Machine Learning Notes in a couple of other articles.
