  • Unbreakable password storage
    2 projects | dev.to | 1 Apr 2025
    Application Secret – is an additional secret (peppering) used alongside a password at the application level. If password hashes are leaked, attackers will need not only the list of passwords but also the specific secret used by each user. Requirements: UUID v4 minimum, the secret is stored exclusively in the application configuration, not in the database (good example – HashiCorp Vault)

  • SSH port forwarding from within code
    3 projects | dev.to | 6 Jan 2025
    You should never store SSH key password directly in your code. I'll do it here purely for demonstration purposes, but in real life scenario I recommend storing and fetching it from remote vault. Just to have manageable "lockdown" procedure in case of security breach.

    Furthermore, Hashicorp Vaults source code is open source: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault as part of their believes in the Kerckhoffs's principle. This means they do not believe in security by obscurity. That is why they leverage Golang crypto and x/crypto libraries to handle the heavy lifting associated with encrypting and decrypting data.

    3 projects | dev.to | 9 Dec 2024
    I work as an IT consultant. Over the past two years, we've been working with our client on a platform engineering project, where the use of HashiCorp Vault for secrets management was prevalent. Our Vault has enabled us to manage hundreds of credentials, increasing the security of our developer platform, and has resulted in a thorough and battle-tested configuration of our Vault which we can be proud of.
  • The New Dev's Guide to Externalizing App Config

    7 projects | dev.to | 6 Nov 2024
    OpenTofu, (forked from Hashicorp Terraform), is a newer example along with OpenBao (forked from Hashicorp Vault). When HashiCorp changed the license for Terraform and Vault to the Business Source License (BSL), the community quickly responded by forking the project under the name OpenTofu & OpenBao. These forks aim to preserve the tool’s open nature and ensure that the developer community has a truly open source alternative to some of the industries widely adapted softwares.
