A Video Lending System (Throwback)

This Video Lending System (Flixstore) was developed by a group of 4 members for the subject module Software Technology II in Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, in the 2nd Year 1st Semester, in 2016.


This was fully developed in Java and backed by MySQL as the Database and iReport for generating various reports for the desktop application.


We developed this with very less knowledge in OOP Concepts and Layered Architecture. We learned them day by day and improved as much and applied as much of the concepts as we could and as suited. I was the group leader and was assigned to develop several modules for the application including the Administrative system of the application, Login and such.

Robotic Process Automation a.k.a RPA

Image
Robotic Process Automation also known as RPA in the community is a new Technology on the rise, which uses so called "Bots" to get mundane (or sometimes heavy logical) tasks done, (with) or without any Human Intervention.  Many industry giants are on the verge of breakthrough and some have already achieved the targeted technology namely Accello (by Virtusa Polaris), Blue Prism and Accenture. Software Robots  A software 'robot' is a software application that replicates the actions of a human being interacting with the user interface of a computer system. For example, the execution of data entry into a SAP system - or indeed a full end-to-end business process - would be a typical activity for a software robot. The software robot operates on the  user interface  (UI) in the same way that a human would; this is a significant departure from traditional forms of IT integration which have historically been based on  Application Programming Interfaces  (

Threats to Information Security and What the Hash you could do about it

http://www.mfbzone.com/img/my%20pages/information.png What are Hash Functions? A cryptographic hash functions is a mathematical formula that helps you convert a given value to another value that is of a fixed length and is irreversible. The result is much smaller than that of the original input to the function and are comparatively faster (unlike in using cipher techniques). A good hash function will never result give the same result for two distinct inputs; even if a bit is changed the whole hash value changes (avalanche effect). I mentioned that hash functions are faster compared to ciphers. But they shouldn't be able to compute too quickly either, which may result in the function being labeled as brittle. These attributes of hash functions allows them to be used in multitude of real-world use cases like, Integrity protection in messages and software  Hashing the certificate in HTTPS Digital signature Creating database indexes https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/hashi

What the Hash. A Simple Guide to Hashing

Image
What is Hashing Hashing, plainly put is using hardcore mathematics to increase security on some "message". Hashing is a procedure that takes a variable length value as input and spits out a fixed length hashed value as output, also known as a hash, digest or thumbprint depending on the scenario the hashing is used in. This procedure is irreversible in a more general sense, but we can use some special procedures to understand the input value (more on that later). And most importantly, no two different inputs can produce the same output. The image below gives you a quick look at what I just blabbered. Why Hashing Now let's look at a practical example. Imagine a user registration and login scenario.  User enters his/her new credentials and clicks register which posts this username and password to the server. Server grabs the password and sends it through a hash function ( SHA256 in this case) and gets the hashed password in return. Server then stores th
