Traditional unit testing checks expected inputs and outputs. But what if you could test your functions against a wide range of generated inputs, including edge cases you never thought of? That’s where property-based testing comes in — and in Python, the go-to tool is the powerful library Hypothesis. This guide walks you through what property-based …

In an increasingly interconnected world, security vulnerabilities in code can have severe consequences. One of the most dangerous vulnerabilities is code injection—a critical issue that can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in your application. Python, like any other language, is susceptible if developers are not cautious. This guide explains what code injection attacks are, …

In today’s API-driven applications, securing endpoints requires you to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access. FastAPI, a modern web framework for Python, makes it easy to build secure, high-performance APIs using standards like OAuth2 and JWT (JSON Web Tokens). This guide explains the core concepts of OAuth2 and JWT, why they matter, and walks …

Passwords are the primary method of authentication in most systems, but storing them insecurely can lead to data breaches. If passwords are stored in plain text or using weak hashing methods, attackers can easily compromise user accounts. This is why secure password hashing is critical. In this guide, we will explore password hashing, why it …
