How We Audited a High-Traffic Perl Enterprise Stack on AWS and Mitigated untrusted command injection in system utility scripts

Initial Triage: Identifying the Attack Vector Our engagement began with a critical alert from our AWS GuardDuty service, flagging suspicious outbound network activity originating from a fleet of EC2 instances running a high-traffic Perl enterprise application. The activity pointed towards potential command injection vulnerabilities within system utility scripts that were being executed by the application. […]

Scaling C++ on OVH to Handle 50,000+ Concurrent Requests

Architectural Foundation: Asynchronous C++ and High-Performance Networking Achieving 50,000+ concurrent requests with C++ on OVH infrastructure necessitates a robust, non-blocking, and highly efficient architectural foundation. Traditional thread-per-request models quickly become a bottleneck due to context switching overhead and memory consumption. Our approach leverages an event-driven, asynchronous I/O model, primarily using libraries like Boost.Asio or the […]
