Is WCF Username Authentication without Transport Security a security risk? -

-

I am trying to use username protection in WCF. I am trying to figure out whether the transport None of the Credential Type / Anonymous will create a certain security risk.

My concern is with the initial exchange where binary data is created using the WS-Trust specification (TLS negotiation)

Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you. 

 
 
  & lt; Security mode = "message" & gt; & Lt; Transport Customer Credential Type = "None" /> & Lt; Message Customer Credential Type = "User Name" Conversation Service Credential = "True" AlgorithmSite = "Default" Install SecurityContact = "True" /> & Lt; / Safety & gt; According to the specs for security of the WS-username, the user name in the token can be both.

And passwords, unencrypted. It will be obvious that this information will be clearly transferred to unencrypted wire. Binary formatting is not preventive, usually referred to as "security by ambiguity" and security measures are not at all.

Coincidentally, while reading an article by Scott Hanselman I had received a lot of information, it indicates issues you are having

If you enable this feature If you intend, you definitely want to enable some transport-level security here.

Here are the Oasis documents on WS-Security UsernameToken. It appears to allow many scenarios, but I'm not sure what WCF uses by default:

If you are curious, you want to enable message logging And want to inspect the message to see what is being sent.

c# - ListView onScroll event -

-
I am programming a simple C # application, and I need a Scallow event on the list view. So I inherited the original ListView class created in ListviewEx witch. I found out how to locate the scroll message from WinAPI and I modified the WndProc method. Now I have this WndProc: protected override zero WndProc (Ref message message) {base.WndProc (Ref I); If (m.msg == WM_VSCROLL) {onScroll (This, New EventArgs ()); }} But the problem is, I do not know how to know about scrolling information. This data should be in wParam, but there is a LOWORD macro ++ like in C in C # and I switch to find the criteria like SB_ below, SB_ENDSCROLL, SB_PAGEUP etc. there any way Need to change the LOWORD macro from C #? Or any other way to find the necessary parameters about scrolling? You can define the WParam constants as the following: Private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x114; Private Constant WM_VSCROLL = 0x115; Private contact int SBHOZZ = 0; Private Consultant SB_VERT = 1; Private Con...

I am sending the content of an image in the body of the HTTP request (output stream) as a byte array, I want to read this stream of bytes in PHP scripts and take back an image.

Linux Terminal Problem with Non-Canonical Terminal I/O app -

-
I have a small app written in C to run on Linux. Part of the app accepts user-input from keyboard , And it uses non-canonical terminal mode so that it can respond to each keystroke. The section of the code that accepts input is a simple task that is called repeatedly in the loop: char get_input () {char C = 0; Int res = reading (input_tamille, & amp; c, 1); If (RSS == 0) 0 returns; If (res == -1) {/ * snip error handling * /} return c; } It reads a letter from the terminal if there is no input within a given time limit, (c_cc [VTIME] value in the vocabulary structure), read () 0 And get_input () is called again It all works very well, I have recently discovered that if you run this app in a terminal window, and then the app Close the terminal window without ending, the app will not exit Received, but CPU intensive launches into an infinite loop, where the read () returns 0 without waiting continued. So how can I get out of the apple if it runs from the terminal win...
