WEB

Hi All,

Recently my Colleque Tobias Asböck made me aware of the HTTP Security Headers.

You can test the Security Headers with the Online Scan from Scott Helme.

Ouch - that did not look good for my Website hosted on Azure App Service.

So how do i add these Headers?

It’s in the web.config File of the Project right afer the system.web configuration

  <system.webServer>
    <security>
      <requestFiltering removeServerHeader="true" /> <!-- Removes Server header in IIS10 or later and also in Azure Web Apps -->
    </security>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <clear /> <!-- Gets rid of the other unwanted headers -->
        <add name="strict-transport-security" value="max-age=10886400; includeSubDomains; preload" />
        <add name="referrer-policy" value="same-origin" />
        <add name="X-Frame-Options" value="SAMEORIGIN" />
        <add name="X-Xss-Protection" value="1; mode=block" />
        <add name="X-Content-Type-Options" value="nosniff" />
        <add name="permissions-policy" value="geolocation=*" />
      </customHeaders>
      <redirectHeaders>
        <clear />
      </redirectHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
    </system.webServer>

Hi All,

Do you know Microsoft Designer?

The Microsoft Designer app is a graphic design tool in Microsoft 365 that allows users to create custom invitations, digital postcards, and other materials using the same artificial intelligence technology as DALL-E 2.

More information can be found here: What Is Microsoft Designer and How To Use It

I am using currently my Microsoft Account (Private Account) to log into Microsoft Designer.

It’s a free “Text to Image” Artificial Intelligence System that is based on DALL-E 2

My question was: What’s a fine dining restaurant in bern?

And the Answers are pretty good in my opinion.

Hi All,

A year ago, Apple, Google and Microsoft Commit to Expanded Support for FIDO Standard to Accelerate Availability of Passwordless Sign-Ins.

Read more about the Passkey on the Website from FIDO Alliance

What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are a password replacement that provide faster, easier, and more secure sign-ins to websites and apps across a user’s devices. Unlike passwords, passkeys are resistant to phishing, are always strong, and are designed so that there are no shared secrets.

Hi All,

Last week the local Power Company EWBhas installed Smart Meters at my building.

Smart Meter: Intelligente Messsysteme für eine nachhaltige Energiezukunft. https://ewb.ch/smartmeter

I had to signup to the customerportal first, before the Smartmeter did collect the Data - or at least show it in the Portal

EWB KUNDENPORTAL https://kundenportal.ewb.ch/

Now i can see my daily or hourly power consumption. This helps to see what actions did consume a lot of power (like cooking, Microwave etc).

Hi All,

Switch the Swiss Registrar for .ch and .li Domains has published the Domains on a Open Data Policy.

You can download the top 1'000 Domains or use a Zone Transfer

• [Switch Open Data]](https://www.switch.ch/open-data/#tab-c5442a19-67cf-11e8-9cf6-5254009dc73c-3)

You need to create the TSIG Key

# filename ch_zonedata.key
key tsig-zonedata-ch-public-21-01 {
	algorithm hmac-sha512;
	secret "stZwEGApYumtXkh73qMLPqfbIDozWKZLkqRvcjKSpRnsor6A6MxixRL6C2HeSVBQNfMW4wer+qjS0ZSfiWiJ3Q=="; 
};

then use dig to initiate the Zone Transfer

dig -k ch_zonedata.key @zonedata.switch.ch +noall +answer +noidnout +onesoa AXFR ch. > ch.txt

Looks like this
