SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral

I am trying to test concurrent connections across a range of ports to check for concurrency network issues.
most tools im finding just do single client, single port checking, like the hw-group hercules.
apache was mentioned, rather not need to set that up.
windows server (2012).
any ideas?
thanks

Not sure what that means.
Networks are serial of course. They handle multiple requests, but serially.
Presumably "concurrent connections" means open sockets - perhaps because you are not sure that the server is keeping them open? Or perhaps because firewall(s) might be dropping requests if limits are exceeded?
If you are not sure which, then if it was me, I would want to check with the actual server rather than a general tool. Since the server application itself could be the problem rather than the network and/or firewalls.
Rather simple to write code to do database (relational) connection testing. Just open connection and do simple do nothing query in a loop. Then wrap that in a loop for multiple connections.
More difficult for modern usage besides database since it is usually ReST (http) because the connection closes after the request. Thus what you really need to do is identify a rest call that takes a while. And really if you cannot do that they you need to put a Rest call in place that does take a while. Perhaps having it do nothing but return ok and have a sleep for 5 seconds or so before it returns to the ok. I will note that you could write http code that would keep the connection open but that is not normal and as such seems suspect to test in the first place.
If you can't control the server then you are going to need to bombard it with requests and that could incorrectly report results for normal firewall rules put into place to prevent DNS attacks.
Any tool of any sort requires understanding, configuration and even some messing about to get it up and running correctly.
Also why a "range of ports". Servers do not typically support more than several ports and functionality and even rules are different. Certainly shouldn't be doing performance testing on an app unless you know what that app does.
Just a warning, 'port scanning' is something that network infrastructures will flag and anomalous behavior and if it was me I would not do that unless I had it in writing (actual paper) from a superior that that is what they wanted done. That can lead to civil and criminal penalties and you want to be protected.

Hello,
Posting this right here as I belive that this is a generic issue.
Right now if you do app development in most cases you are also code signing the app, using your favorite tool and a private key.
Since February, due to Microsoft adopting a new set of standards, issuers are obliged to deliver the digital certificates on hardware mediums aka USB tokens
Minimum Requirements for Code Signing
While this works great for physical servers, on cloud environments supporting a USB interface is not as practical, for example Amazon does not support it, thus making the below use case unfeasible.
Server receives a request for a particular client app, based on the request param's server changes the app's resources then code signs it, replying with the final result.
Any opinions on this are welcomed.

Not me. I figure if they have access to the server such that they can replace components then everything is already compromised. Not to mention that if they can do so in a useful manner then I would suspect an inside job as well (which the vast majority of breaches are anyways.)
Jb3void wrote: Server receives a request for a particular client app, based on the request param's server changes the app's resources then code signs it, replying with the final result.
Not sure I understand what that scenario is suggesting.
Code signing involves using a certificate when the code is built (part of the CM build process) to provide security when the application runs. It allows the application to verify resources that it loads, such as a library.
That is a limited scope solution. All that is required is that a local machine (not cloud) is using for the final step of the process before delivery.
Your statement above suggests you are doing something in the normal client message handling scheme. That would be outside the scope of what I laid out.
Now I can see that if you are using a cloud server to do your builds then that would appear to be a problem for normal code signing. But your description would not seem to jive with that.

You'll need some form of middleware (such as ActiveIdentity) that will provide certificates from an external token and make them accessible to network connections.
I'm afraid that I don't have experience with your particular use case, but I'm sure that if you follow up with the issuer or with AWS you will be able to get a product recommendation.

I registered an account here in codeproject in a hope that i can upload file, like an xml file below:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/1740717/update.xml
How can i have a file, such as .xml file uploaded to codeproject so that i can use it's 'hotlink' like above... i am a newbie
|
|
|
|
|
What happened when you tried to upload it?
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you Richard. My main problem is how to upload here in codeproject. I just want to make my own .xml file uploaded just like the link I previously posted. Im a newbie pls bear with me
|
|
|
|
|
Your main problem is that you have still not explained what you have tried, and what did not work.

I am rephrasing my problem...
I have an .xml file that i want to [save remotely, store remotely, host remotely... i don't know the real word for it]. I just want to imitate this one [the link itself, and not the content]:
"http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/1740717/update.xml"
Say i have a file myfile.xml and want to get a "link" that literally look like:
"http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/1234567/myfile.xml"
where here in codeproject i can do that?

Use the menu drop down at your username, near the top right of the frame, and select "My Uploads".

Ummm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought one needs pretty heavy privileges to be allowed uploads. You and I have, but OP hasn't, as far as I can tell from looking at profile/privileges.

You are probably correct. But quite frankly this is not a particularly difficult issue to resolve for anyone with a little gumption.

You'll need a webhost for that, which codeproject isn't.

Hi:
Do you have data about network usage ratio of your ISP channel (Kbps / Mbps / Gbps ) ? 
How many tables has your database (db) initially ?
What is the max length of your fields and how many fields are the largest table that belongs to your db ?

just follow this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub
they are saying " It offers all of the distributed version control and source code management "
what they try to mean distributed version control ?
if we upload a project to github then many people around the world can work on the same project.......that is why GitHub is called distributed version control ?
if yes then online TFS is also provide same functionality. if we upload a project to TFS then many people around the world can work on the same project but TFS never claim that it is distributed version control.
so please some one who understand distributed version control then please explian why GitHub is consider distributed version control.
thanks

I want to change hosting this website http://www.thequotes.net/ to cloud, How do I do that?

Which cloud are you doing to use? The answer would be vendor specific.
A WordPress website can be downloaded easily, Export — Support — WordPress.com, that would be enough. And then on the cloud vendor install WordPress and upload this website content there and you will be ready to use the web app on cloud. Almost every cloud has the WordPress add-on.
I used Azure, and Azure had a complete WordPress application setup to be used.
