50. Project Overview

The Secure PyDo CLI refactors the original PyDo Task Manager from Volume 2 to follow secure coding practices.

Goals​

  • Harden file handling, input, and logging.
  • Introduce environment-based configuration.
  • Add basic resilience testing.
  • Demonstrate defense-in-depth in a CLI tool.

Threat Model​

  1. Malicious or invalid CLI input.
  2. Tampered task data file.
  3. Leaking secrets via logs or errors.

✅ Lesson: Security starts with awareness of where your code can be misused.
