JavaScript 30 notes for day 10, 12, and 14

——— Day 10: Press Shift to Pay Respects ==> Github

All boxes checked between the first and last box you’ve checked, nice.

listen for checkbox activity
(input type - checkbox)
eventlistener for a click (or keyboard ‘click’)
put the first check into a variable. (as let, it’s reassigned constantly)
see if shift key is down.
and if key is down and box is checked, have a blast, do what you want.

“Is the checkbox equal to the one being checked”?


——— Day 12 Code-Nami Press ===> GitHub





An event listener per key (window.addEventListener(‘keyup’,(e) => {
console.log(e.key)})

is essentially a very basic keylogger, provided you have access to the victim’s console.

press.push(e.key) actually puts it into the pressed array.

If you put in the proper code, the unicorns pop up. I’d change it, but I like unicorns.

------ Day 14: Copy and Ref ------

Reference vs. Copy
“It’s fundamental to how JS works!” (Tell me if I’ve gotten something mixed up here)
Consider when variables are defined;

let name = ‘Morgan’;
let name2 = name;
console.log(name, name2) = Morgan Morgan
name = ‘Eden’;
console.log(name, name2) = Morgan Eden

consider arrays;

const royals = [‘Elin’, ‘Karel’, ‘Ophelie’, ‘Julietta’]
const duchesses = royals
console.log(royals, duchesses);

royals[3] = ‘Priyana’

updating royals doesn’t update duchesses - again, look at the order of the commands.

slice returns the entire array if you take nothing (royals.slice())
you can concat(duchesses) into an array to put everyone in the same box.

spread just takes the array and shoves the data into said new array.
——

Objects are a bit different.

const captain = person;
captain.number = 99

a reference to the original

a copy is object.assign({}, person, { number: 99} )

person copies it, and the { number: 99} is now placed into the new object


EMPLOYERS: This is me sharing notes and putting new skills into practice.

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an intruder, but it is a step. There are no devices associated with this new server; In an earlier lab (not shown), I attached them to 'H

Securing Terraform and You Part 1 -- rego, Tfsec, and Terrascan

9/20: The open source version of Terraform is now  OpenTofu     Sometimes, I write articles even when things don't work. It's about showing a learning process.  Using IaC means consistency, and one thing you don't want to do is have 5 open S3 buckets on AWS that anyone on the internet can reach.  That's where tools such as Terrascan and Tfsec come in, where we can make our own policies and rules to be checked against our code before we init.  As this was contract work, I can't show you the exact code used, but I can tell you that this blog post by Cesar Rodriguez of Cloud Security Musings was quite helpful, as well as this one by Chris Ayers . The issue is using Rego; I found a cool VS Code Extension; Terrascan Rego Editor , as well as several courses on Styra Academy; Policy Authoring and Policy Essentials . The big issue was figuring out how to tell Terrascan to follow a certain policy; I made it, put it in a directory, and ran the program while in that directory

Create a Simple Network (Packet Tracer) + A Walkthrough

Again; I've done this, but now there's so many new things, I'm doing it again. The truly new portions were...everything on the right side of this diagram; The cloud needed a coax connector and a copper Ethernet connector. It's all easy to install, turn off the cloud (Weird), install the modules. Getting the Cable section of Connections was an unusual struggle - The other drop down menu had nothing within. It required going into the Ethernet options and setting the Provider Network to 'cable', which is the next step AFTER the drop-downs. The rest was typical DHCP and DNS setups, mainly on the Cisco server down there. The post is rather short - How about adding a video to it? Find out what A Record means - This site says 'Maps a name to an IP address', which is DNS. So it's another name for DNS? You can change them (presumably in a local context) to associate an IP address to another name.
