• Programmatically deploy your GitHub Repo on Netlify
  3 projects | dev.to | 10 Jan 2024

  To create your connection between Netlify and GitHub you just need to go on netlify user settings and configure the connection with your GitHub account (grant access to all the repos to deploy further projects easily). After doing this, you can navigate to Github Application settings, click on configure, and copy the number appended at the end of the URL since that is your Installation ID. This process will be needed only once, and then you are set to go.

• Facebook hacker beat my 2FA, bricked my Oculus, and hit the company credit card

  That's an interesting concept.

  Thinking about it for a bit, I'm sadly hesitant that it might need to be built as a browser extension or mobile app, rather than a website, because none of these services provide programmatically-accessible (even read-only) feeds of what you're looking for, so you'd need to scrape everything. This brings up two issues: 1) the headache of IP ratelimiting (and/or flat-out IP bans from trigger-happy systems optimized for fighting fraud/bots hosted on cloud infrastructure). IIUC there are proxy services that you can outsource the workaround problem to, but this is awkward to get behind in the face of 2), which is that users would need to input their actual usernames and passwords so that the service could request the account page with the details on it in order to scrape the data.

  Given that these are broadly web services poked at via HTTPS, you could potentially get everything you needed from a browser extension (as long as the service doesn't require you to set any HTTP headers that extensions aren't allowed to touch).

  The second possibility is using an app. Writing a thin layer that lets you craft custom HTTPS/whatever requests from a WebView would probably be the most straightforward approach.

  The main issue with both the extension and app approaches is that they code-dump both the idea and methodology of "here is how to do X" into the hands of the IQ-99 skiddie group (especially with an extension). So now you have more people running around scraping pages and whatnot and trying to figure out how to weaponize everything. Probably won't go anywhere (in terms of producing actual attacks), but the noise may potentially make your life harder.

  The least-complex solution seems to just be a giant boring list of links, for example:

  - https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

  - https://twitter.com/settings/connected_apps, https://twitter.com/settings/connected_accounts

  - https://github.com/settings/apps/authorizations, https://github.com/settings/applications, https://github.com/settings/installations, https://github.com/settings/apps, https://github.com/settings/developers, https://github.com/settings/tokens

  Hmm, that's kind of all over the place for some things. A single aggregate view that combines everything could definitely be very interesting...

• Building GitHub Apps For Fun and Profit
  5 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2021

  Now you should have a private key, App ID (found at the top of your app settings page, https://github.com/settings/apps/yourappname), and Installation ID (via API or in post-install URL like https://github.com/settings/installations/1234567). You can use these to form API requests, either manually, via one of the Octokit libraries, or even as an action.

• First steps using Cloudflare Pages
  3 projects | dev.to | 1 Feb 2021

  Look for it later in your GitHub Settings to add more repos, or to revoke access.
