eBPF for TLS Traffic Tracing: Secure & Efficient Observability
Tracing TLS (Transport Layer Security) traffic is crucial for modern observability systems. It helps monitor encrypted communication, diagnose issues, and optimize application performance using insights from network traffic telemetry. However, traditional methods like TLS proxying and packet capturing often come with significant performance overheads and security risks. They are not always the ideal solution, particularly…

Tracing TLS Data with Ethical and Secure Practices
Network security professionals and observability applications have been trying to trace data in secure TLS connections since a very long time now. TLS( Transport Layer Security) is an encryption protocol that is used by servers are clients for encrypting the data that they share over a connection. Specifically, it uses symmetric encryption which creates a…

TestNG vs JUnit: Performance, Ease of Use, and Flexibility Compared
It’d be ideal if the software worked perfectly right from the start, but in reality, achieving such perfection demands thorough testing. This is where frameworks like TestNG and JUnit play a crucial, yet often underappreciated, role. Key Takeaway: JUnit is the standard for simple Java unit testing with strong IDE integration, while TestNG offers advanced…
