Virtual Event- Go Modules Security & Choosing a Technical Recruiter
Details
Join the Mile High Gophers group for a virtual meetup! We'll have two speakers presenting on two different topics.
TOPIC 1:
Security of Go Modules and Vulnerability Scanning in GoCenter and VSCode
Go 1.13 introduced important security features to Go Modules including a checksumdb. Deep Datta from JFrog will explain how this works and provide info on other tools that keep modules secure. He will review GoCenter’s vulnerability scanning capabilities so developers can check for security issues or known vulnerabilities
As background, when a developer creates a new module or a new version of an existing module in Go 1.13, a go.sum file included in the module creates a list of SHA-256 hashes that are unique to that module version. That go.sum file is then sent to Google’s official checksum database where it is stored and used to verify that modules haven’t been tampered with when accessed later by a GOPROXY. This helps keep the integrity of packages intact. In this talk, Deep will go over the behavior of the checksum database, how it protects Go modules, and new tools to keep modules safe in VSCode.
TOPIC 2:
