🚀 Disaster Recovery Solution Using AWS Backups 🌐
Tags: aws, cloud
Published: 2024-06-13 14:36:05

Recently, I implemented an innovative Disaster Recovery (DR) solution to support our Amazon RDS backups using the powerful tools provided by AWS. Here's a brief overview of the project:

🔹 Challenge: Ensure that our RDS database backups are securely and efficiently replicated across different AWS accounts and regions. The solution needed to be robust, automated, and capable of supporting our recovery needs in the event of catastrophic failures.

🔹 Solution: I developed an AWS Lambda function to automate the copying of recovery points from AWS Backup across regions and accounts. This function runs daily, ensuring that all recovery points created on the current day are replicated from the source vault to the destination vault in the region where our DR resources are located.

🔹 Technologies Used:

AWS Backup: To create and manage the recovery points.
Amazon RDS: The primary data source we are protecting.
AWS Lambda: To automate the recovery points copy process.
IAM Roles: To manage permissions and security between accounts and regions.
🔹 Benefits:

Resilience: Ensuring that data is securely stored in multiple regions, ready to be recovered in case of disaster.
Automation: Fully automated backup and recovery processes, reducing manual workload and the risk of human error.
Efficiency: Fast and secure data replication, minimizing recovery time.
This DR solution is a significant step towards protecting our critical data and maintaining business continuity. I am excited to continue exploring and implementing innovative solutions that enhance the resilience and security of our systems!

Unleashing the Beast: Why Your Brand Needs a Killer Logo
Tags: logodesign, graphicdesign, brandidentity, marketingtips
Published: 2024-06-13 13:42:12

Hey there, fellow entrepreneur! 🌟

Let's get straight to it—your brand deserves a logo that's more epic than a blockbuster movie trailer. 

If your logo doesn't make people stop scrolling and say, "Wow, that's cool!" then we've got some work to do. But don't worry, I'm here to help you unleash the beast within your brand (see what I did there?).

**Why a Killer Logo is a Must-Have**

1. First Impressions Matter: Imagine meeting someone new and they introduce themselves with a limp handshake and zero eye contact. Not a great start, right? Well, your logo is your brand's handshake. Make it firm, make it memorable, make it awesome.
2. Stand Out from the Herd: In a world where every brand is shouting for attention, a standout logo is like a megaphone for your identity. It helps you rise above the noise and get noticed. It's the difference between being another face in the crowd and being the life of the party.
3. Instant Recognition: Think about the golden arches of McDonald's or the swoosh of Nike. These logos are instantly recognizable. A great logo can do the same for you—making your brand memorable and easy to spot in the wild.
4. Builds Trust and Loyalty: A well-designed logo can convey professionalism and reliability. It says, "Hey, we've got our act together!" This builds trust with your audience and can turn casual visitors into loyal fans.

**How to Create a Logo that Roars**

1. Know Your Brand: Before you start sketching, get to know your brand's personality. Is it playful or serious? Modern or vintage? Understanding your brand’s vibe will guide the design process.
2. Simplicity is Key: A logo should be simple enough to be recognized at a glance. Think about Apple’s logo—it's just an apple (with a bite taken out), but it's iconic. Avoid clutter and keep it clean.
3. Color Power: Colors evoke emotions. Red can signify passion and energy, while blue can convey trust and calm. Choose colors that align with your brand’s message and audience.
4. Versatility Matters: Your logo will be plastered everywhere—websites, social media, business cards, maybe even on a billboard (dream big!). Make sure it looks great in all sizes and formats.

## Scroll Buckets

###Third persona style!

Ivorjetski (aka Ben Evans) was becoming increasingly aware that a lot of new CSS capabilities we being released and he had mainly been ignoring them 😬

He'd seen a lot of cool new demos using the new scroll features and thought it was about bloody time he tried something himself.    

Talking of cool new CSS scroll demos, you can't much better than this one, by Adam Kuhn 😍

{% codepen https://codepen.io/cobra_winfrey/pen/oNOMRav  %}

Anyway... Ben ain't go no time for doing something quite that amazing! He was far too busy procrastinating over how to put off making a game of Snake with CSS. 
So instead, he came up with the idea of seeing if he could retro-fit a scroll based animation into an older CSS art piece: [Pure CSS Playing Card - King of Hearts](https://codepen.io/ivorjetski/pen/ExaKmjw) - This used to animate on hover, but he was never happy with it, it was a bit jittery. So Ben thought he could fix it with a bit scroll based magic! Hogwarts style!📜🧙‍♂️

And... Oh my god! Animation-timeline is so simple and so powerful!! It was an absolute breeze! Actually a little disappointing, in a way... How can Ben have fun trying to create impossible things with CSS, if CSS is now this powerful and easy! This should be banned from Hogwarts! Banned and thrown straight into the scroll bucket! 🗑️

{% codepen https://codepen.io/ivorjetski/pen/VwOraXv %}

All the animations were already in place. Ben simply needed to remove the trigger by hover and replace the trigger with: `animation-timeline: scroll();` And that was pretty much that! - Apart from giving the page a bit of extra height and fixing the card in place, so it didn't move on scroll. Ben thought: "Where is the fun in that!" But he has to admit, it is quite fun and it works so well. He thinks he will be using this feature a lot more in future... Perhaps to make a [PlayDate](https://play.date/) style game, but using scroll, instead of the fun little crank.  

Oh and by-the-way, everything is CSS, including the card face, there is a video of Ben creating it: 

{% youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUfsozWywwM %}

There was also a little writeup on how it was made in [frontend.horse](https://frontend.horse/articles/realistic-art-with-css/)

Would be cool to know what you think?

What Learning Web Development Taught Me
Tags: webdev, beginners, css, html
Published: 2024-06-13 13:28:26

About 3 years ago I decided I needed a change. I didn't know what that change was but I felt I needed something different. 

As I searched within, I found myself drawn to the world of development. Maybe it was because I saw my friend coding or just because developers just looked like geniuses(and I wanted to be a genius.)

That world just seemed cool. And I thought, "what the heck? Let me try it out. if it isn't for me, well...I can't loose anything at this point."

And so the journey begun. I looked up books on web development and also where I could learn web development for free because... well, who doesn't like free things?

I settled on some few books and I also enrolled in a Coursera online class. The first lessons on HTML gave me hope and confidence as it looked easy to grasp. "This can't be hard right?"

Well, I got my hopes up too early and I was brought down to earth. I reached a point where I just couldn't get or understand anything. "What was happening? Am I going too fast?"

The deeper I went, the more challenging it became. It reached a point where I wanted to quite and pursue something else. 

But there was something about web development that kept me there. And I'm glad to say I stayed learning till I finished and got my certificate from Coursera.

The biggest thing I learnt, aside from web development of course, was the will to keep going despite the challenges. 
It is so easy to throw in the towel and give up. But pushing on and overcoming the challenges is so rewarding it is hard t explain.

I am so glad I continued this journey.
Authenticated SQL Injection
Published: 2024-06-13 13:21:28

Reward: $300
Program: Private

**Overview**
SQL injection (SQLi) is a vulnerability in which an application accepts input into an SQL statement and treats this input as part of the statement. Typically, SQLi allows a malicious attacker to view, modify or delete data that should not be able to be retrieved. An SQLi vulnerability was found for this host which allows an attacker to execute code and view data from the SQL service by submitting SQL queries.

An attacker could exploit this lack of input sanitization to exfiltrate database data and files, tamper with the data, or perform resource exhaustion. Depending on the database and how it is configured, an attacker could potentially remotely execute code on the server running the database.

**Business Impact**
Data exfiltration through a SQLi attack could lead to reputational damage or regulatory fines for the business due to an attacker’s unauthorized access to data. This could also result in reputational damage for the business through the impact to customers’ trust. The severity of the impact to the business is dependent on the sensitivity of the data being stored in, and transmitted by the application.
