DevSec

"DevSec", "DevSecOps", "SecDevOps"... lots of buzzwords, but here the idea is to aggregate all things related to a secure development & operations (always from the DEV perspective).

Welcome to the page where you will find all security related topics/tools/techniques made by developers for developers concerned about security.

This page is intended as an always updated source for devs, inspired in the work of "HackTricks", to serve as a reference for a secure development and related operations. Lots of references/resources in this page are extracted from other public sources, all credit to the original authors (that will be referenced as sources).

🚧 Please note that this is now under heavy development so expect some sections to have little/no content 🚧

Introduction

You may heard about DevSecOps, the shifting left concept and GitOps...[1] They all share a lot of principles, reduce the time devs spend on security while achieving their objectives.

With DevOps, we shifted to make developers more accountable for operational topics and issues (joining the responsability of development and operations). Here the same mindset is meant to be done with Security in DevSecOps.

In lots of products or projects we are already shifting left a lot of controls earlier in the development lifecycle, where the development teams are (such as testing)... So why not including security testing to an earlier step? We could make fewer mistakes, and we can move more quickly (quickly addressing newly discovered vulnerabilities and fixing them).

The overall aim is to create a culture where everyone is responsible for security, reducing the risk of security issues and allowing teams to deliver secure, high-quality software more quickly.

This is a process change, it's not about a single/specific tool or controls. It's about making all of security more developer-centric.

Digital preservation

Due to the large amount of information and external links that could be stored in this "book", there is a daily process based in GitHub Actions (see the action) that archives in the Internet Archive all pages with the external links too.

This process allows us to always make available these pages and every referenced page in them, accesible and navigable at any time with multiple "versions" or snapshots.

So do not worry if a link goes down, a blog post gets deleted, some repository is made private or not available any more, we have all covered.

If you find yourself in that situation you can access the page by entering the following URL in your browser:

https://web.archive.org/{URL}

Where {URL} is the raw URL you are trying to access.

You can also use the Wayback Machine UI directly.

Please, if you find these functionality useful, consider donating to the Internet Archive (they do a very great work)...
