KeePass flaw allows retrieval of master password
DotNet offers the SecureString class to keep a string encrypted in Memory, but as long as the OS does not natively support this concept, the only advantage is that it resides in memory for a shorter time, the disadvantage is that SecureStrings are easier to search for.
- System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient is not recommended anymore; what is the alternative?
-
Bitwarden PINs can be brute-forced
Note the KeePass's resistance to the attack mentioned depends on the security of .NET's secure string, which, here's what Microsoft has to say about it (https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/D...)
As for KeePassXC, last I checked it didn't even bother.

Ever Find A Dead Man's Switch On A Network/Domain?
TIL. Looks like the deprecation note recommends MailKit.

Disabilities and Windows Passwords
Well of course, but it does have to be passed to the module that generates the hashes AD uses in the first place. And as I said, the standard password reset screen is bound to store the password in plain text somewhere as well.

Embedded logo in HTML email sent from PowerShell
This won’t help you with your question, but I figured I should warn against using send-mailmessage.

API pagination help?
Some of the reasons for not using Hashtable or other non-generic collection types are outlined here. That's why Microsoft doesn't recommend their usage in new implementations across all of its API documentation.

And if you really want to be secure you need to something better than a SecureString: https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/DE0001.md

Web Scraping With PowerShell
While this isn’t an in-depth tutorial, if you want to parse the HTML directly, you could combine Invoke-WebRequest with the PSParseHTML module or AngleSharp .NET libraries. With this, you can scrape data from web pages, not just the search results we provide.

Migration of a Dynamic Website to a Static Website
Instead, what I ended up doing is utilizing AngleSharp for transforming the existing (dynamic) websites into static files. I've stored them on disk and made them ready to be served statically.

What do .NET devs use for web scraping these days?

Powershell/HTML: Apply color to HTML table based on results
Personally, if that script I wrote did need to be used on Core I probably would have compiled AngleSharp, loaded the HTML Parser DLL into the script, and used that.

C# Web Scraper to check a sent Form
Now, assuming you have to scrape, C# does have two decent scraping libraries: AngleSharp and Html Agility Pack. I personally prefer AngleSharp.
-
Tell me your common tasks!
I would love a blog post or even a series of them about scraping local HTML files with either AngleSharp or HTMLAgilityPack.

How can I grab onto the html class name of a string that contains html, using c#?
If you want a cleaner and modern alternative to HtmlAgilityPack then I'd suggest https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp

What are some alternatives?
When comparing platform-compat and AngleSharp you can also consider the following projects:
ImportExcel - PowerShell module to import/export Excel spreadsheets, without Excel
HtmlAgilityPack - Html Agility Pack (HAP) is a free and open-source HTML parser written in C# to read/write DOM and supports plain XPATH or XSLT. It is a .NET code library that allows you to parse "out of the web" HTML files.
MailKit - A cross-platform .NET library for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.
CsQuery - CsQuery is a complete CSS selector engine, HTML parser, and jQuery port for C# and .NET 4.
envconsul - Launch a subprocess with environment variables using data from @HashiCorp Consul and Vault.
ExCSS - A CSS Parser for .NET. It's BADA55!
