First of all, what is “Cookie Hijacking”?
By Wikipedia, it’s an “exploitation of a valid computer session to gain unauthorized access to information or services in a computer system. In particular, it is used to refer to the theft of a magic cookie used to authenticate a user to a remote server”.
Which basically means, gaining access to an information system or a website without logging in, as the user that the cookie (or session) belongs to him.
Sometimes it is necessary to delete files that are older than 1 day, a week, or even a year. We just don’t need them anymore, maybe they are irrelevant, take up a lot of space on our hard drive or just a by-product of another process.

There are a few ways to get that done, and in this post, I’ll show you my preferable way.
This seems like a topic that has a lot of cover on the internet, and many sites have code snippets for connecting ESP8266 to WiFi networks, however, after using a lot of ESP8266 in my projects I want to recommend my own take on how to achieve this.
Handling resources, redirects and other operations is very easy and useful using the .htaccess file of Apache web server.
Sometimes, we want to block or redirect traffic based on its network IP address.
But what to do when %{REMOTE_ADDR} returns the wrong address? (more…)
This quick tip is for fixing conflicts with tabindex, which often occur when you’re using a content management system that has modules.

Being that popular has made this platform a target for many hackers. And even though it keeps updating and upgrading, over the years I found myself a victim of hostile takeovers.
In this article, I’ll discuss and demonstrate how to add two-step authentication as an extra level of security to your site or blog.
