Share: DDoS

Distributed denial of service (DDoS), happens when attackers send requests to a target’s IP address, causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic.

Symptoms of a DDoS attack:
- a site or service is suddenly very slow or unavailable
- suspicious amounts of traffic from a single IP or IP range
- suspicious amounts of traffic from users who share the same profile, device, etc
- odd traffic patterns, spikes at odd hours, etc

Some methods to reduce or even to prevent DDoS:
- monitor web traffic
- restriction (for example country)
- use cloud
- increase bandwidth
- have plans (for example security plans)

Share: API

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allow one software application to interact with another. It defines the methods and data formats that applications use to request and exchange information. APIs are used to allow different systems, services, or components to communicate with each other. APIs typically work by defining endpoints (URLs) where one system can send requests, and the system receiving the request processes it and sends a response back. Here's a basic overview of how the process works: 1. Client (Requester): The system (or program) that initiates the request. This could be a user interacting with an app, or a program that needs to fetch data from another service. 2. API Endpoint: An endpoint is a specific URL or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) on the server that defines where the request should be sent. 3. Request: The client sends an HTTP request to the API endpoint. This can be one of several types: GET: Retrie...

Share: A little bit about e-Invoicing (07/07/2025)

With Malaysia's push toward digital tax compliance, e-Invoicing will soon become mandatory for all businesses, big or small. Spearheaded by the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN), this new system aims to improve transparency, reduce fraud, and automate tax reporting. Whether you’re a corporation or a small business owner, understanding how e-Invoicing works is crucial. 🔍 What is E-Invoicing? E-Invoicing is the process of issuing and receiving invoices electronically, using a structured digital format (like JSON or XML) that allows for automatic validation and processing by the tax authority. Unlike PDF or paper invoices, e-Invoices are machine-readable, submitted in real time, and stored digitally with built-in authentication, including QR codes and digital signatures. Once submitted through LHDN’s MyInvois system, the invoice is validated and becomes an official legal document, complete with a timestamp and unique identifier. This system removes the need for paper documentation an...
