Circumventing Deep Packet Inspection with Socat and rot13

I have a Linux virtual machine inside a customer's private network. For security, this VM is reachable only via VPN + Citrix + Windows + a Windows SSH client (eg PuTTY). I am tasked to ensure this Citrix design is secure, and users can not access their Linux VM's or other resources on the internal private network in any way outside of using Citrix.

The VM can access the internet. This task should be easy. The VM's internet gateway allows it to connect anywhere on the internet to TCP ports 80, 443, and 8090 only. Connecting to an internet bastion box on one of these ports works and I can send and receive clear text data using netcat. I plan to use good old SSH, listening on tcp/8090 on the bastion, with a reverse port forward configured to expose sshd on the VM to the public, to show their Citrix gateway can be circumvented.

Rejected by Deep Packet Inspection

I hit an immediate snag. The moment I try to establish an SSH or SSL connection over o

Testing Rails Applications

General

One size does not fit all. Testing strategies serve one purpose - to prevent and fix bugs earlier in the development process. While they can also document your code and provide other additional benefits - fixing and preventing bugs must be their number one goal. Whatever strategy fits your project, your team, and your code base - and fulfills that goal - is a good strategy. The core of any good Rails testing strategy is Better Specs and The Agile Test Pyramid.

Finally, tests must be written to be re-written. Business requirements will change. Code architecture will change. Variables will be renamed. Your tests should enable and embolden these changes, not prohibit and prevent them.

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

• Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

• Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying
