Unable to implement an extractor the references my app-specific server context Β· Issue #972 Β· oxidecomputer/dropshot I was looking to implement an ExclusiveExtractor that references data in my server context, and at first glance I thought I was going to be able to, but now I'm not seeing how I can specify my conc...

I think that's an example of extractors, not a middleware layer, like with Axum and Tower.

You can implement your own extractors in dropshot as well, but not those that are generic over your context, so you're left with doing the function call as you have here.

How to Say β€œNo” Well Security’s pivot from β€˜Department of No’ to β€˜Department of Yes’ misses the real lesson - how to say β€˜No’ the right way.

Lately, every BSides seems to have a talk on reframing security teams as a β€œDepartment of Yes”

We don’t hear nearly as much about the value of a well-considered, strategically deployed β€œNo”

I've pulled together guidance on giving a better, more constructive No:

Forgot to mention OSCAL, which provides all 800-53 controls and enhancements in structured formats (incl JSON) has been very helpful.
