    Validate user input. Sounds simple and sensible until it gets forgotten.

    One of my old security teachers had a saying: treat everything you get from the client as toxic. Assume it’s false, malicious, and unsanitary until you can prove that it is not.

    seriously! It's like one of the first things you learn when developing web apps. It's an embarrassing oversight frankly.

    If you are a Facebook employee organizing collective action, do not use corporate laptops, phones, or apps! This includes Work Chat, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Communication between employees is not privileged. You signed this away in your employment contract.

    holy crap, that even applies to using personal devices on company property.

    which I guess isn't that significant right now but still.

    There are many things you can do to support a protest without the risk of the front line beyond just tweeting and donating money. Here’s a good start.

    I've been getting the weirdest Twitter ads today.
    Aaron Parecki
    Same, and some of them are from really suspicious looking Twitter accounts. I haven't clicked, but I'm wondering if the sites they promote are some sort of tracking network. Kinda want to dig into this now.

    I wrote an in-depth explanation of the "Sign In with Apple" Zero-Day that was revealed by a security researcher this weekend.

    The problem had nothing to do with OAuth or JWT, and you might be surprised at how simple the bug actually was.

  • Vegan Banana-Apple Bread

    Ingredients

    • 1 3/4 cup white flour
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves)
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 2 large ripe bananas
    • 1 apple, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond or soy)
    • 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
    • 2 tbsp canola oil
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • optional chopped nuts

    Instructions

    Whisk all the dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl.

    In a blender, add all the wet ingredients and the apple and banana. Blend until smooth.

    If you're adding nuts, chop them up using a food processor.

    Mix everything together in the large bowl.

    Drop the batter into a loaf pan, muffin pan, or donut pan.

    Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 10-15 more minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. It's better to over-bake than under-bake this.

    Cool completely before slicing.

    Note: if you don't have baking powder, you can make your own by mixing 1 tsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp baking soda in a small bowl first. Don't add this to the blender, mix it in when adding everything to the large bowl.

    If actual bad apples killed dozens of people, there would be a national recall of ALL apples.

    Someone unsubscribed from my newsletter and said to keep the politics out. Who did they think I am? Like lol, my newsletter isn’t about making beats or how to be Black around white people.

    .@YouTube needs to allow creators to ban specific advertisers and I will go to the mat for that. I have tried my hardest to ban all political advertisements and I fail and fail and fail. Advertisers can pick creators, but creators can't pick advertisers, and that's fucked.

    "The email address however, should only be toggled between the user’s real address or the generated proxy address."

    No, a user can have multiple "real addresses" in Apple world.
    Aaron Parecki
    That's true, I noticed I have multiple me.com addresses on my account when I was making the screenshots and forgot to update this text to match. Still, the point is the same.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
