Selective HTTP Proxying in Linux, (Thu, May 21st)

Recently, Rob wrote about a tool, Proxifier, that can intercept requests from specific processes. Proxifier is available for Windows, macOS, and Android. But I have not seen a generic Linux option yet. The advantage of a tool like Proxifier is the ability to target specific software. For debugging, reverse engineering, and similar tasks, selecting a specific process is quite useful, as it creates less noise to sift through and simplifies analysis.

Why we use CAPTCHAs, (Mon, May 11th)

A few months ago, I implemented Cloudflare&&#x23&#x3b;x26&#x3b;&#x23&#x3b;39&#x3b;s Turnstile CAPTCHA on some pages. The reason for implementing these CAPTCHAs is obvious: Bots make up a large percentage of traffic and affect site performance.
