I'm developing a custom Cygnus Sink and I'm looking for the best way to debug it, preferentially with development in a different machine and remote debug.

What is the security model of VSCode Remote Development? If the remote server is fully controlled by an attacker, is it possible for him/her to run arbitrary code on my local machine? Is there any PoC for this?
If the answer is yes, does Restricted Mode solve this problem? In my understanding, Restricted Mode only stops attacks from the project folder, while the attacker could also manipulate the vscode server.
I see GNU EFI is a tool chain to compile applications, but it doesn't seem to come with many libraries.
Tianocore EDK2 comes with a lot of code, with modules and drivers that I'm still figuring out. By default, it builds a full firmware image that I use as a BIOS.
What I need to do is, develop a network-capable application that will query a server for boot instructions, and then prepare the next steps. The idea is to control the boot process from the management server, so the client should be able to follow the instructions to boot from TFTP, or from local storage, or update local storage etc.
You have two main options for writing UEFI network applications.
Managed Network Protocol has the firmware trying to autoconfigure your network and download files as appropriate via TFTP/PXE or HTTPS.
Simple Network Protocol gives you raw access to a packet interface if you want to handle things yourself.
We have an in-house Eclipse plugin which we use for deployments. In essence, it is nothing more than a front end to send the names and versions of the projects to deploy to a server, where this data is later used by another group to know which versions of which projects to deploy.
I want to script this process. To do so, I need to know what kinds of network requests the plugin does when I click the buttons on the plugin.
So, is there way to monitor the network requests made by an Eclipse plugin?
I don't think there is any built-in capability to monitor and/or log network activity in the Eclipse platform. But I'd say a general-purpose tool such as Wireshark (and others) would do a good enough job.
Is there a way to debug (specifically step-through) a Google app engine application that has been deployed to the cloud. The reason I am asking is that there are certain things that either cannot be debugged locally or require work-arounds to test locally (eg. CRON Jobs).
Specifically I want to do this using Eclipse.
Update: as of 2015 it is possible to debug AppEngine Java applications if they run on Managed VMs. Also, the debugger is a web-based hosted debugger - no support yet for your popular IDE. See Cloud Debugger.
No, this can not be done.
One of the reasons why this most probably will never be available is that GAE is a distributed cloud system, where an "application" can have multiple instances running in parallel and there is no guarantee that consequent requests (e.g. a user session) would be served by the same instance. So there would be no way to know to which instance to connect debugger to.

Im interested in doing some development from my iPad, and one idea I had would be to code from the safari browser. Does anyone know of a way to set up eclipse on a cloud-based server, so that it can be accessed from a browser?
I believe, you will need the following parts to make it work
The cloud server must be based on one of the supported Eclipse Target Environments.
The cloud server provider must support UI based on some sort of remote desktop - e.g. VNC. Be aware that many cloud providers does not allow UI.
iPad must support the same remote desktop technology. There seem to be many VNC implementations for iPad...
I guess the difficult part is to find a cloud server to use. Though you, as an alternative, could use any PC with an VNC server where you have Internet access...
