Security Tip: Intercepting dump() Could Expose Production!


[Tip #89] dump() interceptors in dev tools like Herd and Telescope are very helpful, but be careful you don't accidently send dump() to production!

Laravel Herd Pro and Telescope are incredibly useful dev and debugging tools, with a variety of features. One of their more useful features is the Dump Watcher, which allows you to inject dump(...) anywhere in your code and then see the output within their own dump viewer - rather than on the page or in the terminal.

JWT at a glance

Many of us heard about JWT and while JWT has become a buzzword in tech circles, it's frequently misunderstood or confused with OAuth 2.0 and OIDC, particularly among those who use it without fully grasping its intricacies.

It's especially messy when folks treat these tech tools like magic wands, waving them around without peeking under the hood.

What is JWT? By itself is a small piece of data that contains information about someone or something. It's like a small container which is able to keep and transfer information between two different destinations. Or it's like a digital badge that proves who the user is and what this user is authorized to do.
