Escaneo de Seguridad
Detección de Vulnerabilidades
# Automatic security scanning
# Detects common vulnerabilities:
# - SQL injection
# - Cross-site scripting (XSS)
# - Hardcoded credentials
# - Insecure cryptographic practices
# - Path traversal vulnerabilities
Escaneo de Seguridad Manual
# VS Code:
# 1. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
# 2. Type "CodeWhisperer Security Scan"
# 3. Select files to scan
# 4. Review results in Problems panel
# JetBrains:
# 1. Tools > AWS > CodeWhisperer > Security Scan
# 2. Select scope (file/project)
# 3. Review results in inspection panel
Resultados de Escaneo de Seguridad
# High severity issues:
# - Critical security vulnerabilities
# - Immediate attention required
# - Detailed remediation steps provided
# Medium/Low severity:
# - Potential security concerns
# - Best practice recommendations
# - Code quality improvements
Uso de Línea de Comandos
Instalación de CLI
# Install via npm
npm install -g @amzn/codewhisperer-cli
# Install via pip
pip install codewhisperer-cli
# Verify installation
codewhisperer --version
Autenticación de CLI
Would you like me to continue with the remaining sections?```bash
Authenticate with AWS Builder ID
codewhisperer auth login
Use AWS credentials
codewhisperer auth login —profile your-aws-profile
Check authentication status
codewhisperer auth status
### Code Generation via CLI
```bash
# Generate code from prompt
codewhisperer generate --prompt "Python function to sort dictionary by values"
# Generate with context file
codewhisperer generate --prompt "Add error handling" --context main.py
# Interactive mode
codewhisperer interactive
Best Practices
Effective Prompting
# Good: Specific and descriptive comments
# Function to validate email format using regex and return boolean
def validate_email(email):
# CodeWhisperer generates accurate implementation
# Bad: Vague comments
# Email function
def email_func():
# Less accurate suggestions
Code Review
# Always review generated code:
# 1. Check for logical correctness
# 2. Verify security implications
# 3. Ensure code style consistency
# 4. Test functionality thoroughly
# 5. Validate error handling
Security Considerations
# Review security scan results regularly
# Don't ignore vulnerability warnings
# Validate all input parameters
# Use secure coding practices
# Keep dependencies updated

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
# CodeWhisperer not working:
# 1. Check internet connection
# 2. Verify authentication status
# 3. Restart IDE
# 4. Update AWS Toolkit extension
# No suggestions appearing:
# 1. Check if CodeWhisperer is enabled
# 2. Verify file type is supported
# 3. Check automatic trigger settings
# 4. Try manual trigger (Alt+C)
Performance Issues
# Slow suggestions:
# 1. Close unnecessary files
# 2. Reduce project size
# 3. Check network connectivity
# 4. Update to latest extension version
# High CPU usage:
# 1. Adjust suggestion frequency
# 2. Disable automatic triggers
# 3. Use manual triggers only
# 4. Configure suggestion limits
Debug Information
# VS Code debug info:
# 1. View > Output
# 2. Select "AWS Toolkit" from dropdown
# 3. Check for error messages
# JetBrains debug info:
# 1. Help > Show Log in Explorer
# 2. Look for AWS-related log files
# 3. Check for error patterns
Code Examples
Python Data Processing
# Function to process CSV file and calculate statistics
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
def process_sales_data(file_path):
df = pd.read_csv(file_path)
# Calculate key metrics
total_sales = df['amount'].sum()
avg_sale = df['amount'].mean()
top_products = df.groupby('product')['amount'].sum().sort_values(ascending=False).head(5)
return {
'total_sales': total_sales,
'average_sale': avg_sale,
'top_products': top_products.to_dict()
}
JavaScript API Integration
// Function to fetch user data with error handling and retry logic
async function fetchUserData(userId, maxRetries = 3) {
for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
}
const userData = await response.json();
return userData;
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Attempt ${attempt} failed:`, error.message);
if (attempt === maxRetries) {
throw new Error(`Failed to fetch user data after ${maxRetries} attempts`);
}
// Wait before retry
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000 * attempt));
}
}
}
Java Spring Boot Controller
// REST controller for product management with validation
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/products")
@Validated
public class ProductController {
@Autowired
private ProductService productService;
@PostMapping
public ResponseEntity<Product> createProduct(@Valid @RequestBody ProductDTO productDTO) {
try {
Product product = productService.createProduct(productDTO);
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED).body(product);
} catch (ValidationException e) {
return ResponseEntity.badRequest().build();
} catch (Exception e) {
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).build();
}
}
}
